"Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and enlivens the other who turns it on his fellow human." - Kahlil Gibran.

As an aspiring writer and amateur journalist, (Y/n) Francois gropes for a compelling story just at the apex of the Jazz Age. Attempting to catch her break as an amateur journalist, she heads over to New York City, where she is reunited with an old friend of her brother's, Nick Carraway. Nick valiantly offers to let her stay with him while she searches for her next big break and she accepts. 

Little does she know that Nick - an old flame - still has feelings for her and tries tirelessly to impress her, even asking her to accompany him to Gatsby's celebration, where she meets the enigmatic man himself. 

Instantly, she feels a pull towards Gatsby that she cannot explain - something chemical -  but will this attraction prove fatal if Gatsby cannot forget about his own beau, Daisy Buchanan?

*•.~(Harry Potter x Fem! Reader) *** Harry had always known she was gorgeous, but this time she was breath-taking and he felt an awful feeling in his stomach when he realized she wasn't his anymore. He couldn't enjoy her laugh to himself anymore, her smile, her eyes, the way she'd blush whenever something happened between them.. Y/N realized Harry's eyes were looking lost, dreamy even as he stared down at her and she hadn't realized he had both his hands against the sink counter on either side of her. She felt her stomach do something weird at the feeling that they were merely inches from each other, butterflies, and summersaults all at once. It was an attraction bigger than any she had ever felt. *** Two best friends, two hearts, their both stolen... The last thing on the famous Harry Potter's mind was to find love, besides- he's never heard of it or felt it. All he wanted was to get rid of the Dursley's and go to Hogwarts when he found out he was a wizard. It wasn't until then when he found her... Y/N 'L/N' Their story begins on the Hogwarts Express, after Harry gets frightened by a few twin boys with red flaming hair and enters Y/N's compartment where she's sitting alone except for her owl. The two kids immediately hit it off and create a special bond, growing older that bond blooms into something special, love... Now, Y/N has the choice of whether or not to remain friends... to be what he needs most or find out more about the gap hole's in her family's history. In a 'not so merry' fifth year Christmas she receives an odd present from her Father, passed down by her mother. Strange changes happen after that and its Y/N's job to figure out what the present's mysterious past is, as well as family secrets... *•ᴛʜɪs sᴛᴏʀʏ ᴄᴏɴᴛᴀɪɴs... -Cursing/swearing -Fictional Violence -Book/Movie based storylines -Fluff (no smut) *I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER* *SLOW UPDATES!* (I try my best!!)
Salvation (Heal Me Series Book 1) by Stephanie John by stephaniejohnauthor
5 parts Complete Mature
Powerfully passionate, breathtakingly sexy and completely addictive. This is no ordinary billionaire romance. Read the first few chapters of my debut novel here! Available on Amazon and FREE in Kindle Unlimited! Blurb: A chance meeting turned my world inside out. Intelligent, sexy, and rich. With a dash of roguish charm and a cocksure smile, Nathan Blake is the ultimate fantasy. He can have any woman he wants with only a glance. And he wants me. My past has left me broken and humiliated, wary of men like him. I cut myself off from the pain, moving thousands of miles away to escape every reminder, determined to start anew. I've been second best before. It isn't happening again. One kiss and I'm caught under his spell, drawn to him with every breath I take. I can't resist. The passion that explodes between us becomes an intense connection neither of us thought we'd share. Or need. The suffering inside me reflects his - a pain I know he feels, but can't bring himself to reveal. I have no idea his love can heal me - that mine can heal him... ...if only I can let down my guard for him and trust. Salvation will take you on a captivating sensual journey of finding, fighting and finally giving in to a love that is clearly meant to be. Intended for mature audiences over the age of 18 due to the sexual content and explicit language used throughout. Please note that even though this story is set in the United States, it is written from the POV of the female lead who is English, therefore British English vocabulary and spelling has been used.
Lusting After Lucifer (18+) ☑ by Zondra_Allison
8 parts Complete Mature
This is an erotic romance. Recommended 18+! Completed. Excerpt: His mouth was back on mine in an instant, the door behind us rattling loudly as he thrust against me. "Does the geriatric kiss you like this?" He mumbled against me as his teeth nipped at my already swollen lips. I pulled back once more, my heighted state of emotions, my anger taking over. "What if I said I don't want you?" A devilish grin took over as one of his hands slid along my thigh, under my skirt, his fingers tracing over the soft, damp material of my underwear. His mouth moved down to my neck, nipping at the juncture between my shoulder and neck. "I would call you a fucking liar." I tried to bite back the moan as his teeth skimmed my neck, before sinking in hard, his fingers pushing under the edge of my panties. He hesitated for a moment, waiting for me to stop him. I didn't want him to stop. One finger slid over my folds before pushing into my entrance, sinking in deep. He groaned in pleasure, his erection twitching against my core as his finger began to move. "I can feel just how much you want me." **** Lucian Vanderbrooke has been labeled many things in his lifetime. Bad boy, asshole, troublemaker, pornstar, the list goes on. He is nicknamed Lucifer for a reason. He gets who he wants, when he wants. Everything changes when he sets his sights on his twin sisters' best friend, his childhood friend who he has always had a love/hate relationship with. Abigail Davidson is a determined redheaded spitfire who doesn't take attitude from anyone. She has secretly been in love with her best friend's brother for her entire life, even though every sensible thought she has is telling her to hate the arrogant asshole. It is a love that she can't act on. A love that must remain hidden. That pact they made when they were 16, doesn't mean anything... right? Standalone spin off from the Distorted Windows Trilogy. Can be read on its own but it is recommended to read the others first.

{NOTE: I WROTE THIS AT A VERY YOUNG AGE, NOT UNDERSTANDING THE PARTS WHERE I WAS CRAP AT WRITING AT THIS POINT AND HOW EVERYTHING IS VERY MELODRAMATIC. I HAD A LARGE CRUSH ON A GUY AT THE TIME AND MOST ROMANCE IN THIS IS WHAT I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAPPEN. OR SOMETHING. I ADVISE YOU DON'T READ.} Hope Jacobs was a normal American girl. Straight A* student, the class representative, model student and the best of the gym team. But she's got one weakness. And his name is Beck Jackson. Sweetest guy in school, most popular guy in school, head of the run and swim team, nice to everybody, A* student: they've been friends fro such a long time, but when it gets out that Hope is in love with Beck, he becomes so stubborn and oblivious. Hope can't contain herself then, and does so many reckless things; she might end up getting hurt- and on the wrong side of some people. Maybe even find out things she had forgotten - and wish she had never remembered. As more and more people enter her life, more and more situations she delves into. An old friend comes back, new friends are made and jealously rises over her. She makes choices that are bad which might make her career and friends just.... disappear. But now, someone better revive her, or she could find serious trouble. ...And trouble doesn't take long to be found.
