Olivia Allen is a college student who is studying abroad in London. Quickly after moving halfway across the world, her semester's focus shifts from her studies to a certain blonde boy she can't seem to stay away from. This book is a cute, romantic, and mature love story. It's definitely not AU - I tried to stay true to their lives as best as I could imagine. There's some build up, but it eventually gets very very smutty. Best rankings: 🥇 #niallhoran 🥇 #1dsmut 🥇 #niall 🥇 #horan 🥉 #niallsmut #9 #onedirection ... 2021 Update! I wrote this in 2014 & 2015 so in 2021 I polished it up a bit. The plot didn't change but I fixed some grammar and word choice. If you enjoy it, please keep the votes & comments coming! Rereaders, let me know if you notice anything I changed. But I truly hope nothing is noticeable! ... As a shameless advertising push (well not entirely, there's some shame) here are some of the sweetest comments ever on my story. I'm hoping they convince you to read it, especially because I think my writing improves a lot after the first few chapters but I worry that people don't get to where I really hit my stride before quitting on this story. So please stick with it and maybe you will agree with these kind readers: "LAST CHAPTER IM GOING TO CRY😭😭THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FAN FICS IVE EVER READ" "omg I absolutely loved it!!! I literally stayed up until my eyes couldn't stay open any longer reading this book!! You're an incredible writer and have written an amazing story <3" "THIS WAS SO AMAZING OMFG" "This truly is the most beautiful and sweet story I have ever read! You write so realistically! I love your style! I didn't want it to end! Loved every part!" "this would be the fifth time i have read this book love it every time" "❤️ I loved every minute of this story! Seemed almost true! Thanks for sharing your talent! ❤️" "This is the best story I have ever read. Thank you so much."

Do you pray because you believe that God exists? Or do you pray because you’re scared he does? † England, 1958: Niall Horan, eighteen year old, humble offspring of a poor Irish family, starts his last year at Saint Nathaniel’s, the county’s most highly esteemed catholic boarding school for boys. Growing up used to the institution’s strict rules, always careful not to stray from the path of a good christian and trying to be a son to be proud of, Niall never questioned the beliefs that were forced on him ever since; no matter the sudden confusion and doubts that start to arise in his mind after an ominous night out. But as he returns to school, he soon notices that things are really changing: Not only the strange behaviour of his best friend Harry, who seems to hide something from him worries Niall. His roommate Liam as well, who was always of the peaceful kind, suddenly gets into trouble for a bloody fight with the new kitchen boy Zayn. Yet, they don’t seem much like enemies when no one else is around. Only Louis, head boy and son of the school’s benefactor, remains reliable to Niall. At least until a secret that could ruin Saint Nathaniel’s reputation for all times surfaces. And then, as if things couldn’t get worse, Niall meets Goldie, the girl with the big brown eyes, pink lips and skin so soft he feels it against his in his dreams. Trying to resist his fleshly desires and his greedy human nature, his lust and confusion push Niall to the edge of his own sanity: And no prayer and no punishment, no whiplash or any other kind of self-flaggellation can exorcise the demons that slowly take over his unholy, wicked soul.
