(Previously titled His Game)
~~●~~
When April Winters gets caught up in a dangerous car accident, her entire life is flipped around. After spending months in coma, she wakes up to realize that she has been diagnosed with amnesia and has no full remembrance of who she was. Now she has to handle being tormented and bullied by the notorious Asher Black for reasons unknown to her. Will she ever find the forgotten reason for his intense hatred? Will she ever find out who she really was without toppling off the verge of insanity?
Asher Black is cruel, undeniably attractive, and April's biggest tormentor. The sole reason behind her scars, and the sole reason behind her smile. His hate is driven by the ghosts of his past, and burning desire for revenge; to play her in a game the same way she did. However, as Ernest Hemmingway once said, "All things truly wicked start from innocence."

Falling For An Inmate
Prison Diaries: Book 1 (complete) A law-abiding student gets entangled with a broody inmate when she discovers there has been a miscarriage of justice. She goes in to help, but ends up breaking the first rule of interning at a prison; she falls for the inmate. ***** Carter Reynolds' teenage years ended the second the gavel hit the sound block. Or maybe they ended when the police found him standing over a dead body, drenched in blood. It might even have been before that. When he connected his fist with a face that left a broken jaw in its wake. Either way, it was over. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He accepted his fate, only promising himself to never care for anyone so intensely again. Almost four years into his sentence, Arya Crawford walks through the wrought iron prison gates. A self-proclaimed miniature philanthropist with a heart of gold, a law-abiding student with an urge to always have fun, a girl with a silent cause. She had taken up an internship at the New York State Penitentiary. And in time, Carter and Arya both realize something. She had broken the first rule instructed by the warden. She had fallen for an inmate. Which meant she couldn't stay. He had broken the promise he made to himself. He had started to care for her. Which meant he couldn't let her leave. But it's a little difficult to make that happen when you're stuck in a closet sized cell. And waiting twenty-one years is out of the question. ***** Highest Rankings: #6 in Romance, #2 in Passion, #4 in Badboy, #1 in Witty (for those who don't think an inmate/prison trope is their cup of tea, don't be put off because the story is first and foremost 'romance') Disclaimer** Reader discretion advised. - Mature content Story contains explicit language, sexual content, and physical and sexual violence.Complete

The punishment was a fate worse than death: public rejection by her mate, followed by demotion to a pack slave. Now, forced to serve the Alpha who looks at her with nothing but disgust, Ella quietly endures every scar, every sleepless night, and every cruel word. But behind her silent endurance lies a heartbreaking truth no one knows: Ella is dying. Fighting a fatal illness alongside crippling trauma, she counts down her final days in the shadows of the pack she once loved, still holding onto a heart that refuses to stop beating for him. When the truth behind Sofia's web of lies finally begins to unravel, Adam is forced to face a brutal reality. He did not just reject his mate; he nearly destroyed her. As guilt consumes the Alpha and a hidden war brews in the shadows, Adam will do anything to save her. But when the damage is already done, can forgiveness bloom from the ashes of cruelty?

And most of all, I hate that you hate me. Hate, Everest Since the first grade when Olivia Kingston and her family moved in right across the street from Kyle Everest, he had believed to have instantly hated her. (At least thats how he tells the story) And maybe it was just because of the mere fact of her existence, or maybe it was that time she ate the last fruit snack at lunch, or let's not forget, in fifth grade she stole his partner in crime, being his twin sister Madeline. Now being 17 years old Kyle Everest still holds this unknown resentment against his next door neighbor Olivia Kingston, and torches her in any possible way he can, but what would happen when Olivia finally gets sick of letting Kyle torcher her unexplainably? Everything would change in the matter of one day when Olivia accidentally gets them both locked in the principals office in search of the same thing: The truth. But while staying together in a cramped room with no phones and surviving off nothing but the secret stash of their principal, while the entire schools is off on spring break, secrets will be told and feeling will unravel. And let's not forget, hate letters will be sent. This book may seem light and fun but it has some mature scenes and dark thoughts that I'd suggest for viewers 16+Complete

BEING ANITA
'I love you,' Asher told me while the police man handcuffed him. The night glimmered in his green eyes. His dark hair was tousled, strands like conductors of the energy in his chest. "I fucking love you." In other circumstances, a few years ago, I would've easily retorted, but there was a humid substance being loaded in the unfiltered air that wrapped around my throat, and I couldn't speak. If I tried, I'd break into a full fledged scream, and possibly end up handcuffed as well. I took many steps back, retreating from the source of toxicity, suppressing a pseudo feeling of guilt but being grasped by its hands so easily I could simply lunge at my boyfriend and tell him everything would be all right, that he had done the right thing, and that I was so proud of him. But as much as I wished him to, he wasn't a child anymore, and I had ceased to be the girl he idealized. The man pushed Asher's head into the vehicle, and he repeated "I love you" over and over, like a fresh mantra. I didn't doubt his words. But there were just a few things that still made sense to me, and his voice was in the past. A relic that was rooted in a better context. Us. "I could just die with you." ---------♡--------- Starring: Gwen N.F. Asher Price Noah Gallo Scripted: August 2017. Started: September 2022. Finished: November 2022. Word count: 90K-100K.
