In order to be given the deed to her own property, this princess must be married, but she's not interested in marrying for anything but affection, if not love. An grubby little actor tries to take advantage of her station while she's becoming friendly with the manager of the deer park, but they pull out the weed by the roots and everybody, save one, goes home happy.
He's a king and she's a reporter and due to an ancient pact, the kings of this little land cannot marry outside a royal bloodline. They spark it off together, but as she is a commoner, it cannot be, even with a meddling best friend who only wants what's best for the pair. Suddenly, she's no longer a commoner, but the princess of a fallen monarchy who has now reclaimed their place. Some drama surrounding that revelation before lovelove in royal fashion.
4) She's a ranking officer in the security division, he's a ex-naval officer now teaching diving to tourists. There has been some suspicions regarding his heritage, so she is sent to inform and detain him until results of a D.N.A. test can determine the truth. While waiting, the pair decide to investigate on their own, learn the truth of the conspiracy, the identities of the culprits and thwart disaster. She's promoted, he's given a title and happily ever after.
A noble Naval officer home on extended leave(?) finds a squatter in his hunting(?) lodge, a squatter with whom he once had a brief summer romance with when the pair were kids. Years later she thinks she's purchased the lodge, but come to find out she's been swindled, so with no where to go and pregnant, he 'rescues' her. They back and forth on the love me/love baby, but they eventually work it out. (Lighting a fire in a cave...Ah, the magic of fiction.)
Her dad's rabidly foaming at the mouth to marry his daughter to the son of his late friend. That son is interested because of a merger between his company and her father's, she's just a 'I don wanna!' whiner who ends up getting married to him anyway. There's some cuteness to it, and in a way it's just another spoiled little rich girl flailing against societal norms. It's up to the reader, but I like a cunning bastard every now and again.
He popped her cherry many years ago, then left her, turning a love affair into a one night stand. There were family and fiscal reasons behind that, but it didn't stop her from hating him for not saying anything, though with a situation like his I can kind of see why he did what he did. After a fiasco of a wedding she planned, she sucks up the jobs he offers like a sponge, and they rekindle their relationship. For good or ill, it's all right.
They impulsively wed a few years ago in Las Vegas, but she sobered up and turned it into a one night stand without signing the GD paperwork, which is stupid. He then crashes her wedding and steals her away, forcing her to commit to a time limited union. As time runs out, they both want an indefinite extension, but are too stubborn to admit it 'til the end. It seems stupidity is genetic (her family) and he's the brains of the operation, which is good.
A heavy topic wrapped in comedy. He returns to his family home to recuperate from surgery and he is reunited with a childhood acquaintance. She was an awkward, bespectacled and wired teen who had a crush on the town's resident playboy. He teased her a bit, but had little else to do with her while she lived with his family. Now they're all grown up, playing grown up games and having grown up fights (kinda, they're still childish).
A traumatized sister trying to protect her brother from his abusive father, encounters her former boss on a rainy night. She's got issues, but is a sweetheart, he's got issues, but is a teddy bear. It's cute, but jesus-h-christ there's a lot of baggage these two are hauling.
A widow and an traumatized man. She's brimming with kindness and love, but he, sweet as he can be, has trust issues, understandably. No matter how much perseverance one has to overcome, aspects of torturous abuse will never fully heal, which is why the man does some of the things he does, not an excuse, no, but an explanation and she takes in his past and accepts it. It's a nice little story.
