The Muse Effect by dreamywrites

"She writes love stories. He's the one she never dared to write about." Sophia Bennett is a bestselling author with one small problem; she can't write a convincing romance scene without living it first. Her solution? Late nights in the city bar, collecting cheesy pickup lines for "research." Enter Liam Blackwood. Once the reckless playboy from her school days, now a powerful CEO with a brooding smile and a grudge against every man who dares flirt with her. Sophia doesn't even remember him. He's never forgotten her. What starts as witty banter and jealous interruptions quickly spirals into something far more dangerous: old crushes rekindled, sparks that refuse to die out, and a game neither of them is willing to lose. Enemies to lovers, slow-burn tension, and a love story Sophia never thought she'd write until Liam insists on being her muse.

Broken Promises by itssubhi

[EDITING] It's been four years since we broke up, since I last saw him. I am no longer the person I used to be. I have gained a reputation as the most formidable businesswoman, feared by many, devoid of smiles, and often labeled as ruthless and arrogant. I have left my past behind and immersed myself in running my company. However, there remains one reminder of the time spent with him-a memory I desperately wish to forget as I strive to forge new memories. Though, deep down, I know I'm incapable of loving someone else. His name is Kayden McCoy, and he is still a popular pop star, considered one of the most attractive bachelors and renowned singers worldwide. He still carries the appearance of a bad boy, the only difference is he is really one now. Every woman seeks an opportunity to transform him, yet he swiftly changes girls like he changes his attire. And when fate reunites us, he decides to win me back. To mend our broken promises. If only it were that simple. +++ Second book in Broken series. Sequel of Two Sides but can be read as a stand-alone too
