His Personal Secretary | ✓ by Sunlene

Cali Wilson desperately needs money. She had her father's gigantic gambling debt and 4 months overdue rent to pay. When she saw a job opening that offered a place to stay and your choice of salary, she immediately applied. She expected her debt to be paid, but what she didn't expect was her life to be turned completely upside down. Meet Christian Wright, the only son and successor of Wright Corporations. Born with the brains, the looks, and the money- he was the total package. Except there was one problem: his personality. Not only was he rude, self-centered and arrogant, he also had an extremely short temper. Employees were fired for little things like being a minute late to a tiny typo in a report. Everyone in the company knew about his horrible personality and avoided him as if he was the devil himself. When his personal secretary is fired for the 3rd time that month and nobody wanted to be the replacement, the Human Resources department had no choice but to give an outrageous offer just to get someone on the job as soon as possible. What will happen when these two are brought together? #3 in Romance [05.03.16] **warning- this story was one of the first ones I've ever written on Wattpad so there is a lot of room for improvements

When Love Wins by FireAblaze25

Luna Stone had the relationship of her dreams as a teenager, but the book takes off six months into her marriage where things go a little wrong, leaving her with depression, among other things, and when her life is dark and miserable, she finds that maybe, just maybe, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Lieutenant Chase Colton had a rough life as a teenager/young adult after a very defining moment in his life, which led to him seeing life from a different perspective after months of therapy and struggling through PTSD, but it made him the police officer he is. A man who trains police dogs who helps with normal K9 work but also PTSD sufferers, when he has the chance. (This is more of a 'life after marriage' type of book, and not a teenage romance, so if you have been wondering what happens, after the high-school/college drama and 'they got engaged, got married and lived happy ever after' this is the type of book you would be interested in)

Drizzled (BWWM) by Shicpiclover

It's the 1950s and interracial love still isn't accepted. Despite that Addy finds herself being relentlessly chased by Blake, the typical all American boy. Due to trying to make this story as historically accurate as I can, there are racial slurs in this narrative. In addition to those there are also mature sexual themes.

John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford's decades long love affair, their children, and many grandchildren are by now the stuff of legends. Unable to marry due to their stations the lovers will weather many storms as time and fate threatens to tear them apart. Inspired by true events. In all technicality this takes place at the same time primarily as Epiphany Rising, however, it makes a little more sense to read it after as that lays out the timeline a bit better. Content/Trigger Warning: some strong language, grief is discussed. Sensuality and discussions of sexual relationships. It is clear throughout that a man is having an affair while married. Pregnancy and child birth, and loss of children discussed at length. Be aware of your mental state and seek help as needed. Alcohol use.
