For the well-to-do Malone cousins, reputation is everything. For the elder cousin, Clara, her reputation is staked to her swift tongue and clever mind. The younger, Ophelia, is a gentle and pure young lady born into a wealthy society, dreaming of the day when she will marry the man of her dreams. Clara is much the opposite, having sworn off love after many a failed attempt. Only when a group of familiar faces blows into town and stays under the same roof do the Malones find themselves in uncharted territory. In this retelling of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, we find the Bard's classic characters thrown into the chaotic world of the American 1920s, complete with lovable gangsters, roaring parties, and the ever-high stakes of romance and all it carries with it.

Bumping Into You
Ophelia is used to being seen as the school's most popular boy's unapproachable (and lesbian) twin sister. Senior year will be no different. She will sit at the same table of girls with her best friend, Beverley, at lunch. She will flirt with a few of the sickeningly straight girls who can't stop talking about how hot her brother, Orion, and his friends are. Maybe she'll even figure out what she wants to do with her life before graduation. At least that's her thought process going into school on the first day. But when she accidentally bumps into the new girl that same day, she can't help but wonder if a few, if not all, her plans for her senior year are going to change. Maybe she even wants them to, although the thought of changing things for a beautiful girl after she's been a little bit against romance for so long is shocking and a little nerve-wracking to say the least. *Not Edited - Will be After Completion*![Locked Out of Heaven [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/37410573-256-k239953.jpg)
Locked Out of Heaven [Complete]
All is not well in the underworld. In this modernized Romeo and Juliet story, the Romeo is the only son of Don Elias, the head of one of the city's biggest Italian mob families. The Juliet is the only daughter of an affluent family whose claim to fame is their hugely successful business in the manufacturing of children's products. When they meet, sparks fly. This will be the beginnings of the great fire that will eventually consume their lives and families as they struggle against fate and social boundaries. Unfortunately though, this isn't a typical Romeo and Juliet rip off because there are guns, a lot less love and lots more blood. Read at your own risk. Excerpt: He slowed down, tugging back a little on her hand. Adelina looked back and smiled. He smiled back, desperately holding back the emotions that threatened to burst out. It will be enough to watch her from a distance. Maybe when he's old and bent, this one kiss would remind him that, once, he had been touched by an angel and then perhaps he might've done something to be proud of. But for now, he wants to prolong the moment for as long as possible. A damned soul catching a glimpse of Heaven's gates before falling to Hell, grasping at clouds to slow his descent.Concluida

Absorbed with scoring, they miss the perilous, little flame they shared in the past as it slowly stokes to become an unstoppable inferno. Between playing with their hearts and playing with the fire, Someone is bound to get burned. Read to find out who.Concluida

However, he could not deny there was something about her... This is a historical fantasy romance novel, heavy focus on the romance.Concluida
