Contemporary Web Novels & Independent Twisted Stories

Xanthie Que Azcona has spent years trying to build a better future for her family's farm. But keeping the business alive becomes increasingly difficult as their organic products struggle to find buyers willing to pay a fair price. With the farm's future uncertain, Xanthie travels to Japan to present a business proposal that could give their products a chance in the market. After weeks of preparation and a journey across the ocean, her proposal is rejected without proper consideration. As if her professional failure isn't enough, Xanthie discovers that her girlfriend has betrayed her and is now pregnant by someone else. Heartbroken, humiliated, and exhausted from trying to hold everything together, Xanthie spends a night at a nightclub, hoping to forget her problems—even if only for a few hours. There, she meets Tynan Zobel de Ayala, a thirty-one-year-old businessman who has little interest in commitment and no intention of letting anyone into his carefully controlled life. Neither wants promises or questions the morning after. What begins as a one-night stand is supposed to remain a memory between two strangers. But fate has other plans. Tynan is the CEO of Verdant Earth Corporation, a company searching for reliable suppliers of organic products. When Xanthie's proposal eventually reaches his desk, he discovers that the woman he spent the night with is the same woman whose business opportunity was dismissed by another businessman. Now, Xanthie needs a fair chance to save her family's farm, while Tynan must separate his professional judgment from the feelings he never intended to develop. She wants a business partner, not a rescuer. He wants to keep their relationship uncomplicated, but he soon discovers that some nights leave behind more than memories.
