"Serrano Oils' CEO and sought after bachelor Dominic Serrano has confirmed his engagement to his "one and only love" Margarita Cortez-"
Everything in Cassidy's surroundings seem to fade at that very moment. All she can see is the kit on her hand, and its taunting parallel violet lines.
This must be my karma, she thought. How can it not be when the man she loved all her life just made it known to the whole world that he is marrying his one and only love. And unfortunately, the woman is not her, it will never be her. She was just his best friend and now, his mistake. A mistake he pleaded to never let his world know, a mistake he no longer want to have anything to do with.
She clutched the kit tightly as tears silently fell on her face. Her chest constricting in pain, as if someone plunged a hot glowing knife in her heart and twisted it over and over and over again. She wanted to scream, to trash everything she can lay her hands on but she didn't. She sat still and instinctively touched her still flat belly.
It isn't just about her now. No, not anymore. She has something far more precious than anything in this world growing inside of her. She might be his mistake but the life she's going to bring into this world will never be one, and she'll make sure of it.

He finishes before smashing his lips to mine. Warning: Contains graphic sexual content and language. This is your only warning. Read at your own risk!Complete
Stung By You
I just close my eyes. Feeling him. Smelling him. Just existing close to him. My fingers clutch at his shirt, like it's the only thing keeping me from doing something reckless. Something completely, irrevocably stupid. Like kissing my son's best friend. And it feels so wrong. Oh God. So damn wrong. But then- His thumb shifts against my skin. A slow, lazy stroke. And suddenly, it feels so right. SO DAMN RIGHT. I breathe in too sharply. Mistake. He notices. Of course, he notices. His grip on my hips tightens. "You always this tense?" I force out a breath. "You always this annoying?" Leo laughs under his breath. "Only when I'm right." I tilt my head, and his eyes are already waiting for me-dark, unreadable, impossibly close. His fingers brush just above my waist. Barely there, but enough. Enough to make me hyper-aware of how easy it'd be to- "You wear this every night, don't you?" It takes me half a second to register what he means. The hoodie. His hoodie. *** 💔 She never expected to fall for him. 🔥 He never stopped waiting for her. 🏡 But some love stories don't follow the rules. Jenny Thompson moved to start fresh. A new neighborhood, a new home, a new beginning. What she didn't expect? Leo Mitchell. Her son's best friend. Fifteen years younger. And looking at her like she's something he's never stopped wanting. She tells herself it's nothing. She tells herself it can't happen. But then- 💬 "I don't know how to stop wanting this." 🔥 "Then don't." 📖 A slow-burn, emotional age-gap romance about love, healing, and the risk of wanting more. ** Taboo. Age gap. Off-limits tension. A love that shouldn't exist-but try stopping it.**Complete
Indecorous
(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.Complete
Ours To Be (All Ours, #1)
𝓘𝓼𝓪𝓫𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓪 ♥︎ Not many things have managed to catch me off guard in this life after enduring years of trauma. But Kayden did. He came out of the blue, so sudden, the whiplash is practically everlasting. I've always prided myself in having my shit together and priorities straight- and I did. Until life decided to throw me curveball in the form of a perfectly handsome, charming and oh so out of my league man. I don't even understand why. I was doing just fine without him, in law school at twenty-two, focus set on my studies of becoming a successful lawyer and following in my grandparents' footsteps, surrounded by the most amazing group of friends. But it doesn't matter. When Kayden Dominguez sets his mind and heart to something- he will get it. And my façade might not be strong enough to stop him. 𝓚𝓪𝔂𝓭𝓮𝓷 ♡︎ Despite what the tabloids might say about me, I'm not ignorant or stupid. I know I am that guy your parents would warn you about growing up, maybe still to this day. I am the son of Alejandro- and Alexia Dominguez. Owners of the biggest label company in Southern California. Maybe even the entire state. That itself will have people build and paint your persona to what they think you entail. Good thing I don't give a single shit about that whole puppet show called the media. I'd even go as far as to admit I go through my days feeling superfluous. I lived a pretty hollow life. I don't know how or why that changed the second I met her. It was like something clicked. Had you told me this would happen the day before, I would've probably punched you out cold. But like I said, she waltzed into my life and...I haven't been the same since. I just know I want Isabella Khalil, the ultimate woman of my dreams, to be mine. But how exactly do you pursue the only woman you've ever truly wanted, who also happens to be the only person ever to refuse tumbling for your charms?Complete
Love Has No Color (Book 2)
Violet is in her final year of college, working through the process of who she's becoming and the fears that still whisper she's not enough. With school, an impending graduation, and an unexpected internship and job offer in New York stretching her in ways she didn't anticipate, she's discovering that walking in purpose isn't always glamorous. Through the last bit of school, she uses every ounce of her being to preserve the uniqueness of her creative gift. In her mind, the only way to make sure she's the best she can be is to be hard on herself. But as she learns, she sees that maturing in many contexts is slow, steady, and refining. There's beauty in the process, even if it first seems ugly. Alex, on the other hand, is stepping into his calling, finally launching the mentorship organization he's dreamed of. It's something good. Something necessary that provides hope and healing to him and those he wants to help. But just as things begin to come together, his past resurfaces. His estranged and abusive father returns, threatening everything Alex has been working to build. Suddenly, he's caught between honoring what he's built and confronting a pain he thought he'd buried. In the midst of it all, their relationship deepens. And in that new relationship commitment-one that demands more than just their feelings-they're thrown into the realm of learning what it really means to love when it's impossible to, to encourage honesty when it's easier to hide, and to fight for and with each other when the world just wants them to be pulled apart. The question is: can they withstand the storm?Complete
