"It's so simple," I say. "All we have to do is pretend we're in love with each other. You know, hold hands, share Eskimo kisses and all that crap. And at the same time, we'll destroy Jackson and Kristina's relationship. Make them think that their not right for each other. And next thing you know, you'll have Kristina, and I'll have Jackson, and everything will be how its supposed to be. Are you with me?"
"Fine, I'll do it." He leans in close to my ear. "But don't get too attached. Remember this relationship is strictly business."

Nothing to lose
My best friend Greyson McNamara and I have been partners in crime for a while now. Pranks, sneaking out to go to parties, joy riding in our parents' cars, all that crazy teen stuff, we made a pact to do together. And surprise surprise, dating each other was never on that list. I mean it's not like Grey is a bad looking guy or anything. Wink wink. Now back to that no dating thing. For years, we heard about how we would be a cute couple and how we are perfect for each other. Of course, we always laughed it off until one day we didn't. Our senior year has ended with two back to back breakups and all we can think is that we have nothing to lose. That includes us thinking that it can't hurt to try to date each other for the summer before college. We made a promise to each other that we'll stay friends no matter what. Like I said we have nothing to lose. But what if I'm wrong?Complete

In due time (Completed)
"You were worried about me, Specs?" He smirked. "No, Tyler. I hoped that someone cut up your corpse and fed it to paranas. Obviously I was, you idiot! I'm a doctor. Worrying about people is kind of programmed into my system. It's a curse if you ask me," I surprised myself a lot more than I thought was possible with my answer. And what did he do? Laugh! He fucking laughed! Not full on rolling- on- the- floor laughter but a laugh nonetheless. "This isn't funny, Tyler." "It kind of is. Almost a month ago, I would've sworn that you hated me. Be careful, Specs," he squinted down at me, "or you might actually sound as if you like me." I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself. I was concerned. Don't confuse that with affection. It's two very, very different things." *** When you think that all is not lost in the world. That not all men are pricks and that not all sushi is bad. When you think that there is a light, no matter how dim, at the end of the tunnel. When you think that life isn't the ruthless bitch you've always thought it was... It turns around and bites you in the ass. When you think that the past will always and forever remain where it should be... It comes at you from every direction. Like a violent tsunami destroying everything...and everyone in it's path. Can you change what happened? I wish. Can you stop what's going to happen? God! I really hope so.Complete
Faking With You
Romance Trope: fake dating. When he offers to be my fake fiancé to get my parents off my back, I don't take into consideration what could happen once we start acting the part of being in a relationship. It feels like a safe plan since it's Finn, the goofy playboy not looking for anything serious, but the more layers I peel back, the more I discover about the real man hiding behind the sarcasm and witty retorts. And when we decide to take the relationship into the bedroom, stripping off more than just our clothes, I find it harder and harder to protect myself. The only control I seem to have is my one rule: no kissing. But I have a confession: I maybe, kind of, sort of (read: really fucking badly) want him to kiss me. Once that final barrier is breached, though, then what? Surely the fake status of our relationship can't be more than just that - fake. Right? [This is BOOK THREE 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.]Complete
Residuals (COMPLETED)
"I just can't stand Ben anymore." She admitted truthfully, and maybe she would have kept this information to herself if she wasn't drunk. "All he does is drink and plays video games, we don't sleep together, he hasn't touched me in almost a year I'm 35 years old and I know my marriage is failing." She vented to her best friends. She'd been holding that in for months, she didn't want to continuously tell her friends how unhappy she was in her marriage, she just didn't want to be that friend. "He doesn't come to anything the kids are involved in, but you know who is there?" Isabella asked. "Ambrose." Monica answered noticing it herself, she made sure to make it to her god children's games and or dance competitions whenever she wasn't working. She noticed that Ambrose was at all the games and dance competitions cheering them on, he was always helping them practice, he was good with all 3 of Isabella's kids it was hard not to notice how they'd clung onto him. "Is it wrong that I still felt the same way I did in high school?" Isabella asked, she'd finally admitted it out loud and she knew for sure in that moment she was indeed still in love with him, and she fought this hard. "Izzy, you still love Ambrose?" Tory asked, shocked.Complete

Sex Toy(Book One)
"I ain't had pussy in a minute", He said licking his pink plum lips at me. I am to lost in that one move, I didn't realize what he said. "Come again, say what?!?!", I said as I replayed his sentence. Fuck I gotta do with him not getting the cookie? "You are my sex toy until my thousands of dollars is paid off", he said as he eyed my body. Sex Toy? What the fuck? Is dude on something? Gotta be! "What's a sex toy?", I asked confused. I think I had a clue what it is but I just don't want to think that way. "I have sex with you when ever I want it, how I want it", he said making me take a double take. Ariane Jackson was always the good girl with the loud mouth. She was the girl who didn't look forward to men so soon, hell she didn't look forward to sex. She was happy with her life(well somewhat of it). That all changes at one party when she meets Chris. She's framed for a crime she hadn't done by Chris; a ruthless, cruel, heartless, drug dealer. What will happen to the once goody?Complete
Broken Soul
Chelsea Madison, 25, had a story book life. She grew up in Seattle, Washington with two parents who loved her very much, gave her everything that she ever needed and wanted but were careful not to spoil her. She was a gentle, loving soul. She cared about her fellow man never giving thought for herself. She graduated from the University of Washington and got a job straight away working for Sinclair Industries . Her father and mother both thought it a good idea for Chelsea to meet, fall in love with and marry the CEO of Sinclair Industries, Christian Sinclair, a billionaire playboy. Chelsea was very naive about anything in his world. Their marriage was a story for the ages; big wedding, sexy honeymoon and once they came back to reality everything changed. Christian was not a nice man. After enduring two years of emotional, physical and verbal abuse at the hands of her husband, her life was thrown into turmoil after his death. Since she was his only beneficiary she had sole control of Sinclair Industries. She met an older man at a charity event by the name of Angelo Silvano. She'd had heard he was a honest man so Chelsea decided to sell him the company but maintained employment there. Silvano has twin sons, Adrian and Aiden, age 30. Would they be able to show her what love is really about? Would she let them in? Would they still want her after they find out about her past? Can these men, together, heal her broken soul and show her how worthy she is? WOULD APPRECIATE ANY COMMENTS! THANKS!Complete
Hello August, Please Be Good To Me
I look out into the parking lot and squint to make sure I'm not going crazy. Walking up with a bouquet of flowers is Justin. He's wearing a muscle tee, and my eyes settle on the part of his tattoo that's not covered up by the plastic holding the flowers. When he reaches me, I feel my face heat up and before I can say anything, he hands me the yellow roses. "I think we need a do over, and I'm not letting you go. But um...here's to friendship until then. If you'll accept." He looks so flustered and unsure of himself as I eye the flowers but don't take them immediately. It takes a long time for me to both find my voice and lose my pride. Finally I do something neither of us expect, and hug him by his neck. "Okay," I whisper, and don't let go.Complete
Zoned Barriers: Justin Bieber (Book #2 of Perky Pursuits Series)
{Read "Misery of You" before reading this} Holiday and Justin. They are complete opposites, clearly, but they sort of made amends...sort of. It's clear to everyone that they aren't a 'thing' but they certainly aren't close either. Sure, the occasional, flirtatious Justin may not understand 'boundaries', but Holiday is a loose-cannon waiting to happen. "You're still pretty hot when you're angry, you know." It's not rocket science, it's just the way certain things are. So, it's not a big deal, even though it seems that. Why can't thing be simple?Complete
