"It really is a shame that such a pretty face is about to get so fucked up." I say as I run my finger down his jawline. "Even more so that it was wasted on an asshole like you." I add. "Feel free to sit on it anytime you want, Tesoro." He replies. *** Anastasia Levkin has recently taken the title of Donna of the Russian mafia after her father died. No one knows she exists, let alone is the most feared and deadliest assassin in the world and the new queen of the Russians. When Anastasia goes on a mission to infiltrate the Italian mafia, she believes it will be an easy task - get caught, lie her way into the Italian mafia and destroy them. Simple right? Except things don't always go according to plan. When Vincenzo Medici, the Don of the Italian mafia, catches Anastasia in his warehouse, he falls into her trap and accepts her into his mafia. Using her as an asset... but is that really all she is to him? The question stands: Will blood always run thicker than water? Or are there exceptions? The more time she spends with Vincenzo and his family, the more difficult her decision becomes. *** *Book 1 of the Medici series* BEING RE-WRITTEN #1 in Mafia (21/03/22) #1 in Humour (22/03/22) #1 in Gun (22/03/22) #4 in Romance (21/03/22) #1 in MafiaRomance (08/04/22) #1 in Don (17/04/22) #7 in Funny (15/11/22) #1 in Assassin (22/02/23) #1 in Violence (26/04/23) #5 in Betrayal (25/01/24) #1 in Plottwist (21/05/24) #1 in Guns (09/02/25)

The Bad Boy and The Tomboy is now published as a Wattpad Book! As a Wattpad reader, you can access both the Original Edition and Books Edition upon purchase. Nicknames, a love of soccer, and school rumors are all the bad boy and the tomboy have in common. But if they give each other a chance, will they find something more? ***** Seventeen-year-old Macy Anderson is a tomboy that plays soccer, hangs with the guys, can't stand girls (except her best friend Jasmine) and doesn't know who Sam Cahill is. But when the pair unexpectedly meet, everything goes downhill from there. Because Sam Cahill is the school's bad boy, known for skipping classes and getting into trouble. Not to mention his cocky attitude, British accent, and magnetic charm, which seems to work on all the girls -- except Macy, who has a rule not date in high school. But when Sam starts showing her his moves (on and off the soccer field), Macy begins to see a different guy under the leather-clad exterior. Will that be enough to convince her that he's the one guy worth breaking the rules for? [[Word count: 300,000 - 350,000 words]] [[2015 Watty Winner]] All Rights Reserved- ©nikki20038

Nsikan isn't just our cliché high school girl. In fact, she's as normal as they get. An average look, an average brain, and an average way of reasoning. With two amazing best friends she's supposed to be the center of attention right? Wrong, but she did gain some attention. Nsikan miraculously found a way to gain the Trix's attention despite her trying to be a wallflower which turned out to be a complete failure. Aside from that, she manages to gain the attention of the most attractive boy in school, but not in a good way. To Damian, Nsikan is weird. He sometimes wonders if her brain functions differently from every other human. Irrespective of being bullied on a few occasions, he realizes Nsikan still finds ways to smile and act silly and he found that strange. Damian and Nsikan might be two opposite individuals, but will there be something to learn from each other?

Demi saw the amazement and awe in his gaze as he smiled, "Is there anything this magnificent in Paris?" Then, he turned to her. If it was possible, Andre's gaze's awe, adoration and amazement increased by a magnitude as he removed a curl from her vision, slowly, "No. I suppose there are some magnificent things I couldn't have in Paris," His voice lowered to but a dark whisper, as his green orbs searched her brown ones, "Like you," Demi's heart caught in her chest. Oh, fuck it. ❦❦❦❦❦ Every year, the seniors of Lincoln High School participate in The Baby Project for the infamous Life Studies class. And for Nigerian, straight-A track star, Abidemi 'Demi' Diana Coker, this year should be no different. Except it is. At the end of her junior year, a dare to kiss one of her female best friends had her questioning her sexuality, all while nursing a heart-wrenching crush on her other long-time male best friend, Rio de Santos. All of that done wearing Air Force Ones and a hoodie. Moving from France to forget the traumatic events of his past, Alexandre Gabriel Laurent is insistent on moving on, focusing on sneakers, coding and football. When he is dared to hack into the Life Studies teacher's computer and change his partner to Demi, life as he knows it seems to unravel. Everything he thought he would never get to feel, he does, for a girl who wears a different pair of sneakers every day, runs track and is in the shadow of her younger sister. Here begins their epic romance. But, once the two pretending to be parents start catching feelings, can they stop their entire world from crumbling to pieces and fighting for each other, or will they have to lose what might be the greatest love story Lincoln High has ever seen?
