seraphic [h.s]
1988. Self discovery wasn't something that came easy to Mabel, in fact, she'd refused to deal with the matter since decisions seemed to always be made for her. She wasn't sure how she'd ever get by, living in the small suburban town within Los Angeles. Although one thing she did know, her sister was coming back to town for the summer. What she didn't know, was why the mysterious drummer boy would smoke marlboro cigarettes and only speak to her when he felt like it. It was quite frankly irritating having to meet his gaze everywhere she looked, but then again, it would only be for the summer. *this story contains mature and explicit themes*Complete

"If you're brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello." - Paulo Coelho With that said, goodbye to the wrong woman in my life and hello to my reward-whoever she is... I owe my newfound thought process to the woman I befriended and become my best friend for life--Shiloh. She taught me many things. What she taught me the most was how to love, that I can love, and that I will love. My heart expanded like never before the day she had her little girl, and I was over the moon with how that moment made me feel--even though that moment cost me ten stitches to the forehead. I enjoyed the swelling feeling of my heart so much that it had me wishing I'd, too, find my soulmate. I never thought I'd hear the day for me to say I'd like to find that remarkable woman to settle down with for the rest of my life and wish to expand my family tree. But here I am, looking to do just that. The day Sawyer walked into my Tattoo parlor, my heart reacted in a way it never had before for any woman I crossed paths with. The beautiful blonde had my heart racing, my palms sweating, and the unit behind my pants twitching. I also felt nervous and feverish, which is not like me. And if that's what feeling in love feels like, then I'm determined to do whatever it takes to win her love. Cover artist: www.selfpubbookcovers.com/billwycComplete

He was the guarded CEO with too many secrets and too much family pressure. She was the observant, ambitious med student with a soft heart and a spine of steel. They expected duty. They got something far messier. Between late-night confessions, shared silences, and unexpected tenderness, Roman and Layla begin to discover pieces of each other no one else sees. But love, for them, is never simple. It's stolen glances across dinner tables, fights that cut too deep, and vulnerability that feels like war. Family expectations loom. Old wounds resurface. And just when they begin to fall for real, the weight of everything they didn't say threatens to pull them apart. Still, something keeps drawing them back because maybe love isn't always about the perfect beginning. Sometimes, it's about choosing each other again and again, even when it's hard.Complete
