Ruby was everything parents dream about having, especially with the unfair childhood she was delt. A bitter mother, an unsteady father, and a reckless brother.
Albeit all that, she had good grades, had the chance to get a scholarship, and studied at a good university. Now she's 22 years old and has a plan for herself. But life has a funny way of showing her what's in her best interests.
You know what they say... Life's a b*ch.

Practice Makes Perfect (A Romantic Comedy)
AMBY AWARDS TOP PICK 2023 ❤️ "You think I can't act like I'm into you?" He asks in a whisper. He reaches out, and strokes a finger down my cheek, and I feel myself shiver at the touch. "You think I can't convince everyone that I have feelings for you?" His eyes are darker than ever, and any sign of a smile has now vanished. The only word I can think right now to describe him is "smouldering". I have searched many great romance novels (and even more sub-standard ones), and I am yet to find a better synonym for that particular word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Watson has always played by the rules. She also constantly strives to be the best at everything she does. So when her boyfriend Declan decides to turn their temporary break into a permanent break-up, she starts to seriously doubt her girlfriend skills. Her new flatmate Ric tells Abby she's not the problem, but how can she believe *him* when he's one of the most annoying guys she's ever encountered? However, when she needs a fake boyfriend to save face in front of Declan, Ric might just be the only man she can turn to . . . Practice Makes Perfect offers you some forced proximity, enemies to lovers, a dash of fake dating, pub quizzes, flatmate frustrations . . . And - of course - an annoying ex, because doesn't everyone have at least one of those??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover by @LNRoberts1 ❤️Complete
The Dream Before the Dark ✓
Chicago, IL. January 1992. When Jenny Adler shows up to her first day at a new job, she hopes it can be as simple as it is on paper - a few short months of doing paperwork and answering phone calls before she moves on to the next thing. It was never supposed to be anything more than a mere stepping stone, never meant to be significant. But no matter how fast she runs, the past clings to her like a shadow and having to constantly see the woman she wants to forget forces her to confront the uncomfortable truths she's been trying so hard to ignore. Meanwhile, a new friendly face slowly coaxes her into opening up and for the very first time, she starts to believe that humans aren't as inherently broken as she thought them to be. What she intended to be just a tiny blot of ink on the pages of her life ushers in the beginning of a brand new chapter and makes her challenge her beliefs about what it means to be a woman in a man's world, if love truly can be found in the most unexpected and darkest places, and what to do when you realize that you've turned into the very thing you swore you'd never become. Their future was a tragedy waiting to be written, a tale of endings that came too soon after beginnings. But there was a life before the dark, a life so full and hopeful it later felt like but a dream. »»----------«« ♡ featured in @NA's general + historical fic reading list ♡ »»----------«« ♡ Started: May 17th, 2021 ♡ Completed: October 31st, 2021Complete

𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐄
𝐑𝐔𝐁𝐘 𝐉𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐒 is an outgoing and ambitious party girl. Behind that big, bright smile, is a broken person with a hidden trauma but she hides all of it with her extroverted and bubbly personality but there are moments where her past catches up with her. Even though her fights with her past are hard, she's always been able to make new friends in a minute. She's the life of the party, effortlessly charming others, and she's not afraid to put someone in their place with a quick sarcastic comment. Charming, cocky, and good enough to hide it, 𝐀𝐓𝐋𝐀𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐈 is a guy who is always noticed, the golden boy of the school. Girls wanted to be with him and boys wanted to be him. Atlas has that classic "cocky but likable" vibe. He knows he's good-looking, and he's not afraid to flaunt it. Whether it's his perfect hair, sharp jawline, or the way he fills out his clothes just right, he exudes a level of confidence which is part of his appeal. He has never met a woman he could win over with his charm except for Ruby fucking Jones. 𝐀𝐓𝐋𝐀𝐒 & 𝐑𝐔𝐁𝐘 have known each other for as long as they can remember, but they've never gotten along. From childhood, there's been a constant friction between them, almost as if they were born to clash. While their friends and families have long expected them to grow out of it, their rivalry has only intensified over the years. From day one, she's had a quick, snarky remark ready for every cocky comment he made. Atlas has always found her refusal both frustrating and, in a way, challenging. He's used to people admiring him, but Ruby never gives him the satisfaction. But what happens when he moves in front of her? Will anything happen that changes how they feel about each other or are they going to be enemies for the rest of their life?

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.
