Fascinated, he tries to get close to her, but to conquer her heart, he hides his own troubled past.
This could be just a love story, and Alexa could forgive Jake's secrets... But what happens when a handsome police detective decides to fight for Alexa's attention and, at the same time, Jake becomes the primary suspect of a crime against someone from her past?

All The Mistakes We Make
"There's only so many times I can put my heart back together" "Why are you so sure I'll break it again?" 🖤🤍🖤 No one said university would be easy, but between assignments and relationships, it gets a little too messy. Nicole doesn't do feelings. She barely does friendships. Escaping a life of pain, she drowns herself in distractions. Party. Drink. Repeat. Always on the brink of losing herself. The only person she trusts is her best friend, Miguel. Miguel isn't the relationship type. He's never had a reason to be, and his reputation proves it. Until a kind-hearted waitress makes him question who he wants to be. Alice, dreaming of love like in the movies, falls face first on every try. She refuses to be fooled again, but no matter how hard she tries, her heart keeps tricking her. When she stumbles across someone whose first instinct isn't to judge her for her dreams, Nicole's warnings are in vain. They thought they could keep their walls until Andrew came crashing in. He didn't seek their acceptance, only an escape from his life. He was never meant to break them apart. But mistakes are easy to make.

ALESSIA MY SWEETHEART
BASED ON TRUTHS GIRLS RARELY CONFESS AND DRAWN FROM OBSESSIONS DARKER THAN FICTION, THIS STORY WALKS THE RAZOR'S EDGE BETWEEN DESIRE AND DESTRUCTION. He's too old. too dangerous. too obsessed. but he found her. and he's never letting go. alessia has lived in silence - quiet, invisible, forgotten. until leo. he sees her. wants her. owns her. He watched her sleep. Tracked her online. Erased anyone who got too close. Now he's in her life, and he doesn't care if it's wrong. Sometimes he dreams of her moaning his name... before she's even kissed him. Age gap? YESSSS. Obsession? YESSS. Consent? Slippery. This isn't romance that heals. It's hunger that claws under your skin, a love that feels intoxicating until it turns suffocating. It whispers in the dark: "You were mine before you ever looked at me." Dark romance collides with psychological terror. What Leo does to Alessia doesn't only exist in fiction - it's the kind of manipulation and control that hides behind closed doors in real life. Read if you crave broken girls, dangerous men, possessive obsession, emotional ruin, and control disguised as care. But remember: every touch has a price. Every promise hides a trap. And once you fall into his world, there is no way back. Not soft. Not sweet. Not safe. This isn't a love story. It's a mind game. 🖤 New chapters on Mondays only 🖤![The Vigilante & The Dragon - Book 1 of the Guardians Saga [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/120978116-256-k304014.jpg)

#1 romance fantasy #1Dragonlove, #2 Paranormal Romance highest rankings. Awards: Short list of Writers Recognition Awards Dark humor, justice, and love in the streets of New Orleans. Alex trawls the streets and alleys of New Orleans for pushers, pimps, and johns to beat senseless and leave naked in alleys. It's her revenge against the rapist stalking her. Morgan told her that he rescued her from the government agency that experimented on her and that she belongs to him. He had proven painfully to her that her new powers don't work against him. She escaped and her rage now falls on the others of his kind. Her goal is simple: take down the bad guys with her fun neuro-electric powers and snarky humor until one of them finally kills her. When she interrupts a mugging, she realizes that she's rescued a humanoid dragon from his hunters. But are his hunters the same one chasing her? The ones racing against Morgan to find her? Can this dragon and his brothers save her from her course of self-destruction? Or will they be dragged down her spiral of revenge and dark humor ?

After Katrina, I needed some fantasy about New Orleans as well.

What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet.

Heartbreak Express
🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Concluida
WHEN SHE FALLS
Declan Chase is about to start the life of his dreams, with a promising career in plastic surgery and a supermodel-with-two-Harvard-degrees fiancée. All that stands in the way is one last month of med school, and a secret that could ruin everything. Callahan Perrin is a young prodigy with a troubled past. Famous since childhood for her unique art, her gift is also her curse. She's got every reason to be happy. A new exhibit that's getting rave reviews. A starring role in her own wildly popular reality TV show. So what is she doing in Belmont Springs Psychiatric Hospital, days after an overdose that might have been intentional? When Dec is assigned to be Callie's med student, neither one of them wants to be there. She's looking to get out of Belmont as fast as possible. He's counting down the days to graduation and his wedding. So what if they share a slightly warped sense of humor, or get so wrapped up in conversation that hours feel like minutes? Forget chemistry. Romance is off limits. After all, who would be crazy enough to fall in love in a psych ward? **Content / Trigger Warning: this story contains scenes of drug use, including an overdose, as well as suicidal ideation (Chapters 4 and 31).
