It was Las Vegas. We were stupid, reckless, and in love.

#1 in Romance - 07.01.2021 Forced to be around each other because their best friends just happen to love each other, Nicole and Blake must learn to be civil with one another for their sakes. However, being civil might be asking too much of the two of them - when the word didn't really exist in either of their vocabulary. She's a loudmouth, no filter whatsoever when she speaks and hates egoistic men. He's childish, also has no filter - especially when flirting - and oozes confidence like it's his birthright. They were so similar and yet so different, but oddly perfect for each other. Mostly, they were really just a recipe for disaster. This is the story of their turbulent journey. A spin-off to "Back to You"...

His piercing blue eyes were so mesmerizing, yet they seemed to mock me. "So," he smirked. "Do we have a deal?"

I always saw him as "my greatest enemy" but I don't know if we're enemies anymore. We have mutual friend but never exactly been friends but we aren't enemies either. Maybe we could call it frenemies or at least something like that. Some sorts of frenemies with some sorts of benefits. Why the hell they call it "benefits", when it brings nothing but trouble... *May include sexual tension and strong language*

"3 days more, I'll b back, luv. We'll talk then." I'd been reading his text message over and over again. But it had been almost two weeks now and I hadn't heard back from him. The waiting time was starting to feel like an eternity, and it's now making me wonder... Will he really come back to me? I missed him terribly! Unspoken words. Soundless tears. Selfish emotions. Pride. And the feelings I should have recognized. These were lessons I used to ignore. Until Cliff came into my life. Bit by bit, he changed something within me. Like a gentle rainfall, he turned my harsh, uncaring winter into a nurturing, blossoming spring. If you have time to spare, please, sit awhile with me. Let me tell you about how I learned the greatest, most unforgettable lesson of my life. This is a novel inspired by a true story about the biggest lesson one has ever learned from love. Will the experience shatter you or make you whole? You be the judge! ________________________ "Never has a romance novel been so grounded in reality and morals.

Harry Styles is the definition of the guy your mother warned you about. Too bad my mother didn't know about him to warn me. I knew who he was, what he did, what his habits were...but I still was drawn to him, even though we were complete opposites. It was curiosity that led me to him, to that hallway. Little did I know my life would forever change because sometimes opposites attract. *completed*
