𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞 Cyrene Scott spent her entire life fighting poverty with faith. With a sick mother depending on her, unpaid bills stacking up, and dreams she buried long ago, getting a job at Ibex was supposed to be the start of a better life-not the beginning of a dangerous one. Then she meets him. The son of a wealthy Chinese businessman feared across Kingston. Cold. Protective. Mysterious. A man carrying responsibilities darker than Cyrene could ever imagine. She prays for peace. He was born into violence. But no matter how hard they try to stay apart, their worlds continue to collide.

Zaniyah Balistr is focused on building her future in the finance industry-ambitious, disciplined, and determined not to let anything slow her down. Love isn't on her radar, especially not now. Tahjay was never meant to be more than a friend. A close one. The kind who knows her routines, her stress, her late nights, and the pressure she carries in silence.

"Age is just a number" the words come from his mouth with nothing but confidence and that damn smirk on his lips says he means nothing but business.

Alicent Velet knows how to survive-by being good, quiet, invisible. Nicholas Slovacek has never followed a rule in his life. When their worlds collide under the ruthless eye of boot camp discipline, one act of kindness ties them together. He's trouble she doesn't need. But sometimes, danger looks a lot like freedom. This story is inspired by Nicholas Slovacek in BOOTS. Disclaimer: This fanfiction is based on the world and characters created by Andy Parker based on The Pink Marine by Greg Cope White. I make no claim of ownership and receive no financial gain from this story. The plot and any original characters are entirely my creation. This work is for entertainment purposes only.

The year is 1990 and Crystal Nelson has enlisted to bootcamp as a marine, but as she steps on the recruitment bus to her new life she suddenly finds out there's been a huge mistake...she's the only girl! Throughout her challenges during bootcamp she slowly begins to be romantic with non other than Nicholas Slovecek, will this new found romance distract her from her goals? Disclaimer: This story is HIGHLY based on the Netflix series called Boot (which I definitely suggest you watch, though it is not a requirement to understanding this story!) I do not own the series in any way, including the characters mentioned or any of the cover art/photographs being used. The only character I own is Crystal Nelson, however as this series goes on, I may create more but I will say so in an authors note at the end of the chapter they are introduced. This is a completely fan-made story and is not intended for profit in any ways. Additionally, I will try to avoid mischaracterization as much as possible but it won't be perfect! Disclaimer: This is the clean version which still includes swears and the slight description of sensual activities (kissing) but has not smut in it whatsoever, i will make a non-clean version of this work so read that one if you wish to read some smut(keep in mind that will be my first writing of smut so it'll probably terribly :D)

Aaliyah never planned on catching the eye of Leo Ramirez. A quiet, brooding basketball player who looks at her like she's trouble & like he'd burn the whole world for her.

"Why do you want me?" "You want to know why I want you?" He exhales, like he's been holding this in for weeks. "I want you because I don't date for fun. I don't do temporary. I want you because when I think about marriage, your face is the only one there. I want you because if I ever have kids, I want them to have you as their mother. I want you because you're the love of my life." A beat. "And I want you because everything in me settles when you're with me."

State of Affairs ⚖︎ "You missed a talking point on page four, Governor," I said, sliding the briefing file across his heavy mahogany desk. Tennyson didn't look at the file. His dark eyes stayed locked on my mouth, completely devoid of the golden-man charm he'd just fed to a crowd of thousands. "Lock the door, Milan," he murmured, his voice low and exhausted. "You have a press briefing in ten minutes, sir. And your wife is waiting in the lobby." He stepped around the desk, invading my space until the scent of cedar and expensive bourbon swallowed me whole. His hand brushed my waist, his thumb pressing possessively against my hip. "I don't care," he breathed, his facade finally shattering. "Lock the damn door." 🏛️ To the world, 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐲𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐬 is untouchable. He is the state's golden man, a devoted husband, and a man with a spotless reputation. Everyone worships the ground he walks on. Everyone except his executive assistant, 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐊𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐚. Milan has a strict two-year plan: survive the Governor's temper, secure her recommendation letter, and catch a one-way flight to Washington, D.C. Her job description: hand him his black coffee, fix his crooked ties, and treat the most powerful man in the state like a normal human being. But her immunity is exactly what breaks him. Behind the heavy oak doors of his office, Tennyson sheds his perfect mask. He is cynical, ruthless, and spiraling into a dark, desperate obsession with the only woman who doesn't want anything from him. He becomes addicted to her warmth and slowly to her. As late nights at the office blur into a secret arrangement, Milan thinks she has the situation under control. But she doesn't know that Tennyson's public life is a PR lie. She doesn't know that the Governor has absolutely no intention of letting her go. 'Cause what the Governor needs, the Governor gets.
