The Love Algorithm is a near-future romance that blends technology and emotional exploration, set within Lovematch Industries, a company at the forefront of developing a revolutionary dating algorithm. The story follows Elena Vasquez, a brilliant and skeptical software engineer, who designed the algorithm to predict perfect romantic matches with 99.9% accuracy. Elena views love as a series of quantifiable variables, dismissing the idea of romance and emotional unpredictability. When Jasper Delaney, the company's ambitious CEO, announces that Elena must publicly demonstrate the algorithm by running it on herself, she's forced into a situation she never wanted. To her shock, the algorithm pairs her with **Marcus Zhang**, a fellow programmer she has always clashed with. Marcus, a creative and intuitive thinker, has the opposite approach to work and life, leading to friction between them both professionally and personally. Their first date, a chaotic virtual reality experience, is a disaster. However, as they go on more algorithm-mandated dates, the tension between them slowly transforms. Despite their constant arguments about work, relationships, and the nature of love, they begin to understand each other on a deeper level. Elena starts to appreciate Marcus's free-thinking approach, while he admires her sharp intellect and independence. As their connection grows, Elena discovers a flaw in the algorithm-a piece of code that prioritizes profitability over genuine compatibility. This realization forces her into an ethical dilemma: stay quiet or risk her career by confronting Jasper. Meanwhile, her deepening relationship with Marcus complicates her rigid beliefs about love and logic. In the climax, Jasper pushes to launch the algorithm without addressing the flaw. Marcus, who also noticed the problem but stayed silent, encourages Elena to follow her heart. Feeling betrayed by his earlier silence, Elena pulls away. Eventually, Marcus makes a grand gesture, proving to Elena that their connection is real-not because of the algorithm, but despite it. In the end, Elena reveals the flaw to the world, leaving Lovematch Industries and starting her own company focused on authentic human connection. She and Marcus embrace the unpredictability of their relationship, realizing that love isn't about perfection but the willingness to embrace imperfection.

He is powerful, older and my boss, a lethal combination. Job satisfaction has taken on a whole new meaning. When I lied on my resume, I didn't expect it to matter. I mean any child would love me; I was born to be a nanny. I applied for a position working for a woman, or so I thought. But Julian Masters is definitely all man...the kind you dream of licking chocolate from. The first day was bad. The kids were the spawn of the devil and I spied through a window and caught him doing something obscene.... and equally fascinating. The second day was worse, he caught me snooping in his bathroom cabinet in my skimpy pyjamas and all hell broke loose. On the third day, I ran over him in a golf cart. And by day four I had decided that I wanted that chocolate...all of it. Melted....on me. But intelligent, widowed Judges don't fall for ditzy nannies. Or do they?

"You're going to take it, aren't you, little lamb?" Dominic's voice is low, teasing, dark. A hand grips my throat, just enough to make me gasp, make my pulse hammer beneath his fingertips. Ashton is behind me, lips tracing the curve of my shoulder, his hands spreading me open. "Be good for us," he murmurs, his breath hot against my skin. I whimper as Dominic's fingers slide between my thighs, teasing, parting, finding me already soaked. "Fuck," he groans, rubbing slow, torturous circles over my clit. "She's dripping. You feel that, Ash?" Ashton's chuckle is warm against my ear. "She likes being between us." A sharp smack lands on my ass, and I yelp, but the sting only makes the fire burn hotter. "Tell us, pretty girl. Tell us how much you want it." "Please," I gasp, my hips rolling, chasing their touch. "Please, what?" Dominic demands, his fingers dipping lower, teasing my entrance but not giving me what I need. Ashton's hands are spreading me wider now, his breath teasing the sensitive skin between my cheeks. I barely have a second to process it before his tongue flicks out, circling the tight ring of muscle. I jolt, a strangled moan tearing from my throat. "Oh, fuck-" "Relax," Ashton soothes, but there's nothing gentle about the way he holds me down, his grip firm as he licks deeper. Dominic's fingers press inside me, curling just right, setting off sparks behind my eyes. "She's so fucking tight," he growls, watching my face as I shatter between them. My body trembles, caught between pleasure so intense it borders on pain. "Cum for us, little lamb," Dominic commands. **** Caught between two brothers...

Isla Hart has spent her entire life protected from the truth. Sheltered in the cold, opulent mansion her father built with wealth stained by secrets, she has never known the world outside the safety of her gilded cage. She's been raised in the comfort of ignorance-her innocence preserved like a precious gem, untouched by the horrors lurking just beneath the surface. But nothing lasts forever. Her father, a man with debts deeper than anyone knows, has been in the claws of a dangerous criminal syndicate for years. And now, with everything collapsing around him, he makes an unthinkable decision to save himself: he will auction off his daughter's virginity to the highest bidder. The price of her body is nothing compared to the price of her father's survival. At twenty-one, Isla is thrust into a world she never knew existed-one where power and corruption reign, and she is nothing more than a transaction, a pawn in a game she doesn't understand. An underground auction, hidden in the dark corners of New York's criminal elite, will determine her fate. But as the bidding begins, there's one man who stands out from the rest. Vincenzo "Vince" Moretti is not like the others. A mafia don who commands respect through bloodshed and fear, Vince is a man who has made his fortune off ruthlessness. At thirty-seven, he has built an empire that stretches across continents, feared by everyone who dares cross him. Cruel, cold, and indifferent, Vince has never allowed weakness to cloud his judgment. But when his eyes land on Isla, everything shifts. She is an innocent, untouched by the darkness of the world he controls. She's everything he shouldn't want, but something about her purity calls to him. Vince outbids every man in the room, securing Isla as his own. She is no longer just a piece of property for sale-she is now his possession. A contract signed in blood, a life bound by the chains of obligation, desire, and power. To Isla, the world as she knew it shatters. Her father's debts are wiped clean in exchange for her innocence, but in the cold, unyielding world of Vince's mafia empire, she is now nothing more than a beautiful hostage-trapped in a life of submission. But with Vince, things are different. He is cruel to everyone else, manipulative and tyrannical in his dealings. Yet, when it comes to Isla, there's a strange gentleness. A possessive tenderness. He keeps her close, under his watchful eye, as if she's a rare, delicate thing that no one else can touch. But his protection comes at a price. Vince will not let her go. He will mold her, shape her, and possess her in ways she never thought possible. With every passing day, the line between desire and control blurs. Vince isn't just taking her body-he wants her heart, her mind, her soul. And as the days turn to weeks, Isla finds herself torn between survival and submission. She is drawn to him in a way she cannot escape, yet terrified of what she's becoming. But a storm is coming. Luca Santoro-Vince's former ally, now his deadliest rival-has been waiting for a weakness. A crack in Vince's otherwise unbreakable armor. And he has found it in Isla. Luca knows that Vince's obsession with Isla is his greatest vulnerability. He will stop at nothing to break her spirit and use her to bring Vince to his knees. His plan is simple: destroy Vince's empire by destroying Isla. Luca doesn't just want to own Isla-he wants to destroy what she means to Vince, and he will stop at nothing to make her his. The clock is ticking. As the tension between Vince and Luca escalates, Isla's world becomes even more dangerous. The mafia's brutal games are no longer just about loyalty and power-they're about survival. But the deeper Isla falls into Vince's world, the more she realizes that the man who controls everything around her is also controlling her heart. She cannot leave him, yet she knows that staying might cost her everything. Is she willing to lose herself in a man who sees her as both a possession and a passion? In a world where love and pain collide, Isla must decide if she can find freedom in submission or if her innocence will be the very thing that destroys her
