Creative and optimistic artist Maxine Foster has lived her life for the passed six years doing what she loves most. Painting large canvases, while attending the best art school in her town, and working part time in the art galley. Everything is falling into place when Maxine is offered an apprenticeship at work by the owner/artist of the gallery, but her excitement and happiness is crushed  when she comes home to find the once love of her life and high school sweetheart of  six years has decided to break things off and move out of the home they once shared. She was left with a broken heart and depression that haunts her mind daily. 

     Until a familiar face by the name of Dalton Avery makes a surprise visit after all these years at Maxine's brother; Michael's  birthday with news of his recent engagement to a rich New York socialite and a climbing career. When the night progresses with celebration and alcohol the long time friends catch up, laugh, and cry. But what happens when the two in their drunken state indulge into each others moment of weakness? And what happens when both Maxine and Dalton's futures are put on the line? But more importantly what do the two have to do to prepare themselves for the illegitimate pregnancy that comes to change their worlds?  When we are handed an unexpected life changing card in our lives we have to come to make the difficult decisions to compromise what has already been sacrificed. This is Maxine and Dalton's reality.

One day you're happy, and the next, a freak accident exposes your boyfriend's dirty little secrets in the worst possible way. I lost the man I loved, my trust in people, and my home in less than one afternoon. At least I know that I've pushed past unimaginable pain before, and I can do it again. Elijah didn't break me, just my heart. 💔🔨 So, the LAST thing I needed was to run into my ex's best friend, Gray on the street. Who cares if he's hotter than lava? Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel. It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart. I thought Gray hated me, but I was wrong...There is something much, much stronger that binds our fate. 🥊💕 This book contains adult themes (aka sexy stuff and trigger content) as well as Oxford commas and the occasional grammatical error. 🥊💕 **This is a complete story that I am currently in the process of editing, so feedback, notes, and helpful comments are always welcome.

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!! Some chapters contain sexual scenes, but there's always a warning at the head of the chapter. Do not read them if you're under 18.** * Also, please beware that this story contains a lot of swearing.

Arianna Jo Coulter hates starting a new job, at twenty-five she'd been working as an ER nurse in her hometown since she graduated from nursing school. The problem with that is, she knew everyone coming in and out, making her job hard at times. One of the hardest things about being in a small town is relationships and when they end. Ari started dating Eric in college, at first he was so sweet and caring. After she graduated, got a job, he continued with his schooling due to his studying to be a doctor, they just didn't see each other as often. Eric started changing, yelling all the time, putting his hand on her in anger. So before it could go to far, Ari breaks up with him, decides it's time for a change, and applies to several different hospital's in bigger towns far from home. Problem is before she finds out if she gets a new job, her parents and younger sister are killed in a wreck, hit by a drunk driver. Now Ari is even more determined to move away. Harry Edward Styles loves his job, being the youngest doctor ever hired at John Hopkins University Hospital is something he'll never take for granted. He worked his ass off in medical school to graduate early, doing his clinicals a year before most of the others in his class. Everyone in his family knew his dream was to become the head of the ER someday, and at thirty-two, and two years of being considered one of the top doctor's at the hospital he was well on his way making his dream come true. The only thing missing is love, yeah he dates, on occasion, but nothing serious. Harry wants that heart racing, breath stealing, feeling you get when you know you meet the ONE. Until that happens he has his job and few friends. This story is 100% mine. I'll try my best to make any and all medical terms as real as possible. If I get any wrong I'm sorry. This is my first attempt at writing anything relating to this subject. Thank you for reading if you do. All the love, TopazRoze.
