28 parts Complete Mature
All Shanelle McGee ever wanted was to be loved and accepted by the people that were supposed to love and care about her, mainly the man that she'd given her heart to nearly seven years before. Instead of loving her like he should, he tore her down about her weight and appearance every chance he got and didn't care about the damage he could and would inflict on her at a moment's notice. No matter how much her close friends and colleagues would plead and beg for her to leave, Shanelle refused. The fear of being alone overshadowed her commonsense so she continued to endure the hell hole she called a relationship. Just when Shanelle thought she couldn't endure any more heartache and pain, her hearts blessing came walking through her business doors. Every thought of her being unloved or desired came crashing down around her head. Jaylin Cunningham had seen and done a lot of things in his life, and being with his fair share of women was one of them. Being an ex-professional football player women came a dime a dozen.

The minute Jaylin laid eyes upon Shanelle he just knew his heart had found its home in her hands and he wasn't giving up until he could call her his. Will this plus size diva let the man of her dreams sweep her off her feet and show her how it really feels to be loved and accepted or will she allow her pride and personal reflections get in the way? Come along and find out, because anything goes when the matters of the heart are at play!

It starts at a concert. For years, the haunting melodies and darkly poetic lyrics of Oliver Rose and The Thorns have provided Madison solace and inspired the explosions of color she's never dared to call art. Now, as she begins her post-college life in Los Angeles, she finally gets to see The Thorns live. An embarrassing mistake connects her with Daniel, and the spark between them is instant. But he's not just any swoon-worthy stranger-he's one of Oliver Rose's oldest friends. Before she can even process this twist of fate, Madison finds herself whisked away to the band's afterparty, living out a scene straight from her fantasies. And then, there he is: Oliver Rose, the man whose voice has scored her every heartache and triumph, in the flesh. To Madison's utter amazement, the charismatic frontman seems just as intrigued by her. But life rarely follows the lyrics of a love song. While the allure of her teenage celebrity crush is undeniable, Madison can't ignore the easy connection blooming with Daniel. As fantasy and reality blur, her choices threaten to unravel not only her dreams, but the tight-knit world of the band she idolizes. In life, as in art, the most beautiful creations often emerge from the messiest processes. What readers are saying: "The first story that left me utterly breathless 😁" "Interesting storyline right off the bat. Deep characters with great development. Most importantly...VERY VERY good writing and that's a must for me. I can't wait to see what happens. I'm so intrigued." Content warning: explicit and plentiful sexual content, drug and alcohol use, profanity, angst, love triangle

𝐀𝐧 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭, 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫, 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥. Sorrow, lust, fear, and impulsivity. These visceral emotions are bleeding anthropology; cut the wrist of humanity and watch them seep out. A small seaside town on the hazy coast of Newick, Washington understands the poetry of life better than anywhere else. The ocean rumbles and groans for the bitter, while the backroads carry away the renegades to the tune of cicadas and rain. It's a tired hollow, a place to rest your head on the outskirts of the world. But... word travels fast. Incandescent rumors turn to wildfire - all it takes is a morsel of gossip to feed a starving town, and curious night fellows are often the most hungry. That's an unfortunate truth for a girl with scarred hands, a man who made a mistake and a woman who he begs for forgiveness from, a strange, tattooed foreigner, and a quarterback that walks the streets with a stroller. What will become of them? Only time can tell, and she's the most ravenous of all... tragically, she already knows all their secrets.
