[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.

He asked and I looked up at his eyes. I didn't have to ponder over the matter long. "I don't know." I said softly. Daimen frowned and studied me for a while, "Just wondering, because you seem to love pissing me off. And most people don't. So I guess you need some figuring out to do." ********* Daimen and River were both seniors at the same high school, they took some of the same classes, walked the same halls, live in fair distance from each other, but they couldn't have been more different.

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![Breathe [mature romance] - PREVIEW ONLY](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/64851756-256-k621727.jpg)

Free on Wattpad. ********** A GOOD MAN, FALLING APART Small town police officer Simon Labelle repressed his attraction to sexy shopgirl Leona Chaisty for years. He's good at controlling his feelings--or he used to be, before the bombing that he can't solve, that he should have prevented. Now, after a chance encounter with Leona at the lake, Simon can't get her out of his head. All those high school fantasies roar to life. A BAD GIRL, WISHING FOR MORE Leona is drawn to the intensity in Simon's pretty-boy blue eyes, but he's a good man, and she's not just hopelessly kinky--she'll never know how to love. Still, unlike everyone else, Simon acts like she might actually have a heart. The more time they spend together, the more she wishes he were right. A CHALLENGE NEITHER CAN RESIST After a second unsolved case pulls them together, their sexual chemistry rattles them both, and hints at an unsettling fetish that Simon struggles to suppress. Leona pushes Simon to decide what he wants--whether to dominate, submit, or some mix of both--while Simon, already falling for his dream girl, finally gets her to admit that she's lonely. Each challenges the other to reveal more, to cede control, to be vulnerable. But they're both more fragile than they appear. It's only a matter of time before one pushes too hard, and the other breaks. ********** Trigger warnings for depression, suicidal ideation, and possibly alcoholism. Significant child abuse (neglect only) is also part of a character's backstory. There is gender-bending, femdom, and a pretty scary control-based fetish. There is also off-screen violence and death, and mild on-screen violence.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
