Paris - The distance between Cuba and London. London has always been the odd one out of the family. Granted she has her parent's smarts, she's just always chosen to do things differently to her family, but they love her all the more for standing up for what she believes in. A trip to Europe for one sends her on an adventure she didn't expect, but one she wouldn't trade for anything. In Paris, she meets a dying old man who she agrees to take care of for his last days as he is a dear friend of her fathers. She comes to care greatly for him, and is saddened when he dies. She had no idea that that is when she would truly begin to live. Cuba is a wreck of a man whose irresponsible ways threaten the legacy of the Diaz name. His grandfather has tried to speak to him, but he just won't listen, so when he gets taken care of a kind and spirited young woman, he knows what he must do. He calls upon Cuba to immediately come and see him in Paris. On her last night out in Paris, her last destination before heading back home, London does what the old man told her to do and lives it up to the fullest, including a one night stand. Having missed his grandfather's funeral, Cuba heads out into the Paris streets to drown the sorrows of losing his grandfather and ends up having a one night stand with a beautiful woman. The last thing she expected was to see him at her doorstep three months later. The last thing he expected was to find out that he has to marry his pregnant one night stand to gain his inheritance. *** This is an interracial love story largely based in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Take a self-conscious slightly chubby female and throw in a cocky man who probably stepped right off the front cover of a magazine, and throw them together to plan a wedding. Things weren't going to be smooth as the icing on the cake. Throw in a stray cat, a potential boyfriend, her ex, a crazy bat shit mother, a pizza delivery, a secret from the past and numerous accidents, these might just be enough for Violet to realise that weight didn't weigh that much when it came to love.

Preparing to face losing her one bedroom apartment and beat up Chevy, she decides to drown her sorrows away at a bar where her closest friend Kenny works. Having had enough, she leaves the bar to head to the place she'd come to call home for two years, until something catches her eye. Just a few feet from her, she spots a handsome man leaving his expensive car, but that's not what catches her attention. Instead, her eyes are trained on the car across the road with the man aiming a gun at the handsome man. While the shooter angles his shot, adrenaline courses through her veins, and before she knows it, she's running towards the handsome man. Tackling him to the ground, she barely registers the pain that engulfs her in a matter of seconds as the black spots dance about her vision. She barely hears the man whose life she just saved curse to himself before she is rolled over. Her sharp intake of breath is mistaken for pain by him, but instead she couldn't believe that someone's eyes could look so captivating, even with the lack of light. "Stay with me Diamond," he whispered. The last thing she thought was how he knew her name before succumbing to the darkness.

Rose Kidman is what people refer to as nice, naive, too kind, too trusting and basically a doormat, but she finds nothing wrong with that. Of course it doesn't help to have people constantly telling her that she's going to end up in trouble because of these traits, but she still chooses to be who she is. After doing something even she knows was a colossal mistake, she decides that perhaps it's time to leave behind her life in Denver. An opportunity meets her on a flight and before she knows it, she's established a life in San Francisco. She loves teaching children, but she never saw home school teaching as an option, until she meets Grace Black.

**** This is the sequel to Arranged, so please read that one first to get a gist of the characters and their lives involved in this one **** It was not like either of the two loved someone else, but the fact was, Ted Sloane and Amelia Skyer had not liked each other. To her, he was obnoxious and rude, while to him, she was boring and annoying. But their families had liked each other and before they knew it, they had exchanged the wedding vows and been tied in a knot neither desired. Robbed of their opinions, to survive for as long as they could, they laid down three abiding laws for their marriage: 1. No Talking. 2. No Touching. 3. Equal participation in pretending in front of each other's parents, aka: No Backstabbing. And thus, began a tale of endless vain attempts to steer clear of the other's way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Highest Rank: #23 in #generation - 12/05/2019 #46 in General Fiction - 25/10/2016

In a fictional world of Russia and magic, a young woman is captured by an immortal god. Marya is the last koldunya, a powerful sorceress lineage that was decimated by the hatred in her land towards magic. With most of her family killed in the mage purges, she is raised by her uncle, Aloysius, away from civilisation. Aloysius is cruel and bitter, and wishes one day for Marya to deal justice to those that took away their heritage. Over the years, Marya's only friend is beautiful Vasilisa, whom she created by transforming one of the swans at the lake by her home. One summer, a prince comes riding through the woods. Siegfried is the son of Marya's enemy king, the man who ordered her, and her family, killed. When the trio strike up an unlikely friendship, their worlds begin to crumble. When Siegfried tries to find out the truth about Marya and Vasilisa, he unleashes an immortal god named Koschei, who has been imprisoned for over ten years.
