A Blake Barnes Series #2

She had gotten herself head over heels in this and now she couldn't turn back. Rowan was right. She would be alone in this, no one there to help her. The worst gut feeling came when she realized the car behind her was following her. 

Gripping the steering wheel, Blake inspected the car. It looked like a family car, not something more expensive. That didn't matter to her, what mattered was the fact that it kept tailgating her. 

"Not yet," Blake begged as she grabbed hold of the stick. The car suddenly turned off to a park on the side of the road, revealing a family of four getting out. Throwing her head back, Blake groaned. How was she suppose to get these formulas to the Professor? People would be after her...Her paranoia was starting to grow.All Rights Reserved

Sentiment? A Weakness by Sp00kySpoons

When Sherlock Holmes receives an urgent summons to the majestic halls of Imperial College London, he is thrust into a labyrinthine mystery that threatens to unravel the very backbone of British scientific achievement. A string of unexplained breakthroughs in biochemistry, accompanied by the peculiar malfunctioning of lab equipment and the inexplicable vanishing of crucial data, has left the university's esteemed research teetering on the brink of disaster. As tempers flare and uncertainty looms large, the shadowy figure of a possible saboteur-begins to unravel threads of an intricate plot far more insidious. Mycroft manipulates the investigation with his characteristic cunning, maneuvering from the shadows like a chess master overseeing a game of immense stakes, while the Chancellor waits on pins and needles for a resolution. Faced with challenges that test not only his remarkable intellect but also his unwavering loyalty to his family and country, Sherlock plunges deeper into the enigmatic chaos. He uncovers hidden alliances amongst the faculty, encrypted secrets that lie beneath layers of bureaucracy, and chilling truths that suggest the very research intended to propel Britain forward could, in the wrong hands, become a weapon of catastrophic potential. One miscalculated move could trigger a series of events powerful enough to send shockwaves through the global scientific community-putting Sherlock at the forefront of a battle he never anticipated. Yet the implications stretch far beyond the reputation of Imperial College; as Sherlock meticulously peels back the deceptions obscuring the truth, he uncovers a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of national security and casts a long shadow over Mycroft's precarious position within the government. With time slipping away and Sherlock is compelled to navigate this treacherous landscape with utmost precision. It is a race against an unseen adversary, where every decision could lead to his downfall

What are you doing?" He looked at me with cool, indifferent eyes. "Dropping you off... what else?" "In front of my house? What if someone sees?" "Who in our school lives on this street? Or in this area?" "I- I don't know..." I stuttered. "Exactly." "People still talk and you never know who might see us." "The windows are tinted." I stared at him. "Like I said before, barely." "Well, since you're so worried, why don't you step outta my car then?" He faced the steering wheel. ***

Scandals and Scraped Knees by Iaccgiveup

He met her just a day ago, but already he can't stop thinking about her smile-and he'd do anything to help her find her sister, even if it means risking everything he's ever worked towards. * Blake and Ruby, attractive distractions to each other's goals, must team up to uncover their school's dark secrets, risking everything in the process. As Blake and Ruby's worlds collide, their connection becomes undeniable, even as they fight to keep their distance. But in a school full of secrets, can they avoid the dangerous pull between them, or will the whirlwind of their emotions drag them under? Ruby Rose Rivers has just escaped her tumultuous past at a failing public school and landed a scholarship at one of the UK's most prestigious institutions-Branson High School. Grateful for the opportunity, she's determined to keep a low profile and avoid drawing attention, especially from the headmaster, whose strange behavior gives her an uneasy feeling. But everything changes the moment she crosses paths with Blake. Ruby's life isn't easy. With a dead mother and a father battling addiction, she's learned to survive by keeping her head down. She's even settled for a relationship with Clayton, a guy she never really wanted but felt pressured to accept, fearing what might happen if she refused. William Blake Walton is rich, popular, and entirely consumed by football-until Ruby steps into his world. The one girl who isn't swooning over him, Ruby's indifference sparks something in Blake that he can't ignore. He's never been distracted by girls, but now, for the first time, football isn't his top priority.

𐮙༻✯༺𐮙 At Blackwood University, Harvey King reigned supreme. Son of political royalty, football god, and a master of the 'yes' life. Me? I was the scholarship girl, walking a tightrope where one misstep meant oblivion. My future was my fortress, and no one-especially not him-was breaching it. Then came the bet. Harvey was dared to do the impossible-seduce me. The untouchable girl. The one who never partied, never got distracted. It was a game to him, just another challenge to win. But he found himself playing a game he couldn't control. It was supposed to be a conquest, a fleeting thrill. But somewhere between his wicked taunts and my razor-sharp retorts, between stolen glances and dangerously close encounters, the lines of our little war dissolved. The harder I pushed him away, the more he pulled me in, a dangerous dance of desire and defiance. And the most scandalous truth of all? I found myself craving the chaos. 𐮙༻✯༺𐮙 Welcome to Blackwood, where secrets are currency, and hearts are pawns. Inspired by the decadent world of Gossip Girl and the deliciously twisted games of Cruel Intentions. 💋🐝📖 ❦ THE ELITE GAMBIT: BOOK 1 IN THE ROYAL ELITE SERIES ❦ 𐮙༻✯༺𐮙

