Mia Collins just wanted to get through her senior year of high school with as minimal awkward situations as possible. However, that's kind of hard to do when you have a narcissistic arch-nemesis who's hell-bent on ruining your life. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he seemed to take an immediate dislike. After all, it only took a measly few hours of knowing her for him to kick a soccer ball right at her unsuspecting 11-year-old face. Though they did not know it then, this iconic moment would mark the beginning of what felt like a lifelong feud. Six years later and their mutual hatred for one another is still very much alive and kicking. She despised him, and he despised her and that's the way it always would be. But what happens when sparks fly, and stomachs flutter? Will someone break the eternal feud?

Anna and Luke seem to gravitate to each other even when they don't want to. What starts as typical high school drama from a bully named Christy, parties, and feelings unsaid; soon twists into something more devastating. What Anna hasn't told anyone is that she has been getting anonymous notes from someone. What started off as harmless soon transforms into something Anna would never have imagined. Through all the ups and downs can love win?

Intro I needed to forget, I needed to feel wanted, at least just for that night and I did. He was young and handsome with muscles so defined his massive biceps bulged from the seams of his shirt. It was a night of pure pleasure with no names exchanged while I held nothing back letting myself enjoy him as he handled me roughly with skill. When morning came I left without a trace thinking I would never see him again but to my surprise I couldn't have been more wrong. ..... "Mom this is my friend Jayce," Tyler my son announced entering through the front door. I turned a pale sheet of white when I saw who came walking up behind him. Oh god what did I do?! I looked down at the floor waiting to see it crack because I was sure any second it was going to break open and suck me down to hell for what I had just done. Heartbroken looking for a way to escape, Mia has a one night stand with a stranger to take away the pain if only temporarily but what happens when that one night stand (and the best sex of her life) ends up being her son's new best friend? A/N The characters in this story are all adults over the age of 20. This is not some Mrs. Robinson type of story where an older woman seduces a teenager. FYI : This is my first finished story and not one of my greatest. I just republished it and it has a lot of old notes from when it was first published so please ignore those.

Fleck was never going to be the gorgeous, tall blonde that everyone wanted to date. It was her lot in life to be a little over 5 feet tall and curvy, almost to the extreme. Most days that didn't bother her, in her 25 years she had become comfortable with her body and knowing herself. She didn't lack for friends, even if they weren't attracted to her they were certainly attracted to her father's money and connections. Took a few mistakes to figure out how to read those that were actual true friends and those that were like "crabs in a bucket" and were cut off fast. Of course what was before Grayden came into the picture. He was new to the city and her father's company as a security consultant, her father had told her it was just routine but when he assigned Grayden as her own personal bodyguard she starts to wonder if there is something more going on. Grayden has warned her he is strictly there to do a job so the attraction she feels for him, she should ignore. Of course he didn't feel it back, the ones that she wanted never did, or did he... as he watches her a little to closely, holds her a little more tightly than he needs to as he protects her from harm.
