Life for Callie had never been an easy one but it was something she had gotten used to. For this emotionally lonely girl, it entailed balancing school with work, taking care of her mentally ill dad and dealing with a pointless high school drama that she had been webbed in. But when her dad got arrested for something he didn't do, Callie took it upon herself to appeal to the person who put him there. What she didn't expect was to get tangled up with the quiet, emerald-eyed Larkin Hammell and opening up her fragile heart to a boy with more baggage than she ever had. Larkin Hammell had enough scars on his face and his heart, likewise, to last a lifetime. He had become a shadow of his former self and all he wanted was to be left alone to wallow in his pain and grief. Hiding away from the world and wearing the guilt of his past on his sleeves were all part of Larkin's plans. Then everything changed when fate swept her into his life unexpectedly. Is love ever enough to fix the fragments of a broken heart or is it all you need to pick up the remaining pieces before it gets completely shattered? *** 👑1st place - Monarchy Awards (Teen Fiction Category) 👑1st place - The Innovation Awards (Romance Category) 👑1st place - The Ulven Awards (Romance Category) 👑 Winner of "Best Fantasy" Category - Nigerian Readers Choice Awards 👑3rd place - The Noble Awards (Teen Fiction Category) Readers' Reviews - "Is this really chapter 1?

This story is only available from the chapter one to three. But you can get the full book on Goodnovel. I watched her eyes as they roamed down from my boots and up to my face. We locked gazes for sometime, with she attempting in vain to hide the blush that where slowly crepting up on her cheeks and made her ears quite pink. Her deep big dark brown eyes where still the same, but only deeper in the glow of the evening sunglight. When they met mine, it was like they saw right through me, knew my darkest deepest thoughts, my vulnerability, my fears and my desires. It felt like she knew what I don't.... And it really freaked me out. She was fair skinned, had this beauty mark beside her left eye, and it was cute, plus her small straight nose. Her pale brown thin lips were always like they were in a pout. She waasn't my type, that was for sure. So why was I completely irresistibly fascinated by her like I was spell bind? "How old are you? My voice came out a little too rough for my own liking, because all I could think of was nibbling on those pale brown thin lips of hers, run my tongue over them, and lastly, kiss them. "Seventeen." She replied after releasing a deep breath which I suspected she'd held captive earlier on. Her tiny hands pulled the hoodie away from her hair and I came face to face with her cornrows. This girl! Fuuuuuuck! She was beautiful, she was possibly the most beautiful thing I had come across today. I don't know, maybe she looked that beautiful to me because she brought me to this enchanted place. "I bet you know me as Octavia cause I know you as Eliakim." She raised her eyes up to mine again. "It's a strange name, never heard of it, but it's nice." I was starting to like it when she stared at me, even longed for her eyes to meet mine. "So is yours." * This book contains two major Characters. A 22 years old boy who's bipolar, and a 17 years old girl who's insecure.

Alacrimia in Layman's terms is the congenital inability to produce tears. Some places in Africa have their norms and beliefs wrapped around age-old, blind superstitions. Especially the rural communities. So when a young girl comes from the city to the village, and it is discovered, through a series of unfortunate events, that she won't cry, even when induced, things take a downward spin for her, as she finds herself from Osun State to Kogi State, and then Enugu State. © This book is a work of fiction. •°•°•° 🏆 Honorable Mention in The Ruby Awards 2019 (4th place) #WattNigeria #WattysNG2020 Updates on Weekends.

It is true that Eve tempted Adam to sin by eating a forbidden fruit. But what if Segun was really the one who tempted Eve? That's right - Segun! * Segun is a handsome, tightly-strung panty -dropper, intent on only one thing with the females. Hit and run! But when he meets Eve, he finds out he's not able to let go of her so easily. The reason isn't because she believes in the picture of marriage with kids and a nice cozy home -- something he's greatly averse to, neither is it because she's a sight for sore eyes -- okay, that definitely is a factor -- but it's not because she decides to rope him into a "Ten commandment game plan," concocted by her best friend to win him over and make him fall in love with her either. Could the reason be he's actually beginning to like her more than he should? There's just one problem about that. Probably more than one problem actually, stands in their way. The unusual suspects! Will Segun be able to remove the obstacles and win Eve before it's literally too late? This is a story that may at first seem cliché, but as you read on, you realize it's a complete package of lust, passion and games . . . so much games!!!

"You're death? Do you know how that sounds?" She chuckled. "Death is a teenager. Mind blown." ==What if death was a nice guy?== *one-page story*
