Love is a treacherous snare. It lures you in with sweetness, intoxicates you, convinces you that surrender is safety. Like a mosquito drawn to blood, you crave it even as it drains you. Like honey to a bear, it promises comfort while hollowing you out. And when you're weakest, it strikes with venom sharp enough to kill. Love has tried to claim me too, fixing its gaze on me like a lone star against a midnight sky. But I've learned its patterns. I know its games. I will not be ensnared again. Love may feast on the naive, on the hopeful, on those who believe it cannot harm them. I am not one of them. I am an oleander, beautiful and deadly, guarding my heart with quiet precision. Come too close and you will taste the poison of my warning. I will protect myself, even if love calls it cruelty. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Second Book In 'To Love A Godly Man ' series.

In a world shaped by faith and doubt, Seth Zamuel wandered, lost, grieving, and quietly unraveling. The only constant in his fractured existence was Cheyenna, a girl who existed only in his dreams. She was untouchable, unreachable, and achingly real. A presence Seth believed only he and God could see. Then she appeared. Olive White was nothing like the girl Seth loved, except she was. Brought into his waking world by a force far greater than coincidence, Olive carried a past she didn't fully understand, a future she never planned for, and a pregnancy that would change everything. As faith collides with fear, Seth must decide whether love can survive transformation and whether God's plan is salvation or sacrifice. Because some miracles don't come without consequence, and some ghosts refuse to stay buried. ******************************************** Book one in the 'To Love A Godly Man' series.

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

Avery Elizabeth Romano had a twin, whom she loved dearly. Yes, you heard it right, had. Her twin was taken away by her mother at the age of 5. Her father was killed on the same day. Her brothers abandoned her on the very same day as well. Sounds tragic, right? There were so many instances that made her want to leave everything behind and run away, to escape the place where she had once called her home. But she stayed, one time after another despite being ignored by everyone in the family. Her so called brothers shunned her away because of what happened that night. Why did she stay? No one could understand. Even at school, she was an outcast as everyone knew her as the girl who was abandoned by her family. She took everything no matter what life threw at her. She clung onto life despite knowing there was no meaning to it. Just because of a promise she made. She did not want to go back on her promise. The once kind and cheerful girl was now replaced with a cold facade, pretending everything was all right when nothing was. It's funny how everyone realise someone's worth only when they are gone. But the sad question was, will anyone even notice Avery's worth when she is gone? A/N: as usual I'm still bad at descriptions but I'm so glad to be back on wattpad writing again!

My hoodie obscure half of my face so I doesn't know if this strange woman saw my flat expression. "I am sorry. I've been staring at you for a while which I know was totally creepy but I swear I am not. I notice that you look lonely and sad so I picked this flower and hopes that your day will become a little bit lighter." She pushed the flower a little so I was forced to take it. "Huh you're still not happy. Wait please." The redhead run towards a bush that has a sign that clearly said "Don't pick any flowers. Fine $50." After she picked a handful. She runs back to me. "Here." she offered the newly stealed flowers to me. "oh I also have a chocolate bar. do you want one?" The only thing that's running on my mind was who's this strange woman and can I take her home?
