Crystal "Cece" Stone has everything on paper: money, her own apartment, a degree nearly in hand, and a cat who bosses her around. But after losing her father, nothing feels secure. Her mother wanders the world in mourning. Her brother shoulders the family legacy while sending her a monthly stipend she doesn't need-but can't refuse. Cece tells herself she's independent. She's fine. She's just finishing college to keep a promise.
Then there's Professor Michael Knight: newly hired, charming, and entirely off-limits. The elective literature class she needs for credit becomes the only thing keeping her engaged. Their chemistry is undeniable, despite the lines neither of them should cross.
But when Kelly, Cece's lifelong best friend and honorary little sister, shows up unannounced and calls Michael "Dad," the world Cece built for herself collapses.
Cece isn't just falling for her professor. She's about to betray the only person she's ever felt truly responsible for protecting.
Now, Cece has to choose between the man who sees her for who she really is and the girl who always believed she was someone worth looking up to.
Love was never supposed to be this complicated. But the heart doesn't respect boundaries.

Untimely Love (Book 3)
♤VOL 1: Book III in the FORBIDDEN series♤ ♠♤ "Have you ever been in love?" I didn't know what to say to that. My skin heated with an embarrassed, uncomfortable blush that even attacked my skull. I should've been more prepared for the question, I guess. Still, it felt like a punch in the gut. Who says I'm not, is what I wanted to say-it's the worse thing I could possibly say. The worst thing to admit to myself now. "By that look," she gestured to my face, sitting back in her chair, "I'd say you have." ♠♤ He hadn't been prepared for the past year. In the beginning, he only saw it as his first and last year of freedom. He dropped out of honors classes and quit the track team to focus on more academic studies and getting into college. A girl hadn't been in his plans. Heartbreak hadn't either. But it happened anyway because life could be a bitch like that. And now he had to start college and a new life with the pain and memories burning in the back of his head and chest for however long it took to be okay after a heart had been broken. He'd been denying the one thing everyone's been throwing at him; 'college will change you'. And now he's seeing that there was a chance he would change. But it wouldn't be because of college. ♠♤ ♤ Sequel to 'Forbidden Attraction' ♤ Will officially start publishing in September 2020
Chill Out, Sir
(COMPLETED AND EXTREMELY CRINGY AT TIMES. MANY PLOT HOLES TOO LOL. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.) When 17-year-old Danielle Brooks is caught for underground fighting, she didn't know what to expect. Having left an abusive household and school at the age of 15, Danielle was left to fend for herself. Now back in high school to finish her senior year, what she really did not expect is to see a certain someone by the name of Matt Roberts, the grumpy guy who had fought with her just before she was caught. To top it off, he's her English teacher. Danielle is certainly not prepared for what is to come, especially when a piece from her abusive past has come back to get her... (First of all, I wrote this is 2011 when I was only 13 and this story plot was the hype in Wattpad. I admit this story is extremely cringy at times but I still feel hurt seeing some placing this under "Trash" or something like that considering I had taken so much time and effort to complete this for those who did appreciate this.)Complete
