She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes

"She's hot." "Yeah, I know. I'm kinda jealous..." "I'm gonna ask her out." "Are you crazy? You're asking for a death wish." "What's so wrong with me asking her out?" "Everything! You just can't."

She had good grades, was the kindest person you'd ever meet, and was breathtakingly beautiful. Everyone in ClearHills Academy loved her. But, there were also some who feared and despised her. Some people hated Mia because she was known as 'little miss perfect' and because she was claimed by the one who practically owned everything.

Ace King was someone not to mess with. His father owns a powerful company that he would soon take over. He was what parents told their kids not become. He was the bad boy of ClearHills Academy. Ever since Ace first laid eyes on her as kids, she was what he wanted most. Mia was the only person who he'd drop on his knees and bow down to, she was the only person he cared not to be feared by. She was the only who could tame him. - "What is it dear? Do you want something else?" his mother asked, looking down to see his attention focused on something. Or rather, someone. "Her," he said, pointing at a girl, sitting on a small wooden stool with a book in her hands. "I want her." - ❝Everyone knows she belongs to him.❞ - WARNING [ contains mature language ] Highest Ranking #1 - 01/27/18 | Billionaire #1 - 02/01/18 | Romance STARTED on November 7, 2017

Highest ranking in Teen Fiction #78 Highest ranking in justwriteit #3 • His hot breath touched the dip of my shoulder, and I found myself tilting my head away slightly to give his lips more access as they barely grazed my neck. It was like the touch of a hair, quick and barely noticeable, but I was hyper aware of everywhere he touched. I'd always been. "I need you." ••••• Skye Valkyrie has a secret. During the school hours, she stays hidden; good grades, never gets in trouble, casual clothing, the usual. No one noticed her, and that's the way she wanted to keep it. After school was an entirely different story. Any time she was out of that dreaded building, she wore leather jackets, harbored secrets, started fights, vandalized, pulled pranks, attended parties, you name it. She'd kept her extra activities well hidden, until a few guys from school happened to stumble into one of her schemes. Cyrus, Tyler, and Jay decide to strike a deal with Skye. During school, nothing changes. They're the same to her and anyone else they come across, and she's still the same girl that no one notices. After school, that's another story. There's one fault in this plan, and it's name is Ryder Williams. With a burning hatred for Skye and anything that relates to her name, the four will have no choice but to keep their acquaintance a secret. So, what happens when he finds out and his feelings for the loner start to change? ••••• "I'm only on the second chapter and I'm already in love with it" - k_dramalover "Reading the end of it my heart started hurting and my eyes watering.... you're doing a really good job of this story" - missg26 " :*) SO HEARTWARMING IT WILL WILL PROB MAKE A GROWN MAN CRY.
