(Can be read as a standalone.) My parents are hell bent on getting me married, convinced that a wife will magically "fix" me. As a mafia leader, idle talks and constant affection makes no sense to me. Never had and never will. Thanks to some dumb rule and my parents' constant nagging, I settle down with the girl of their choice. Irene's the type of girl I would never give a second glance to, the type I would deem average looking. And that's just not it. She's a chatter box who can't survive without physical affection. A complete opposite of me. I never had a need for a wife but with every innocent touch, every stupid smile, every word of hers my walls break down until I am left yearning for her with an intensity I can't even comprehend.

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||

"Don't think," he whispers into my ear. I hesitate. "I-" His lips on mine silence the rest of my words. He sucks on my bottom lip, nibbling it until moving up to the top one. After that, he kisses both. I whimper involuntarily, the sound unfamiliar to my ears. I mean, I've kissed guys before, but goodness this boy can kiss. I've never had it feel like it is now. We both pull back, breathing heavy. He grins at my flustered state, not a cocky smirk, but a...happy one? "Think about it, little dove. I'll see you in class okay," he says, starting the walk back to his car. A few moments later I hear the door shut and an engine start. Holy butterflies...what have I gotten myself into?

𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐨. 𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫: 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 I was only fourteen when I was promised to Nicolas and sixteen when I became engaged to him. Now, weeks from my eighteenth birthday and only a few months from our wedding, I have come to realize many things that I did not at fourteen. Not just about myself, but also about Nicolas. I knew that he was experienced and enjoyed his life, especially considering that he is three years my senior, but I was naive to think that he would ever love me like my papa loved my mama. I guess it's a good thing that I've grown up. It's an even better feeling to know I no longer have any fears. I will be the person that I want to. If that is my father's downfall, so be it. If it's Nicolas' downfall, that's even better. I'm a bad girl now. I'm out for blood. XO GP ♥ 1ST PLACE in ROMANCE | THE LEAL AWARDS
