A sunshine girl. A serious man. Multiple chanced meetings that changed everything. Aurora Blaire wasn't looking for anything serious-especially not while on a girls' holiday. But fate had other plans, for both her and Lucian Thorne: a brutally composed CEO who didn't do random, had never been in a relationship, and was too focused on his businesses to find love. What started as chance run-ins turned into something they couldn't ignore. But how does a man built on control survive the kind of girl who blooms in chaos? ------------------------------------------------------------------ ""Her tipsy boldness kicked in hard, and walked for the armrest near him-planning to sit there casually. But the world tilted, and instead of gracefully settling next to him, she ended up tumbling right onto his lap. His hand shot to her waist, steadying her with surprising gentleness. "Careful, princess." he said, his voice low and smooth, just enough to make her blush harder. "Oops," she giggled, cheeks flaming. "I cant believe it's you Mr. Serious." "Still drunk, I see." And with that, Aurora's mind took off in full chatter mode."" ------------------------------------------------------------------ #1 TEENFICTION #1 SWEET #1 GRUMPY #1 CUTE #1 FUNNY #1 GRUMPYXSUNSHINE #1 RICHGUY

Their first meeting? A disaster. An auction in Paris. One look. One insult. And an immediate, mutual decision- i hate that fucker. ᴍᴀᴅᴇʟʏɴ ʟᴀᴜʀᴇɴᴛ-French mafia princess, sharp-tongued, reckless, and impossible to control, has never met a man she couldn't outtalk, outplay, or walk away from. Until him. ᴀᴅʀɪᴀɴᴏ ᴅᴇ ʟᴜᴄᴀ -Italy's future Don, cold, ruthless, and used to getting exactly what he wants, has never met a woman who didn't know her place. And that's about to change. They hated each other at first sight. And second. And third.... Every encounter worse than the last. Every word sharper. Every glance a challenge. So walking away should've been easy. It would have been... If their families hadn't already decided otherwise. Because in their world, love doesn't matter. Power does. And now, bound by a mafia alliance marriage, two enemies are forced into a union neither of them wants. Where hatred simmers, tension burns, and every fight feels a little too close to something dangerously unfamiliar. But being enemies isn't their only problem. The Serbs are watching. Waiting. And more than ready to tear their alliance and their marriage apart. The question isn't whether they'll fall for each other. It's whether they'll survive long enough to figure it out. ʙᴏᴜɴᴅ ʙʏ ᴀʟʟɪᴀɴᴄᴇ, ᴅʀɪᴠᴇɴ ʙʏ ʜᴀᴛᴇ.

She never meant to stay. He never meant to let her go. As buried secrets begin to surface and trust becomes harder to give than bullets, Hazel Reeves finds herself caught between the life she's planned and the people she's never meant to need. And sometimes the hardest thing to outrun... is yourself. But the river doesn't care who survives. The winter doesn't care who waits. Cory Reid knows what it means to lose people without warning. He just didn't expect it to happen to the one person he was sure he'd never lose. But then again, Hazel had always had a knack for running from hope. And the road ahead still does not give them a choice. Because the dead are changing. The living are lying. And the hardest thing to survive... might be staying. SECOND BOOK OF THE GRAVEWALK SERIES Updated every week on Mondays and Fridays, 8pm EST

She was supposed to be alone. He was never supposed to care. Out where the trees swallow the highways, and the quiet lasts too long, the dead aren't the only things moving. Something is watching. Something is learning. After the fall, the rules changed. Hazel Reeves survives by keeping her head down, her focus steady, and her heart locked. Trusting people doesn't just get you hurt. It gets you killed. Both learned that lesson the hard way. But the road ahead doesn't give them a choice. Neither of them planned on becoming responsible for anyone but themselves. Neither of them planned on each other. And some things don't stay buried. Survival always demands its price. FIRST BOOK OF THE GRAVEWALK SERIES COMPLETED REVIEW FROM INKITT "I live for apocalypse fiction with strong female leads. And this story delivers. The author has a unique voice and is skilled in cycling through moments of rest & humour before destroying you utterly with a brutal cudgel, (her pen), that she keeps tucked behind her back. And when she hits you-it hurts in the best way possible. The characters are rich and reveal themselves naturally. I refuse to read the 2nd book until I've finished the first! (I know it's gonna rock, too.)" ~ MEEKMADMEL 5/5 ⭐️

As she's drawn into the ranks of the Cleaners, Aria must navigate dangerous missions, powerful enemies, and the voice of a centuries-old entity guiding her every move. But while the world sees her power as a gift... Aria begins to question whether it's something she was ever meant to carry.

