That's Just The Beginning
Fiona Harper is an angel in nearly everyone's eyes. But there is more to this good girl; she'd rather ditch class than stay up all night to finish a project. She'd rather be at a party than in her room studying, but her parent's would never approve of that. Unless, of course, they didn't know. When she's given the opportunity (with a super hot guy, may I add), will she take it? Adrian Easton is the most popular guy in school; the bad boy that girls swoon over and guys want to be friends with, but Fiona pays no mind to him- she thinks he's bad news. When he suddenly finds himself and his family moving into the house directly beside Fiona's; he finds an interest in his... unique new neighbor; an interest that'll lead them both to a few traumatic experiences, feisty arguments, perverted jokes, childish pranks, funny moments, and maybe even a romantic interest. But 'That's Just The Beginning.' THIS COVER WAS MADE BY A FAN.Complete
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐈𝐑 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐔𝐒
𝐆𝐀𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐑 was just trying to get to her summer internship at the hospital. Same route, same bus, same quiet daydreams about the boy who sat nearby but never close enough-untouchable, unreadable, and completely out of her league. 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍 𝐂𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐋𝐋 has always been out of reach. He's the golden boy of Hillcrest Academy: captain of the basketball team, top of his class, and a ghost of Gabriella's quiet admiration. To her, he's just a distant crush. To the world, he's practically perfect. But perfection means nothing when the city splits open. A sudden sinkhole. A police cordon. And a last minute diversion that takes their bus miles off course, leaving them stranded in a part of the city that doesn't exist on any map. Worse? They uncover something they were never meant to see; evidence of a powerful syndicate conducting illegal experiments on society's most vulnerable. Forced into hiding with a group of rebels and nowhere left to turn, Gabriella is trapped in close quarters with the one boy she's never been able to stop thinking about, and he's far more complex, volatile and possessive than she ever imagined. But in the pressure of confinement, chemistry ignites, jealousy simmers, and the truth might tear them apart before Aegis ever gets the chance.Complete
