for the ones who used to love me, the ones who broke my heart, and the one who loves me now. and for you. for all of you. ~ catarine hancock's debut poetry collection. covering topics like love, heartbreak, feminism, growth, and more, these select poems from her book will tug at both your heartstrings and your mind.

Vee failed pre-calculus, and Amber becomes her tutor. The two become unlikely friends, but it begins to blossom into something more.

Wren and Kenna hated each other in high school. Now mature-ish adults, they still hate each other. The problem? They're engaged. A year away from marriage, according to two of the most powerful people in the world: their parents. ***** Wren Castile and Kenna Gold are engaged...because their parents say so (and no, they're not kidding). Wren has one year to marry her former nemesis, or else. The fact that Kenna emulated her infamously anti-gay father throughout high school seems to be irrelevant--even to Kenna herself. Suddenly Wren and the girl she never wanted to see again are on the same (bickering) side as they face mandatory dates, disastrous family get-togethers, and their unhappy past. Wren is filled with mistrust, but to protect her heart, she might just have to sit back and let it lead the way.

***GirlXGirl Romance*** Living in New York you learn to keep up with the quick pace of the city, myself included. I was never the one to stop and smell the roses, but that was until I met her on that dull September afternoon. Her eyes were light and dark at the same time, as if a devil and an angel lived inside of her. Time itself had stopped, and since that day everything had changed, ever since I had crossed paths with Drew Wilder.

Year 2015 - Part 1 und Year 2018 - Part 2 zusammen! "Du und Regina..." Schüttelte er wieder seinen Kopf grinsend. "Ihr beide könntet wirklich die Weltherrschaft an euch reißen! Du mit deinen Sprüchen und sie mit ihrem Temperament." Angewidert verzog ich mein Gesicht. "Niemals! Dann wärst du ja unter mir!" Wild schüttelte ich meinen Kopf. "Nein, nein, nein, den Gedanken schieben wir bitte ganz schnell zur Seite!" Aiden grinste nur breit und fuhr durch sein Haar. "Oh Baby...Wenn du wüsstest, was ich alles für dich tun würde." Dieser Satz bereitete mir Gänsehaut. "Naja also...Ich weiß das du dein Leben-" "Ich würde eiskalt für dich töten, Kleines." Ich erstarrte leicht. "Wenn du mir jetzt sagen würdest, wen ich umbringen sollte, wegen was auch immer, ich würde es tun. Sofort." Das machte mich absolut Sprachlos. Ja, ich bekam wirklich kein Wort mehr heraus! "Klingt das so abgedreht?" Fragte Aiden leicht beschämt. "Vermutlich ja aber...Für dich, würde ich über Leichen gehen, um jeden Preis. Selbst wenn ich dabei draufgehe." --- TRIGGERWARNING: Self Harm, Depression, Bullying, Eating Disorder, Sexual Acts!

"I won't ever let anyone hurt you." He whispered against my skin sending chills down my spine. I whimpered as I nodded. "Princess?" He mumbled into my ear making my knees go weak. "I know, Dominic." It came out more as a plea than a statement, I felt his lips gently pull up into a smile on my collar bone. "Good." With that he pulled my lips to meet his making me melt into his body.
