We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled.

C O M P L E T E D : 24/02/22 Sienna Callum was popular - scratch that - she was the queen of high school. She had tons of gorgeous friends wishing to be her, smoking hot flings, and an unbelievably trendy fashion sense. But, she needed one more thing. Decent grades to graduate. Roman Lawrence was a nerd - scratch that - THE nerd of high school. Yet, his exceptional intelligence made him stand out among those seeking to learn. He had one problem though, the girl he'd been crushing on since kindergarten didn't like him back. One of the reasons? His lack of experience.... sexually. This isn't boy meets girl. This is mouse meets vixen. This is what happens when these two opposites strike a deal and things get hot. "So, here's my offer: you tutor me in school, and I tutor you in sex." _____ W A R N I N G T H I S S T O R Y C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ sexual/mature content ❤︎ explicit language ❤︎ alcohol consumption ❤︎ mild violence _____ H I G H E S T R A N K I N G S : 1 #virginboy 1 #goodboybadgirl 1 #nerdboy 1 #scandalous 1 #populargirl 1 #tutor 1 #badgirlgoodboy 2 #forbidden 2 #eroticromance 3 #sexy _____ S T A R T E D - 05/03/2021 C O M P L E T E D - 24/02/2022 (word count: 200,000 - 250,000)

𝓘𝓼𝓪𝓫𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓪 ♥︎ Not many things have managed to catch me off guard in this life after enduring years of trauma. But Kayden did. He came out of the blue, so sudden, the whiplash is practically everlasting. I've always prided myself in having my shit together and priorities straight- and I did. Until life decided to throw me curveball in the form of a perfectly handsome, charming and oh so out of my league man. I don't even understand why. I was doing just fine without him, in law school at twenty-two, focus set on my studies of becoming a successful lawyer and following in my grandparents' footsteps, surrounded by the most amazing group of friends. But it doesn't matter. When Kayden Dominguez sets his mind and heart to something- he will get it. And my façade might not be strong enough to stop him. 𝓚𝓪𝔂𝓭𝓮𝓷 ♡︎ Despite what the tabloids might say about me, I'm not ignorant or stupid. I know I am that guy your parents would warn you about growing up, maybe still to this day. I am the son of Alejandro- and Alexia Dominguez. Owners of the biggest label company in Southern California. Maybe even the entire state. That itself will have people build and paint your persona to what they think you entail. Good thing I don't give a single shit about that whole puppet show called the media. I'd even go as far as to admit I go through my days feeling superfluous. I lived a pretty hollow life. I don't know how or why that changed the second I met her. It was like something clicked. Had you told me this would happen the day before, I would've probably punched you out cold. But like I said, she waltzed into my life and...I haven't been the same since. I just know I want Isabella Khalil, the ultimate woman of my dreams, to be mine. But how exactly do you pursue the only woman you've ever truly wanted, who also happens to be the only person ever to refuse tumbling for your charms?

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

STORY 5 I'd pick your thunder, I'd pick your rain: over anyone's sunshine any day.

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.*

They say the best things in life are unexpected but so are the worst things. Especially the worst things. Lucas Cage has been blissfully ignorant to the harsh forthcomings of the world. Who can blame him? Growing up in a successful, millionaire family where legendary boxers are your blood has made him untouchable. His bold words, uncaring attitude, and cunning behaviour have always been forgiven by those who love and despise him alike. He's the devious boy that grew up into a malicious man even though his heart is in the right place. But what happens when tragedy strikes in his only known weakness: his family? His world as he knows it is turned upside down in the most unforgivable way and now he wants vengeance. He wants to hurt the way he's been hurt. And what better target than the only girl who's ever wrecked his heart? Olivia West has no idea she's become her former best friend's latest prey but that doesn't mean she's not ready for him. Because she wants her vengeance too and she wants it from the boy who shattered her heart all those years ago. She used to be his saviour but now she's his enemy and she plays the part disturbingly well. There's just one problem: devastation arises and threatens to rip both their families apart, something that's much bigger than the two of them. Their rivalry must be put on hold or they'll break under the weight of the world. For the first time in years they need each other, whether they like it or not, and discover that hate isn't the only passionate emotion that flares between them. But will they survive this unexpected path, or will they crash and burn? *Spin-off to the original FIGHTER'S DEN series. CAN be read as a stand-alone.

STORY 4 BOOK 2 of Loving November Grace Five years ago I was swept up in this storm. The storm of him. And for a beautiful second, our clouds, they collided. Our skin hydrated. Loving the way the rain felt across our nerves. The electricity, the lightning burning us. And this storm it broke and fixed me all at once. It tore down everything in it's path, destroyed walls and melted ice I thought was forever going to be inside of me, but it also nurtured my heart and I grew. I grew and I survived everything after; all the consequences of loving him. We survived. I was left with memories, and imprints that only whispered to be heard. And even they faded over the years. I wasn't ever going to see him again and that was okay. It was okay until it wasn't. Until it wasn't a reality. And he walked right into my little coffee shop. Because when two points are destined to touch, when paths are pushed together, forced to cross- There's no rule that they only cross once. If the universe wants it, it will always find a way to make the connection. Cole and I lost each other, and I thought that was fate, that is what was destined for us. It was the safest thing for us all. It still is. And that is fine. But when we did meet again, all those years later- it wasn't. Nothing at all was fine. There are so many reasons why I should have stayed away, so many reasons why that fire, that fire should have gone out by now, and nothing but ash should be left. Yet it burned. Us. Them. It was destructive and neither of us even wanted it. But. It's us. Our hearts are old friends, our skin, etched with each other's fingertips.

STORY 3 If he was a tornado, she was a hurricane. The problem was though, they both loved the feel of the rain.
