Strings Attached- Finalist!
“Shit!” George screamed racing over to the tap with her bloodied finger.
She’d cut it slicing up chillies. Sliced pepper, sliced finger and now the spicy contents of the Mexican plant felt like it was burrowing to her core. This was typical. She was under pressure, she was rushing to get things finished and her mind was on another job. Sometimes multitasking was just plain dangerous.

The Billionaire’s Marriage Ultimatum- Finalist!
The silence in the boardroom was deafening. Not that she minded being there, Rachel
Kane told herself, her eyes taking in the dark surroundings. It had been a long time since she’d actually attended a presentation like this and she felt nervous just being there. Her insides had been on the fidget since they’d arrived and now renewed their churning. She had even bought herself a new suit for the occasion, charcoal black and just the right style to accentuate her small waist, with a white shirt and black platform heels to complete the look. Her hair had been cut and styled for the first time in years and now her thick black hair felt wonderful as they brushed against her neck and back whenever she moved her head.

Mr. Darcy's Undoing, A Modern Tale of Pride and Prejudice- Honorable Mentions
Chapter One
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman teetering on the verge of thirty is in want of a husband. Miss Elizabeth Bennet, age twenty nine years and three hundred sixty four days, was a notable exception to this rule. Pressure from her mother notwithstanding, Elizabeth was quite content with her single status. More so in recent weeks, perhaps, than ever before. There was something about capturing the unwanted attention of a very powerful, very married man who couldn’t take no for an answer that made her appreciate the unconditional love of her dog in an entirely new way.

Companion Wanted- Grand Prize Winner
“I should just give up. It’s never going to fit.”
Lexie Marshall surveyed the piles of clothing and camping gear spread out on her bed with a critical eye. She’d been mentally packing for this trip for months, but in her head this stuff hadn’t taken up nearly so much room.
James glanced up from where he was slumped against the wall texting his wife and pretending to pay attention to his sister. “It fit when we went to Vermont.”
He had a point. Somehow, she’d managed to stow all of this on her bike trailer when the two of them had done a tour of Vermont last summer—back before James had quit riding with her to spend more time with Amber, the woman he’d since up and married. Lexie liked her new sister-in-law, but she missed being on the road with James. The TransAm wasn’t going to be the same without him.
