A young Darius knew he had a crush on his neighbour Bianca, the day he moved across the street. One summer night, after he graduated from High School and she from University, an impromptu basketball game sparked a connection between them. With Darius moving away for school, and Bianca's corporate job in the city, their friendship thinned out until a series of events put them both in moments of vulnerability and reignited the childhood crush. But Darius waited too long to tell Bianca how he feels, and now she is about to take the next step with her boyfriend. Follow Darius and Bianca as they weave through life's unexpected turns. Will they be honest with each other? With themselves? This is a story about falling in love and trusting the timing of your life. --- Excerpt: Bianca ordered one scoop of Mint Chip and Darius ordered two scoops of Birthday Cake. "Really? Are you five years old?" Bianca teased. "Don't knock it until you try it," Darius challenged with a smirk. The butterflies in Bianca's stomach had not settled and his playfulness wasn't helping. Between the guilt of lying to Jeremy and trying to find out what Elena was referring to a couple days ago about Darius' behaviour, her anxiety was agonizing. The only thing she was certain about was that she wanted to be there. The butterflies were more than just nerves. She was crushing. --- Copyright 2018.

"Ridge." He suddenly said. "Huh?" I looked at him. "Ridge Hernandez. Don't call me sir." ____________________________________ Eiffel never asked to be a fighter - but when her grandfather vanishes without a trace, she's left running his café by day and plotting revenge by night. Justice is what she tells herself she wants. But her heart screams for something darker. Ridge Hernandez doesn't believe in feelings. They make you weak. And weakness gets you killed. But when he crosses paths with Eiffel during a deadly run-in with a notorious ringleader's men, he can't walk away. Not when she's the only one holding the key to taking his enemy down. Now bullets fly, fists land, and secrets bleed out. Eiffel and Ridge are bound together by danger, but with every heartbeat they're drawn closer to something far more reckless. Because in a world where trust is a death sentence- falling for each other might be the biggest mistake of all. ____________________________________ What the readers have to say? I really heart this! ~ChampieN Oh my goodness, I'm crushed :( this book is so amazing! Ridge is awesome;) __03__B___ That's some National Treasure stuff right there, nice!! ~elle_maxwell #2 - ADULT READS (25.O5.2019) 【 CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING 】

(Slow updates) Emerson: I opened the first letter today. It was marked simply with my name and the number nineteen in the upper right hand corner. My birthdays not until next week, but I couldn't wait. She assumed I'd be finishing my sophomore year at Columbia. She told me she hoped I'd made some amazing friends this year and that my relationship with Jake was still going strong. She hoped the girls and dad were doing ok and thanked God that at least Annie could cook. Her letter was like a knife in my heart, because I'm not doing any of those things now. Now I'm an (Ivey League) college dropout, working two jobs and raising my tween sisters. Oh, and I met someone, but he's a total asshole. Her last words keep playing in my head. "I promise Em, you'll be fine without me." My mother was never a liar... until after she died. Wesley: I met a gorgeous girl at a bar, then took another one home and... well you know. The only problem is, I have to see that gorgeous girl everyday now. She's a sassy, beautiful pain in my ass, but she's also sad. I can see it because I am too. I'm wealthy, amazing in the sack and even better looking. Just don't get too close to this glass house or you'll see fractures so deep, the whole things bound to go down. The problem is, no matter how hard I try to drink or fuck it away, I think she's starting to see it... and I'd rather be an asshole than have anyone's sympathy. ********** © 2018/2019 Breanna Curtis

❤️🔥⚠️Praise for TEMPTING EVE "I am honestly OBSESSED with this story." "...it's just so good. It's probably one of the best Wattpad books I have read to date. Which is saying a lot. It's something I would go into the store and definitely want to buy." "Oh my the tension! God! I can't get enough of your book!" ***** EXCERPT FROM TEMPTING EVE:❤️ "I've never," my voice wavered. "I mean, it's my first..." He nodded, his nose almost brushing against mine. "Then let's make it good." I was about to pull away when he put his teeth on my lower lip and squeezed. Not tight enough to hurt, but enough for my virgin mouth to gasp, parting my lips and allowing his tongue to slip inside. His tongue stroked mine as he pulled me more firmly into his body, his tall frame curled around me. Something hard pressed into my stomach, and both of our breathing became faster, shallower, as if the oxygen in our tiny sphere of warmth was fading. He slowed the kiss and without thinking I licked his lips, begging for more. He laughed, deep and husky, resting his forehead against mine. "Happy New Years," he whispered. Then he shrugged his jacket off, put it around my trembling shoulders and walked away.

