💖2022 WATTYS WINNER IN NEW ADULT CATEGORY!💖 "You know what this reminds me of?" he asked. I shook my head, feeling the rush of our jump stir in my belly. "Being on stage?" "Roses," he said. "When we ended up at the bar where your parents met, and you got me roses, I thought it was fitting. We never would've gone in there if I didn't run out of gas. You know the saying, stop and smell the roses? I thought I would help you slow down and appreciate life. And here you are doing it for me. I guess whenever we're together, we'll always be smelling roses." 🌻🌻🌻 Nora's determined to be more independent, but if she were honest, she's terrified of the idea. For the last four years, she's ran her family's restaurant and raised her younger siblings well. But with high school over, she fears she may do it for the rest of her life. Then she meets local rockstar, Wren. He's the town's resident heartthrob, and after a year of touring, he's desperate for a break. But when he sets out to make the album of his career, he can't seem to find inspiration. Wren's dreams have given him the independence Nora craves, but she believes dreams are a luxury she can't afford. He wants to prove her wrong. When Nora agrees to be his muse for the summer, he promises to make her dreams come true. No matter how big, small, or completely ridiculous, he will fulfill them all. But as Nora gets further away from her comfort zone, she yearns for her old life back. While her family offers her security, Wren offers her freedom. When her checklist is complete, she'll have to decide which one she can live without. 🔥HIGHEST RANKINGS🔥 🏖 #1 for #Summerfling ✊🏿 #2 for #BIPOC 🪂 #5 for #Bucketlist

A ring so big, that when you put it on you can feel the weight on your fingers?" He rambles on as he proceeds to press her even more. She looks up at him with a hard squint. "I want none of your gifts. Matter of fact, you can keep the rings, roses and diamonds. You should've left me where you found me so you wouldn't have to deal with such a meaningless coffee maker anyways!"

A set of thick lips of velvet , thighs of steel, eyes of molten honey, and skin smooth like butter, and roasted to a sensuous melanin complexion. He - A Man of proudness and honor. An anti-traditionalist, stripped of the ideas that were called righteous. Taboo marks his name, in blood his own blood that he cannot wash.
