||My turn came again too quickly. I spun the bottle, my hands trembling, and watched in horror as it slowed, its neck pointing directly at Bryan. "Well, Ballerina," he said. "¿Qué pasó? Are you going to sit there looking terrified all night, or are you actually going to follow through?" "I'm not terrified." "Sure, you're not," he replied, his smirk deepening. "But we're all waiting. Unless, of course, you're going to back out. That wouldn't surprise me." "I'm not backing out. You're so full of yourself," I muttered, leaning forward just enough to match his posture. "And you're stalling," he countered, his voice dropping to a murmur. "I can wait all night, princesa, but can you?" Bryan's gaze didn't waver, his confidence infuriatingly steady. He tilted his head slightly, his lips curling into a smirk that sent my irritation skyrocketing. "Dímelo," he said softly. "What's stopping you, Amber? Or are you scared I'll be better at this too?"|| Amber's second year at Baymount University was supposed to be the year she had it all together: keep her head down, focus on grades, and avoid drama at all costs. But life at BayU is anything but simple, especially when Bryan Munzo-star baseball player, campus heartbreaker, and certified ego-is standing in her way. Bryan's the type of guy who leaves a trail of broken hearts, glares that could cut glass, and rumors as heavy as his batting average. The plan was to avoid guys like him altogether. But from the moment Amber nearly trips over him in the dorm hallway, it seems fate (or bad luck) has other ideas. Yet despite Bryan's maddening attitude-and his reputation for leaving behind nothing but heartbreak, Amber can't seem to ignore the magnetic pull between them. And while Bryan's a mystery she'd rather not solve, he keeps crossing her path, challenging her in ways she didn't expect. Will Amber make it through the semester with her goals intact, or will her year become one big lesson in breaking her own rules

*COMPLETED* He's my best friend. The one person I run to when I don't want to face the world around me, because I know I can hide with him. In the comfort of our silence. Of his touch. My heart has always been his, if only he'd see that I'm right here waiting for the day he will finally notice me. Then, perhaps, he could be mine. But I'm just out of a relationship. And he's unavailable. -•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-• #3 IN MUTUALFEELINGS

Atychiphobia (n.) fear of failure; fear of not being good enough Leonessa and Rowan have been going to the same school for 3 years. Though they've never offered each other more than a passing glance. That all changes when Leonessa is running late for the school trip and has to sit next to Rowan for the bus ride. Throw in complicated feelings. A summer camp. A group of mischievous friends. And a betrayal. Everything may just turn inside out. Or maybe this is the way it was always meant to be. (Really bad at descriptions guys but TRUST)

Victor Carson was the kind of man who commanded attention. With his chiseled jawline, smoldering eyes, and an air of power that seemed to freeze everything around him, he was impossible to ignore. The CEO of Carson Knight Group, a ruthless empire built on ambition, Victor had everything-wealth, status, and control. But when it came to love, he was emotionally detached. To him, it was a weakness he couldn't afford. He'd buried any trace of warmth years ago, and the scars from his past made sure nothing could change that. Vivienne Chen, the heiress to the Chen Group, was everything Victor wasn't. Kind, warm, and full of life, she had everything except her parents' approval. No matter how hard she tried, it was never enough. Her marriage to Victor wasn't about love-it was an obligation, a way to please her parents and secure her place in the family legacy. But the problem was, she *hated* him. Victor was a cold, emotionally distant man, and this marriage was nothing more than a business transaction to him. A marriage of convenience. A show. But what happens when two people who couldn't be more different are thrown together in a life neither of them wants? Can Vivienne's warmth melt Victor's icy walls? Will he ever see the woman beneath the perfect daughter and unwilling bride? It wasn't supposed to happen. But sometimes, even the most broken people find a way to heal. (Under editing)

When Ronnie stepped into Giovanni DeLuca's world, she thought she was dancing for survival. A pole dancer with sharp instincts and a fiery spirit, she caught the eye of the man everyone else feared: the ruthless Mafia boss who ruled the city from the shadows. Gio wasn't supposed to want her. Ronnie wasn't supposed to stay. But fate had other plans. Drawn together in a world built on power, poker, and blood, their connection burned too hot to deny. He taught her the games of strategy and deception, training her to outplay even the sharpest men at his poker tables. Together, they navigated the dark underbelly of his empire - where every choice had consequences, and where love could be as dangerous as any enemy. But with every kill, every betrayal, and every storm that raged against them, Ronnie and Gio refused to let go of each other. Their bond grew stronger than the empire Gio once ruled, stronger than the ghosts of their pasts. What began with chaos transformed into something deeper: a family, a home, a forever neither thought they deserved. From smoky poker rooms to bloodstained nights, from sleepless newborn cries to backyard barbecues filled with laughter, this is a love story carved out of fire and sharpened by survival. The mafia boss and the dancer who brought him to his knees.

"hey! Blondie!" "don't call me that" extended synopsis inside

Violetta (Violet) Jackson has big dreams. None of which happen to include sitting in detention for a week straight for a lab disaster that wasn't even her fault. That's all thanks to Will Hawthorne, his friends (one of whom she unfortunately used to date and now torments her whenever he gets the chance), as well as a coincidental meeting with a kindhearted woman who Violet discovers to be Will's mother. Violet's goal remains unwavering - keep her head down at school and win the upcoming battle of the bands contest that would enable her to pursue her music career - but with Will now intrigued by her inexplicably taking the fall for him, that goal is easier said than done. Still, Will begins to prove himself as more than just a temporary derailing of all her best-laid plans, and Violet starts to see a side of him she's never paid attention to before - his optimism, contagious enthusiasm, and nerdy, unabashed love for anything to do with outer space. But as the end of senior year and the deadline for the contest approaches, Violet's hope of staying in the shadows starts to crumble and cause turmoil for her and her dreams in more ways than one. A story about love, loss, family, friends, dreams, music, and letting your true self shine through.
