Wren Jacobs has always loved a good surprise. It could be a party, gift, or even just her favorite cup of coffee- nothing made her smile more than that. Until one surprise ruins them all. When she finds herself crying in a dingy supply closet and trying to figure out how to sneak out unnoticed, the last thing she wanted to do was come face to face with her boss. Niall Horan has seen a lot of things since he took over the ownership at Willow Lake, a prestigious golf course- In fact, he was pretty sure he had seen it all. That was before he found his employee tucked away during a party with tears running down her face. Before he knew it, he was standing in front of people he had never met with his hand laced with hers, acting as if he knew everything there was to know about her. A single night of pretending turns into an invitation that neither of them can turn down no matter how hard they try, giving no other option but to fake it until they make it. However it's no surprise when things start to get a little hazy, blurring the lines they've drawn and bending the rules in more ways than one. Niall and Wren manage to find themselves exactly where they told themselves they wouldn't. A place where pretending doesn't quite feel like pretending. At least not anymore.

He spent his days buried in his thick green coat, wandering the busy streets and quiet alleys of the foreign city.

His light had been extinguished." *** What happens when your heart is ripped out of your chest by the one you thought to be your forever? Harry escapes to Japan and finds companionship he never thought he needed. A story about healing after heartbreak. ***Written Jan - Feb 2020***

Everyone who works within the New York Warriors organization knows that star player August Fletcher refuses to talk to most people...and especially team reporters. All except Quinn Castle, that is. Quinn doesn't know why the broody football player has singled her out, but she knows she doesn't like it-not when being around him and his hot gazes makes her feel like she might accidentally do something that risks her career. So when August unexpectedly retires, Quinn can't help but feel relieved...until she finds herself with a new assignment: spend the summer in August's hometown on Evergreen Isle and write a flashy retirement piece on the Warrior's biggest star. It would be easy enough...if it weren't for the team's secret agenda: convince August to return to New York. It would be easy enough...if it weren't her job on the line if she doesn't see it through. It would be easy enough...if it weren't for the heat in August Fletcher's eyes.

The city's best hitman and a precious little flower meet at Le papillon blue, New York's most notorious strip club. An angel on his shoulder that hes going to drag down to hell with him, what could go wrong? // I stood there, watching her. I was entranced; a lucid dream maybe. My blood seemed to heat every time she moved her body around that pole. I was stuck in some sort of lustful trance, unable to look anywhere but her, I didn't want to look anywhere but her. Every single move around that pole, every curve of her body, her waist, her hips, her neck; all seemed to provoke me, pull me deeper and deeper into that rabbit hole that I found myself not wanting to escape from. I was watching her, I was seeing proof, that she could go through hell, and still be an angel. *** Start date - August 10 2021 *** #1 in Harry #1 in dark #1 in Harrystyles #1 in Niallhoran #1 in ZaynMalik #1 in LouisTomlinson #1 in LiamPayne
