"I didn't ask to be in the middle of your ego-battle," I grumble. Blake pins me to my locker, hands resting on either side of my head. "Well, you got it in anyway, Darling," he whispers. His face is inches away from mine and damn me for licking my lips. I am NOT falling for these guys. And then, at the corner of my eye I spot Owen and his gang approaching. Well, that's just great. *** The West and East gang of Tygerwell have been at each other's throats since the dawn of time. And the two leaders of these gangs want to end the fight, once and for all. But fighting with fists is easy. Fighting with wit and charm, is a whole other ball game. Blake. West-side gang leader. Leather jacket and killer glare. Don't talk back. Owen. East-side gang leader. Fancy coat and toxic stare. Don't resist. And in comes Amber. Hair of gold and oceans in her eyes. Has too much sass for her own good and always, ALWAYS, manages to get into the middle of trouble. But these boys have no idea who they're really dealing with. And when Amber descovers she knows a little too much when it comes to guns and fighting, she has to question everything she thought she knew about herself. Three can play this game. *** "Let's settle this. You got rejected, I got rejected. It's only fair that the fate of the gangs be on who gets the girl first." "That sounds rather good, Rhodes. I'll take that bet on the golden girl." *** COMPLETED FICTION AWARDS: Best new story and best new account Highest ranking in Teen Fiction: #1 on 25/06/2018

UNEDITED WATTPAD VERSION! (This is the arguably rubbish version, ye be warned.) Includes a sample of the published version as well *** Life would be so much easier if he wasn't around, but even I couldn't deny that my life seemed to truly begin since his arrival. Had Lucifer truly been kicked out of heaven because of his own cravings for power, or had he fled after realizing his true happiness lied elsewhere, in a darker atmosphere? In this world, there is strictly no good or bad, no clear right or wrong. We make poor decisions, hoping it will prove worthy in the end. When it does, we never look back, but when it doesn't, it tears us apart like ravaged hell hounds. Perhaps we're all the product of Lucifer and God alike. Born from beauty only to fall to desire. *** When young baker Rosaria Castellanos is offered a chance to pay her parent's debts to the infamous Romano mafia family by a simple favor, she takes it in a heartbeat. Everyone expected a happy italian wedding, with too much wine to handle and lots of singing. Cater pastries, and don't die? Sounds easy enough. Nobody expected her to catch the eye of the young boss, Giovanni Romano, nicknamed 'The King of New York' for good reason. Unknowingly bound to the mafia by birthright, introduced by a dangerous love, Rosaria's identity will soon be forged. An unlikely heroine, imperfect and anxious, must grow through struggles and gang violence to save those around her. In even the darkest of places, love can bloom. Perhaps even in the mafia. - Side note: Warning: mature sexual scenes, swearing, violence ✨Milestones ✨ Featured on Wattpad's Dangerouslove profile #3 in Thrill -9/7/20 #32 in Mature -9/7/20 #42 in Mafia -3/10/20 #45 in Love -9/7/20 ~ Dates ~ WP Start: October 19th 2019 Finished: December 1st 2020 Published: February 14th 2021

When standing high on relevé, not even gravity can pull Brie down. Coming from humble beginnings, in order to dance Brie spends long hours in the dance studio which she affords by spending longer hours at the counter. Taking her place at the front of the bar smelling like pizza sauce and oregano she leaves little time in her life for anything else other than dance and work. One night when Lazaro Santoro, son to one of the richest families in the city, stops by for a slice of pizza after a championship fight he can't help but connect with BriE. With so much in common they seem meant to be. But, coming from two different worlds, they quickly wonder if their relationship can handle the prejudice money can inflict. * I place my frail dainty hand into his, "So, what kind of trouble did you get into that left you looking like that?" I ask gesturing to his face. "No, no trouble. My old lady would kill me. I'm a boxer. My pops trains me and lets just say" he waves a hand over his face, "My defense could use some work." "Well congrats on your win." I say tipping my imaginary hat in reference to his fathers earlier words. "Thanks." he says while sliding a slice of pizza out of the pie and onto his plate. He stuff his mouth entirely before deciding to ask my a question, "What's a beautiful girl like you doing in a place like this so late?" I hardly make out his question through his full mouth. I can't help but giggle slightly as he realizes what a slob he's being and tries to half heartedly cover his mouth. I hand him a few napkins so he can clean up, "A girl needs money, you know."

In a city filled with corrupt government systems and underlying threats, Grace Summerland can’t accept the fact that the mysterious ‘Night Vigilante’ is as bad as everyone makes him out to be, not when he has the same eyes as the boy who saved her ten years ago. All of Grace’s life has been made up of lies, ranging from her father’s disappearance to the night she almost died, and Grace is all too willing to risk it all in an attempt to finally know the truth. Agreeing to betray the son of the most powerful man in Citadel, Grace doesn’t even know half of what she is getting herself into with all the secrecy surrounding her family and her connection to the Vigilante and Citadel. The only things she knows for sure after walking home to find the notorious Night Vigilante bleeding and asking for her help, is that it’s going to take more than a few stiches to get this town “Villain” back on his feet- Especially since she seems to be the one doing all the falling. ~*~ Cole Waters is the Night Vigilante. Adopted into an elite faction called the Vigilantes, Cole embraces the idea of selfless bravery, and courage found in humility. What he finds though is that it’s a lot harder to be selfless when he can’t seem to leave the mysterious girl he saved years ago. Careening faster into the web of Citadel corruption, Vigilante deception and the fierce desire for a girl he can never have, Cole finds himself being deemed as the “Villain” of the city when all he wants to do is help. Being good was never easy to begin with, but being a ‘hero’ has never seemed to be as impossible as it has been until now- especially when falling in love with the girl means forsaking the selfless to embody the selfish. ~*~ Book soundtrack: http://8tracks.com/smarsbars157/the-night-vigilante Ranking: Action #86
