When 23 year old Ava Monroe decides to abandon her life in America and move to Italy for as long as her heart desires, all she wants is to start and finish the book she has been struggling to write for so long while looking down from a perfect balcony to the life of Italy unravelling beneath her. 

But what can someone that doesn't believe in love fill a book with? What could she possibly write that moves her in a way that nothing else can ever do? 

Perhaps, in more ways than one, a handsome stranger can alter her world-view throughout the roller coaster of her visit which changes her beliefs forever.

Ava, fleeing from grief takes the trip of a lifetime where she meets an ordinary man... as far as she knows. A second love story - I've had this story in my head for over a year and I'm finally getting it out. Writing a summary of it is harder than writing the dang thing! So here is what you need to know. -It's a love story -It deals with death (Not Harry) -It is MATURE in theme (including non-Harry smut) 18+ please -The character of Harry is from my imagination of him if I were to meet him today on vacation, so yes famous, post 1D solo Harry -This is a fun(ny) story If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea feel free to skip. Read at your own risk. I will put trigger warnings before any heavy topics but ultimately this book is about hope. Its a safe space happy for criticism but remember to be kind This story is pure fiction, dirty dirt fiction ;) Not a real reflection on any real person/s. +++Started October 2022 I will publish in sections the whole thing is written I'm just still fixing and editing so no long waits.

Not Without You by reannekennedy17

NOTE: I REVISED BEFORE YOU GO, SO THERE WILL BE SOME MISINFORMATION IN THIS ONE REGARDING LEON & ELIZA'S RELATIONSHIP. I WILL FIX IT SOON, THOUGH! * I would HIGHLY recommend reading BEFORE YOU GO and THE ONE YOU FIGHT FOR before you read this novel. This novel is a criss-cross between them and will include some major spoilers!* Leo Sangster has a bucket list tucked away safely, folded between the pages of his favourite book. And it's been there for nearly fifteen years. He hasn't tried to read it. He can't. He won't. Because that one piece of paper is a large piece of his father -- someone he's never met and never will be able to meet. But as Leo finds himself heading to Whistler, BC to explore where his father was born and who he was before he died in a car accident, he begins to wonder if that bucket list could give him any clues. Aria Madden is the daughter of the now-retired, famous NHL player, Luke Madden. Anyone would consider that a lot to live up to, but Aria is content with her current position. In January, she'll be competing in the Winter Olympics for Canada's women's hockey team. Over the summer, she's going to be training in Whistler, BC with the rest of the team, all while staying at her aunt's house. But even though it seems like she has everything under control, Aria is stuck in a whirlwind of anxiety. While she's happy and excited that her hard work has paid off, she's worried she won't live up to her father's legacy. When Leo and Aria cross paths on a fateful summer day, they're thrown into the chaos of an unforgettable summer adventure -- filled with charming and mysterious people, astounding views, and alpine air. But as the summer continues on and the heat is amped up, undeniable chemistry begins to brew between the two of them. But what happens when summer ends and they have to go their separate ways? Will they give up on the chemistry or will they find a way to make it work?

Blossom and Bloom Graceful and Tender - She couldn't believe her ears, or her eyes. Her husband, the man she loves, the father of her unborn baby, was asking for a divorce. "Mason," She stammered, but he held his hand up in the air. "I'll arrange a place for you and our child to stay, I'll send weekly support for the child. Just sign the papers," He urged her and handed her the pen. She took it hesitantly, hoping that this was only a dream, she prayed to wake up. "I love you," She whispered and signed her name on the allotted space. And though she would miss him, she knew better than to fight for a man's love. Somehow, he didn't love her anymore. It hurt her heart, but once a man made up his mind, nothing could make him change his mind. She even knew that much. She placed the pen down and walked to the door.
