Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||

On the day that Amelia gets fired from her job she also receives a shocking notice from her landlord telling her to be out of her apartment by the end of the week. As the end of the week draws near, Amelia is depressed and worried about what to do when her last job interview falls through and she's left with the realization that she will be homeless, jobless and more alone then she has ever been in a matter of hours. When Amelia has finally given up she meets an amazingly beautiful and mysterious young guy, who seems to be well off by the look of things. He kindly offers her an ear to listen and surprisingly she allows herself to confide in him. What will happen to Amelia when the young guy gives her a way out of all her problems by offering her a job as his personal assistant? Will she decide to ignore his generous offer and try to figure things out on her own like she has done all her life or will she take the unknown guy up on his offer and agree to a contract that may change her life in more ways than she was prepared for? Read what happens to Amelia as the job, that seemed innocent enough, turns out to be not so innocent after all...

After not seeing each other for nearly eight years, Justin and Laila are suddenly forced to spend the entire summer together. Now if that's not bad enough, Justin and Laila couldn't be more opposite from each other. At first it's plainly clear to everyone that they're just not going to get along at all. But the more Justin and Laila actually get to know each other - and when they aren't fighting over something stupid - the two slowly realize that maybe there are things in life they'll need each other to figure out. If Justin is arrogant, snarky, and just a bit too handsome for his own good, then Laila may just end up going insane. And if Laila's clever, quick-witted, and beyond pretty, then God help Justin. So the same thought on both of their minds? Is this going to be the summer of a life time or what?

Emma van der Bilt is clever, snarky, and spoiled rotten. William Knight is cocky, impatient, and slightly dimwitted. So how exactly did Will manage to kidnap Emma and her best friend twice and live to talk about it? *** "What the hell-" I screeched. "Good morning, sunshine." I looked up in alarm and saw the smirking face of my kidnapper. His face would have made me a lot angrier had it not been terribly swollen, thanks to yours truly. "I'd say good morning, but judging by the boner on your face, I'd say you weren't having such a good morning." His self-satisfied smirk fell almost instantly, and his partner-in-crime laughed out loud from the driver's seat. "Actually," he said, "I'm having a pretty good morning. My luck's about to change. You wanna know why?" I didn't answer. "I'll tell you why. I've successfully kidnapped the daughter of one of the richest men in the country." "Don't start counting your lucky stars just yet. This isn't over yet," I snapped. "Isn't it?" he asked, raising the eyebrow above his good eye. His other one remained in a permanent squint, and it made it kind of hard to take him seriously. "I'm not the one who's naked and tied up in a stranger's back seat." I glanced down at myself and noticed for the first time that I was in my bra and panties. Honestly, I was kind of relieved. When he'd said "naked," I'd assumed he meant birthday-suit naked, not half-naked. *** Warning: Rated PG-13 for sexual content and language. Mostly language. I have a colorful vocabulary.

This place is my own personal hell, and I'd give almost anything to leave it. Well, except my trust and my pride; a girl's got to have standards. Being the hotel maid is a crap job, but I certainly see and hear things that I never would've if I'd worked elsewhere. Calum Hood's naked ass is one of those things-and I'm not sure that I dislike it. The only problem is, now he thinks he can save me. He wants to help me, to free me.
