[COMING SOON] Lilith, sole heiress to the Vanderbilt fortune, stopped caring about her future ages ago. The psychological pressure and delusional expectations of her parents forced her to become everything she hates. Most nights she searches for happiness at the bottom of a bottle amid New York's elite. Obscure, mind-numbingly sexy, and infuriating-as-hell Adam Finley storms into her life. He's the ideal candidate to piss off her parents. A glorious distraction with a complicated past and a dangerous secret. Opulence is all she's ever known, but notability and wealth don't impress Adam. Neither does Lilith and her spoiled ways. Adam's disdain for high society challenges her into the most intoxicating game of her life: seducing him.

***WATTYS 2021 YA WINNER*** When her handsome nemesis challenges her to a bet, ambitious eighteen-year-old Nyla must go on more dates than him or risk losing her dream role on the school paper. The only problem is, can she stop herself from falling for him in the process? ***** The world of online dating is hard...especially when the boy you hate turns it into a competition. Ambitious Nyla Satori has a perfect life, except for the fact she's on the brink of adulthood and has never been kissed. She's also about to lose her dream role on the school paper to her ex-best friend turned nemesis, Jax Henderson, unless she can do something to stop him. When Jax spots her eyeing his new dating app, he comes up with a bet that solves all of her problems: the pair will join the app, and whoever scores the most dates in two months wins the role of Faculty Advisor. For Nyla, it's the ultimate bet, but when old feelings resurface and the pair grow closer, she starts to wonder if she really hates Jax as much as she thought she did. Either way, there can only be one winner at the end of two months, and both are certain that it's going to be them. Let the swiping game commence. *If you aren't reading this book on Wattpad, it has been stolen. Please report the website!*

A collection of some of the weird happenings I've lived, and died, through.

At the pinnacle of her career, orthopedic surgeon Ava King conquers the lucrative medical field of London. A wild and intimate night with competitive Formula One driver James Ellis ends with Ava being stood up. The rejection leads her straight into the arms of the enigmatic surgeon Gabriel. Ava plays with fire as she can't forget her strong connection with James, but can't resist the jealous and possessive Gabriel, either. What follows can only be called a harrowing series of events. Ava wakes up in the hospital, but as a patient, forcing her to revisit her traumatic recent past. ----- It's like I'm in an asylum but I'm the one in a straitjacket. Insane with lust, I try to break free from his clutches. My body and mind languish in utter turmoil. One part wants and allows him to do whatever he wants with me. The other part desperately tries to convince every ounce of its being to cry, scream for him to stop, and run for the hills. Before both brain and limb are crippled in ecstasy, the turmoil starts all over again. ***This story has themes of drug use, sex, sexual abuse and violence. If these themes are triggers, rather skip.

{SAMPLE - Published on Amazon} An elite society. Double identities. Scandal. Weeks of pure indulgence, conservative parties, and expensive alcohol-all for her to mix with London's elite society and repair her family's tarnished reputation. Educated, elegant, Bethany Dalton is heading for a summertime 'retreat' that her parents are forcing her to attend. With his enticing green eyes and rebellious tattoos, Alexander Edwardson is exactly what Bethany needs to avoid in order to succeed. Known for his playboy ways and lothario reputation, Alex can't keep his eyes off Bethany as soon as she steps into the ballroom. He's completely distracted by the return of his childhood friend and desperate to make her his for the night. His persistence is the start of an intense, desire-filled relationship, and Bethany soon finds herself far more wrapped up in his world than she was ever supposed to be. Except she isn't Bethany. With her secret hanging over her, and their time ticking away... what will happen when the truth is finally exposed? Or is it deceit that really brings two people together within this elite society? After all, it's not only the underprivileged who have secrets to hide. THIS IS A SAMPLE OF THE FIRST THREE CHAPTERS OF 'ALEX' BY JESSICA LOU.

{18+ COMPLETED} "I don't understand why you won't tolerate the idea when we're both about the same no-strings fun." "Maybe because I just don't like you," I argue. "I don't believe you." Ellis' voice startles me, not just by how low and husky it is, but by the close proximity, his breath fanning over my bare neck. Turning around I inhale sharply at the sight of his pale blue eyes boring into mine, his hands resting on either side of my head against the metal, muscles tensed as he holds himself off of my body. His body is easily double the size of mine, a notion that makes my breath almost stop as he continues to hover there, his face angled down as I trail my eyes over his facial features. Without thinking my lips part, his own mirroring my actions, a sign that he's just as affected by me as I am by him. ---------------------------------------------------- Spin Off. Can be read as a STAND ALONE book... however, it makes more sense if you read The Test of Time first. Becky Gordon has no time for men. Although, she does tolerate some hours with them; non-stop one night stands, one time excursions in the gym locker rooms, swift daytime quickies. She's always been the same, ever since high school. Only once has she ever considered the possibility of something more, but that idea blew up in her face, proving to her that she's better off alone. Yet years later, the very man who made her doubt everything is back, catapulting into her life like never before. He's determined to make things right and won't take no for an answer. She can't deny the things he makes her feel, their similar humor and quick wit, the lust that pulses through her at the mere sight of him. But she's resisted his womanizer ways since high school, and what's really changed since then? Can Becky continue to resist Ellis Wakefield? Or does having a little bit of perseverance really pay off?

Maybe it's the way he's like cool waters dancing on flames. Or maybe it's the way his spirals of earthy brown collide with golden flecks. He engulfs me in this warmth and I can't seem to pull away. His dark brown eyes seem to be searching for something and I'm afraid if he stares for too long, I would unravel. I'm holding on to secrets that keep me safe, but he has his secrets too. __________ Grief is an ocean and Magalise Parker is drowning.
