2 months ago, if you had told me I'd be in this rather compromising situation with that ultra fit, but bizarre new guy from the beach coffee shop, I would have granted you with the news that you were in fact insane and you could graciously be on your way.
But here we are.
Kai Matthews, you are one peculiar guy mi amigo.
~~~~~~~~~
Isla Simpson is not particularly special. In fact, she is beyond average. Her face blends into the crowd, missed by the world. Even her height is equivalent to the size of the average UK female. She has no disastrous rags-to-riches tale, no murderers lurking around from a past life, no skeletons in the closet- she's plainer than miss 'Plain Jane'.
Kai Matthews, however, is the stark opposite of dear Isla here. The 'Spiciest' of all the Janes, if you will. His face most certainly stands out in a crowd, all eyes drawing to him in a plea to soak up each complex detail of his visage before he passes by. His height is most certainly beyond the average UK female and his story is full of skeletons in wardrobes and bedside tables.
Kai arrived in St. Bishops in hopes for a quiet life... but with a face and aura like that- I don't know what else he was expecting when the most exciting thing these people get is the annual Christmas and cheese festivals.
Join Isla and Kai on a journey granted once in a lifetime- one of adventure and discovery, both of themselves and each other... and of St. Bishops of course.

The Perks Of Falling For Your Bestfriend✔
"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." -Pride and Prejudice. -Jane Austen. Allison Waters is a girl as simple as they come, atleast that's what she believed. And to be honest she did enjoy a simple life for the past two years. All she wanted to pass her senior year in peace and be happy in life. What she wasn't expecting was to be back in town with a certain Greek God of a Devil acting more annoying than ever... Calling him tall dark and handsome would be the understatement of the century. He is the arrogant quarterback and one of the most popular guys in shcool. He is as I mention previously the reincarnation of the devil in his actions and a Greek God in the looks department, with startling blue eyes, a sinful body and gorgeous hair, who may at different times define the words Cocky and Adorable. Quite a contrast isn't it? Well that's who he is, or for that matter how we all are... a bit of both. Ashton Fobes is Alli's bestfriend, well Ex-Bestfriend, he is also her arch nemisis, her sworn enemy, but he is also the only one who can make her push her limits and challenge her in ways she never thought possible. Soon they were playing with Cupid's arrows trying to set up the unlikeliest couple imaginable, but what they seemed to have forgotten was Fate's wierd sense of humor and so it turned out while they were playing with Cupid's Arrows, he was aiming them at these two instead. Ps: I have now unpublished most of the chapters. Highest Ranking: 30, 35, 50 in teen fiction. 32, 66 in ChickLit. 46, 47, 78 in humor.Complete
that's us
||We are like boomerangs. No matter what happens, We always come back, Because that's us|| •••••••••••••••••• Jessica Grey, the long haired brunette who loves too much and can't control it. Even for the wrong people, she'd go to hell and back to make them happy. That was a weakness of hers. And after a year of the worst, coming back to school felt like the worst idea possible. She knew that with her ex around, she couldn't be happy. That was until she met Ben Smith. The New boy. You'd notice his green eyes from miles away, his brunette curtained hair hovering just above his eyebrows, the way he smiles is just so contagious. As soon as you see him, you'll think that he's the twin of Louis Partridge but unfortunately he's not. The both of them together is 'goals' as most would say. They're weird, hilarious, childish and much more when around each other. But most of their time is spent arguing over the most stupidest things. Give them a carrot and they'd argue about that. It was the worst part of it all. Jessica having trust and commitment issues whilst Ben was trying so hard to help her through it. It's all just shambles. But still, no matter what, they come back for more.. •••••••••••••••••••••••

"Okay, Lillian, so this is what going to happen next." He crossed his arms. "I'm going to let you go and you-" he held his finger at me, "- will tell no one about this." I bobbed my head. "And if I hear even a single word uttering from your mouth about us..." He gestured between him and Toby. "I will-" "- Kill you." I finished for him and give him a thumbs up. "Got it."

