Tayla never really had a good outcome with boys-with the little amount of experience that she has-and begins to feel a little lost when it comes to love. In her reflections, she back-draws to her past experiences with boys as she prepares to leave for college, and realizes that in the entirety of her time seeking affection, she had defects of her own. In trying to understand herself she dives into what love really means, and what this day in age brings to young lovers like her just trying to find a genuine connection with a boy. In this new bound journey she encounters guys and friends that boost her existence, whether good or bad, and a new vision of life will emerge from her pacified love life. Here, she will encounter the temptation of caving into the norms or society when it comes to finding a guy, while trying to seek answers of wandering questions about herself as a partner.

✔️ The Afflicted Hearts (The Unwanted Bride Series: Book Two)
Perfection is a performance. Feeling is the flaw in the script. Juniper has not only survived the first phase of the Marriage Process- barley- she somehow managed to be in the top three contestants meaning she has to stay. Much to the disappointment to everyone involved. Now she's expected to spend who knows how long with three bachelors who clearly want nothing to do with her-and in some cases, would rather see her disappear entirely. But as the season drags on, cracks begin to form in their carefully constructed lives. Behind every cold glare and forced smile is a story no one dares to speak aloud, especially not to the unwanted bride they are forced to spend time with. And when masks begin to slip, so do the boundaries between them. Juniper never expected to find connection. They never expected to care. But in a world built on control and illusion, can something real survive?Complete

Black & White
A story, in which a typical teenage girl falls for the school's bad boy. Except, she's not that typical and he's not that much of a bad boy. *** "If I told you that I care about you, more than anyone in your life does, would you believe me?" He asked me, his jaw clenched. I could tell he was furious. Yet somehow, I wasn't scared of him. "No" I shook my head bravely. "If I told you,'' He tried again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing.''That you make me so fucking mad, I want to punch a fucking wall. What would you say?" He had me trapped now, my back painfully colliding with the wall behind me. I gasped at the impact, looking up into his icy grey eyes. They were cold, emotionless. As always. "Do it!" I dared him with the last ounce of courage I had left in me. The sound of his fist smashing through the wall right next to my head, made my ears ring for a brief moment. I opened my mouth to speak again, shaking slightly, only for him to pull away and leave me standing there alone. ____ !!Warning!!
