LANA: I fell in love with the golden girl. She's the perfect student, the skilled captain of the volleyball team, and the girlfriend of the nicest players on the football team. She's my best friend, but ever since she kissed me as a dare at a party before freshman year, that's all I can think of. Senior year is here, and after last summer's shitty series of events, I don't deserve such a wonderful woman as her. CHARLOTTE: My best friend is the school player. She parties and drinks and sleeps around, she's a free spirit. Apparently I've got the perfect life, but why do I still think about that kiss with her? Why do I wish I could have that type of feelings for my own boyfriend? Why can't I stop thinking about her all the time? She's just my best friend though... right...?

After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world. Forced to move in with her brother, she finds herself swept up in the chaos of his new protective attitude - especially when it comes to his tattooed roommate, Noah Laurier. Noah is the epitome of perfection: sweet, hot, and embedded into every thought Madelaine has. But he's forbidden, and the closer she gets, the harder he is to resist. Well... what her brother doesn't know can't hurt him, right? *** "Matt's sister, I presume?" He walks towards the couch and my eyes widen. He's tall. I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them. This man is not human. He's tall and angular and dripping with sex appeal. This man is hot. Capital H, capital O, capital T. I don't think I've ever seen a human being so attractive. All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look

Ellie, a shy and insecure 23-year-old, takes a pre-wedding trip with her fiancé and his friends, only to be left alone with Bella, the girlfriend of her fiancé's best friend.

After sharing an unexpected, forced moment, what starts as an uneasy connection, quickly sparks intense emotions and a forbidden attraction they can't ignore.

Hailey never planned on moving back to her hometown. Since graduation, she's been holding everything together from a distance - working nonstop and sending money home to cover her father's growing medical bills. But when she suddenly loses her job, everything she's built unravels overnight. Desperate to find work closer to her parents and get back on her feet, she turns to the one person she trusts most - her best friend, Grace. She offers Hailey her spare room without hesitation, but there's only one complication. Emily. Grace's older sister has recently moved in with her, freshly out of a relationship that left its mark; and she's nothing like Hailey remembers. Quiet, protective, and impossible to ignore. Living under the same roof turns their familiarity into something far more dangerous, and it only takes one late night for everything to shift. They agree to forget it ever happened, but the problem is, neither of them wants to. It was supposed to be temporary, but the longer Hailey stays, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth: falling for Emily might cost her the one friendship she can't afford to lose.

18+ | 2026 WATTYS SHORTLISTER | First Draft | Not edited. |"You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." | The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.

Ellie has been not-quite-flirting with her housemate’s friend Mia, and not really thinking too much about it, until one day Mia offers to follow through on the flirting. Ellie is surprised, but decides she’d like to try, and slowly a relationship begins to evolve. Mostly a physical relationship, and a confused relationship, but it seems to work for both of them. Um, oops, so I forgot to change this part. I'm sorry! So this is finished for now, but might come back later, and sorry if that seems to be kind of teasey. Because, erm, well, it is… And also, so this is now made into ebooks, which are now on Amazon and Smashwords and other places. And as paper on Amazon. Should anyone care about that, because if you're reading this right now you've probably realized you can read it on Wattpad... so um, yeah. That doesn't quite make sense... But! Just to be clear, all the words are exactly the same, there's no difference or anything, so don't think it's been edited or something. And just to be confusing they’re called Touching Mia and Tasting Mia, because it all went a long way away from being about housemates, really. And two books, because this got really long. So anyway... Touching Mia - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I3OWFWG Tasting Mia - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I3J93EY And thank you for looking! And thank you to everyone who's reading it, I'm incredibly grateful! And I hope you enjoy! That's all.

"I don't fuck girls who can't listen," she carefully whispered, pulling back to gauge my narrowed reaction before she continued, "Maybe be a good girl next time." And just like that she went to pull away. Well, that was before I wrapped my toned legs around her torso and roughly pulled her back into me. Again, I hate being told no. ♱ ♱ ♱ ♱ ♱ After getting involved with Noa Vitali, a mafia boss to whom her older brother was an underboss to, Lunden Spade finds herself striking up an explicit deal, piquing both of their interests.

One is hiding from the world. The other is trying to find her place in it. Ellie is perfectly content with her single flat and her Criminal Minds marathon, and a healthy dose of Tumblr nostalgia-until MoonPetal45 enters the chat. As the pressure of her final year mounts, this online stranger becomes her greatest support. Dr. Pembrose knows the rules. As a professor, she should have blocked the charming, accident-prone student the moment she recognised her. But in the quiet of her new home, the line between mentor and admirer is blurring, and Ellie's frequent run-ins with gravity are making the doctor fall a little too hard.
