Blythe Conners was definitely in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was just a small town girl who had been taken by the shiny lights of New York City. She never expected to witness her boyfriend murdering someone, or to discover that even with a simple name like Michael Johnson, he was actually from a powerful crime conglomerate. The situation has put her life in danger, and now she is on the run, with nothing more than the clothes on her back. She only has enough money in her pocket for a child's bus ticket to get home, so she hopes her youthful appearance will finally prove useful. Luca Morelli is working one of the biggest cases of his career. All he needs is one breakthrough to take down the Fitzgerald crime family - just one key witness to a major crime to help him. Frustrated by the lack of movement with the case, he gives in to the demands of his long-distance fiancée, and plans to spend a week with her family. What he doesn't expect is the twelve year old girl sitting next to him on the bus. She's precocious and funny, but she's on the bus to the wrong city, alone and with no money. The least he can do is help her get home safely. There's something about her, though, that has his senses on alert. He can't help but feel she isn't what she seems, and every so often, she acts much older than twelve years old. ***Loosely based on the classic film The Major and The Minor***

All she wanted was a kitten to keep her company on her new farm, but new to town Aria Williams was finding that difficult to achieve. Having to escape her life, where her best friend ran off with her boyfriend, she broke ties with her successful band and left her life of fame behind her. Scarred and battered Flynn Logan saw trouble on the horizon at Aria's arrival. As one of the veterinarians of their small community, he would never simply sell his kittens. Aria had to earn one. His years in a war zone had taken a rough toll and left him with little trust for human society. In his world, his kittens would have the choice of who they wanted to live with and he stuck by those rules, until her. After a tumultuous beginning, Aria begins to see something in him that rarely existed in her fame filled world. She saw a uniqueness behind his surly expression, and although she didn't want it, she found herself drawn to him. When her secret is discovered, she can only wonder if their budding relationship can survive the news. Perhaps Flynn would be more resilient than she thought. He could lead her to greater heights than she had ever known, only time would tell.

Everything Bobbi Grace Thompson does is for her mother, who had sadly passed away in a car accident when Bobbi was just four. Since then it has always been herself, her father Lucas and her late mother's flower shop, Gracious Gardens. Everything is going well for her until Roberto Moretti comes into her life. He's a typical bad boy, but there's always a reason why bad boys become bad boys, right? Bobbi stops trying to be his friend after he destroys her mother's shop; her father forgives him, with the stipulation that he repairs the damage he caused, but Bobbi is furious that the beautiful shop she was supposed to have inherited has been ruined - so she works with him. Roberto perceives her to be 'perfection' and is jealous of her 'perfect' life, but when he sees it's just a facade... will it be for good or bad? On a journey full of drama, secrets and tears, and once they get to know each other, Bobbi Grace and Roberto learn much more than the struggles of how to build a flower shop. © Copyright 2018 by KeepItBasic ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Available for free from Amazon, iBooks, Kobo, and Nook. Or just enjoy it here on Wattpad! "I've decided what your next step should be," Amy says after the first movie is over. We've eaten half the pizza, and each plowed through half of our respective pints. I groan, both from feeling overfull and with dread from hearing her decision for my life. "I'm stuffed," I say, putting the lid back on my ice cream and getting up to put it in the freezer. "Do you want another Mike's?" "Sure. Aren't you going to ask what I've decided?" "No. I don't want to know." "Yes, you do. It's brilliant, I promise." "What happened to sympathetic Amy that I talked to on the phone earlier? Can I have her back?" She grins. "Nope. It's proactive Amy's turn. Ask me what you should do next." I take a deep breath and brace myself. "Fine. What have you decided I should do next with my life?" "You need a rebound." "What?" "A rebound. You know, to bounce back." Jenna Anderson is still stuck in her grief a year after her fiance died in a tragic accident. All she does is go to work and spend time at home, her former spark gone. Her best friend decides she needs a rebound guy to have some fun and start to live again.

This isn't a deep book about first loves or self-discovery. If you want a book like that, I'd be happy to recommend one, but I don't have that kind of story to tell. Instead my story is about rash decisions and finding out that your dream guy is bad in bed. It's the story of when I finally went skinny dipping, and how my life was never the same again. Oh, and it's also the story of my freshman year of college and realizing Mr. Right might have been there all along.
