Anxious overachiever, Sophia Calloway, has a plan; graduate top of her class, get into a top 3 law school, keep her head down and emotions quieter. So when the University of Michigan's ice hockey team targets her in a prank gone wrong? She's ready to call campus security, drop-kick the nearest jock and move on with her structured little life. Instead, she gets Holden Zhao. Captain of the hockey team- too charming for his own good, worryingly reckless and absolutely allergic to authority. And now- assigned to her beloved library shift as punishment. Holden has never met a girl who doesn't fall at his feet. Sophia has never met a boy who makes her want to scream... and maybe kiss, all in the same breath. He calls her uptight. She calls him a menace. But the longer they're stuck together, the harder it is to pretend it's just a punishment. The less it feels like one, too. ➳♡➳ "I'm not going to kiss you, Soph." She crosses her arms defensively. "And why the hell not?" "I'm not going to kiss you," My lips graze the shell of her ear. "Until you beg me to." ➳♡➳ Slow burn. Enemies to friends to lovers. Banter like a whiplash. One anxious overachiever. One chaotic hockey captain. This was never part of the plan.

*Wattpad Featured Story* A year before MI5 spy Lucas North ends up in Russian prison for 8 years, there is Alexa George, a woman he rescues as a favor to his boss, Harry Pearce. But when Lucas gains his freedom as part of a prisoner exchange, his return to London sets off a series of events that threaten to reveal the truth behind the people who aren't exactly who they appear to be - including Lucas and Alexa. This story takes place between Season 7, episodes 1 - 2 for Chapter 1 - 2 of the BBC series Spooks/MI5; and between episodes 2 and 3 for the rest of the chapters. All events happen before episode 3 when Ben Kaplan goes undercover for a radical Muslim group. There will be references made to events that do occur towards the end of Season 7. If you're a fan of Season 1, you'll also discover an old face - Jools Siviter, one of my favorite recurring characters who always kept Harry on his toes! Played to perfection by none other than Hugh Laurie, Siviter is a juicy character indeed! Just like the series this story is based on (Spooks/MI5) "Broken - MI5/Lucas North" contains scenes that depict violence as well as some mature content.

When Seymour Parks is found not guilty of the murder of his missing wife, he sees it as a chance to start over again, and maybe this time, do things right. But first, he's got a kid to unload to his in-laws who live half the world away. They've got the strangest customs and traditions, but he doesn't care. He just needs to hand over his kid to them and go off on another adventure that he's sure is waiting for him. But just because a court of law finds a man not guilty does not mean the dead are going to take it lying down. Not when the dead won't rest until justice is done, and done right.

These are oneshots based off my story 'Born to be my Baby'. I highly recommend that you read that first as much of this won't make sense otherwise! This book contains singular chapters that follow Jon and Amelia's story a little more closely, showing moments that took place before, in the middle, or after the events of Born to be my Baby.

You can't say the world is always perfect because it's not, this world is basically f***ed up. Everything they see, they wanna go and try crap but you're basically ruining somebody's life, but when that person is so ignorant, they're too dumb to even realize that they're basically saving your life. You didn't want help but you needed it and it's not to say that you tried hard, you didn't do your best. You're basically blaming the other person for your wrongs and it was the best thing that you can ever have. That person threw you out the window and you can't say it wasn't for a good cause because everything happens for a reason. I'm basically talking about myself... My ma started drugs and started to be 'a sl**' (at least that what everybody calls her out on) , she kicked me out and I knew it was gonna happen sooner or later and I surprisingly left there with pride. I was out on the streets and I met the most f***ed up person that I've ever met in my life but the thing is that, I couldn't help but fall, hard. I don't know what the hell is love but it sure feels like it... [Roc Royal Love Story]

Aurora Rivers paints like she feels-messy, bold, all heart. She's always been a little too much: too wild, too emotional, too unpredictable. Aspen Ashford? He's never been allowed to be anything but perfect. Son of a powerful family, raised on rules, pressure, and a name that comes with expectations. They were never supposed to meet, let alone fall for each other. Not at Walton Academy, where money talks and reputations matter more than feelings. But somehow, they did. It was intense. It was real. And it ended-badly. Eight years later, they're back, older, maybe wiser, and definitely still bruised. A reunion neither of them wanted brings them face to face again. For Aspen, it feels like fate. For Aurora, it feels like a wound she never really let heal. As sparks fly, so do the truths they never faced. The love they had? It was never simple. And the past they shared might be even more complicated than Aurora remember. Because maybe Aspen wasn't just the boy she once loved-maybe he was the one thing she's never stopped needing. 💭 "I loved her in every timeline, even the one she forgot."

"Now since we are done with the introductions I have a question. Are you sure about this marriage?" I nodded "I am." He scoffed and leaned against the wall behind with hands in his pants pockets "Why? Because I have money?" What? "Are you impressed by this mansion?" I can be scared of Dad but he is no one to address me as a gold digger and say bullshit. "I don't care if you take me as a gold digger. You are no one who I am bound to explain anything to." I turned back to leave but he held my hand pulling me with a sudden force making our chest crashed against each other. He held my waist pulling me closer, suddenly again that feeling of nervousness filled me. "I am correcting you at this point, you are bound to tell me each and everything about yourself... you know why, because baby I will be your future.
