Big & Beautiful 1: Chubby & Charming

Mary E Thompson

Who needs men when you have cupcakes? Life was good. I didn’t need anything. Especially not a sexy, funny, sweet stranger who wanted to go on a date. My friends told me to give him a chance, but I knew he’d take one look at my curvy body and come up with a reason not to go out again. So, I gave him an out. He didn’t take it. The man was relentless. He liked my curves, and he wanted more than just phone calls. He wanted me. How could I say no to that?

Nathalie Hooker

This novel is a contemporary adaptation of HATED BY MY MATE. — President Brutus of the Blood Riders had the soul of the devil.

And just my luck, I was destined to marry him thanks to rules from our MC.

I was serving drinks at the clubhouse the night we met. When he first looked at me, I could tell he didn’t want me as his girl. In fact, he looked furious when he realized we’d been paired.

“Please, I know you want to reject me,” I trembled. ”Don’t worry. I’ll leave the club.”

“You’re right,” he said, pressing his firm body against mine. “I don’t want you…”

“...But what makes you think I’ll let you leave me?”