The Heartthrob Won't Leave by TheePeaches

- "God Blake, you're a true enigma" Her eyes widened slightly at his words. "I don't understand" she claimed, backing up a step from him, which he had clearly noticed. And to her shock, he took a step forward, blocking the gap she had just created. "You seriously don't see what I was trying to do up there?!" he asked, almost in disbelief. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting to do that?!" she couldn't believe how loud he was suddenly. She had always known Lucian as a calm person with a soft, almost brooding voice that he never raised. Now it almost sounded excited, it was interesting seeing a new side of Lucian Black. - Something is happening at Cross Climb High-school Although it seems fairly normal, students going amongst their days unbeknownst to who they travel life beside. Blake Collins was forced to move schools, along with her four best friends. With her mother dead and her father in prison for attempting to murder her brother, she's in foster care, struggling every day with panic attacks and obsessive thoughts from a past of psychological damage. In her new school, she deals with not only her constant daily struggle to maintain normalcy, but also somehow becoming the director of the school play. Add a crush on the school's bad boy, Zac, who seems more interested in Stella, Blake's promiscuous best friend and also contending with another one of the school's popular boys, Lucian, chasing her constantly despite firmly keeping up her barriers. Everything seems fairly normal, at least at first. But, brewing nearby is a rage so intense that it's about to bubble over, and when strange things start happening around her, Blake can't help but fear the worst events will unfold and hope that it won't take the lives of those she loves along with her own. Be careful, because you never know what people are really thinking. - *Warning* Swear words, violence, thoughts of self harm, and spelling mistakes that I need to fix and I swear I will.

Bully stepbrother by shesdreamingiamshe

BOOK 1 in the Drowning/Bully Standalone Series. WARNING: This book contains intense bullying, explicit scenes, triggering language, violence, and psychological content. "You need to call off this party," I boldly told my stepbrother in the kitchen. He cocked his head attractively, his thin eyes scrutinizing me. His upper lip curled up in that seductive habit that I had become familiar with. "And why should I do that?" he murmured. His eyes were come-to-bed-with-me stunning, inviting with me with that inescapable pull, and damn if I didn't wet my panties. Get it together, Madison, said my insidious voice. I almost complied with that command until Caden went on and said something that left me breathless before his egotistical smirk. "Will you be my snack tonight?" He hates you. Don't forget that. I was reminded by my subconscious. *** Caden always goes extreme to make my life a living hell since after our parents got married four years ago. Although I'm similar to my stepbrother-the only difference between us is: I am a surreptitious bully, and Caden's a blatant bully. I wonder how sharing the same apartment for our first year at Stanford University will turn out. Honestly? I'm not eager to find out. Step into an adventure of passion, forgiveness, and second chances in this compelling two-part saga. This is Caden and Madison's story.

Professor Layton and the Politician's Wrath by Unknown_Mafia786

The second story in the series! Part of the 'Unwounded Future' series/AU whatever you want to call it. Set shortly after 'Professor Layton and the Conspicuous Organisation.' The Professor has returned from his adventure in America! But what exactly was he doing there in the first place? The Professor has noticed people have been disappearing from the streets of London, making it much more quieter than it usually is. 'Professor Layton and the Politician's Wrath' explores Layton's adventure in America as well as how Luke and Flora can solve mysteries by themselves, without their mentor. Also features returning characters such as Bill Hawks. Shortly after stopping Cyrus and defeating Targent, the Professor and gang decide to relax at Clive's house, where Layton talks about how great everyone was solving the mystery, especially Luke and Flora. But something is on the Professor's mind. The streets of London have been quiet. Very quiet. Layton thinks this is strange and that something is causing this event of silence. But, little does he know, an old rival of Dimitri and Clive has been making moves of his own in order to silence people who threaten his rule and also wants to target the Professor and gang. Can Layton and Co. stop this evil madman from perfecting his rule? Can they stop him from silencing and threatening to kill people? And can Layton trust his friends to not betray him against this person? Or will they stab him in the back and let Layton, Luke and Flora become prisoners to the man? WARNING: This contains MAJOR spoilers for the first story 'Professor Layton and the Conspicuous Organisation' as well as the games 'Lost/Unwound Future' and "Azran Legacy" and may contain some minor spoilers related to 'Pandora's/Diabolical Box' and 'Spectre's Call/Last Specter.' If you haven't seen or played them, then I highly recommend doing so before reading any further. Part 1: https://www.wattpad.com/story/291696581-professor-layton-and-the-conspicuous-organisation