Sequel of In The Ring Of Love. Cannot be read as a standalone!

He looks like he might close the space between us. He looks like he wants to. My brain supplies a dozen sane exits. My body refuses every one. He looks as if he might kiss me. So I do something- exactly the kind of crazy I'm proud of but later I regret. I bite him right on the shoulder. He's in a tank, and my teeth definitely sink in. "What the hell?" he jerks back with a sharp laugh, stumbling slightly. "Did you just bite me?" "I panicked!" I defend, a little too quickly. "You don't have to mark me when I'm already yours, Swan." he says. Excuse me? "What!?" I blink, nearly tripping over my own foot. "What did you just say?" He shrugs, all cool and composed, "I'm already yours." he repeats, like it's nothing. Like it's not the verbal equivalent of a punch to the stomach and a kiss to the soul. My jaw drops. "Are you- are you okay?" "Perfectly," he says, then taps his shoulder. "Just sore though." ✧𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.✧ ✩Amara Fontaine, a 24 year old ballerina.

❝ 𝑻𝑨𝑲𝑬 𝑴𝑬 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑺𝑬𝑨 𝑾𝑰𝑻𝑯 𝒀𝑶𝑼, 𝑺𝑯𝑨𝑵𝑲𝑺. ❞ ... She fell from the sky like a whispered secret, wrapped in the golden light of dawn. A woman with no name. No memories. No past to return to. Some believed she was a goddess, brushed by starlight and cast down from a realm beyond the clouds, as others claimed that she is something far more dangerous. Shanks, a carefree captain known for his easy laughter and relaxed charm, senses his world begins to change the instant she appears. Not as a captain wary of danger, but as a man drawn to a mystery that refused to be ignored. She is not merely a woman lost to the sea. She is not simply a mystery drifting with the tides. She's a force long forgotten by time. ... ✧ 𝑫𝑰𝑺𝑪𝑳𝑨𝑰𝑴𝑬𝑹 ✧ ⤷ 𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘌𝘪𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘰 𝘖𝘥𝘢.

"My brother's going to kill us if he finds you with me." Saint's expression didn't change. "I know." "So why do you keep showing up?" I ask, sighing. His eyes found mine. "Because you're here." ✦ ✦ ✦ Eleanor Hayes has known exactly who she wanted to be since she was little: a surgeon. Growing up with one of New York City's most respected surgeons as a father made the dream feel less like a possibility and more like destiny. Saint Huxley is the kind of name people at Crestwood Academy know long before they ever meet him. As the son of the man behind one of the world's largest private banking empires, he should have been polished, disciplined, and respectable. Instead, Saint is reckless, volatile, and impossible to ignore. By day, he's the boy teachers keep an eye on and students know better than to provoke. By night, he disappears into the city's underground, stepping into illegal boxing rings where bruises heal faster than reputations. Eleanor has spent years staying as far away from Saint Huxley as possible. His reputation alone is reason enough, but the fact that he and her older brother, Rafe, can barely stand to be in the same room only reinforces the rule. The problem is that the line between hate and something else is a lot thinner than Eleanor ever expected.

A campus built on roaring hockey games, crowded parties, and reputations that can make or break you before you even graduate. Sienna Monroe used to know who she was. But after a breakup that slowly stripped her of herself, she's left trying to rebuild something she no longer fully recognises. At Vale, everyone seems louder, more put-together-and Sienna feels like she's constantly one step behind. Grayson Knox, captain of the university hockey team, lives in a completely different world. Confident, cocky, and untouchable on the ice, he's exactly the kind of player scouts watch closely- the kind who is supposed to make it to the NHL. And right now, every decision he makes off the ice matters just as much as what he does on it. Because his image is slipping. Rumours. Rivalries. Headlines that could ruin his draft future before it even begins. So when what's supposed to just be a feature piece written about him by Sienna turns into rumors, he doesn't deny it, not when his career is on the line. What starts as a convenient lie quickly turns into something neither of them fully planned for- fake dating to control the narrative, clean up his reputation, and silence the noise that's threatening his future. No feelings. No complications. No breaking the rules. It's supposed to be temporary. Simple. But at Vale University, nothing stays simple for long. Not when everyone is watching. Not when her ex- boyfriend's biggest rival is still very much in the picture. And definitely not when the line between what's real and what's pretend starts to blur in ways neither of them expected. Because Grayson Knox has spent his whole life learning how to win. But Sienna Monroe might be the one thing he can't control. •.•.•.•.• HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in fakedating #1 in sportsromance
