Adaline Wolk is very easy to get along with. She's kind, funny, goofy... maybe a little awkward here and there. She's got a heart bigger than her body. Once she warms up to someone, she'll talk like they're buddies. But since she's been teased by her fellow classmates, she's very selective about who she actually befriends. Adaline will be kind to anybody, no matter who they are or what they do. Even if they're in the form of the six-foot tall jerk named Nemo Kademan. Nemo Kademan is known to be a bit... rude. Still, everyone likes and adores him. And only he knows the real reason as to why he acts the way he does, and says the things he says. His friends aren't the best influence either. Nemo has been stuck in this negative mindset for so long that he's losing himself. Until he meets Adaline and finds out she isn't all that bad, and ultimately... finds himself.

Everyone who works within the New York Warriors organization knows that star player August Fletcher refuses to talk to most people...and especially team reporters. All except Quinn Castle, that is. Quinn doesn't know why the broody football player has singled her out, but she knows she doesn't like it-not when being around him and his hot gazes makes her feel like she might accidentally do something that risks her career. So when August unexpectedly retires, Quinn can't help but feel relieved...until she finds herself with a new assignment: spend the summer in August's hometown on Evergreen Isle and write a flashy retirement piece on the Warrior's biggest star. It would be easy enough...if it weren't for the team's secret agenda: convince August to return to New York. It would be easy enough...if it weren't her job on the line if she doesn't see it through. It would be easy enough...if it weren't for the heat in August Fletcher's eyes.

As an aspiring journalist, Presley didn't believe in love-or lasting romantic relationships of any kind. The last thing she needed in her whirlwind of life was to get involved with her best's friends bodyguard-or rather the head of the Cosa Nostra.

A beautiful monster dressed in leather jackets, and tight fitting shirts. A made man. Silvio had ever met a woman like her, who spent every minute glaring at him. One who he was consumed to touch despite his dislike for touch. A stubborn femme fatale with soft brown eyes and obsidian curls. A woman he'd been trying to resist for a long time. When a threat from her past lands her into the very arms of her nemesis and into a fake relationship, she's forced to get to know him and suddenly, their fake relationship feels more real than anything she had ever own. - preview - God, it felt right like this was where it belonged-this was where I belonged. And she felt it too, given by the slight rush of her breathing, and dazed eyes. There was always this magnetic pull and tug between us, so irresistible and consuming. "Silvio." She let out a small gasp, obviously not expecting me to touch her, and it burned. Everything right now burned but it felt good. Almost in an addicting way like the pain crossed the threshold and soared to become another feeling. "I don't think this is a good idea." "You want me to stop right now, say it but this is a damn good idea." I said in a gruff voice. "Tell me you don't want this, tell me it's a bad idea and I'll stop."

[ SHOELACES: A NON-LINEAR LOVE STORY ] [ COMPLETED - 81K WORDS ] [ 2021 WATTYS SHORTLIST ] Darrion Gubart thinks he's a loser, a loner, a musical theatre nerd, a math addict, and almost anything else except for the main character. As a high school senior, he can hardly hold in his excitement to move off to a prestigious college and start a new life for himself. That is if he gets in, of course, with the constant swirl of doubt and anxiety swirling in his mind. Luckily, he has his one friend, Jazmine Lockart, who cares for him along the way. The only issue is Jazmine would rather party with her soccer team than spend a night with Darrion watching Dance Mom Compilations (though, she loves him enough to do just that). Darrion has a relatively supportive family too. Emphasis on the "relatively," for almost everybody except his family knows that Darrion likes boys. But Darrion loves them, so he decides to ignore that small piece of information and focus on the good aspects, like their weekly board games nights. Truthfully, Darrion has almost made the fact he likes boys a side note in his own life, mainly because of the lack of first-hand experience to which he can refer. Well, that's until he meets Santiago de Rosa, the man of Darrion's dreams (to put it simply). And, for the first time in Darrion's life, things seem to be looking up. Well, that's until somebody dies.
