His Pretty Little Thing (The Personal Assistant)

r18 (Intentional Love And Erotic Scenes). I was determined to work my way back to the top after taking a rather long break from the corperate world. Fate did it's thing and I found myself back in the same space with my most dreaded ex. Working at Nolem PLC as a personal assistant was fulfilling. The feeling of love and lust clouded our senses for a very long time until Thomas Maclewin stepped in. An engagement to a childhood friend, The sudden reappearance of an ex and Thomas Maclewin, The Chaos, The bitterness, The feeling of betrayal, Family, Love, Lust and Romance all gave rise to a beautiful and relatable love story. Excerp 1 "You think I would be interested in just any random woman who puts her room key in my hand. What the hell kind of man do you think I am." He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Didn't he tell her he hasn't been with anyone else since her. Where was all this coming from. "Did you not understand when....." "No, you don't understand!" She interrupted, slamming a brush on the counter, looking up at him furiously. "I'm not like this, I'm not someone that sleep with her boss. I'm thirty and I've only been with two men my entire life, you inclusive. And I've never let any man rid me of my sense of reasoning, ever!" She yelled, her voice getting louder with each word. "But when I'm with you, it's like nothing else matters. This... this thing," she continued, gesturing between them. "This isn't me. It's like I turn into a different person when I'm with you, and I hate it. Maybe it's so easy for you, but it's not same for me."

The One Thing Worth Protecting (GL)

The One Thing Worth Protecting (GL)

Colonel Cassandra Blackwell has spent her life defined by discipline, duty, and control. As the commanding officer of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, she has no room for distractions—especially not someone like Major Shae Carter. A legendary Special Forces operative with a reputation for accomplishing the impossible, Shae is brilliant, reckless, frustratingly charming, and completely unlike anyone Cassandra has ever met. What begins as a professional partnership quickly evolves into something neither woman expected. Beneath Shae’s confidence lies a lifetime of scars, secrets, and sacrifices. Beneath Cassandra’s composed exterior is a woman learning, perhaps for the first time, what it means to let someone in. As military investigations, dangerous missions, and the ghosts of Shae’s past threaten to pull them apart, the two women find themselves drawn together in ways neither can ignore. Forced to navigate duty, trust, vulnerability, and an attraction that grows stronger with every passing day, they must decide whether the risks of opening their hearts are worth the possibility of losing them. Set against the backdrop of military life, international operations, and impossible odds, this is a story of loyalty, healing, found family, and discovering that sometimes the bravest thing a soldier can do is allow themselves to be loved. —————— It’s a slow-burn romance… because apparently I enjoy making my characters (and readers) wait for the good stuff. But don’t worry—the sparks start catching fire by the end of Volume 1. There are three volumes filled with a few surprises along the way that I’m definitely not going to spoil… you’ll just have to keep reading. I hope you enjoy the story! This is my first time writing, so I’d love to hear what you think—the characters, the storyline, the drama, and all the little moments in between. Stay tuned… you thought Volume 1 was the end? Oh, no. We’re just getting started. —————————————————— 9/19/26: To everyone who’s been reading my novel—thank you! I truly hope you’ve been enjoying the story so far! I also wanted to make a little announcement: I’m going back and rewriting the first two novels to make the writing flow more smoothly and feel less choppy. The storylines have NOT changed at all—the characters, plot, and everything that happens are still exactly the same. I’ve simply given the writing a little polish. So, if you decide to reread them and notice that some things sound different, that’s why! And if you haven’t read them yet, hopefully you’ll enjoy the smoother version even more. It’s definitely been a lot of work, but I really think it’ll pay off in the end and make the story a better reading experience. Thank you for sticking with me and giving my story a chance. I hope you enjoy it either way!

A '70s Flash Marriage: Raising Cubs, Making Millions

A '70s Flash Marriage: Raising Cubs, Making Millions

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.

The explanation of weeds and weeds
" Mixed aquatic plants " referred to the messy state of grass growing in the water. According to the relevant information, the explanation of "Great Lake" in "Records of the Historian" mentioned that "Lake" referred to the place where water gathered, and also referred to the place where water grass was mixed. It could be seen that "Water Grass Mixed" described the characteristics of a water environment with lush water grass and messy distribution. This kind of environment had a certain meaning to fish. For example, in the information related to fishing in wild waters, it was mentioned that fish generally liked to stay in quiet and sheltered places. Water grass could provide such an environment and provide sufficient food, so when fishing in the wild, it was better to fish beside water grass. The novel " Mixed Flowers " is equally exciting.
