The Guardian Wars: Part One #Wattys2016 by JamesKellyWrites

Twenty year old Olivia Tremaine is the daughter of a very wealthy family. They expect her to fit in and follow the guidelines of her Sector, but she doesn't. Not by a long shot. In Olivia's world, money is power which is why her country is divided into Sectors, separated by wealth. Being from the wealthiest sector, Olivia has a Guardian who was purchased by her parents to protect and care for her. Rowan and Olivia have spent nearly a decade together, but once Olivia is married he will be forced to leave her. When she is introduced to her future husband, Olivia and Rowan are forced to face their true feelings for each other. Because of Rowan's position as Olivia's Guardian, they are forbidden from being together, and no one in the prestigious Sector is allowed to choose their own partner. The barriers already seem insurmountable when Rowan becomes violent with Olivia's overzealous fiancé and is forced to flee. Rowan leaves the heavily dependent Olivia to follow through with their plan to stay together. Olivia must find the strength to begin a dangerous and life-altering journey in an effort to reunite with her Guardian, and learn to stand on her own two feet.

Similars Repel by Amedix

If opposites attract, then similars repel... right? *** Eva Mera was everything but cheerful. She would glare at anyone who got too close, and cuss you out if messed with. Despite her general dark appearance, she couldn't resist kids and their cuteness. So she taught them dance to make up for the hate she felt for the rest of the world. She was in her element, as well as content whenever she would step in the dance studio. So what happens when her traumatizing past comes chasing after her and breaks her peace? Does she run? Or does she face it head on? And what if this time she's not alone? There's an unexpected guest in her life, but it's not like she cares too much about him. Yet he insists, to the point where it feels weird when they're not by each other's side. They're into the same things, and their personalities match, so of course they are going to stick together! So they try to help each other, and fight each other's demons, since dealing with your own is too hard. But what if they have the same demons? What then? A story full of secrets, back and forth, lying and killing. Oh, and romance. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

Fiery Chains , Dark Shadows MC (Book 2) by MackenzieMadden

Chloe has always believed that she can only rely on herself, especially when everyone else always leaves. Relationships mean letting someone in and she's not willing to open herself up to that kind of pain, not without some kind of proof that it will last. When the Dark Shadows MC offers her protection from the danger stalking her, Chloe finds herself stuck with the gruff Road Captain, Hawk. He's silent, rude, uncompromising, and she's positive that he can't stand her...but Chloe also can't deny the way her heart races when he sets his steely gaze on her. Hawk learned early not to trust those who were supposed to care for him, finding solace and family among the brothers of the MC who saved him when he was a teen. Watching over Chloe is just supposed to be another way to repay that debt to the club, or so he keeps telling himself. But as the danger surrounding Chloe escalates and the lines blur between them, Hawk faces a choice between remaining guarded and alone, or letting Chloe in. In a world where trust is a rare commodity and danger lurks in every shadow, Chloe and Hawk must confront their deepest fears and decide if love is worth the risk.

You. And Me by watermelonapple12

Enter: An assassin, Levi Enter: A relatively normal lady, Simone. Simone lives a life where the basic needs are hard to come by. Add to the fact that she has four sisters to fend for, her efforts are damn near Nobel Prize worthy. Levi wakes up, ends lives, occasionally reads, goes to bed and then repeats the process all over again. He's a dangerous man despite his calm and aloof appearance and it doesn't help that he has a huge bounty on his head. Levi gets shot taking down a huge crime syndicate and that's pretty much how he envisions his life ending. Surprisingly, Simone, a total stranger comes to his rescue and let's him hide out at her place, despite how it's destined not to work. Put together a man with a bounty on his head, a woman with too much to lose, throw in a healthy dose of trauma, teenagers, toddlers, sharing a bed with a stranger and you're bound to have a royal mess. Let's not forget the most important part, they can't fall for each other because that just takes the stakes up, you don't just wake up and get attracted to an assassin so you can be used as mafia bait, basically destined not to work. That's what this is, a mess that shouldn't work. But it does. And everything goes to shit because of it. A story about love, assassination, family and healing from trauma.

Will it work or will it be for not? Book one: Shattered Heart [Complete] Book Two: Silver Heart [Complete] Book Three: 'I love you More' [Ongoing] PSA: I wish to place out there some information that I know a lot of people seem to not be aware of the age of 'consent' between lovers in Japan is 13 Years of age. That being said, Males can legally marry at the age of 18 while females are able to do so at the age of 16 with consent from a guardian. This information is rather important not just to the story but for other fandoms that I write for that come from the origin of Japan.
