• COMPLETA • - Era lì, appoggiato al lavello della cucina. I ciuffi castani gli ricadevano attorno agli occhi dandogli un'aria quasi selvatica, e la maglietta che indossava era appena stropicciata. Le sue pupille erano due chiodi piantati su di me. Nel modo indiscreto con cui mi fissava, senza muovere un muscolo, sentii definitivamente qualcosa di pressante, quasi martellante. Qualcosa di troppo violento per lasciarti indenne - come il sole, che mai va guardato troppo a lungo, perché fa male. - Quando si ritrova costretta a trasferirsi dopo essere rimasta orfana di padre, Ivy ha l'unico pensiero fisso di ciò che si è lasciata indietro. Il Canada. La sua terra. Un vuoto incolmabile. Là c'è il passato che tanto ama, lo stesso che, a sua insaputa, le ha cucito addosso un segreto pericoloso. John è Il suo dolcissimo padrino, l'unica persona che le è rimasta al mondo, e nel momento in cui Ivy si ricorda che lui ha un figlio non riesce a immaginare che possa essere troppo diverso da lui. Ma Mason non è più il bambino sdentato che da piccola ha visto in foto: a diciassette anni ha gli occhi affilati di una bestia selvatica, un volto simile a un covo di ombre. E quando sorride in quel connubio di tratti perfetti, Ivy si rende conto di non conoscerlo affatto. C'è solo un problema... «Vedi di starmi fuori dai piedi.» Lui lì non la vuole. "Perché non è vero che l'amore è tutto rosa e fiori. Non esistono le farfalle nello stomaco. Sono solo menzogne. L'amore è fuoco e dolore nero, un bisogno disperato di sentirsi indispensabili. Amore è impazzire con dolce violenza. Il resto è una bugia."

❀ FEATURED ON WATTPAD'S EDITORS' PICKS LIST ❀ [The Closer is intended for readers with an appetite for the dark and sexy. Read at your own discretion.] "What about that no fucking colleagues policy, huh? The one you so haughtily rubbed in my face?" The way to wound my heart is through my pride. The bastard knew that. But the look in Hans' eyes told me this wasn't a game to get me all riled up. "If your office ethics involve you getting into Tim's pants, then why don't I get to play too?" His hands flew down to my legs, tickling the bare skin on my legs and shocking me into stillness when I felt him pull up the corners of my dress till they were bunched up at my waist. "You can't," I breathlessly whispered as he forced my legs apart. One hand sauntered up to my neck, resting at my collarbone while the other snaked between my legs, parting my thighs until he had all of me resting at the tip of his fingers. "Is this cause of him," he growled, his finger dipping into my heat just slightly, circling the entrance, "or me?" He sounded so needing, so deprived. It turned me on knowing that I was the one making him feel this way, that despite being the one thrown up against a wall, I had the ultimate power over this man. "It's...It's you." I gulped and met his eyes. "It's all you." ● What happens when an unstoppable, hard-hitting business woman meets an unmovable, chauvinist, and utterly exhausting heir to a multi-million empire? Disaster, of course. For Tris, Hans Castellan proves to be more than a challenge of the heart and of the body. For Hans, Tris Henderson turns out to be a woman worth fighting for, despite a rocky start and more than a few broken hearts. Then again, no one said closing this deal would be easy. ● © Beatrice Manuel, All Rights Reserved

UNEDITED After violating campus rules and committing student misconduct, twenty-three-year-old Warren Ashford is deep trouble and at risk of losing his volleyball scholarship -- the one thing he truly values other than his bad boy reputation, and his family. There's only one way Warren can salvage the scholarship that's giving him a free ride through university and that involved keeping his lifestyle low-key. Meaning, no partying at clubs on Friday nights and no late-night hookups with random girls. No fun. Just him, his education, and volleyball. Oh -- and the high-strung, sassy girl with the deepest brown eyes he's ever seen. The moment she walks into his dorm room -- the same room she's staying in because of a glitch in the computer system -- he wants nothing more than to strip her down both physically and mentally. Not only is she immune to boys like Warren, but she makes it obvious that she's not interested in having any kind of relationship with the campus' star athlete. Warren likes the challenge, but little does he know that Nova Elliot, behind her spitfire attitude and deep brown eyes, is still nursing a broken heart and a past full of despair. The last thing she wants is to hand her heart over to a boy like Warren Ashford (who has a faultless smoulder) -- the kind that only ends up breaking hearts after toying with them. But as the winter semester passes and the heat of summer arrives, Warren's bad boy charm begins to crack Nova's structurally built walls as the two of them head out on an unforgettable trip to Halifax. The two of them begin to learn that two people often fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time and do unexpected things.
