Some ghosts never die. For William Slate, there's always been his troubled older brother Charlie. When Charlie left home in the aftermath of a violent confrontation, scars and a childhood cut short was the legacy he left behind. Seven years later, William Slate is finally in control, and he won't give that up for anything. Athena Slate is an open book. Self-reliant and brutally honest, she refuses to let anything get in her way. Not an increasingly distant twin brother, not a best friend she hasn't seen in months, and certainly not the things people start to say about her at school... When their father announces that Charlie is returning home, Will and Athena must navigate minefields of memory and family. ⭐️FEATURED by @StoriesUndiscovered, @YA, @CommunityTeam, and @NewAdult ⭐️

Ladies and gentlemen welcome onboard this story about James and Lucy and how one day destiny put them on the same (flight) path. We are expecting a very pleasant ride with a lot of romance, passion and a fair amount of good old Instagram stalking. As we are, however, forecasting some turbulent lies, past relationships and hard decisions, we recommend you hold on to your seatbelts (and wigs) tight. Should your air supply fail due to breathtaking chapters finales, the "Follow" button will be provided so you can be updated as soon as a new chapter is published. Finally, should you find yourself in a sea of tears due to the exciting and emotional events of this story, your safety blanket can be found on your nearest bed/sofa/chair. Now, please sit back, relax and enjoy the ride... Sometimes the stars align and put two people on the same path. When James sees Lucy for the first time, she's about to receive the call that will change her life. When he sees her the second time, he knows he has to have her. Will the help of destiny be enough to make up Lucy's mind? Will she let go of what she has to let James into her life? All characters and events are a figment of my imagination and any reference to real people is coincidental.

❝Assallam alay-❞ Holy chicken. Hottie alert. Does my veil look sexy? The holy month of Ramadan; a month where Muslims are required to fast, abstain from sins, and connect spiritually with Allah. It's also the month where Paulina Suarez--the practicing, straightforward, biracial Muslimah--tries to avoid acting on her feelings for the goofy baker boy who has been assigned to make food for her break of fast for the next 30 days. 30 days. She just has to endure his heartwarming smiles, sense of humor, and amazing talent in the art of making samosas for 30 days without jumping his bones. ...And without killing that co-worker of his that's just trying to get to him before Ramadan is up. Yep...no pressure at all. *** a/n: so much fluff... you'd probably suffocate. THIS IS AN OLD DRAFT. Featured Under Editors' Picks, April 2021.
