They want to play me? Bring it on! Not so good in description, but you should definitely give this story a try. It's gonna be a funny ride. For mature audience only! Strong language and sex scenes.

The Tale Of The Brit And The Bad Boy by cerealfrenzyy123

Meet Cherry, the girl who really isn't much of a girl to be completely honest. She's nice, cheerful, cheeky in an incredibly childish way, is a looks-like-a-kitten-but-is-actually-a-tiger type person. She has a twin brother that drives her totally nuts and a mother that is caring but will laugh in your face when you get told off by the school's headmaster. Upon finding out about her father's promotion overseas in Florida, her life takes a wild turn, for better but also for worse. Now meet Brett, the guy who thinks he's a big bad boy, when really, he is the looks-like-a-tiger-but-is-actually-a-kitten type person. Typical, I know- the female protagonist of this strangely typical cliche story agrees. Put the two of them together, and what do you get? Mayhem, that's for sure. --- *READ AT YOUR OWN RISK* - THIS STORY IS CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING -

The CEO and the Punk [Under High Editing] by DisasterStrikesMe

[The book is currently under high editing. Current chapter: Chapter 1] This isn't your typical business romance book you find with the sexy secretary who falls for the jaw-dropping CEO who is very serious and powerful. It doesn't start with the girl falling for the guy, blushing at his words, and sweet talking. It's about the punk girl who studies to be a Psychologist with black hair and icy blue eyes. Yes, the CEO is good looking, but that doesn't make her take a double take at him. She yells at him, ditches him, and avoids him at all costs until he gives up. But something or someone always brings them back together and someone else's child could eventually tie them both together. Chase Simmons is now the owner of Simmons Banking, a company his mother worked hard to make. Him being 25, he is too engulfed in work to even notice any female looking his way. His best friend, Ryland Collins, tries to help Chase whenever he can to meet someone, but with Chase's constant work, he never accepts them. It isn't until he meets a certain girl when they accidentally swap phones, that he can't help but try to get close to her. Madeline Annabella Hender is a typical 23-year-old punk. She had gone through hell and back for the last two years of her life, that she doesn't tolerate anyone. She only keeps in contact with her brother, Joshua, because she doesn't see any reason to talk to anyone else. So how did this punk catch the CEO's interest? With the only things she knows: sarcasm, anger, and the truth.
