Chapter 1

‘Still nothing,’ I complain to Carley as I close my laptop harder than is really necessary, and the table shakes in protest. I had been applying for positions for the last month since I graduated from NYU and still nothing, not so much as an interview or call. My degree was business management and organisation and I couldn’t so much as get an interview for a PA position. I had sent out dozens of applications and so far, nothing.

Carley gives me a small, kind smile from the kitchen, and I know that one of her pep talks is sure to follow. I met Carly in our first year of NYU and we have been best friends ever since. She’s tall, willowy and blonde with blue eyes, a stark contrast to my olive skin, curvy figure, dark, almost black hair and green eyes, but she is sweet, kind and, not that I’d ever tell her this, her pep talks actually do work.

‘Don’t worry honey, something will come up. You are amazing, talented and someday soon someone is going to see that. All you need is that first interview then there will be no competition,’ she states emphatically, and I smile gratefully at her, knowing that she wholeheartedly believes what she says.

‘Thanks, but getting the interview seems to be the main problem at the moment,’ I grumble.

‘No time to dwell now,’ she says clapping her hands together, maintaining her always positive attitude.

‘We need to be out of here in forty-five minutes, so we need to get moving. Go get your cute butt in the shower,’ she orders before making her way into her own room.

We managed to find a 2-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn. It wasn’t the biggest place, considering it costs us about $2500 a month in rent each, but it has an open plan living, dining and kitchen area, with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom each. It has a light, modern, minimalistic feel to it and we both fell in love with it straight away, it’s been our home for the last three years.

Heeding her advice, I make my way into my shower and let the hot water spray loosen the noughts in my neck from sitting at my laptop for too long. I stay in there as long as I can get away with, then wrapping a towel around me, I head into my room to get ready for the night ahead.

Since our first year at NYU we’ve been working at a Gentlemen’s Club as dancers to pay our way through school. I know I’m a total cliché, but the money is great, way more than what I would earn as a waitress or store clerk; believe me I tried those options first. My dad had offered to help support me through school, but he was NYPD and living alone in the city too. I know money had been tight since my mom died of cancer three years previously. He was also still paying off her medical bills, so I almost always said no when he offered me money. Carley was already working at the club and got me an audition. I had dance classes as a kid right through my teenage years, so I had a natural good balance and rhythm, and I was offered the job on the spot, although I think my sizeable breasts and J-Lo bootie probably had a good bit to do with it too. I’d always kept myself in good shape, so I was pretty tight and toned from the dance and spin classes I took regularly.

I moisturise every inch of me, checking for any blemishes that I need to cover up. You’d be surprised the difference it makes to your tips if you have any scratches or bruises visible. Thankfully, due to my olive skin, I carry a tan pretty much year-round, so I don’t need to deal with fake tan every day. I decide to leave my wet hair down, so that by the time I get to work I should have a natural beach wave effect, which the customers seem to love. I grab my go-bag and throw on jeans, a shirt and my flats, and head out of my room just as Carley is filling our travel mugs with coffee.

‘You all set?’ she enquires, lifting her head as I come into the kitchen.

‘Living the dream,’ I reply sarcastically with an eye roll, and she sniggers.

‘It’s not forever honey; just remember that,’ she reassures me.

That’s ok for her to say; she’s already got herself a job. Carley graduated same day as me, and two weeks later got a job in a high school in Brooklyn as their new English Teacher, and she absolutely loves it. She’s only picking up a few extra shifts at the club to get some money behind her, while she waits for her first pay check to come through.

‘Let’s do this,’ I say with as much enthusiasm as I can muster. Then we are out the door, coffee in hand.

    #bingeread So I just finished book 1 and it was very well written. After the coffee shop incident I said she will be working for him. lol. but when she called him out during the interview I knew I had to read it faster. I wanted to to know it all. I am now just waiting to see if Carly and Taylor’s book will be as good as Alaina and Lucas’

    Alaina-AS... the introduction is blacked out... couldn't read it... read a few chapters... interesting but again... similar genre of billionaire CEO and personal assistant... will have to read further for more comments

  • Sara Arfaei

    Alaina-AS This is not really my type of story. The intro is like that of a lot of others in the same genre: personal assistant and the billionaire CEO in a heated romance! So I don’t think I’m gonna read this one!

  • Me Myself

    Alaina-AS I have read the first few chapters and the book seems fine so far. I was not able to read the synopsis so I assume the stripper has a hot affair with the billionaire after he sees her performing at the club. this would be the same billionaire whom she just happened to spill coffee on who yelled at her.

    Alaina-AS I have read a few chapters of this story and it's written very well. I will not lie and say this is my typical story, because it's not. I may continue to read to see where it goes, I'm just not sure.

    Alaina-as. I am so impatient when books are not complete. they keep me wanting more and more and I have to wait to get to read what happens next. it definitely is a good start to the book. hopefully it get written pretty quickly.

