• 2022 Watty's Romance Shortlist •

Caught between her ex and his brother, Maxwell toes the line of love and friendship in the shoes of a 'grooms woman' who refuses to settle down.

                                           ******

Fresh out of college and working in her dream role as a graphic designer at one of the most prestigious fashion companies, Maxwell feels that her life is finally falling into place. When the news of her oldest friend (and ex-boyfriend) Finn's wedding brings her back to her parent's vineyard, she assumes 'grooms woman' duties to the man she chose to leave behind all those years ago. Luca, her ex's older brother and now a billionaire CEO, is also back for the first time in over four years, bringing a storm of change with him in the night. As the wedding festivities bring the two closer than ever, Maxwell finds herself undeniably drawn to Luca, much to Finn's increasing irritation. The two struggle with the consequences of their attraction as the sexual tension and emotional connection grows between them, forcing Maxwell to question whether her happiness and desires are worth ripping their families apart and changing the course of her future forever.

In due time (Completed) by mikz0209

"You were worried about me, Specs?" He smirked. "No, Tyler. I hoped that someone cut up your corpse and fed it to paranas. Obviously I was, you idiot! I'm a doctor. Worrying about people is kind of programmed into my system. It's a curse if you ask me," I surprised myself a lot more than I thought was possible with my answer. And what did he do? Laugh! He fucking laughed! Not full on rolling- on- the- floor laughter but a laugh nonetheless. "This isn't funny, Tyler." "It kind of is. Almost a month ago, I would've sworn that you hated me. Be careful, Specs," he squinted down at me, "or you might actually sound as if you like me." I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself. I was concerned. Don't confuse that with affection. It's two very, very different things." *** When you think that all is not lost in the world. That not all men are pricks and that not all sushi is bad. When you think that there is a light, no matter how dim, at the end of the tunnel. When you think that life isn't the ruthless bitch you've always thought it was... It turns around and bites you in the ass. When you think that the past will always and forever remain where it should be... It comes at you from every direction. Like a violent tsunami destroying everything...and everyone in it's path. Can you change what happened? I wish. Can you stop what's going to happen? God! I really hope so.

What Lurks Beneath the Surface ✔️ by neurotick

"Maybe I should bring you home," he suggests. "Maybe you should find us a more secluded spot," I toss back, snaking my arms around his neck. "You're pretty drunk, Vange." "I am." "And we barely know each other." I feel myself deflate like a balloon after receiving the sharp end of a needle. Of course Rem doesn't want me. Nash doesn't want me, either. Hell, my own father doesn't even want me. What is it about me that's so unlikable? ---------- Good girl Evangeline Porter has always felt like there was a darkness inside of her, just trying to claw its way to the surface. She hides it well, but when she starts having nightmares that feel more like memories, she is desperate for answers. Unfortunately, no one will give them to her. With the help of her longtime crush, Rem, she launches an amateur investigation into her family's history, except what they uncover is more sinister than Evangeline ever could have imagined. The truth doesn't set you free, after all. ‼️WARNING: The romance in this novel is fast-paced. If you want slow-burn, this isn't for you. That's all I'm going to say about it.‼️ ***BOOK THREE IN THE RAE OF LIGHT SERIES. However, it can be read as a stand-alone.*** Copyright © 2020 Briana Eliza. All rights reserved.
