Ashlyn hasn't spoken a word since the age of eight, and her heart's never felt more protected. But, when the confident and ever so charming Derek stumbles into her quiet little world, her emotions-and forbidden desires-have never been so loud. ***** For twenty years, silence is all Ashlyn Holland has known. Haunted by the memories of her father, and the harrowing song of the ocean that stole him from her, Ashlyn maintains a safe distance from the rest of the world. Treading carefully the sea of fear and anguish that surrounds her, Ashlyn is determined to do all she can to protect her heart from such a tragic loss striking again. In silence, she grieves. In silence, she is safe. In silence, she finds the strength to breathe. But the silence can only last so long... Derek Moreno is charming and devoted, and quick to see through every wall Ashlyn erects. With his arrival in town, defences fold and walls begin to crumble, the songs of her heart reaching new heights. Together, they crest twin tides of fate, the silence she'd once sought engulfed by his gentle touch, and the whispers of a love thought impossible. For the summer, Ashlyn welcomes the noise. The disruption. But, the ghosts of Derek's past will no longer remain silent, and their deafening power has the potential to drag them both into a current strong enough to drown them amidst their heartache.

[01/07/2021] - [13/04/2023] "You can't keep going around like a fucking maniac and treating me like shit. That isn't how relationships work," Sophia's voice was havoc as she verbalized her emotions. "That isn't how we work..." Tired, vulnerable and agitated at not only him, but herself. How could she let herself get this far, in such little time? He looked down, ashamed, not wanting to respond. His heart felt like it was beating faster than it should've. "I forgot how it felt to love you." As soon as those words were uttered from Sophia's lips, his world broke apart. Gone, in just a matter of seconds. - - - When Sophia Adam moves to a new town, she wishes nothing more than a boring, new life, to separate herself from her past.

From Kamery Solomon, #1 bestselling genre author and creator of the bestselling series The God Chronicles, comes the international bestseller SWEPT AWAY, a time travel romance fraught with danger and secrets on the high seas! BLURB: Dead men tell no tales... For more than 200 years, the Treasure Pit on Oak Isle has baffled treasure hunters, engineers, and the common man alike. When Samantha Greene arrives, she finds her estranged father has spent years funneling energy and finances into the endeavor, finding nothing. When an accidental death occurs in the pit, fulfilling the prophecy that seven lives must end before the treasure can be found, the search kicks into high gear, with more than one party vying for the secrets that lie below. Finding herself the closest to the treasure anyone has ever been, Samantha throws herself into the work, landing among the coveted prize. Just as she's about to discover what's truly hidden beneath the island, the pit begins to flood with ocean water, sweeping her away despite her attempts to swim to the surface. Upon awaking, Samantha discovers that, not only did she not drown, but the year is 1695-one hundred years before the Treasure Pit was even discovered. Carried off by the pirate Tristan O'Rourke, a rouge Irishman with more than his share of secrets, she soon finds that there is much more than she realized in play. Will she discover the secrets of Oak Isle, or will an unexpected love keep her from finding out the truth? Will she ever make it back to her own time? Perhaps the real question is this; will she want to?

[SEQUEL TO "A YEAR AROUND THE SUN"] "This is a story about our love. A shatterproof kind of love that lasts even after the fireworks have gone up and dispersed, the smoke has cleared, and the ashes have settled into the ground. "Because in the end, you don't need fireworks. You just need someone who sticks around once they go out." ~~~~~~~~~~ « further description inside »

Keely Staub has grown up. At least that's what she thinks has happened. No longer a naive eighteen year old being introduced to a music industry that's equal parts grandeur and grime, she might even be considered a veteran. At just twenty six, she's lived almost too much of a life in the intervening years since she first came to New York. A great love and a great band, not to mention more than a few unsavoury addictions picked up along the way in the time honoured traditions of the rock stars before her. And she gave it all up - except the rock star part, of course. That was a different Keely Staub, a more innocent and wild one all at the same time. She's determined that person and all the things that came with her will stay in the past, and has a very clear path laid in front of her. A measured, smart, hopefully one day respected, path. The problem is the past refuses to remain the past.

[COMPLETE] "The day I started middle school, he spent in jail. The night I drank my first beer, he headlined his third world tour. I'm a college junior. He's a rockstar. I'm a good girl. And he's the vice I'd give it all up for." College student Haley is forced through a series of circumstances to leave everything familiar to tour with rockstar Jax...neither of them could have predicted what would happen. This is a work in progress. I will post new chapters weekly. Would love your comments anytime!

Xavier had a criminal record as colourful as the bruises on his face. He had built a less-than impressive reputation for himself from fights and drug misuse to rape allegations.

This is the journey of two people meant to be, but the universe just isn't ready for them yet. Will they overcome the secrets, burdens, trauma and grief to be together or are there just too many obstacles in the way? *This story is a dual his/her point of view story.*

*A Friends to Enemies to Lovers Romance* Madalynn Reese never expected to see Liam Tucker again. Not after all of these years, and not after he broke all of their promises. But when she heads off to her dream college and runs into her ex-childhood best friend, she soon learns that even though not all pinky promises are made to last, not all of them are made to be broken. ▫️▫️▫️▫️ I pushed my hand against his chest, but it did absolutely nothing to create distance, only causing his smugness to grow as he backed us into the wall. My breathing hitched as I compelled my brain to form words. "What are you doing Liam?" "What's it look like?" He challenged, leaning in and brushing his nose alongside my cheek. His lips grazed my ear causing my eyes to flutter closed. "Did you really come to hash the past Maddie? Or for something else?" ............. Maddie and Liam sitting in the tree, K-i-s-s-i-n-g... we all know how the rest of this story goes. Except when it doesn't. When Maddie moves, she and Liam make several promises to each other and seal it with their pinkies. A pinky promise is sacred, and Maddie and Liam would never break it. Or would they? When they run into each other in college years later, it definitely seems that way. Liam is not the same boy she remembers, and what's worse--he doesn't seem to remember her at all. What happens when limits are tested, guards are dropped, and the truth comes crashing down? With hearts on the line, a pinky promise proves to be the ultimate test. Top Ranking: #10 in sexy
