LOVE over CAREER or CAREER over LOVE?
Emma Jennings thought she had her whole life set for once. She was on the path to a successful career, she had friends to lean on, and on top of everything, she had a caring, selfless, boyfriend, Andrei Pierce. One day, Andrei receives an offer of a lifetime, which changes everything. His career takes flight once more, but the thing is, he has to travel all the way across the world for this career. It's up to Emma to piece this together.
From life, we learn that not everything is meant to be sustained. So, can we really have it all? A career and a love interest all at the same time, or is it too perfect?

Until the Final Whistle
All Characters in these stories have names of people I know ( this does not mean any of the couples are true ) There were two things Emma Reyes never messed around with: her GPA and a good game of hockey. Or soccer. Or really, any sport. At sixteen, she was the kind of girl teachers trusted, coaches praised, and classmates quietly admired from a distance. Nerdy enough to win every science fair, athletic enough to lead every team to finals. But for someone who always knew what to do and how to do it, Emma didn't expect her toughest assignment yet to come from the principal himself. "Find student coaches for our new kids' athletic program," he had said. It sounded easy. Fun, even. Until she realized one of those coaches had to be AJ Moreau - the best soccer player in the province, with a glare sharp enough to cut ice and an ego to match. The boy who didn't like her. At all. But what started as an awkward partnership on the soccer field might just turn into something Emma never planned for - not in her spreadsheets, not in her perfectly color-coded life, and definitely not in her heart.Complete
We were never meant to be
Kayla Everson is a 18 year old girl, who left her home to study law in Boston. She doesn't want much from life, loves being on her own. Always worked better that way. And now that she is starting this new life journey, she has only one important rule in her heart. Do not fall in love, under any circumstance. With this rule of a shield, she embarks confident in her future. On the other hand we have the genius Aaron Andrews. He is one eager, spontaneous, very determined 19 year old, who will also study law...in Boston. He is not in a search of a special someone, yet he isn't against one either. He just never really had the time to think about it. So to sum it all up, we have a girl who doesn't want love in her life, at any cost, and a guy who doesn't really care about it. I have just one question. What happens when they meet? What happens when an unexplainable strong pull, pushes them towards each-other constantly? How do they stop this undeniable feeling? Will Kayla break her rule and make an exception? (Not likely) Will Aaron give up on this new emotion he has stumbled upon? (Not likely either) He is VERY stubborn. So what happens when secrets, lies, betrayals, pasts are discovered? What happens when the Truth comes out and turns everything upside down? Because like we all know, the truth always comes out. What happens when Kayla finds herself in a horrible position, having to make the hardest decision of her life? Will she choose love or well...love? (Kinda confusing right? Yeah I know. I'm weird.) But really, what happens? (Dual pov)Complete

Always, Never Almost (Full Version on Kindle)
Andi Doyle built her life on her own terms. She owns a coffee shop in South Boston that she's poured everything into, shows up fiercely for the people she loves, and learned one thing the hard way: she won't be an afterthought. Not for anyone. So when Gavin Byrne walks into her life with quiet intensity and a smile that makes her forget herself, she lets herself believe this one might be different. He's steady. Present. Real. Until she realizes she's been waiting for a place in his life he never fully made room for. Gavin doesn't understand what he's done until the distance between them is undeniable. He thought he had left his past where it belonged. He didn't see how easily he defaulted to keeping parts of his life separate - smoothing things over, choosing the safer explanation, minimizing what mattered most when it felt complicated. By the time he recognizes the cost of that mistake, Andi is already walking away. Fighting his way back to her is one thing. But reconciliation doesn't bring peace. The past he thought was settled resurfaces with its own agenda, threatening the life he's fought to protect and forcing Andi straight into the center of it. Now loving each other isn't the only risk. They'll have to decide whether what they're building is strong enough to withstand someone determined to tear it apart - or if some mistakes really do turn almost into never... or into always.Complete![The One and Only [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/16869358-256-k976775.jpg)
The One and Only [COMPLETED]
Andrew licks his lips and advances towards me. "You said my life will be better without you in order for me to be happy," he pauses, meeting my gaze. "But I don't see how that's possible if I can't live a life without you in it." His eyes fall to my lips for a fleeting moment. "You're my world, Hailey Adkins. And I think it's about damn time I told you." And then our worlds collide as he brings his lips down to mine. **** This is your average story about a boy and a girl who fall in love. Their love is unlikely based on their contrasting lives, but it's sunshine and rainbows for these lovebirds... Well, until it's not. **cover created by the fabulous @unique_nerd27Complete
