*COMPLETED* He's my best friend. The one person I run to when I don't want to face the world around me, because I know I can hide with him. In the comfort of our silence. Of his touch. My heart has always been his, if only he'd see that I'm right here waiting for the day he will finally notice me. Then, perhaps, he could be mine. But I'm just out of a relationship. And he's unavailable. -•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-• #3 IN MUTUALFEELINGS

Every person in Ashfern knows to keep a wagging tongue still and eyes trained anywhere but on him should he come into view. So when Nan Harris finds him on the beach and is neither distant, silent, nor fearful, he cannot help but wonder. How a simple beggar girl can treat him as though he is just another man? Who is this woman that can hold his attention with just a few words, or more importantly, who was she before coming to Ashfern?

*COMPLETED* Willa Hawthorne didn't come to Boston for distractions. Not for her ex-boyfriend, not for drama, and definitely not for the infuriating stranger she meets on a plane. But Jacob Kingston isn't easy to ignore. He's tempting hot, intriguing, and most of all uninterested in everything and everyone around him. So when Willa decides to use him for a little revenge, it's supposed to be simple. It isn't. Because Jacob doesn't play games. And once he decides something is worth his time... he doesn't walk away.

Sierra Lancaster has had an agonizingly mediocre life. She grew up in a happy home, made loyal friends, graduated college, and is now pursuing her dream of running her own bakery. Boring, right? A story like this wouldn't be one for the books. At least not until you bring a hot neighbour into the mix. A tall, brooding, shredded (like, wash your clothes on those abs shredded), and wildly successful sports agent. Interested yet? It gets better. Said neighbour isn't just a rando, but Sierra's childhood nemesis that made her formerly chubby days a living hell. Now we're talking, aren't we? Holden Rey has always been the golden boy. Holden...golden...you following? You'd think the bitchy universe would do its job and throw some karma his way but to no avail. Not only has he got it all, but he knows it too. He also still has it out for Sierra and resumes being a jack-ass of epic proportions (and his ass ain't his only epic proportion) as soon as he realizes who the new girl next door is. It's the same old story with these two except this time, there's unwilling attraction and sexual tension underneath all the hate. Is it just lust or does the bitchy universe actually have a plan? So maybe this story is one for the books after all. *A hilarious, enemies-to-lovers, romantic standalone. Rated 18+ due to mature content. All rights reserved to TheFeveredBookaholic.*

WARNING! Don't fall in love with the flirt. You're bound to get your heart broken... Growing up, Jasmine Lopez has always been the pretty one. Her stunning features and natural charm have made all the boys flock at her feet and all the other girls hate her. She's that girl who'll steal your date and make your boyfriend's eyes stray. But here's a secret - Jasmine is not the consummate flirt everyone believes her to be. All the guys she dates only see her as a challenge and not as girlfriend material. So she dates a lot but never commits to one guy. It's her way of pushing them away and keeping her heart safe. Until her childhood BFF Sebastian moves back into town. Sebastian is the friendly guy-next-door (with six-pack abs!) who's just too good to be true. And for the first time in her life, Jasmine feels like she can be herself around someone. No games. No pretenses. As they spend more time together, Jasmine thinks that maybe, just maybe, she's starting to catch feelings for him. Can Jasmine let go of her player persona and finally open her heart? Or is Sebastian just playing a game of his own? -- This story has 20 Chapters! (COMPLETE) #1 BESTSTORYEVER in just 1 week! 24 June 2022 - 25 July 2022 #13 BOYNEXTDOOR - 29 June 2022
