"Do you understand statistically the chances of something going wrong? It's worse than the chances of dying in a convertible. Four point three percent of people on a plane die in a plane crash, and that's not including planes that have gone missing! There's more of a chance of me dying here than there is of me having a heart attack right now!" I say quickly, squeezing his hand tighter, and he lets out a yelp.
"When did you search all this?" He asks me, laughing a little at me.
"When my parents told me they were shipping me off on a plane to no man's land," I say, and look over at him. "By the way, the name's Giana."
"Ashton," he says, nodding in my direction.
--------------------------
Giana Reese, a seventeen year old, shipped off to live with her grandparents in Apache, Oklahoma for bad behavior.
Having never met any of her family, she is shy and timid towards the idea of spending her junior and senior year there. Nonetheless, she does, and in the process she makes new friends, and gets a job.
The problem? Her boss.
Twenty-five year old Ashton Gilling has everything. Perfect family, perfect friends. Having just bought his own bakery, he needs someone to help him around the bakery, as his sister moves and goes off to college, and the only other employee he has delivers for parties and events for him.
So, they fall for each other. No big deal, right? Wrong.
Her parents disagree with the whopping eight year age gap between them.
With only a few people fighting for her, what'll happen to the relationship? Hiding a relationship from her absent parents couldn't be that hard, could it?
'The Forbidden' takes a heartbreaking view of a young girl striving for her parent's attention, and in the process, gives her something she didn't even know she wanted : love.

Southern Charm
Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations. While others her age are embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!

A love spanning two cultures... I have lived on my family's homestead on the prairie all my nineteen years. It is all I have ever known, and it is Indian territory.

I have kept a a secret from my family since I was a little girl. One they cannot know. I made a friend at the creek one afternoon many years ago. An Indian.

Settling Slowly
2015 rolled in with a bang, and it did not have the grace to gift me with a social life that everyone in a one hundred year radius would be jealous of or that is even just the talk of the town. Instead I got myself into a complicated relationship which wasn't much talked about, a relationship that I didn't get into is talked about all the time and university is around the figurative corner. That is where you can factor in people I suppose I should call 'fans', the fascination that comes in with cutlery, pots, pans and other formerly boring things. But let us not forget that my parents are finally getting married and Mum can't shop for lace without me wanting to kill her, add in a dose of sleepless nights, invigorating kisses - which have nothing to do with the sleepless nights and a lot to do with nightmares - Harriet not knowing the meaning of the words "you're done" and Ice Ice Baby is still a thing. We're all growing up (except Dad who will still make inappropriate jokes at every inappropriate moment, some to do with what cannot be done when you're wearing a plaster cast) and holidays are being planned though some are less holiday and more a mad dash to find somewhere to live out in the big wide world without our parents. Life might be moving on, but I still go to McDonald's late at night with my friends. Some things at least don't change. Sequel to: Falling Fast CompleteComplete
Life's A Rollercoaster
(Completed/ BEING REWRITTEN!!!) "Yeah, tell me about it" Hayden voices out as she leans more into Max. I smile at the two, and look over at each of my friends one by one, and for a split second I forget all my problems, and I just remember all the adventures we went through. My smile got bigger, these people are my new family. It was hard to get where I am today but in the end it was worth it if I can stay here with the people I love and never look back. I know its never that simple but why focus on something that could happen and in the process I miss the here and now. I hold up my drink my smile never falling. I know where I belong and that's with them. I belong here with my boyfriend holding me, my friends laughing and smiling. I belong in the now, and I'm ok with that.

They decided to take things slow and not rush into things. Soooo Fast forward a year and Elia is now 18 and fresh out of high school. She is a brown skinned girl. She isn't small or petite, shes 5'8, big brown eyes, almost always wearing braids, curvy, big boobs, and a big butt (not like really big but it fits her frame perfectly).

But for some reason after graduation her luck changes. What happens when she finally meets Rodger and his very sexy son Xander? Is she ready for all these feelings she feels, so fast?

Our Secret To Keep.
A delayed flight. A stranger at a hotel bar. A one night stand. Stranded in New York for an extra night than planned due to a delayed flight, I needed to find a way to keep myself occupied, and I soon found that something. It was easy enough when the handsome stranger introduced himself to me as Kade. It has been a while since I have had a hot one-night stand, and he reminds me how fun it can be. There are no questions, expectations or reasons to see one another again. What I don't expect is our night together to come around and bite me in the ass. When I arrive at a family dinner with my parents and two older sisters to celebrate my return home to Scotland, he is sitting right there with them. Not only is he my father's new business partner, but he is my sister's blind date set up by my parents. We pretend to be strangers because things would become complicated if we didn't. No one ever needs to know about what happened between us. My dad would freak out if he found out about us because he is overly protective of me as the youngest, and with the age gap between Kade and me, my father wouldn't approve. My relationship with my older sister is already strained; I don't need to make things worse between us. Even though he doesn't seem interested in her and he tries his best to show that it could still make all hell break lose. My sister hates losing. She always gets what she wants. I should stay away from him, but it is easier said than done with the tension and chemistry between us, and we struggle to fight against it. No matter what happens, it needs to be our secret to keep.
Racer's Forbidden Angel
It's been a while since the Angels managed to save Nix and Riv and dealt with the aftermath of what happened. All moving on with their lives as much as possible. All but Ari, where she remains mentally trapped, grieving for her lost twin, blaming herself for his death and avoiding all the normal obstacles of college along the way. Including feelings for the one person she can never have. Her brother's best friend, who's been off limits since she can remember, but who she has loved ever since she was young, no matter how disastrous it ended. No matter that he broke her heart. He's the one she wants, but she thinks she can never have. Until he kisses her one night, years later, and she remembers just why she fell for him. Leaving her with a problem... To take the risk and fall again or walk away from love forever. Michael: I know I shouldn't. I shouldn't go after my best friend's little sister; he warned us all away when she was a kid. At the time, the warning stuck. None of us even thought about her like that, me included. But it got harder when she got older and we spent more time together. Especially when I figured out it went both ways. I'd tried to write it off as a one-sided...lust, but that hope was crushed when she came back to town after being away for college for a few years, grieving and guilty about her twin's death a few years back. When she kissed me one night and then seemed to keep watching me, I knew I was done for. I knew I shouldn't go after her, that I should stick to my friend's warning and stay away, but sometimes it's best when it's not allowed, and she's not only the most forbidden but the sweetest as well. One kiss and we were both hooked. All bets were off. We were screwed. The heart wants what it wants, and when it's forbidden? When it's forbidden, it tastes all the sweeter and can sometimes be almost impossible to resist. A Trial of Spades and Angels NovelComplete
