Medieval England - Year 1450: Eleanor was a poor shopkeeper's daughter whose only hope for a better life for herself and her family was to marry well. When she caught the eye of Thomas Fletcher, a royal courtier of noble blood, her family thought he was the answer to all their problems. Eleanor thought he was unattractive and rude, but she didn't have any better options as a poor commoner so she accepted his proposal. They just had to somehow convince King Henry that she was a suitable bride for Thomas so he would approve of their union, because marrying Thomas meant that she would join Henry's inner circle as a courtier. At just twenty three years old Henry had to take over as the King of England when his father passed away unexpectedly. On his first day presiding over the royal court, he was faced with a tough decision, should he approve Thomas' marriage to Eleanor, a commoner that he was almost certain was unfit to join his Royal Court? He decided the only fair way to decide was to have her stay at his castle for a week as his guest so he could see for himself if she had what it took to withstand the pressure of the life of a royal courtier. What King Henry didn't count on was the feelings that started to grow for that commoner throughout the week. She was already betrothed to someone else and even if she wasn't, a King could never marry a commoner. But he also couldn't ignore the growing need he felt inside to be with her, even if it would throw his country into a civil war and turn both of their lives upside down. He knew some things were worth fighting for.Highest Rankings:Hit #5 in Love out of 2.3 million storiesHit #1 in Medieval out of 23,000 storiesHit #1 in Middleages out of 629 storiesHit #1 in Knight in Shining Armor18+ only! *** Very mature themes, graphic violence & sexual content***…

Jolie Watson was used to being invisible at her huge high school in New York City, but when her parents split up and her Mom moved them back to her tiny hometown in Illinois, she immediately caught the attention of all the guys in school. The fact that she was from New York City had everyone intrigued, because none of them had ever even met somebody from New York before. They were all curious about the new girl and they seemed to already know everything about her. Gossip spread really fast in that little town. When she accidentally let it slip to a friend that she was a virgin, the news spread around the school like wildfire and someone had the bright idea to create a website taking bets on which of the school's hottest guys would be the first to take her virginity. The three frontrunners were Austin Fox, her overachieving next door neighbor that was the cocky, arrogant quarterback of the football team but also happened to be top in their class and the Class President. The second one was Blaze McDaniels, the sexy, notorious bad boy that didn't believe in following rules and did whatever he had to do to survive. His scowl seemed intimidating at first but she soon found out there was a lot more to him than meets the eye. The third was Ryan Gentry, the rich country-club boy that always got what he wanted. After trying and failing to get the website shutdown, Jolie decided that she would just ignore it, but it was hard to know who to trust, who genuinely liked her and who was just in it to win the money. She was bound and determined that no one would win and she would stay a virgin until graduation, but would she be able to resist the temptation of these three guys?**** Very mature themes & sexual content - 18+ only!Hit #1 in #teengirl - January 5th, 2022Hit #9 in #teenromance out of 93,000 stories.

I had never paid much attention to celebrity gossip or what was going on in Hollywood because that was so far from the lifestyle I lived as a poor college student, working as a barista to save up for my own house after graduation. But then, without my knowledge, my Dad submitted my name into a talk show sweepstakes to win a week with Hollywood superstar Dylan Chase, to see what it's like to live like a celebrity for a week. My Dad thought it would be the perfect chance for me to get out of Iowa, see the world and have an adventure for once. I was dreading leaving home, flying for the first time and going by myself all the way to L.A. Plus the idea of spending a week with an arrogant, rich, snobby actor that was probably the worst kind of womanizer didn't sound like my idea of fun. What I found when I got there and met Dylan was the total opposite; a man that was humble, hard working, easy to talk to, and down to earth. Spending a week in Paradise in the guest house of Dylan Chase's Malibu mansion right on the beach, attending a movie premiere on his arm, shopping on Rodeo Drive and eating at five star restaurants was like a dream come true, but sleeping in his bed and falling for a guy from a completely different world than me was never part of the plan, because him and I could never end up together.

Over time I found out that there was a lot more to Knox than I originally thought and he had a dark past and wounds that needed time to heal, but I knew I could help him with that if he would only stop trying to be the tough cop and open up and let someone in. I wanted to help him but I didn't know if I could ever be satisfied with just being his friend when I wanted so much more. I soon discovered that finding the catfish and solving the case would put my life and Knox's in danger and sometimes there are cases that are better left unsolved.…
