My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind.

The Book Boyfriend by ellarose12

Rebecca Adams has been reading books since before she could walk, or at least her mother was reading them to her until she was able to do it herself. Books are her life, her fantasy world derived from the millions of words she had read over the years and her reality suffered for it. School wasn't quite the place Sweet Valley High made it out to be, the night never revealed the mythical creatures from her Dracula obsession and of course there was never a guy who matched up to her ultimate book boyfriend, Brock McDougal. The main character from the Lyrics to my Heart series had it all and while she didn't think she set her standards too high, hitting twenty two had left her single, practically a virgin and the joke of all her friends. Then something magical happens and Brock enters her life as a living, breathing person – no longer something from her imagination, will Rebecca be sorely disappointed or find a happy ever after? -- Please be aware this story contains the following: adult themes, drug/alcohol references and a bad boy rocker you may just fall in love with too!

My Girl by anya_jayvyn

Cal Jackson's new life as a rockstar fails to account for one thing: the existence of the girl he loves. ***** "What are you thinking about?" she asks. "A song," I say. "A new song." I stare at the ocean as I sing the song that I wrote, something that comes from the darkest place of my heart. "Do you even know how gifted you are?" she whispers. "You're destined to be someone big, Cal." "Really?" "Yeah." ***** She's perfect in every way. Beautiful. Smart. Her bright future is right there in front of her eyes. While here I am. Ruined. No college, let alone a future. Just an image of a wannabe rockstar with tattoed arms and an old guitar. I knew that our story would be no less than that tragic Romeo and Juliet shit the moment I laid my eyes on her, but still, I can't resist her. The moment she whispers my name, "Cal," I lose all sanity. She becomes my melody, my lyrics, the song that keeps echoing in my ears. People call her Mia. I call her my Amy, her name crafted above my beating heart, tattoed on my skin. Amelia Davis is my girl. Mine. And only mine. © 2021 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.
