Cadence Maxwell is living a double life.

During the day she spends her time as an average college student, taking an overload of courses in order to obtain her business degree and caring for her elderly, disabled mother. But at night, she's no longer Cadence. Instead, she has no choice but to transform into the effervescent Temperance, one of The Landing Strip's top earners and performers.

Cadence has managed to keep her secret occupation under wraps for the last four years, but her plans of keeping her head down and earning a steady income in order to pay for home health services for her mother come to a screeching halt when she begins to receive creepy fan mail and odd care packages from an anonymous admirer. Determined to keep their star dancer safe and secure, her club places her under close watch by their newest security guard.

There's only one problem. Her gruff, on the verge of antisocial, new security detail? Maverick Montgomery. Her lab partner.

Strip Tease by KalypsoKallie

What would be simple for most people: go to their dream college, get a good education, pursue the career of their dreams, and fall in love along the way- is complicated for Raegan Donovan. In high school when college is talked about and applied to, it feels like distant endeavors. You don't actually consider getting in or paying for it yet because it feels like a fantasy. So when Raegan gets into her dream school she's over the moon- until she gets her first tuition bill. A financial burden she can't possibly put on her family. But Stanford Medical School doesn't come cheap and she finds herself stepping through the threshold of Temptations Exotic Dancers Club...and leaving as Ginger, their newest dancer. Now Raegan has a secret and is struggling to find time for anything besides keeping it and school. If she focused on anything else, her secret might slip through the cracks and break her families hearts. What would her family and friends think if they find out they know nothing about the person they care about most? Enter Orion Miller, business mogul and Bay Areas Hottest Bachelor. Orion pushes his way into her life, whether she is ready or not, and Raegan is forced to let someone in and see a side of her nobody knows. But Orion isn't the only one vying for Raegan's attention. Oliver Wilson may not have the name to back him like Orion does, but he fights just as hard to get Raegan to notice him. His charming smile and patience draw Raegan in from the first time they meet and she can't help but wonder what life would be like with someone like Oliver. Falling in love with either man would be a dream come true for Raegan. But can she trust him to be there for her and still keep her secret? Or will it all spin out of control with the more people she allows into her life? Because the thing with secrets is, the more who know, the easier they come out. -HIGHEST RANKINGS- #1 in completed(11/14/19) #5 in romance(11/10/19) #4 in humor (11/11/19)

Slow It Down by WriteOnMyFreeTime

[UPDATED WEEKLY] "You may be his world, but you're the only thing that ever felt like home to me." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Some people never get second chances. Lilah never thought she'd get one with her brother's best friend. Lilah is quiet, kind, and inexperienced in love. Jackson is all rough edges-tattoos, a bad reputation, and a long history of girls who never stay. They're total opposites, and after years of silence, they're inconveniently forced back into each other's lives as reluctant project partners. Once, Jackson was the boy who helped pull Lilah out of the darkness when she was struggling. He was her best friend-her only friend growing up. Then he walked away without a word. Now, four years later, he's cold, distant, and impossible to read. And if he hates her, Lilah's determined to hate him right back. But when old wounds resurface and secrets unravel, the line between love and hate starts to blur. The boy who once protected her is still in there somewhere-hidden beneath his walls, his reckless reputation, and the weight of a lifelong secret he's been barely holding together that he refuses to talk about. Because some second chances come with a price. And this time, it might be her heart.
