"I hate you." "Are you sure? I don't think I got a fair chance." "I am." "Are you very sure?" "Has anyone ever told you that you're full of yourself?" "No." "Well, they should." ·̩̩̥͙**•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚*·̩̩̥͙ Her definition of perfect was quiet and dull. He was anything but. Theo Parker was full of life; smiles always lighting his face and a camera on him, ready to snap a photo at any given moment along with almost living at the basketball court. Smiling at anyone who looked his way. She wanted to hate him, but she couldn't find it in her to do so. He defined perfection as impossible. Until he met her. He was aware of the glares and harsh words she sent his way, but under what seemed like not so subtle hatred she was smart and caring. Camilla Moretti didn't need anyone's approval or cared about their opinions. She didn't need anyone, and he admired that. Sometimes staying is easier than leaving; but maybe leaving would've been more simple. ·̩̩̥͙**•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚*·̩̩̥͙ I just wish someone would stay

Where a small-town girl meets two big-city boys. Michelle Roselet is an independent woman with an unpleasant past. She's fighting to find herself again, all while keeping a stable mind. She runs two businesses, both under one roof. One is your usual dining experience with wonderful food and terrible classical music, and the other is an establishment that flourishes from pleasure. Elias and Mateo are known for their ruthlessness. Years they've been alone, and not looking. Much to Elias' dismay, he wonders into the young woman's restaurant. After a long day he craved some alone time with alcohol and decent food, he didn't expect to become obsessed with the idea of Michelle Roselet. He finds himself in her diner for more than a hot meal, and decides to bring Mateo along the ride. Disclaimer, the entire book is for mature readers only. Read at your own discretion.

Introverted Charlie never expected to gain the attention of Dia, the chatterbox on the train, and he certainly wasn't expecting to fall in love. *** A few words can describe Charlie Jackson. He enjoys the simplicity of a coffee far more than the average person, and devotes too much time to his work - commuting included. But Charlie's life is far more complicated than meets the eye. Hindered by his stammer and the anxiety that occurs as a result, he has become accustomed to letting others use their voices for him. When Dia strolls into work one day, it seems that the universe has its own plans. Charlie instantly recognises her as the chatty woman from the train he takes five days a week. She's different in many ways, and it becomes clear that there's something between them. But the journey to love isn't so smooth sailing, especially when Dia's own battles come to light. Can Charlie fight his demons to support Dia in facing hers, or will his anxiety never allow him to become more than the stranger on the train?

Is this really considered living when I have grown numb to everything? To pain, to death, to my own emotions? Is this how it's going to be for the rest of my life? If this is really it...I'm fucking ending it. Vincent Romano has gone through Hell to get to where he is now, the top. He's learned how to live above the rules of the game of Life, how to control the players, and when to become them. When you look at Vincent Romano's life, it's nothing short from perfect - other than the fact that he wants to kill the only family he has left. He has more than enough roofs over his head, provided with only the finest dishes one could find in this world, and a never ending amount of money. So, why is it that each day is nothing but a painful reminder of what he doesn't have? Why is it that the hole in his chest never seems to close? Why is it that no one loves him? That is...until 𝓔𝓿𝓮𝓵𝔂𝓷.

"You're so lame." Alexander comments as he walks into the kitchen. "Shut up, I don't care." I scoff as I continue to make myself a sandwich. "You know, maybe guys will notice you more once you stop wearing your father's clothes." He teases and at that moment, I turn around to face him and give him a fuming glare. "Leave me alone."
