After fleeing her abusive ex in the middle of the night, Chloe Dawson arrives in a small coastal town with nothing but a duffel bag, a crying six-month-old baby, and the last of her savings. She rents a tiny apartment where the walls are paper-thin. Next door lives Sergeant Mason Kane, disciplined, exhausted, emotionally closed off, and currently on leave between military assignments. After years in the army, silence is the only thing that helps him sleep. Then the baby starts crying every night. At first, Mason is irritated. Chloe is terrified of him. Every knock on the door reminds her of the man she escaped.

When Adrianna stands to lose everything after pushing her wealthy father too far with her wild behaviour, she goes to the one person she believes might save her: her brother's best friend. There's just one problem - they despise each other. Season 1 of Binding Contracts *** Adrianna faces a tough decision: find a husband her father approves of to save her family's reputation, or risk losing everything she cares about. To her dismay, her brother suggests she marry his best friend, Xander, who has earned her father's respect over the years. Despite their hatred for each other, Adrianna reluctantly tries to convince Xander, even offering part of her inheritance to sway him. Their past quickly makes things difficult - Adrianna used to mock Xander for being poor, which hurt him deeply. Seeing Adrianna beg, he bargains with her to accept the proposal. But how are they to fool the public - and her father - when they can't stand to be in the same room? As they spend more time together, old animosity slowly turns to attraction. And soon, Adrianna and Xander are forced to face the past, and their future, with the pressure of a fake engagement looming over their heads. What is real, and what is for the contract?

Cheating With The Billionaire | Previously Titled HER NEW DADDY . . . The man that I'm falling for is a man that I shouldn't want. The odds are stacked against us, and I shouldn't get involved with the arrogant bastard. I shouldn't want to submit to him. And I definitely shouldn't fantasize how it would feel to be taken to bed by him, the obnoxiously handsome and notorious billionaire, Kaden Matthews. Why shouldn't I? Because he's several years older than me and is a very dangerous man. In and outside of the office, trouble follows the ruthless CEO wherever he goes. But the most important reason why I absolutely cannot succumb to Kaden Matthews is because he recently got married to Evangeline Knight, my mother. Complicated doesn't even begin to describe my life at the moment. . . . Author's Note: This book is an excerpt only. The full version can be read on Ream or Ínkitt. Copyright © 2022, Amy N. Johnson.

A guarded single mom moves to a small town for a fresh start, determined to keep her world small and safe for her and her son. But her plans unravel when she unexpectedly comes face-to-face with a man from her past-a steady, quietly intense police officer she once shared a one-night stand with-who now becomes part of their everyday lives. What begins as awkward encounters and undeniable tension slowly deepens into something neither of them planned for. As her son grows attached to him and the town begins to take notice, she's forced to confront her fear of things falling apart, while he proves, again and again, that he's not someone who walks away. Their relationship doesn't unfold perfectly-it's messy, realistic, and shaped by miscommunication, vulnerability, and growth. They learn each other slowly, through small moments: shared mornings, difficult conversations, quiet support, and showing up when it matters most. As her past resurfaces and challenges their stability, they must decide if what they're building is worth the risk. At its core, the story is about healing, trust, and the kind of love that isn't loud or dramatic, but steady-one that grows through everyday choices and ultimately creates a found family that feels like home.
