May Fredericks hates New York. Which is fair enough, since New York seems to hate her back. Just weeks after moving from Wisconsin to Manhattan, she receives the world's worst marriage proposal, stabs her boyfriend with a shrimp fork in a very public venue, and accidentally becomes notorious. And that’s before she gets mugged. At her wit's end, May washes up at a Packers bar in Greenwich Village, where she meets a surly, unhelpful guy who hates her shoes and calls her ex a douche. His name is Ben. He used to be a chef. Now he's a rooftop beekeeper with anger management issues. She wouldn't even like him, but he reminds her of home … and he knows where to find all the best food in the Village. She makes him laugh. He buys her tacos and cowboy boots. The longer they’re stuck together, the better May and Ben get along … and the harder they fall. TRULY is a quirky, modern New York love story unlike any you've read before. ********* About the Serialization TRULY, the first novel in Ruthie Knox’s forthcoming New York Series, will be serialized in its entirety on Wattpad.

He closed his eyes again and tried to remember. There had been a fight. Alice was there. She had been naked, screaming and hitting him. He remembered entering the house. He was holding his shotgun. He had wanted to teach them both a lesson. Before that, he could remember sitting in his shed, watching them through the half pulled curtains as he eased his pain with whisky, seeing them as they laughed together and crying as he saw them kiss.

It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE! With a bestselling book by WWBG, a captivating Webcomic on Webtoon, and a film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios, you can read, scroll, or watch - there's an experience for everyone to dive into Waverly and Blake's journey. ***** In order to fit in during her summer visit to a beachside town, Waverly must take swimming lessons from Blake, the moody (but gorgeous) lifeguard next door. ***** Seventeen-year-old Waverly Lyons is from Alaska. She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

Frat King Carter Hopkins is a master in the art of objectifying women. In his time at Scottsden University, he’s developed a fool-proof rating system to figure out who's worth his time, and who's not. And Violet Gables, an awkward and seemingly plain freshman, comes up short as only a six and half out of ten—and is therefore not on Carter's radar. But when Violet saves a drunken Carter Hopkins from losing his soccer scholarship at a frat party, Carter feels he’s in her debt and wants to repay her somehow. He decides to grace her with the ultimate weapon--the secrets on how to make any guy find her attractive. Carter unveils the logic of his rating system, with a guarantee that though Violet may look like a 6 ½, by the time he’s through with her, any guy will rate her as a 10. As obnoxious as Carter may be, Violet plays his game just so she can prove him wrong in the end. But what happens if Carter's plan starts to succeed, and guys begin treating Violet like the 10 she's secretly long to be. And what if Carter starts to develop feelings for his project, but now she's out of his league? After all, love is just a numbers game, and the highest score always wins. Please follow/comment/vote! Chapter One out now, and story is to be updated weekly with a new chapter every Monday starting July 15. Copyright ®2013 by VivianClare. Includes title, synopsis, and all included content.
