Chapter 1 New Job and a big Move.

Faith

Faith Jenkins was waiting for the video call the would either help get her and her kids away from the unnecessary drama, or leave her looking for another opportunity.

She needed to get herself away from this area.

Lonny Sands and his family had done all they could to ruin her. She couldn't get any jobs in New England. Lonnie did nothing for their kids due to being in a Mental Hospital for Vets. Afraid for their safety and needing employment she had applied to a very nice sounding older man who had a newly returned from war son. He needed help in a lot of ways.

She spotted the incoming video chat message and tapped ok. The interview went flawlessly. She would have to share a house that was massive compared to their hotel room. It sat on 10 acres with a in-law apartment which the man's son lived in.

She found out her job duties were to keep the place clean, cook his food and help him when needed. "Easy work Ms. Jenkins. You get to live in bigger section freely get paid $30.00 per hour and have time to spend with your kids. I also know your situation I am wiring you money to help with the move. Can you be here by next week?"

"Yes sir. Thank you for the amazing opportunity. I just need a small favor. Can you do your best to keep this from coming out to those in New England?" The man nodded yes. And the meeting was over.

She checked them out of the hotel for the last time. Hooked the small U-Haul to her Yukon and off they went to start their new life.

Her 2 eldest kids had always wanted to go to Hershey PA. So they did that the second day of the trip. Savannah and Daniel were overjoyed to get to pick any 2 treats they wanted. Both agreed on a huge Hershey bar and Crunch bar. She bought herself a huge Snickers bar. The money spent was worth it seeing their faces so happy.

After that it was straight on to Galveston Texas. They Made it there by Sunday Afternoon. She called her new boss who brought some men to help move their things inside to their place. His wife had brought a meal for them and helped settle the kids. While her boss Sam Gould showed her how bad his sons apartment was.

Cameron was drunk and the apartment a huge mess. It was the same old thing all the time. Sam just couldn't understand why. His kids were brought up to clean up after themselves. He quickly exited the place while apologizing to his new employee.

"Mr. Gould this isn't anything new for me. The army teaches them to be soldiers then fails to reintegrate them into civilian society. I have seen far worse. Would I by chance be able to get a rundown on his past before his deployment and files on his history in service and after. I will use the information gathered to come up with different ways of helping him find his old self in the war zone inside his head." Sam nodded.

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan
5.0

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
