I clicked my feet on my board and stood tall, hands on my hips looking up at him. He was staring at me. Blinking and taking a step closer, he placed a hand on my waist, shocking me. Even through the thickness of my jacket, I felt the pressure of his hand. Looking at me dead in the eyes he said, "You're hips are angled a little off," Shifting my body slightly, he looked down at my feet. "And you've got to bend a bit more when you take off." He tapped at my knee and made me crouch slightly. I was listening but only partially because my heart beat seemed to be louder than his voice. "Got it?" He said catching my eye. "Mhhmm," I mumbled, trying to breathe slowly. *************************************** A girl, her snowboarding dreams, a 3 year long crush on her snowboarding guy best friend, an encounter with a famous snowboarding legend with a secret, an adorable small child, two best friends who'd kill for her, and the competition she's waited for her whole life.

Fiona (Alias: Snowfall) is one of the top spies at the agency. There's no mission she hasn't completed and no target she hasn't taken down. She doesn't do attachments and she doesn't fuck around. Sebastian (Alias: Apollo) is also one of the agency's top spies. Though his methods may seem all over the place, he knows how to get the job done. And have fun while doing it. Fucking around is his speciality. When Sebastian and Fiona get re-stationed to the suburbs of Nevada, they don't expect to go undercover together. They definitely don't expect to get married. Now that they're deep in suburbia, they must complete their missions and play the role of a happy couple. Only issue is that they can't stand each other.

Copyrighted 2022 Prologue: Avery being Avery, scoffs at me and rolls his eyes. "You'll get over it. Feelings for friends come and go. Hard-ons are forever." I gasp. That's all I can seem to do. Started - 2 June 2022 Officially ended - 12 Nov 2022

I hear Timothy huff. "Come back to the house voluntarily and I'll go easy on you for your punishment." He sounds bored. I guess he's not enjoying running after me anymore. Still I ignore him and continue to walk forward. My walk is more like a drunken wobble now. Everything hurts. I get a few feet further before he pulls me back by my hair. "Stop being stubborn." It feels like he's trying to pull my hair from my scalp. I scream and scratch at his hands. "Let me go!" "You like it when I chase after you. Huh, Rose." He's breathing hard. Oh my god. This is really how I'm going to die. He pushes me onto the ground then grabs my leg. I grab and claw at the ground as he starts to drag me back towards the house. Stones, roots and dirt rub against my body scratching me. I can't continue to be dragged like this. We are at least three miles away from his house. "Let me up, I can walk!" I can barely recognize my own voice. It's so raw. He continues to drag me for a little while longer before picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder. My body hangs from his limp. When we arrive at the house he takes me straight to his bedroom. He tosses me on the bed like I'm a pillow making my head bang against the headboard. I grab my head and cover my face. "Strip." He breaks the silence. This is darker than Mia.

Darby Tate has spent years proving herself in a cutthroat industry. Smart, driven, and loyal, she thought her biggest challenge at RH Enterprises would be surviving her sharp-tongued director and endless late nights on the marketing floor. But one chance encounter with the company's elusive CEO changes everything. Alec Ralph is powerful, calculating, and untouchably British-running his empire with an iron grip. Cold. Commanding. Always in control. Until Darby. From the moment their eyes meet, tension simmers between them-dangerous, forbidden, impossible to ignore. He's her boss. A man who could destroy her career with a single word. Yet every time she tries to run, Alec is there. Demanding. Possessive. Unrelenting. When a corporate trip traps them alone in a snowbound lodge, months of restraint ignite into two days of fire neither can deny. But passion has consequences, and Alec isn't a man who plays fair. He's ruthless enough to bend companies-and people-to his will. Now Darby must decide: walk away from everything she's built... or surrender to the man who refuses to let her go.

He's the mafia prince who rules every room he enters. She's the scholarship student who doesn't even know his name. Luca Russo's ego is a weapon. As heir to a ruthless empire, he commands fear and worship with a glance. Women are ornaments. Men are pawns. The world exists to bend to his will. Until he meets Amara. Sweet, soft, and buried in a library book, she spills her things at his feet. When he helps her-a king condescending to a peasant-she offers only a polite, distracted smile before walking away. She doesn't recognize him. She isn't impressed....she's just polite. He didn't want polite. For the first time in his life, Luca is seen as a variable amongstothers. And it ignites a dark, possessive fire within him. He will have her. He will make her see him. He will consume the very innocence that makes her blind to his shadow. Now, the most dangerous man in the city is obsessed with the one woman who didn't look twice. And he'll tear apart her sunny, mundane world just to prove she's always been his. Welcome to an obsession where the greatest insult was her indifference... and the only prize will be her surrender. A/N : I'm trying to make a darker and more smutty version of "The girl who didn't look". This book is also extremely vulgar.

"i don't think you truly understand the physical and emotional connection i feel with you. i'm desperate for you, i yearn for you, and i'm incredibly greedy for you-God, you make me so fucking greedy you have no...no idea what you do to me because it's not just your body that i crave; i also crave your attention." "haze stop." "fine. then i won't tell you how anxious my chest pounds when we're making love, when i'm tasting and touching you. or how i'm constantly thinking about having children with you and getting married every time you look up at me, especially when you're naked and beautiful beneath me. you have no idea how painful it is to keep my hands to myself right now, and all you're doing is standing there, looking at me with those damn eyes that make me stop breathing the moment they're on me. i'm pathetic when it comes to you, niara." "haze please just stop," she begged, tears in her eyes. "i get so impatient when you're too friendly with others because i don't want no one else to feel that energy. i earned it, i want it all for myself. i'm selfish for you like that. i can't sleep without you lying next to me in bed anymore. i-i have nightmares still and they only stop when you're there, and when you're not, i physically cannot breathe and all i want is to be in your arms where i feel safest. i haven't felt safe since i was ten and you fixed that in under a year. you broke me, niara. you broke my brain more than it already was and now i'm only for you." "and i am here, on my knees, begging and seeping with desperation not to lose you." his name would be 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐄 𝐀𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐍. 𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐖𝐎: the nanny series #2 ©𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐳𝐢𝐞𝐱𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬
