life love romance

When Beauty meets the Beast where love weathers storms.

 A mother-a friend-a provider-a giver- a fighter, yet flawed. 27 year old Shawnee carries the weight of these titles well as she takes on the daily task of caring for her 6yr old son, while trying to find her way in love and life. 

With dreams beyond her nurses aide background, Shawnee takes a leap of faith in the middle of crisis. As her world shatters around her, with some of the brokenness still intact-she falters. Not for long does she tread the line between happiness and tragedy, before reality sets in. 


Odell's youth was spent causing chaos all whilst attempting to put the pieces of his life back together. At the age of 18 he's forced out of his childhood home, in the aftermath of leading a life no parent would wish for their child. His own indiscretions bring about further poor decision making, but loneliness cures the bite of his rugged outlook. 

Determined to grow from his mistakes, Odell distances himself in the extreme. Over 500 miles away from what was comfortable and known to him, he clears a murky path for himself in Atlanta, Georgia. It's there that he discovers that what he needed was in closer proximity than he'd thought. 

The seemingly odd pair finds comfort in their ability to bond and adapt without much firsthand knowledge of each other. However, what brings them together, may very well be a part of what shifts their relationship for the better and worst.

The fights are escalating. Gemma is a quiet girl -she keeps to herself out of fear of being judged for her mixed race, freckled skin and wild hair.

She wants a love like what her Grandmother had before escaping to the USA. When Gemma is befriended by Spencer, Eve and Abel she's unsure it's the best decision, but they've promised to help her find a way to help her folks, so it's worth a shot. Except, instead of trying to help her folks Gemma starts falling for Spencer. How could she be so selfish? Is it though? Is it selfish of Gemma to secure her own happiness even when her parents' marriage seems to be crumbling apart? Gemma must learn to face her life head-on if she is going to successfully bake Crown Jewel Muffins, cope with 12 new freckles, survive heatstroke inducing smiles and save her family from disaster.

That all changes on the day she goes for a walk on a nearby hiking trail in her home town of Berkshire, Vermont. Suddenly, Mable is trapped in an enchanted castle, with magical servants and their "Master", a man turned hideous by a terrible curse. Only true love can free them all from their prison, and the castle residents are convinced Mable is the one who will save them all.

She makes new friends, and even finds herself falling for the man behind the beast. But will she have to give up all that's important to her in order to be truly happy?

Less Than Nothing by adoringscripts

"What are we doing Alex?" He breathes against my lips. That's too sensible of a question, so I ignore it. My brain has yet to return to my body, and right now that is the last thing I'm worried about. "Stay." I whisper against his mouth, my words flowing without any thought. "Stay?" He sits up fully, which results in me straddling him. His expression is full of curiosity and mild shock. "Like stay stay?" I don't respond with words. I'm afraid if I open my mouth, I'll start to overthink and I can't afford that. Instead, I pull my shirt over my head. I do it confidently, in spite of my boldness starting to dissipate as the seconds pass. Ryan swallows. His eyes trail down to my breasts, before he looks at me again with a look I can't name. "Are you sure?" He stares into me. "Promise me you're sure." "I'm sure." I tell him softly. "I promise." ******* ALEXANDRA MONET is a twenty two year old girl, freshly out of college.

An agreement that is supposed to be void of any and all feelings, but over time it becomes a lot harder than expected. It's supposed to mean nothing. Less than nothing, but unfortunately some things just don't go as planned. Warning: Mature scenes and language.
