Everett Holden had sworn to live the rest of his life a single man, but his plans are disrupted when he finds himself sharing an apartment with his best friend's ex--the one woman he detests with every fiber of his being yet simultaneously desires. Standalone in the My Brother's Best Friend. *** Twenty-two-year-old Everett Holden has always had his life figured out. Being the product of wealthy parents, he knows loneliness better than most. He's grown accustomed to being the broody, miserable man desperate for love with impenetrable walls. However, when his best friend requests a favor, he finds himself sharing an apartment with the one girl he both loathes and desires above all else, the one girl he can't have. Emery Clark isn't one to give up. She's persevered through every obstacle life has thrown her and refuses to accept defeat. That is, until, she's given an eviction notice from her apartment and is forced to live with none other than Everett Holden, her ex's crotchety, grumpy best friend with an attitude licensed to kill. As she spends more time in his company, she gradually comes to a realization. Perhaps his rude behavior towards her isn't due to her allegedly taking away his closest friend, but rather because his closest friend snatched her away from him. *** Weekly Updates on Fridays.

"That isn't how we work..." Tired, vulnerable and agitated at not only him, but herself. How could she let herself get this far, in such little time? He looked down, ashamed, not wanting to respond. His heart felt like it was beating faster than it should've. "I forgot how it felt to love you." As soon as those words were uttered from Sophia's lips, his world broke apart. Gone, in just a matter of seconds. - - - When Sophia Adam moves to a new town, she wishes nothing more than a boring, new life, to separate herself from her past.

"You're atheist," I remind him. "You don't believe in god." "I believe in you," He murmurs, letting the cigarette hang from his lips. "I believe in whatever you believe." He says, letting the confession roll off his tongue as if it were that simple. As if god, the devil, heaven, hell-as if none of it really had meaning to him. "That's not how it works," I mutter as we walk down a few more alleyways-the city of Manhattan coated in a light blanket of snow. Henry Vitiello had never had anything to pray for, that is, until he met me-the only thing that had ever opened his mind up to the possibility of religion "Isn't it?" He argues, taking the cigarette by his middle and pointer finger before blowing the smoke out. "I'II dip my hands in holy water if it means I could touch you." "You'd probably burn." 𓆩♡𓆪 𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐘 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎, the reaper. He's a prick. An asshole. A pretentious son of a bitch. He's not perfect. He's not even decent. But he's hers.

[COMPLETED] Evangeline Kingston, an 18 year old, knows nothing of the outside world after having been confined to the walls of her home her whole life. All she's ever known is her fathers abuse towards her and her mother. For her, it's normal. Tobias Moretti, 21 year old mafia leader, makes a deal with Evangelines father after realising he's unable to pay his debt off. The deal is that Evangeline is given to Tobias in order to rub away his debt. Without hesitation, her father does so, throwing Evangeline into a crazy world she knows nothing about. Learning about the normal world is hard enough but Evangeline must learn about the mafia world if she wants to take her father and all of his contacts out. Tobias is cold, calculating and a perfect mafia leader. Evangeline is the opposite. She's innocent, kind-hearted and curious. Will his cold heart shut her out for good or open up to her forever? The real question is will Evangeline open up to Tobias about her past and accept the mafia life or will he eventually let her go for good? - "I'd give you the world if you asked for it, darling." "I'm not asking for the world though. I'm asking for ice cream. But it's nice to know what you'd do for me." - "You're really pretty." "Shut up," he grumbled.