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. 𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ➃ 𝕠𝕗 ➃ - ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.

Why come for me? Student/teacher
AN- Hi, this is only half of the book, the rest of this books on my other profile @emmadunn98 and it's the same name and front cover as it is on here as well! Thanks for looking at this page, hope you give my book a go I really appreciate it! Xx My names Clara. I'm just a 15, nearly 16 year old girl from England; rainy, cold England. I'm not pretty or the perfect weight or have the nicest things, even though many people would think I did with my dad owning his own business. I've got some problems at home and my sisters pretty dependent on me, but what can I do, other than take it all in my stride? But I'm just me, with some added attitude. So why did the new hot teacher come for me? I'm Scott Myer, just out of uni and got a brand new job. Hopefully this job will keep me straight headed so I can have back the only thing I want from back home. I've started today and already I'm falling back into my old ways, hopefully teaching in the new school can keep me on track for once... So why when I see my tutor class for morning registration, do I see one girl, that I can't seem to get out of my head? And why do I keep coming for her? This is my first book so you might see a few mistakes, but I do try to go over my work as best as possible. Contains mature content, so if your under 16 I suggest u give this one a miss, unless your okay with that sort of thing. I do put a warning at the beginning of the chapter and I put a small warning just before it starts for those that don't like the sexual parts, but want to read the rest of the story! XxComplete
Challenge Accepted
"Marek, don't do this. Keep your captainship. I'll tell the truth about what happened and we'll both be out of the deal." "But-" "I don't know what your doing, if you think this is going to win you attention or sympathy. Or maybe you are being a noble prat and doing as 'you should'. Plus, I don't mean anything to you. Never have, never will. So please, please, stop acting like I'm special. " "But you are." And then his voice cracked, and I cracked with it. ------------------------ She's sick of his arrogant ways, and the bragging. With her goal being to slap some sense into him, she makes a deal; they act like a couple in every sense of the word and the first one to fall in love? Loses. It's only when she realises he may not be such a terrible man after all that she doubts her ability to win. But what if the one thing she put on the line is the one thing she would die trying to protect? Will she allow a relationship to blossom under pressure from her past? **Disclaimer** The drawing in the cover isn't mine (but it was so pretty I used it anyway). If you know who it belongs to, tell me and I can give them the rightful credit. **Implication of sex and some minor bad language. Do not read unless mature enough.**Complete
Taming The Tomboy (Rewriting)
"Hermia is a heck of a character I love" "The kitchen scene is so hilarious. This story is amazing!" ~LYh203126 "I love your dialogues. Imagining this feels so good!" ~MadeenahJunaid "God, the cliffhangers. . . It makes me wonder what lies ahead in the next page. Well written" ~HappyEndingWriter Teaser: I went into a frenzy when the curtain was drawn apart and there stood the boy next door with his eyes closed and hands outstretched. But he wasn't just there. He was stark shirtless! My eyes slowly widened and I could feel my own heart beat frantically against my chest ribs. If anyone told me the nerd had perfect eight pack abs and flexed muscles, I'd disagree but here it was, mocking me right in the face. Sweats trickled their way down his belly lines and his torso was rising in a sync. What happens when the tomboy starts to have girl like feelings she ought not to and always condemned? But what seems like a normal highschool story boy falls in love with girl and changes for her might not be it. Instead of the girl to change the boy, the boy is changing the girl. It all started with an hockey match and a misunderstood identity. ©2022 #5 in YARomance (July 25, 2022) #25 in nerdy (May 7, 2025) #11 in nerdy (July 12, 2025) #33 in hiddengems July 16, 2025) #57 in undiscovered (July 16, 2025) 100 reads- July 19 200 reads- July 26 300 reads- July 31 400 reads- August 2 500 reads- August 7 600 reads- August 11 *time jump* ----- Cover designed and edited by @StarDaisyxxx21 All images which will be used to represent characters herein do not belong to me.
