[A WP FEATURED STORY]
SARA DONOVAN is a nineteen-year-old business major at the University of Alabama with observation skills bordering on stalking and a pregnant imagination ready for Lamaze class. Her passion, kaleidoscope world view and fertile imagination combine to produce an uncanny knack for being right-but wrong. For most people, things can't get much worse than outing a gun-packing hijacker who turns out to be-The Air Marshal. Unless you're Sara. For her, it gets much worse.

Her hands shook violently as she dialed the 7 digits to call her big brother. Her heart was beating so loud, and fast in her mind. She was shaking nervously as she put the phone to her ear. She did a silent prayer hoping he would pick up. She was lucky he even picked up at 2 in the morning. "Hello?" his deep voice flowed through the phone. "Kianna?" he asked a little worried. "I-I killed him." she forced out as she cried out loud. "I killed him, Leon. I-I d-didn't mean t-to!" she cried louder. That night changed her life forever.

I'll make sure of it." ___________________________________ There is a lot to think about when you find out your best friend has been raped and murdered. There is even more to think about when you're the last person she saw the night she died. But that's not what caused me to black out in the middle of a rocking party scene, surrounded by all the people I had known all my life. It was when I saw who had killed her. Hilarious, charming, the guy with the perfect quiff, and star quarter-back of the football team. He was loved by everyone. He was the guy you couldn't stay away from. Levi Harrison.

Have you ever sunk so low that you actually felt relieved, knowing that it couldn't possibly get any worse? Well, I have... Many times. I lost everything. My family, my future, my home... I swore I would never depend on anyone ever again. And he swore nothing will ever tie him down. He told me he has ghosts. I told him I have fears. We agreed. We were eachother's impending death. And yet I fell for him, slowly and deeply, until I didn't know how to be without him. And he fed on me, gently and steadily, until he didn't know how to let me go. They said he'll never stay. Yet, here he is. I said my heart will never break. Yet, here I am. My name is Alison Lewis, and all I want is to start over. #thewattys2021 Shortlist and #FEATURED on Wattpad Chicklit, New Adult, Romance and Psychological Novel #official reading lists.Complete
Care to Command
Office enemies fight for the same promotion, while resisting their growing chemistry. LAYLA masks her insecurities behind perfectionism. The goofy girl who loved flowers and cooking for her parents is now a workaholic and out of touch with herself. All she's able to focus on is to get promoted so that she has a chance to feel confident and earn her dad's long-awaited approval. LUCAS hides a heavy burden with charm and nonchalance. The boy who used to be nurturing and open now pretends to joke around without a care. What he doesn't share is that he might want that promotion to fulfill his own voids just like her. One thing leads to another, and the two find themselves in unprofessional settings where their masks slowly come off, showing how similar they are, and just how much they might need each other. "Loved this story. It had everything that makes a story amazing. Fuming hot chemistry. Believable flawed characters that changed and matured through chapters. " - loriblu2000 "This was just the kind of story I've been looking for. So cute and also realistic. I adored the characters and their banters sooo much." - draama__queen "I absolutely adore Layla and Lucas and and they are characterized so beautifully that it's almost impossible for them not to become instant favorites." - Wisal13 "I LOVE Layla's strong character, the strong female lead because it's literally so rare, especially on Wattpad, and I loved that the male lead, not once tried to show how MANLY he is and exert his power because of his insecurities, like in most books." - maddylewis998 "This book made me laugh , cry and did some other things too hehe.. This is one of the best rom-com books I've ever read I have to re-read again.. Lots of love" - jamsniee "Sooo I started reading this at 1am and finished at 10:30 am... and it was so fking worth it!

Taming The Tomboy (Rewriting)
"Hermia is a heck of a character I love" "The kitchen scene is so hilarious. This story is amazing!" ~LYh203126 "I love your dialogues. Imagining this feels so good!" ~MadeenahJunaid "God, the cliffhangers. . . It makes me wonder what lies ahead in the next page. Well written" ~HappyEndingWriter Teaser: I went into a frenzy when the curtain was drawn apart and there stood the boy next door with his eyes closed and hands outstretched. But he wasn't just there. He was stark shirtless! My eyes slowly widened and I could feel my own heart beat frantically against my chest ribs. If anyone told me the nerd had perfect eight pack abs and flexed muscles, I'd disagree but here it was, mocking me right in the face. Sweats trickled their way down his belly lines and his torso was rising in a sync. What happens when the tomboy starts to have girl like feelings she ought not to and always condemned? But what seems like a normal highschool story boy falls in love with girl and changes for her might not be it. Instead of the girl to change the boy, the boy is changing the girl. It all started with an hockey match and a misunderstood identity. ©2022 #5 in YARomance (July 25, 2022) #25 in nerdy (May 7, 2025) #11 in nerdy (July 12, 2025) #33 in hiddengems July 16, 2025) #57 in undiscovered (July 16, 2025) 100 reads- July 19 200 reads- July 26 300 reads- July 31 400 reads- August 2 500 reads- August 7 600 reads- August 11 *time jump* ----- Cover designed and edited by @StarDaisyxxx21 All images which will be used to represent characters herein do not belong to me.

She frowned at him, creating a slight crease between her eyebrows that was so unlike the rest of her flawless and perfect appearance. "Am I tempting you?" "No." His mind screamed, yes! She batted her eyelashes at him, her violet blue eyes bright. "Do I have to beg?" she asked with a pouty lower lip. *** Teagan Miller: He was known as a no-good ladies' man who lived for the moment.
