A single father living in a rundown complex with his nine-year-old son, Maizen, he's desperate to give his boy a better life - even if it means doing things he never imagined. When Jordan Crawford, the wealthy older brother of Asa's best friend, comes back to town, sparks fly - but not the friendly kind. Asa can't stand Jordan's cold, self-assured attitude, and Jordan's own walls make him dislike everyone around him. But when desperation meets opportunity, an unexpected arrangement could be the solution to both their problems... if they can survive each other long enough to make it work.

Self-absorbed college student Bryden Stalling believes he's the most popular person at his school. Handsome, flirty, charming... and the campus player who has dated far too many girls. In reality, however, no one can stand him---and everyone hates his guts. After his girlfriend dumps him, he finds an ancient Chinese ring on the sidewalk that holds a genie inside! Bryden is excited at first, eager to use his three wishes. However, the genie refuses to grant him any wishes! He claims that Bryden is too selfish and narcissistic, and must earn his wishes. And in order to earn his wishes, he must change his ways. Frustrated, Bryden begrudgingly tries to become a better person in order for the genie to grant him his three wishes. As the pair spends more time together, the genie lets his guard down and opens up about his dark past. Meanwhile, other forces are looking for Bryden's ring... and they may be connected to the genie's past. *Updates every Saturday at 2pm EST

After a flagrant display of cosmic irreverence, Elizabeth Evans is left adrift. With no place to call home. No plan for the future. Only a useless college degree, lingering substance abuse issues, and a penchant for burnout. When a childhood friend offers her a chance to start fresh in the sleepless city, Ellie does what any hopeless soul with nothing left to lose would do; she takes it and doesn't look back. Life in New York City is more complicated than this small town girl could have ever imagined. And it would seem the gods have a few more tricks left up their sleeves. Ellie finds herself torn between two worlds. Between her growing feelings for two enigmatic men. Between her wanton desires and lifelong ambitions to finally make something of her sad, little life. The scales must be weighed. Between lust or power. Between desire or reason. Between getting what she wants or doing what's expected of her. She must also ask if those are really the only options. What if she wants more? What if she wants it all? And what is she willing to do to get it? To find out, Ellie must confront not only her past, but the deepest parts of herself. Neither the universe, the city, nor these two annoyingly handsome men are going to make it easy. And only two things are certain; the gods certainly have a sense of humor and the heart wants what it wants. (A New Romantics Novel: Book One)

Ever since she was a child, Melody has dreamed of following in her famous mother's footsteps and becoming a singer. But there's one problem-her voice. Convinced she doesn't have what it takes, Melody starts to lose faith in her dream. Everything changes when she crosses paths with people from a completely different world than her own. Through new friendships, raw talent, and a fresh take on music, Melody begins to discover that maybe her voice isn't the problem-it's how she's been taught to hear it. A/N: I've been inspired by a Tumblr post from years ago. If there's similarities with other stories, that's may be why.
