"So yeah, I crashed your 16th birthday party, and yeah, I punched Stan. He didn't deserve you. I'm not saying that I did, or do, or whatever, either, but he most definitely did not deserve you. And then after I had... pushed your head in the cake or whatever, Stan was saying that I most certainly had no chances with you and he was calling my bluff, and saying more things and I just... I did what I told him I would do. I beat the living shit out of him. I mean, I warned him and everything. But then I had left for vacation and when I came back I found out you guys broke up and that he transferred schools and then every other guy thought better of going after you because they saw that I had made an example out of Stan and-" "You... you're insane," I shook my head, shuffling a step back. "You have lost your mind." "He got inbetween me and what was mine," he shrugged his shoulders, as if that was any explanation at all. "But it's okay. Never again." ----- d i s c l a i m e r this story has been re-edited and republished. the events of this story , for those who have read it prior to august 2019 , have been slightly altered to make way for my improved and matured writing style. originally published : july 2015 newly published : august 2019 completed: january 2022 01st in #secretrelationship : April 2022

One step forward, two steps back. Try having your boyfriend break up with you and not even an hour later, you see that same ex all happy and giggly with your best friend. Understandably so, you would wish that you can go back in time to redo everything again. For Avery Barber, that wasn't just wishful thinking. When she woke up the next day, she found herself in the past. She hasn't even dated the guy who will eventually break her heart in the future. Now she has to relive each day with nothing but her memories and a whistle from her ex's best friend.

Sierra Lancaster has had an agonizingly mediocre life. She grew up in a happy home, made loyal friends, graduated college, and is now pursuing her dream of running her own bakery. Boring, right? A story like this wouldn't be one for the books. At least not until you bring a hot neighbour into the mix. A tall, brooding, shredded (like, wash your clothes on those abs shredded), and wildly successful sports agent. Interested yet? It gets better. Said neighbour isn't just a rando, but Sierra's childhood nemesis that made her formerly chubby days a living hell. Now we're talking, aren't we? Holden Rey has always been the golden boy. Holden...golden...you following? You'd think the bitchy universe would do its job and throw some karma his way but to no avail. Not only has he got it all, but he knows it too. He also still has it out for Sierra and resumes being a jack-ass of epic proportions (and his ass ain't his only epic proportion) as soon as he realizes who the new girl next door is. It's the same old story with these two except this time, there's unwilling attraction and sexual tension underneath all the hate. Is it just lust or does the bitchy universe actually have a plan? So maybe this story is one for the books after all. *A hilarious, enemies-to-lovers, romantic standalone. Rated 18+ due to mature content. All rights reserved to TheFeveredBookaholic.*

After having her heart broken by the boy she'd been in love with her whole life, Brimmy Somell decides to take a little...vacation. Little does she know, it turns out to be much more permanent than she had originally thought. After meeting tall, sexy, and mysterious Marcello Pietro, Brimmy finds herself having to make a life-changing decision and putting herself in a dangerous position she'd never imagined to be in. °•°●°•°●°•°●°•° "I love you." He says with no hesitation. It takes a moment for my hazy mind to catch up. I'm still in a daze, mesmerized by his perfections, and the deep dimple set in his cheek. I blink, "What?" "Don't make me say it again." He says, sounding frustrated, but I catch the hint of embarassment in his voice as he runs his hand through his hair and takes a step back. I grab a hold of the neckline to his shirt and yank him back within close proximity of me. "What if I want you to say it again?" I ask, studying his eyes. "Isn't it enough that I said it once?" He scowls, trying to pull back, but I restrain him from doing so. "Nope. Just say it one more time and I'll be satisfied." I state bravely, feeling a boost of confidence I didn't have earlier. He glances down, then looks back up into my eyes, allowing me to spot the vulnerability and uncertainty he feels. "I love you." He says, putting more strength in his voice than he looks to have. I grin, pulling him in for a kiss, but right before I do, I say the one phrase that will seal my fate, "I love you too, big, bad mafia boss." ••••• The story may be rough but the comment section makes up for it. ••••• Word count: 51,173 ••••• Written and published 2018-2019
