You know that moment right before you're about to make a huge decision? Your heart's racing, your blood's pumping like crazy. Some decisions alter your life forever, so how do you know you're making the right choice?
You don't. It's up to fate.
I stumbled upon one of those moments as the man I was obligatorily dating for two years perched on one knee, the conversation in the room ceasing to exist as his hopeful blue eyes met mine.
"Embry Stewart... Will you marry me?" There's the question I had been expecting for months, the one I had been dreading.
--------
Embry Stewart is a beautiful woman with a stable career and big plans for her future. The only thing she wasn't counting on was a sudden whirlwind romance. But this isn't your typical love story. There is always more than meets the eye. Especially when it comes to Nathan Demos.

Another Man's Treasure
"You've become so damaged that when someone tries to give you what you deserve, you have no idea how to respond." He says taking a step closer to me. I frown. "So, it's my fault? That I'm to blame for being damaged?" "No, it's not your fault at all, but it is your fault for believing you don't deserve better. That you don't deserve to be happy." Nathan looks away from my eyes, inhaling. "Maybe the little things that you consider your weakness are actually the things that people treasure most about you.

The Girl Who Walked Away
Prologue In the world of college life, words are often thrown around like confetti-light, colorful, and sometimes lacking substance. They say things to fill the silence, to create connections, and to express feelings that often remain hidden beneath the surface. But what happens when those words fall flat? When the promises made in fleeting moments fade into echoes of unfulfilled intentions? This is a story about the complexities of communication and the silent battles fought within relationships. It began with a simple smile exchanged in the midst of chaos during National Pharmacy Week-a moment that seemed inconsequential yet held the weight of possibilities. She found herself drawn to him, captivated by the way he spoke, the way he made her feel. But as she discovered, words alone would not be enough to bridge the gap between us. As their paths intertwined, we danced around each other in a series of unsaid feelings, lingering glances, and an unspoken connection that left her yearning for more. But with every promise unkept, the reality became clearer: words are just that-words. They mean little without the actions to back them up. This is the story of Elle's journey through that realization, a tale of fleeting moments, unfulfilled expectations, and ultimately, the power of choosing clarity over confusion. It's about learning that love is not just spoken; it's demonstrated. And in the end, it was a lesson that would change everything she thought she knew about relationships and herself.Complete

Fallen Too Deep
MATURE CONTENT Enter at your own risk.... "I'm not expecting declarations of love, nor anything much, really. Hell, I don't even know if I want a relationship. But I can't deny that I want you. Really bad." I admitted it for the first time aloud. "I think it's pretty out there that we want each other, don't you?" A teasing grin played about his lips. "So what do you suppose we do about that?" I eyed his lips and sucked in my own. "Well, you're the first girl that I don't see as a one-time thing so it's not like we do it once and I can just let you go." He said. "Maybe you won't have to." I proposed. "We're both obviously not into a relationship right now, and that's why I think it would be best to keep it physical in that sense and we wouldn't damage our friendship because there was never a relationship to squash it." ******************************************************* With the inability to trust the male population, Sofia Vincenti goes into college with the thought that she would be strictly focusing on school...for a little bit anyway.

Written With Hearts
My name is Abby Blair. I write erotic romance. I don't practise what I preach, though. With a string of failed relationships behind me, my books are now the only passion in my life. I create fictional men, because the real men in my life often let me down. I create a woman's perfect fantasy, because my fantasy doesn't exist. My female leads luckily get what I don't. Devotion. Love. Sex... A happy ending. So when I meet Yate Sheridan at my very first book signing, he makes me question a lot of things. He is like one of my leading men, jumping out from a chapter and jumping into my real life. He is charming and wickedly sexy, with a smile that could cause a roomful of knickers to drop in an instant. There is no question; Yate is appealing. He is also a cover model...a definite no-no for me. I don't like my men to be constantly drooled over, I leave that for my readers to do with my fictional men. So, as much as I like Yate, I can never date him. I'm way too insecure to go out with a guy like him. I have a painful past regret that has chipped away at my confidence. Being with someone like Yate, would only feed those insecurities. I write about sassy, confident, and bolder than brass heroines. They are sadly, everything that I'm not. When Yate kisses me; I know that I need to walk away. I need to walk, whilst my knickers are still on and my heart is still in tact. Only he doesn't want to leave things there. After that single kiss... He wants more. I'll admit, he gets under my skin, but I don't think I can give him what he wants? Yate Sheridan, well let's just say, he has other ideas. This is our story. ***DOES CONTAIN SWEAR WORDS & SCENES OF INTIMATE AND GRAPHIC NATURE*** WRITTEN WITH HEARTS Published by K B Mallion Copyright © 2016 K B Mallion All rights reservedComplete
