Leila Aliyev grew up with her abusive step father and neglectful mother and had only herself to rely on. When Leila was sixteen and her mother died of a drug overdose, she was forced to run away or be 'taken care of' by her twisted step father, Paul. With that thought, she packed her bags and fled hoping she'd be free and be able to live a normal life. She was wrong. Almost four years later Leila had worked from house to house as a maid. She was bought and sold by many different people, some sane and some insane, so being an 'object' was the only thing she'd ever really known. When her most recent owner decides to get rid of her, she is once again put on the market waiting to be bought once again. Little did she know the next person to buy her was one of the most dangerous men in the world... Dante Constanzo the leader of the Italian Mafia. Despite his God-like looks, he was terrifying. He was everything Leila was not; intimidating, authoritative, controlling and he got everything he wanted. When Leila catches his eye at the bidding, he wants her and what Dante wants he gets. Will Leila be able to cope in the midst of Dante's formidable life whilst having her past constantly torturing her mind, or will she leave? After all she seems to be...Maid to Run.

She loved him for as long as she could remember. Her best friend's older brother. Off-limits. Untouchable. And completely unaware. Every time she got close, he pushed her away- cold words, distant eyes, like she was nothing at all. Now she's in a new city, chasing fashion, chasing freedom. Trying-really trying- to forget him. But he's still here. Still cold. Still the only boy who makes her heart ache. He told himself she meant nothing. Too young. Too close. Too dangerous. But now she's older- and impossible to ignore. She's done chasing. He's done pretending. And neither of them is ready for what comes next. Because sometimes the person you tried hardest to push away... Is the only one your heart has been waiting for.

He walks in silence, a shadow hiding in plain sight - soft-spoken, unseen, but burning with a quiet fire. She blazes through life like a wildfire - loud, bold, impossible to ignore. Two souls from different worlds, pulled together by a spark that neither can explain. In her thunder, he finds the courage to roar. In his stillness, she discovers a calm that stirs her wildest desires. A short, fierce love story - tender yet raw, shy yet fierce, gentle whispers tangled with breathless moans. Their connection breaks all the rules, lighting up the dark corners of their hearts, leaving nothing untouched. Because sometimes, the loudest love comes from the quietest places.

What do you do when you're given a second chance at life? *** Age 15: Oliver Sallow is shipped to the tiny town of Blissby to live with a new foster family. Finn O'Connell is captain of the football team. Neither of them knows much about the other except for one thing: they have absolutely nothing in common. Age 17: Oliver finds Finn having a panic attack in the library bathroom. They still have nothing in common. They fall in love all the same. Age 18: Oliver breaks up with Finn. Age 18.5: Oliver dies in a motorcycle accident. Six minutes and twenty-four seconds later, he wakes up again to be offered a deal: he will get to spend another twelve months as a guardian angel, neither fully dead nor completely alive. The catch: the person he is assigned to help is none other than Finn O'Connell. Age 19: Two boys, fourteen months of history, and a promise: this time, there can be no falling back in love.

Jakob Laurent was an intensely quiet, no-nonsense type of man. Callan Grant was a sweet, slightly eccentric, small-business owner. ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆ Callan needed to take some extra security precautions, but she could have never predicted that it would come in the form of a tall, brooding, and unbelievably stunning man. A stalker, a bodyguard, three iced lattes per day, and a heap of loungewear. Didn't that sound like the start of something wonderful? ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆

Everything in Jules Hatcher's life is going well: he has a girlfriend, a job and pretty decent grades. That is until he (literally) stumbles into Hunter Adams, the bad boy and player that everyone knows. Soon Hunter has managed to turn Jules' entire world upside down- and make him discover a side of himself, that Jules never knew of. And it all started with that damn hoodie. Trigger warning: this story includes depictions of homophobia and mentions of suicide.

These four boys have been my best friends since I can remember, and I love them all so much that it's sometimes painful to think about. Luke, Evander, Finn and Maverick. My brothers, my soulmates. We don't feel complete unless we are all together, and slowly, our friendship is evolving into something... more. Nothing scares me more than the possibility of losing one of my boys, but with all these new feelings arising, it's getting harder to see how we all survive without getting hurt. ** Story will evolve into a sort of reverse harem/ multiple partner relationship and may have some mature scenes

Highest ranking: #1 in Teen Fiction -- "Sunshine, what guy do you know has a weird fetish with sign language?" She's the aftermath of a high school party nightmare. Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions? Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her? Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to. *different summary inside* "Perfect amount of tragedy, humor, and romance!" -Sparkles530 "I feel like I learned a lot from your story, thank you." - 980Sarah "This book is beautifully written.
