"You're almost perfect, but you're not the one," said every guy Alaina "Lanie" DeLuca has ever dated. 

I'm pretty sure I'm cursed. You see, there's this thing that always seems to happen to me. I'll date a guy and then something crazy will happen so we end up breaking up. I mean, that's normal, but what happens next, never fails. The next girl that a guy who dates me meets is 99.9% going to be "the one".  First, there was Caleb, my rival. Then there was Danny, the guy who almost ruined everything. Next, there was Tyler, he was supposed to be the one who fixed my heart. But then I met Aiden, the resident bad boy and his best friend Chase, the gorgeous knight in shining armor. I was going through a "phase" and along came Charlie, the handsome older man. Things never seemed to go my way, but that's when I met Bill, the mysterious one. 

And then, just when I was about to give up, it happened to me, I found him, I found the one.

I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy by Beautiful_Tragedy8

CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

Too Close by starryillusions

Available on Amazon! http://hyperurl.co/r93gn4 Wattpad's version is a draft. There may be minor typos and errors. Olivia was the laid back, girl next door in Charlotte favorited for her charms. Olivia never really paid any attention to the guys in school and she's never let herself fall in love. Ever. With college just months away, she had no interest in beginning a new relationship. Besides, she just wanted to enjoy her senior year with minimal distractions. Then her adoptive parents decide to foster an arrogant, irritating guy, who frustrated her to no end. But then tension, oh sweet tension, grows between them whenever the other is near. How is Olivia supposed to fight the inevitable if they live alone in the same house? How is she supposed to not become attached or fall for his cool, flirty, and sometimes reckless personality? Especially when they both forget about the rules. Tyler didn't expect anyone to want to foster him, but SGA was getting old anyway. With his father out of his life, it was time to finally live it without risking getting arrested for doing anything else illegal. Olivia wasn't supposed to become part of his world. How could she? With his past following him like his shadow... ~~~~ Listen to it on Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/B0B14NK2V4/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-308441&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_308441_rh_us Paperback on Amazon: http://hyperurl.co/r93gn4 Wattpad's version is a draft.

Chaotic Brains by sayalagurupreethika

✨✨✨✨ I was looking at the guy and he was still asleep. I leaned towards and slowly pushed away a few strands of his hair from his forehead and gently tapped on his arm. After a few taps, his eyes fluttered and opened but squinted his eyes to adjust to the brightness of the room. ✨✨✨✨✨✨ This is a story that takes place in a college. It's about two strangers who met for the first time in a weird way but end up being friends. This is a journey of six young people getting ready to be released into the real world. They go through a lot of ups and downs. Deal with their own issues and help their friends deal with theirs. They realize that nobody is what they look on the outside and definitely not perfect. They are gonna be some cliches, some plot twists and humor. Some cute lovey-dovey stuff and occasional mature content.Also will have stuff related to mental health and LGBTQ. So if this stuff bothers you, you might as well not start reading it. So this is sort of a trigger warning for those who are uncomfortable with any of the said content. And if you choose to read it, thank you, hope you enjoy it ✨ This is my first book. Hope you enjoy it ✨

Let Me Go ✔️ by TonishaLeigh

*COMPLETED* "you know, you kind of have a bad reputation around here." I stated with my arms crossed. He wore a sexy smirk and took a step forward, and then another. "do you believe any of it?" He asked in a husky voice as he stopped in front of me. The look in his eyes was smoldering and I began to feel hot all over. "should I believe it?" I asked in a meek voice. He chuckled once, still sporting that same sexy smirk. He reached out and moved my hair behind my ear and uncrossed my arms. "i think if you believed it, you wouldn't be here right now." His voice came out rich and smooth. "so, do you trust me?" The look he was giving me was starting to make me sweat. My words seemed to be failing me so I nodded awkwardly in response. He bit his lip and pulled me into him. He brought his lips to my ear. "and you won't regret it." College freshman, Nova Parker, is excited to start her first semester of college; brand new experiences, more opportunites, and another step in the direction of what she wants to do in life. But Nova made a promise to herself that she will focus only on her studies and not boys. But the week before she starts her first classes, she meets an extremely good looking guy; who she is warned to stay away from. And of course, he's not the only gorgeous guy on campus. Nova intends on keeping the promise she made to herself; but she begins to wonder if she can.

Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel.

Our faces were getting closer and closer as I snapped out "I'm not staring. What do you want Anderson?" He faked hurt. "What kind of a question is that? I'm just-" as he was interrupted by me. "Just say it. I don't have whole day." "Grumpy as always... I want... you" He said leaning closer to my face. I could feel the heat between us. God he's so good looking! "Seriously Zach? Get. A.

Pure Hate by ineslepeuch

What would you do if your boyfriend broke up with you for someone else? Even worse. She is that girl. Popular, shallow and horribly perfect. The one who thinks she's above everyone else and that all the guys have fallen for her. So I decided to hit him harder. The only thing that would piss him off more than seeing me with another guy would be seeing me with this guy. Because no one likes it when the enemy takes away something that used to be ours, not even when we left it behind as if it wasn't worth a penny. He hates him and it would be the perfect revenge. It really would if I didn't hate him even more. Growing up with the person you hate most in the world just because he's your brother's best friend is hard enough. Then imagine asking him to fake date you in order to make another guy jealous... Hopeless, huh? Well, consider me a hopeless cause because now, is the time for my revenge. 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟 𓆝 This story contains mature themes and inappropriate language, not suitable for all audiences.

Starting With You by AngieMahlke

Romance trope: best friends to lovers. "You're supposed to be my best friend, but all I can think about is kissing you again." TEDDY: I somehow got stuck in the unfortunate "one of the guys" category. It was on accident, naturally falling into this role since my childhood best friend was a boy. The crush on my best friend was also an accident. He's always seen me as one of the guys. That is, until the one drunken night he didn't. The one that nearly ruined everything a decade ago. JENSEN: It was much easier when I didn't notice how hot my best friend is. It would be even better if the rest of the jackoffs in our small town would stop noticing too. I can still remember all the details from our night together years ago. The night we never talk about, yet it's still so fresh in my mind. But will a secret scar from a past relationship ruin everything? [This is BOOK ONE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.] **Title formerly The Rest of Forever**
