Four years ago, a 13-year-old blackmailed me into friendship by holding my doughnut captive. We've been close ever since. I soon noticed that I wanted to be more than just friends. I was in love with my best friend. But sadly, he didn't feel the same way. I thought my world was over. I was crushed. But to my utmost yet most delighted surprise, I just happened to fall into the arms of a certain bad boy. Literally. He didn't just save me from what could've been a hell of a concussion that night. He saved my heart too. But hey, let's not get in over our heads now. It wasn't that easy. Not even close. After all, when two opposing worlds clash for the very first time, we can't just expect it to be all rainbows and sunshine. Now, do we?

But watching someone you love, fall in love with someone else, is harder... Serena was waiting for the moment that Liam would notice her.

Lin Yin was an unfortunate girl who lived in the slums for eighteen years because of mistaken identities at birth. Even though she was brought back to live with her real parents, there was no place for her amongst them. She was constantly bullied and scolded for no reason; her own biological parents would leave her in the dirt just because Su Fei shed a tear. Swindled, and betrayed the very person she fell in love with, she was finally going to escape her dark life when she realized that it was all a setup - that she was just a clown. She dragged her poisoned body as she tried to escape, but she was killed regardless at the loud crack of a gunshot. Her departed spirit watched as her biological parents coldly said, "She has never been our daughter. Burn her, throw her into the dirt - you can do whatever you like." As the guest left, a man stood sighing with sympathy. "Take her to a funeral home. Let's hope that in her next life, she can live for herself and not suffer so much grief." How laughable it was that she had lived for so long, but a stranger turned out to be the one who gave her a proper funeral! Soon, Lin Yin lost consciousness, and woke up to find that she had gone back in time, to the first year after she returned to the Su family! This time, she decided to live for herself without compromise! Still, just as she thought she would have to do this alone, she never imagined that she would be reunited with three brothers, although they never showed up in her last life! They were Mu Heng, the magnate, Mu Qing, the prodigious doctor, and Mu Ran, the heartthrob and movie star! In her last life, she gave her heart to the wrong people and suffered a tragic end, but in this life, her brothers were pampering her to death! Mu Heng: She's my sister! I'll protect her! Mu Qing: Who dares bully my sister! Mu Ran: She's my sister! I'll spoil her! Lu Ming: She's my wife! I'll watch over her! Mu Heng, Mu Qing, and Mu Ran: Get out! PS: For offline purposes

A gender-bent Pride & Prejudice retelling, told by a female Darcy. After months of struggling at work following her father's death, Dacia García needs a break. Or rather, she's forced into one by her boss after a public meltdown and subsequent panic attack in front of company shareholders. Despite having zero interest in returning to Texas, she has no one but her college friends Chastity and Christian Barrera to turn to, who are temporarily residing in San Antonio for the summer. Dacia's ideal vacation is reading the days away and sulking about her problems in peace, but when Chastity falls head over heels for Jane Galindo, Dacia is roped into hanging out with Jane's family and friends week after week. That includes Marcus Galindo, Jane's charming younger brother who wants nothing to do with Dacia after overhearing a snarky comment made about his future profession in elementary education. Marcus and Dacia butt heads over everything, but there's something about him that keeps drawing her back to him. As time passes and they keep running into each other, they start spending time alone together and even begin to like one another. But their tenuous relationship threatens to implode when someone from Dacia's past throws her character into question. Marcus knows Dacia is keeping something from him, and its stopping him from falling for her the way she's already fallen for him. Dacia will have to learn to trust Marcus with the darkest truths of her heart if she doesn't want to lose him forever. But even that might not be enough to keep them together.

It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong. Her first boyfriend and supposedly love of her life dumps her for someone else, her heart is broken and feels like it won't ever heal again and her best friend makes her join the most unnecessary club on earth to help her find new friends she most definitely does not need. Still. New chances are for new beginnings, right? Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life. Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.

Alexia Wyatt My life hasn't been easy; in fact, I have secrets that I have hidden for years. People take my attitude as shy or stuck up, but they don't know what is under the surface. I honestly don't care what people think of me. I am content with my solitary life, helping those who need it. I never planned to meet a man who could awaken the woman in me, and for sure never expected that man to be as cruel as the man I escaped from so many years ago. If this is what fate wants for me, I am not OK with it. Ty Lombardi Some people believe in fate. They claim our paths are pre-written and that somehow, we eventually will bump into the love of our lives. I don't believe in any of that crap. I can't accept that some powerful being wrote that I would fall in love with the perfect woman to lose her only two years later during a stupid accident. And I am even more against the idea that suddenly fate decided to give me a second chance with an instant family that I wasn't expecting. I refuse to accept my future is written in the stars, and I won't welcome this new opportunity for love. Find out what happens when the path of a warrior and the president of a famous MC collide.