Warning: Mature Content. Outside, it was cold and breezy, with those familiar night stars that twinkled above us years ago. We walked side by side along the little path that ran across the gigantic grassy park at the center of campus. I held my breath every time my swinging hand brushed his, hoping to feel his warm palm in mine again. I just wanted more with him, but I knew it was wishful thinking. So I buried it. I buried it with the silence and the distant looks. I desperately wanted us to go back to being friends, before all the feelings showed up, before he embarrassed me in front of half the school by dismissing any chance at us being together. ~o~ Evelyn Martinez has had her heart broken exactly once, by Liam Saunders. But that was over a year ago, so it shouldn't bother her when she sees him with his best friend, Mason Van der Gelt, in the busy dining hall on her university...right? Her best friend, Harper Green, decides to take the situation into her own hands by fulfilling the promise she had given Evelyn the year before, that if she ever met him, she'd break his heart. An eye for an eye. Operation Dickbag's Heartbreak. Yet, as the plan proceeds, Evelyn starts to date Mason, almost falling for his charm and sincerity. Almost. Her heart was still Liam's, no matter how damaged it may be. This proves to be a problem when Harper falls for him as well. Everything changes when Liam reveals his own feelings and the truth behind why he hurt Ev. Commitments and loyalty become a house of cards in a hurricane as truths start to spill, leaving their chances at happiness to hang by a thread. Fair warning, there are detailed sex scenes and a shit ton of cursing.

When you take too long to decide where you live your second year at university, you get stuck with what is left and may get some unwanted surprise, I learned that the hard way. When you think about it, being the only girl living with three boys would be the dream... Well, not when you are stuck with the cockiest and disrespectful man ever, Luke Bailey. His only quality is that he's friends with my ex-crush, which I'm not really sure is a good thing. A story filled with drama, surprising friendships, and romance Alexis had given up all hopes on. Keep in mind it's the first draft. I'll go over it again once I'm done. Enjoy your reading and don't forget to give feedback. Updating on April 17, due to my exams! Love you

***THIS STORY WILL BECOME FREE ON JULY15th!*** Beverly Curie only lives for herself (and maybe ice cream). When her three nieces are suddenly put under her care, she must do the impossible: think about someone other than herself. Beverly is the only member of her family left in Chestnut Ridge, where she's kept the same routine for eight years: do as little work as possible during the day, marathon sitcoms in the evening, and try (for the life of her) to get everyone to leave her alone. When she loses her position at Red Ribbon's Craft Store, Beverly is left without a job and without a paycheck. Then her estranged sister, Aimee, calls with an impossible favor: Could Beverly take care of her three nieces for six months? It's insane. But then there's the thirty thousand dollars that Aimee offers to pay and Beverly can't resist. Suddenly, she's stuck taking care of three little girls, trying not to kill the soccer moms at the snobby Percival Academy, and joining the PTO. Now Beverly--self-serving, sarcastic, and problematic--must take on the role of a loving parent. And she is anything but.

September 20th, 2024. I'm the last one to arrive at our apartment in Paris which means I'll get what ever room is not taken, It's ok, because I'm excited to be here studying. I introduce myself to my roommates and they seem alright. They knew each other from before and are already clicky. I go to unpack my suitcase and settle in, when the sun came beaming into my room, something shiny is reflecting into my eyes from my closet. Not being able to reach it , I pull my chair over. A small sparkly box with an angel printed on the outside and a picture of a boy and a girl with a letter, dated May 20th, 2019 "Today was a good day, you remembered something, little steps forward"....xoxo Jade

Neon light is a story of the true statement, don't judge a book by its cover. Millie wasn't looking for romance after the death of her father created a whole in her heart that seemed like it would always remain. Enzo didn't think he was ready to be back on the market after big life changes took place three years ago causing his life to no longer be his own. Will their hearts be willing to open up again or will past trauma and heartache break any chance for love to blossom. Millie isn't just a broken shell of a girl and Enzo isn't just the guy behind the bar. Read as sparks fly and connections are made under the neon light of the bar downtown.