  • Lonnie Miller

    Alaina-AS The synopsis is very enticing. The first chapter does a great job of character building. You start getting to know more about the FL and her best friend. You can feel her frustration at not getting any job interviews.

"Wait, she's YOUR mate?" Mark asked, "That's...wow... I did not see that coming..."
"WHO did that to her?!" Andres asked again, still staring at the girl.
Her injuries were darkening with the passing of each minute.
Her skin even seemed paler in comparison to the deep browns and purples.

"I called the doctor over. You think it's internal bleeding?"
Stace addressed Alex but looked back to Lita, "She was fine, I mean flustered and bruised but fine, ya know. And then boom, she was passing out. Nothing we did would wake her up..."

"WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHO DID THIS TO HER?!"
Cole's eyes shifted deep red, "It's not your fucking concern! Is she YOUR mate now?!"
"See that's what I mean, if she'd had THAT man protecting her, maybe this wouldn't have happened," Stace yelled, tossing her arms into the air.
"Stacey Ramos, you will address your Alpha with his due respect, are we clear?"
Alex growled, icy blue eyes glaring at her.
She nodded quietly.
Andres also lowered his head slightly, showing submission, "Of course she's not my mate Alpha, however..."
"However, what, Delta?!"

"At the moment, you haven't rejected her. That would make her our Luna..."

After her brother's sudden death, Lita picks up her life and moves to Stanford, CA, the last place he lived.

Trigger/Content Warning:
This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised.

This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire.


“Take off your dress, Meadow.”

“Why?”

“Because your ex is watching,” he said, leaning back into his seat. “And I want him to see what he lost.”

••••••••••••*
Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance.

One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger’s offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring.

Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel.
He also suffers from a neurological condition—he can’t feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch.

Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed.
She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience… revenge.
But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming.

Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything.

Alaric doesn’t share what’s his.
Not his company.
Not his wife.
And definitely not his vengeance.

Strings of Fate

Strings of Fate

Completed · Kit Bryan
I'm an ordinary waiter, but I can see people's fate, including Shifters.
Like all children, I was tested for magic when I was only a few days old. Since my specific bloodline is unknown and my magic is unidentifiable, I was marked with a delicate swirling pattern around my upper right arm.

I do have magic, just as the tests showed, but it has never lined up with any known Magic species.

I can't breathe fire like a dragon Shifter, or hex people who piss me off like Witches. I can't make potions like an Alchemist or seduce people like a Succubus. Now I don't mean to be unappreciative of the power I do have, it's interesting and all, but it just really doesn't pack much of a punch and most of the time it is just pretty much useless. My special magical skill is the ability to see threads of fate.

Most of life is annoying enough for me, and what never occurred to me is that my mate is a rude, pompous nuisance. He's an Alpha and my friend's twin brother.

“What are you doing? This is my home, you can't just let yourself in!” I try and keep my voice firm but when he turns and fixes me with his golden eyes I shrink back. The look he gives me is imperious and I automatically drop my eyes to the floor as is my habit. Then I force myself to look back up again. He doesn't notice me looking up because he's already looked away from me. He's being rude, I refuse to show that he's scaring me, even though he most definitely is. He glances around and after realising that the only place to sit is the little table with its two chairs he points to it.

“Sit.” he orders. I glare at him. Who is he to order me around like this? How can someone this obnoxious possibly be my soul mate? Maybe I'm still asleep. I pinch my arm and my eyes water a little from the sting of pain.

Her Obsession.

Ongoing · sheridan.hartin
He kills without mercy. She loves without reason. And nothing will stop her from having him.

For three years, Mafia leader Conner O’Neill has felt eyes on him. A phantom touch in the night. Perfume lingering on his pillows. Warm cookies in his oven. Enemies' heads delivered to his doorstep, gift-wrapped in bloodied silk. It isn’t fear that coils in his gut—it’s fascination. Someone is watching him. Someone who knows him. Someone who kills for him.

Her name is Sage—and she’s been his shadow since the night he unknowingly stole her heart with a bullet to another man’s brain. For her, it was love at first sight. Violent. Beautiful. Inevitable. Raised in darkness, owned by a monster, Sage was never meant to love. But Conner changed that. And she’s been his ever since, waiting for the day she can step out of the shadows and into his arms.

But the man who owns her doesn’t let go of his toys. And the man she loves doesn’t know she exists—yet.

She’s done watching. It’s time he learns the truth.

He belongs to her. And she’ll kill anyone who tries to take him away.

"Jade, I need to check your—" the nurse began.

Instead, I woke up in a school infirmary with women arguing around me, their voices piercing my skull. My outburst froze them in shock—clearly they hadn't expected such a reaction. One woman threatened as she left, "We'll discuss this attitude when you get home."
The bitter truth? I've been reborn into the body of an overweight, weak, and supposedly dim-witted high school girl. Her life is filled with bullies and tormentors who've made her existence miserable.
But they have no idea who they're dealing with now.
I didn't survive as the world's deadliest assassin by allowing anyone to push me around. And I certainly won't start now.
