[Thornton Boys - Book 4]
Princesses don't end up with thieves, and thieves don't deserve princesses. Read any old children's fairy tale, they all end the same; the princess marries the prince and they live happily ever after. The thief is forgotten, as he should be. He's nothing more than a plot twist, a forgettable bad guy complicating an otherwise perfect love story. ...Right?
So what happens when the thief realises he's still what the princess needs, he just isn't who she thinks he is? What happens when you forget what you learned in the fairy tales and decide to trust your heart with what it truly wants, rather than what it thinks it's supposed to want?
Axel's getting out of jail, and he wants nothing to do with Maya fucking Phillips. But she's too close to the people he wronged; she's too god damn involved to be ignored. And when Axel discovers that Maya is, in fact, his beloved prisoner pen-pal; he decides he no longer wants to ignore her.
Maya's been in her own personal jail, inside her head, for almost five years now. Ever since he left her. He's back now, but he's not the same person she once knew; he's reckless, dangerous, lawless, despicable. She could never feel for him now, how she did when they were kids. But when someone close to both Maya and Axel goes missing, she's forced to put her feelings - old and new - to one side and come together with her old flame, for the greater good. That is, you know, if he's even capable of anything good. Only time will tell, but someone's life is on the line, and time happens to be running the fuck out.

Suffocate: Book Four (bxb) ✔️
Book four of five in the New Beginnings Series. VALENTINE PIERCE: My dearest cousin is going on his honeymoon, leaving me jobless for two weeks. Maybe that's a little dramatic, but it left me open and needing something to do. Allison Yates, the CEO of the label August works for has tasked me with helping Vesper Quinn adapt to the changes in his life. Which means, I have to be his temporary manager until they can find him one. Normally, I would have jumped for joy at the opportunity, except, Vesper decided I'm nothing but a snobby rich kid, who does whatever he wants. If I want it, I get it. It stemmed from Vesper finding out that I showed his videos to the company. He was signed, and he wasn't the least bit appreciative. See, I followed him for years. I was once intrigued by him. We even... went on dates. I thought he liked me, and I even thought we were headed somewhere. But then he vanished for almost two years. He stopped making music. He changed his number. He didn't contact anyone. Until he finally showed up for his audition, and he was signed. Sure, I thought, maybe we still had a chance. Until it evaporated that night in the stairwell. So, why is he being kind to me? I'm not falling for his tricks. I won't let him in again. I tried twice. I even gave him a chance after he vanished on me-but then I saw the way he looked at me when he not only found out what I'd done to help him, but who I was related to. But something is going on with him. I see it in his eyes. The mistrust. And then I find out he's suffocating, and he's been alone. It's dangerous to fall after the soon-to-be superstar, but I want him. I desperately want him, and I have for years. Hey, it's Christmas-anything can happen, right?Complete

The first thing you need to understand about this story is it stems from a place of really deep mistrust and an unforgivable betrayal. That's an angry theme. But that all of that changes when we realise there's a lot more to this ever-expanding story! If there are Witches in this universe then obviously there are Witch hunters to just finish them off. There's a rich history or a back story where almost 20 years ago the hunters gathered and removed all existence of witches with elemental magic (Controlling Earth, Fire, Water, Air & Spirit ) but only two survived. That's when the book jumps in to follow the path of those survivors. Um, there are factions of offensive(Elementals) and defensive covens(Guardians) and then there's the elements of epic love, love that consumes the people involved and of course what's love without a little danger. - Thank you so much if you've read this far. I deeply urge you to binge read the book and decide for yourself whether it's unputdownable or not. Thank you so much by the way dear reader. By reading this book you are supporting a plus-sized lgbtqiaap+ community model/writer who has seen nothing but struggle and blatant discrimination everywhere.Complete
"Like In Fairytales"
[Completed✔] "Like in Fairytales this story has princesses and prince with their endearing passion and eternal love and compassion. People who aren't selfish but kind and think of others. People who are perfect." Well I could say this but then I would be lying. This is not a story about perfectionism but the opposite. Where the characters realize that their is as much horror in the light as there is beauty in the dark. Where they learn the only way you can describe life is that it goes on. That love is not finding a soulmate who tames your wildness but someone who runs wild with you. That the only way out of this labyrinth of life is through it. That it takes more than a pulse, a working pair of lungs and a pumping heart to call a homo sapien a human. It's a journey of people, being pretentious and perfect, to being a hot mess. Life may be safer at the sidelines but the real game is in the playground. .... STARTED ON 18TH JANUARY 2020. ENDED ON 19TH NOVEMBER 2020 ..... It's a new project I shall be working on. The updates may be slow. Sorry. It is kind of a spin off on my 'Cole' Series. That book was supposed to highlight the misadventures but it turned into a Fairytale. Let's find out what it is 'like in Fairytales'.Complete

WISHBONE: Chords & Collars
Boy meets boy. Boy mocks boy. Boy falls (a little too hard). Dior Max is all sharp edges and smoother fabrics-stylish, strategic, and emotionally unbothered. Or so he pretends. Brix Julian is a walking headache with a guitar: smug, loud, and alarmingly good at sending the wrong message. They argue. They prank. They lock eyes for too long in crowded hallways. It's not flirting-it's war. Obviously. But somewhere between the teasing and tension, Dior starts collecting hope-one red paper heart at a time. Every mixed signal? Folded. Stored. Counted. He'll confess when the jar is full. Because maybe, just maybe, Brix means it. SPOILER ALERT: he doesn't. Turns out the signals were smoke, the crush was one-sided, and the heartbreak? Custom-tailored. Chords vs. Collars. Gloss meets grit. A stylish slow-burn that stings where it shouldn't. Because the cruelest crushes don't break-they hum. ___________// ⚠ gentle heads-up! This story explores sensitive themes such as homophobia, emotional trauma, misunderstandings, and the use of strong language. Please read with care and kindness to yourself. Your heart and well-being matter most. ♡ (Note: This story is currently a work in progress and may include typos or little grammar hiccups. Thank you for your patience and love!) 🧵🎸 just a tiny disclaimer: This story is fictional. Some scenes are inspired by real moments I experienced in junior high, and a few characters are loosely based on old friends. But everything else names, places, events is purely imagined. Any similarities are purely coincidental. This is a personal story, a metaphor for a forbidden love I once had. If it feels familiar or cliché, that's not intentional. This story is mine. 🫶🏻Complete

Runaway Baby
She was born into the gang. She had a choice of being apart of the gang, or living the simple life. She chose to live the simple life with her parents and brother, until her parents tragically passed away in an accident. Or what she thought was an accident. She knew she had to join the gang for survival. That was the story of Evelyn Arsen. He had a simple life. His dad wanted the best for his three children. His father didn't want any of his children being apart of any gangs, but fate had decided otherwise. After a tragic loss, Mason and his father had decided to get vengeance against those who caused their loved ones so much pain. That was the story of Mason Evans. When Evelyn and Mason meet, things start to change. People start to show who they truly are. Evelyn and Mason are taken on a ride that shows their cruel past. They had temporarily memory loss, but someone else controlled their brain and that's when they find out the truth about themselves and their past. And this is the story of Evelyn Arsen and Mason Evans. +++++ Quick Note ~ Hey all! How's it going? I know this story just sounds like a typical love story, but it has a twist. In the description, it refers to Mason and Evelyn's past, but in the story, it's basically set in the present but has a few flashbacks. Also, Runaway Baby may have 15 parts but each chapter is roughly 6-10 pages long (not including the final few chapters), so it's a good length short story. Hope you enjoy it, and please send me some feedback on things I need to improve and what you like about this book :) Until then ~ xoComplete
