*** This book is dedicated to my Boogie Bear & all those who have loved & lost ***
Sometimes the path we are on is not the path to our final destination even when we think we have it figured out. We can fight to stay on the route we feel is best but life and tragedy can easily derail us. Life is what will push and twist that road ahead towards the intended direction of main roads. It is up to us to decide which forks and side streets to take.....
Just over a year ago, Addie lost the love of her life leaving her behind with a shattered heart and an inconsolable soul. As everyone in her world begins to accept the loss of John, the boy her father took in as his own, whom had fallen in love with Addie, she simply refused to accept his death. She lives her life day by day to ease her father's worries but deep down she is a shell of who she once was. Having never believed her John was dead, she keeps her belief of hope a secret and looks for any sign for proof of life. With her family pressing her about her denial and the odds highly against her, she can do nothing but put on a mask for them.
As a chance meeting brings her to a fork in the road yet again, she has a choice to make. Follow her heart and chase a ghost or remain herself a ghost. How can she find the light at the end of the tunnel? Will the headstrong girl she's always been prevail and find the answers she thinks she seeks or will she be the girl everyone expects her to be and accept the fate handed to her?

Midnight Rose (completed)
*WATTPAD FEATURED & HOT STORY* (Completed) My grandfather had once told me that life was an unpredictable beast-one moment calm with a full belly and heavy eyes, and the next, digging its paws in the dirt, snarling just before it took down its next victim. Until recently, I would argue with that notion, listing all the reasons why my life was as predictable as the tides coming and going. While I listened, I was young and never put much thought into a lot of the things my grandfather told me, but all that changed when the Hunters moved back to Sandpoint. More specifically, Wes Hunter. That was when the impossible became possible and the predictable became unpredictable. As Abigail Rose looked down on her new world, she couldn't deny the things she had seen and all the things she had learned. There were days she wished she could go back to her old life, but she had changed. Evolved. She was no longer a love-struck seventeen year old. She was a chosen leader and her path was undeniable. The black and white was fading to gray, and the only thing between mortals and immortals was her. "Dani Hart's compelling writing style had me hooked from start to finish. I read this book and I am already hanging out for the sequel! This is one of those books that I could gush on about for ages so let me just say that I highly recommend this book to everyone that loves YA- it's definitely a must read!" ~Land of Literature "Midnight Rose is addicting and so good. It's a start of a new world, with so much going on. Author Dani Hart tells the story so beautifully, with teases of so many things, that's to come. As she gives us bits of pieces of what we can look forward to, I was left so excited for the next installment of the Midnight Series." ~Four Chicks Flipping Pages All Rights ReservedComplete
What She Left Behind ✔️
"I'm assuming that little speech was meant for me?" "It was meant for everyone." "But mostly me. Is it because I called her selfish earlier? Are you still hung up on that?" "I'm not hung up on anything, Gemma." "Then why would you go up there and say that?" I demand, my voice rising above a whisper. "Of all days, why would you choose today to publicly humiliate me?" "Today isn't about you, Gemma," Bowie says, catching me by surprise. "Today is about Raelyn, and the fact that we all failed her." ----------- 𝕲𝖊𝖒𝖒𝖆 𝕭𝖊𝖆𝖚𝖋𝖔𝖗𝖙's life is turned upside down the day she gets the call that her best friend, Raelyn, took her own life. No note, no explanation, just an empty bottle of pills atop a mountain of unanswered questions. As far as Gemma knew, Raelyn wasn't depressed. Why did she do this? Why did she kill herself? While searching for answers, she forms a bond with Evangeline, Raelyn's six-year-old daughter. Gemma soon learns that Raelyn didn't just leave behind a daughter, though. She also left a stack of secrets so high that Gemma fears she never knew her best friend at all. She's so desperate to find out the truth that she may get more than she bargained for.

Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?

Don't Fall Not Yet
Moving from Mexico to the wealthy, perfect suburbs of New York, María Hernandez's plan was simple: finish high school, keep her head down, and blend into the background. That plan lasted until she met Marcus Whitmore. Marcus is the town's golden boy-the star quarterback, popular, and untouchable. But the easy smile is a lie. His eyes hold a constant, dangerous storm, his home is full of secrets, and he has sworn off feeling anything real for anyone. The moment their worlds collide, they don't just fall; they break open. María is the calm he never knew he needed, and he's the dangerous chaos she should have run from the second she saw him. This is Don't Fall, Not Yet. Told in dual POV, this story is about the fight for identity, the ugly price of loyalty, and the devastating violence of secrets. It's about the impossible choice between protecting the people you love... and destroying them completely. Mature Audience Warning: 18+ Although María and Marcus's journey begins in high school, it will follow them into adulthood. Expect explicit content, strong language, messy emotions, and raw moments that don't shy away from the real challenges of growing up. I'm doing my best to reflect the richness and challenges of both Mexican and Anglo-American Elite experiences with honesty and care. If I ever miss the mark, please (gently) let me know-I'm always open to learning and doing better. Please read, share, vote, follow, and leave a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts as you join María and Marcus on this unforgettable journey. © Scarlett Moon, 2025 This is a work of fiction. All rights reserved.

I notice how his lip curls up at the edge when he sees me. A soft breeze blows his scent across the room, and I can't think. Roses and salty ocean waves fill my nostrils. Add sunlight to the mix- which shouldn't have a smell but Luna, he smells like it- and I'm pretty sure if I could open my mouth, I'd be drooling. 'Mate.' My wolf whispers, giddy. I scramble back up the stairs. ____________________ Opening up when something terrible happens is hard. Near impossible.

But having her mate- that she doesn't want- show up on her doorstep could change everything. Love, pain, twisted agendas and more...Jessamine goes through it all.

DIVINE LOVE
Hello everyone.... So this is my first story content that I write. This story is totally based on fiction...in which have a lot of fantasy, mystery, romance and thriller...it's just an imagination. If you start reading, so you can't stop to yourself to know...what's the next? "This is the tale of a girl and a boy-two souls bound by destiny. She is a girl who carries endless warmth within her heart, a softness spun from dreams and devotion. Her love for him is fierce yet tender, an intensity that could melt even the coldest of hearts. She alone holds the power to turn his silence into song, his cruelty into care, and his heartlessness into a divine, love-soaked tenderness. For him, she is not just love-she is transformation itself. He, on the other hand, is a man carved from stone-ruthless, unfeeling, feared by the world. His heart knows no gentleness, no mercy, no emotion... except when it beats for her. For her, he burns with a passion that borders on obsession, a divine fire that consumes only in her presence. To the world he remains untouchable, cold and cruel, but before his little beloved, he softens, melts, and surrenders-becoming hers in the truest, most profound way." "Both of them had walked through tragedies so dark that their hearts were scarred forever. Yet, neither of them knew that life was about to change completely. From enemies, they would slowly turn into lovers-destined for each other. When together, they created a kind of magic that only true souls can make. They became each other's biggest support system, healing one another in ways no one else ever could. In every prayer, they carried each other's name, and with every heartbeat, they kept falling deeper into a divine and eternal love." I need your love and support. I am a little bit nervous but it's gives me an excitement also and some another level of happiness. Interesting twists on the way.
