Trust is earned. Mine was destroyed. After catching the man she sacrificed everything for cheating in her own bed, Imani Brooks swears she'll never let another man have power over her. Then she meets Alessandro De Laurentis. Cold. Untouchable. Born into old money. Their first meeting ends with a glass of whiskey thrown across his tailored suit. Their second? He's her new boss. Hate turns into obsession. Pride turns into temptation. But trust... Trust is the one thing neither of them can afford to lose.

The summer she turned eighteen, Delaney Hollis crawled under a fence. Wes Cutler had a key to that gate in his pocket the whole time. He took her under the fence anyway, because it was better that way. And for eleven weeks, lying in the grass at the end of a county runway while planes came in low over the ridge, it was. Then her father got involved. Wes ended it in a gravel lot on a hot afternoon in August. He was deliberate about it, and he was cruel about it, and he was good enough at it that she believed him for four years. Delaney left for a school six hundred miles away carrying a secret she told herself she was keeping for his sake. Four years later, she's back in Bellamy County with a degree she can't afford to use, a job she can't turn down, and a three-year-old boy with his father's cowlick and a dimple in the same cheek. Wes never left. He's out at the airfield every day now, working on the planes he used to mow beneath. And there's a ring on somebody else's hand. She has one thing left to tell him. He has four years of reasons not to listen.

Will the destined child be their ruin? Questions must be answered - what is a soulmate? Set in a modern world, this is not a fairy tale ending - it's a cautionary tale of how folklore gets written. "See TRIGGER warnings before you proceed."

Bennett Hayes is everything West Ridge High believes a person should be-star quarterback, golden boy, and the future everyone expects him to chase. His name is known by everyone, his life planned out before he ever had a say. Eden Carter is the opposite. Quiet. Invisible. The girl who sits in the back of the classroom and keeps her dreams to herself. She's spent years avoiding attention, especially from someone like Bennett. But one night changes the rules. A moment neither of them expected pulls two completely different worlds together, leaving behind a connection neither can ignore. When their paths cross again, they're forced to face the feelings, secrets, and consequences that come with stepping outside the lives they thought they wanted. Because sometimes the person you least expect is the one who changes everything.

working for the president was a difficult task. working for the president when he claimed to be in love with you was an even more difficult task. ---- Couple warnings: mentions of cheating, cussing, I tried to keep most scenes PG13. -- all characters, storylines, and plots are my own. sometimes it might sound like scandal... that's bc that's where I got my inspo lol thx shonda

Mathilda Lancaster had one rule: stay in control. After being cast out by her family and publicly branded unstable, control is the only thing she has left. It means keeping her head down, earning her degree, and building a future no one can take away from her. A receptionist position at Sinclair Group is supposed to be the first step. Then she meets Maximilian Sinclair. As CEO of one of New York's most powerful companies, he is known for being ruthless, demanding, and impossible to impress. He has no patience for distractions, and Mathilda has no interest in becoming one. Until one mistake turns into another. And another. By the time two pink lines appear on a pregnancy test, staying in control is no longer an option. The tension between them was never supposed to mean anything; now Mathilda -Tilly- must accept that some rules are meant to be broken.

The first person Lennon Hales ever loved died. The second will teach her that death isn't the only way to lose someone. At eighteen, Lennon arrives at Texas A&M with a scholarship, a promise to her mother, and no idea how to build a future in a world that kept moving after hers stopped. Kai Calloway is everything she should avoid. Star quarterback. Number twelve. A boy with thousands of people screaming his name and a future everyone can see. Except no one sees what it costs him to keep living it. Lennon does. What begins between them should have been nothing. Instead, Kai makes Lennon remember what it feels like to want something after loss, and Lennon becomes the one person who makes Kai believe he might deserve a life beyond his guilt. There is only one problem. Before Kai knew her laugh, her grief, or how easily she would fit against him- he had already done something that could make her hate him. And the longer he waits to tell her, the more real everything becomes. The kisses. The secrets. The borrowed jerseys. The terrifying relief of finding home in another person. Because some lies disappear when the truth comes out. Others grow roots, wrapping themselves around every beautiful thing that came after until there is no way to tear them out without destroying everything with them. By the time the truth reaches Lennon, Kai isn't just the boy who hurt her. He's the boy she loves. And losing someone to death leaves you with memories. Losing someone who is still alive leaves you questioning whether any of them were real. Lennon and Kai were supposed to be temporary. Instead, they became the kind of people who divide a life into two halves- who you were before them, and who you had to become after.
