Ten Seconds Later is a story about Taylor Billings, an ambitious but naive eighteen-year-old who dreams of being a model. With a cookie-cutter idea of success in mind, Taylor works day and night to afford her lifestyle. Her only support system is her fabulous and flamboyant best friend, Stuffy, who interns at a fashion magazine and counts designers as his gods. 
Sooner than expected, with some manipulating and arm twisting, Taylor's dreams start becoming her reality. Her life becomes a roller-coaster and, before she realizes it, she's fired from her part-time job in retail, having an illicit affair with the head of her modelling agency, and has a bigger wardrobe than she has space for. 
But what Taylor doesn't realize is that big labels come with bigger problems. Soon, she's snapping at stylists, arriving late to shoots, mistreating staff, and meddling with the idea of cosmetic surgery. When ties are tested, Taylor finds herself looking for the right path, only to find that she seems to have lost all of her friends on her journey. 
In this story of success and fame, reaching to the top is one problem but staying there is a whole other crisis. When love, friendship, and loyalty shatter, Taylor will be forced to question whether this career is worth all the casualties.All Rights Reserved

Connections | ✔️ by CxTannir

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

Ace Of Spades (Complete Raw First Draft, Unedited) by janeisderranged

This story sucks, don't read it! It's amazing how quickly your life can change. In a slow town like this, where nothing exciting ever happens, where nothing ever changes, one single moment can alter your life forever, for better, or for worse. Sometimes, we're lucky enough to be able to recognise these particular moments, and take a leap of faith, but, more times than not, they just happen without us even realizing what's going on until it's already too late. Tonight, a simple Saturday night, just like any other, would turn out to be one of the most defining moments of my life. Ace is living a slow life, knowing nothing other than drinking with his friends and the motorcycle club that raised him, waiting to reconnect with his father who has just been released from prison after a fifteen year sentence. Life is simple, though he thought. Until the night he meets Jenna, running from her haunting past and the man that she is desperately trying to escape. Ace is dead set on protecting Jenna, but, as she slowly learns to trust him enough to open up to, he finds himself landing in the middle of a human trafficking operation and a feud that goes way back, between the ringleader and his club. Suddenly, life doesn't seem so simple... Work in progress, especially the blurb! This story has content which may offend some readers. Mild coarse language! Physical and sexual violence! Lots of drug references! First draft! I don't own the cover image! I'm a disappointment to my family!

Paints, Pencils and Parties by bookscrowned

Athena Yondoris lives a simple life. She's a straight-A student in her school. She loves going to parties, and dressing up pretty. She likes to keep a low profile in her high school. Saying that she is a hopeless romantic would be an understatement. She dreams of finding the love that she reads about in her cute, little books. A people pleaser at heart, she is nice with everyone. Except Xavier King. Cold, rude and reckless, he is the perfect example of the kind of people Athena wants nothing to do with. But destiny has other plans... Xavier King lives an extravagant life. Captain of the ice hockey team, impossibly rich with looks that could kill, he has everything a man would love to have, which includes girls running after him and worshipping his very existence. His life seems to be perfect, with his large group of friends, and a loving family. He wants nothing to do with Athena Yondoris, or does he? All it takes is one plea for tutoring, and a few months of fake dating for the line between love and hate to blur.

Are you mine? by EmmJayWriting

We've all heard about 'the main character'. The type of person who lives through the most dramatic and improbable situations, and finds the kind of epic romance you only see in works of fiction. Which makes you think about how unrealistic love like that is. I used to think the same thing until I met him. Until I met 'the bad boy' that, as it turns out, wasn't that bad at all, just simply...a boy. A boy with an easy smile, a charming personality and looks so enticing that I couldn't keep my eyes off of him if I tried. A boy whose shoulders were starting to slump with the weight of his past and his family. A boy who believed that the only way to survive was by putting a lock on his heart and chaining it down to a place so deep inside of him that no one could ever reach it again. A boy who, for reasons I'll never comprehend, placed the key inside my palm and didn't shy away when I tried to free his hidden heart from its restraints. A boy who made me the main character of my own story. A story I never want to forget, and which begged to be put on paper. This is that story. ~~~ #1 love triangle 8/26/2019 #1 teen romance 11/4/2019 #1 mystory 7/27/2020 #1 teen drama 9/9/2020 #1 goodgirl 9/12/2020 Cover by @alexandramar1e Contains swearing and mature language.
