She was looking forward to settling down into her new, quiet life on the West Coast, that is, until she runs into Alex - again.  

Former college classmates, lab partners,  and sources of great annoyance to each other, tensions run high as Aurora and Alex try to navigate the mine field of emotions and their past disastrous love lives.

A  message from the author: Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy reading "A Formula for Love" as much as I am enjoying the writing process. I plan on updating the book once a week (probably around Friday or Saturday). Also, in case some of my previous readers are wondering, I've actually taken down a bunch of chapters because I plan on adding some more content and rearranging the order of events a bit.

All characters and plot lines are created by me. If you see anyone copying any of the things listed, contact me immediately thank you. "You think this is easy for me? That it's not killing me too? I hated running from you. I hate it. But I don't know what else to do, Beckett!" I exclaim, feeling the power rush through my veins. "These past few weeks," I sigh and wince as the memory comes roaring back, "They have been some of the most torturous that I've ever endured. I have been driving myself and everyone else insane because of it. My heart is calling out for you and as much as I wish I could, I can't just shove it in a box, lock it and ignore it like I did everything else." He doesn't speak for a long moment. The muscles in his jaw twitch as he processes my words -- as if he's forcing himself not to speak too soon. His eyes search mine, fierce yet soft all at once, like he's memorising every fracture in my voice. Then, finally, he says, "Then stop pretending you have to run from something that's already yours." He takes a slow step forward. "You think you're the only one who's been going crazy? You left for work then vanished like I meant nothing--and I let you." He pauses, as if collecting his thoughts. "Because I thought maybe that was what you needed. Space. Time. But do you know what it did to me, Alex?" His voice cracks, just slightly, as my heart cracks open a tiny bit more. "Every time my phone buzzed, I hoped it was you. Every night I laid in that bed--my bed--I wished that I'd said something different. Done something different." He sits beside me, not touching me, just there. Close enough that I feel his warmth. "I don't want you to shove this in a box. I want you to open it. Let it spill everywhere. Be messy with me, Alex, I'll take all of it--every sharp edge, every storm, if it means I get to be the one you stop running from." And then he whispers, barely audible. "Please."

The Stalker's Game by daddy523
40 parts Complete Mature
Amelia Carter is a bright and ambitious university student, eager to excel in her computer science program. When she enrolls in Professor Liam Grayson's class, she's immediately struck by his charisma and brilliance. Liam, a well-respected figure on campus, appears to be the ideal mentor-intelligent, composed, and approachable. But beneath his polished exterior lies a dangerous obsession. Liam isn't like other professors. He has a secret-he's drawn to certain women, women who fit a particular profile, and he meticulously orchestrates ways to weave himself into their lives. Amelia, with her sharp mind and quiet charm, becomes his latest fixation. He begins to study her every move, uncovering her secrets and vulnerabilities, all while maintaining the façade of the perfect professor. As Amelia starts to notice odd coincidences-bumping into Liam in unexpected places, receiving anonymous emails with details only someone close to her would know-she dismisses them as her imagination running wild. But when the lines between admiration and obsession blur, she finds herself trapped in a twisted game she never agreed to play. In a world where trust is fragile and danger lurks in plain sight, Amelia must navigate a deadly web of manipulation and deceit. Will she uncover the truth before Liam's obsession spirals out of control, or will she become another pawn in The Stalker's Game? **Please remember to READ, COMMENT and VOTE.
