An ongoing story I am currently working on.

"You can't have everything." "Why can't I?" He shouted. I stretched my hand, giving him the jacket. "Because that's not how it works." Assuming he was reaching for the jacket, I moved closer but instead he pulled me by the arms and secured his hand around my waist. "Then how can he have everything he wants?" Seth said, his voice was a whisper in my ear, his face beside mine, his jaw grazing my cheek. I flinched away. **** Alyssa Lucille is rich and young, she's sixteen. That's it. The good part is over. She looks pretty average, she overthinks everything, she likes creating alternate realities. When summer arrives, she wants to have a good time but things get out of control relatively quickly as she's forced to invite Seth Harrison back into her life, the guy she might as well hate. Seth Harrison works to earn a living. He's eighteen and steps into Alyssa's life, trying to earn back her trust again. He doesn't smile when he finds out she's the girl his bestfriend's dating. **** Is this the cliche book where the bad boy and the good girl don't like each other and then suddenly realize they're in love? No. I'm just an author changing the steriotypical plot and giving you guys something different. Something I would love to read atleast :) **** 1st place in Excellence Awards (2021 romance) If you're reading this, I urge you to continue!!

As Lord Adam Beresford left Ashwood, Hertfordshire for the training and education of a gentleman, he promised to return and marry his childhood best friend, and the only girl he could see himself marrying, Grace Denham. Neither of them foresaw that it would be twelve years until they would meet again. A lot has changed in that time, and their lives are vastly different. Adam became a gentleman, and everything that the heir to a Dukedom ought to be. Grace remained in Ashwood and became a housemaid to support her family. But as their lives intertwine once more, their childhood promise bubbles to the surface, throwing their lives, the lives of their families, and the village of Ashwood into chaos.
