My whole life is 'have to.' I have to work full-time to pay the bills and keep food on the table. I have to finish college for a chance at a better job, no matter how long it takes. I have to manage my mom's sobriety so I can keep her out of jail. I have to keep a smile on my face, so no one knows how hard it's been. Now, I have to ignore the curious feelings that flutter in my chest whenever my devastatingly handsome new English professor, Fitzwilliam Benedict, is nearby. Of course, that's kind of impossible because I have to face his storm-tossed eyes and broad shoulders in class every other evening if I want to graduate with my perfect grade-point intact. And it's getting harder to ignore the way his thoughtful gaze sees all the way down to the truth I don't want anyone to know. Our kismet connection is a major complication that could torpedo everything I've worked for...Or this could be the most valuable lesson, ever. 📚🎓 Just a heads up that this isn't fully edited (yet), so you may notice typos or spelling errors! I'm doing my bets (I hope at least some of you got that joke!!) to correct as I go...but you know how it goes, when you get on a roll you sometimes miss things 🙃

Cruel. Vicious. Malicious. Dangerous. Heartless. That is what they described him as, and he was nothing less than that. He was the alpha king, and god help the ones who angered him. He believed he would never get a mate.. But fate had other plans. And when he laid his eyes on her, he knew.. She was all that he ever wanted. --------- Amora is a kind, sweet and innocent woman with the heart and appearance of an angel. Perhaps she would be his light.. If only she didn't want to run every time she saw him. But a king never gives up. And an additional downside..she's human. --------- 'I SAID HAND HER TO ME!' I started shuddering with fear as well as because of the cold. The man slowly pulled me from behind his back and I cried harder as I looked at the ground, holding myself to calm myself down. Kane slowly took two steps towards me, his tall height towering over me, I only reached his mid-chest.. He slowly caressed me softly into a warm hug..before his grip completely tightened..to the point it slightly hurt. He pulled away suddenly, grabbed my jaw and made me look into his face. He looked psycho.. Like he had gone crazy..combined with so much anger. He had such a dark angered expression on his face I sobbed more looking into his eyes. 'If you ever try to leave me again. I will kill him. And that's a promise.' He said holding the gun at the man in front of his head.

Is it fair to let a mistake define a person? .......... "Miss...?" he assessed my face with his calculative eyes, waiting for me to tell him my surname. The file was in front of him but he didn't bother to look into it. He wanted to hear it from my mouth, as if he wanted me to feel the guilt reverberating through each cell of my body. "Clara." I said, lowering my head so that I won't have to look into his eyes. "Clara Vincent?" he asked in a serious tone, his piercing gaze boring hole in my forehead. "Avery. Clara Avery!" I said, my voice thickened with guilt and embarassment. .......... Just when Clara Avery thought she was able to left her past behind, destiny brings her back to the place from where she started. Six years after she broke Aaron Vincent's heart, she is forced to work with him but after what she did to him, would she ever be able to look into his eyes? #1 in Young Adult (4/9/2019) #14 in Romance (20/1/2019)
