Paying an homage to the classic, Pride and Prejudice, this story begins in Seattle, Washington with Emma Lee. She's working as a line chef in a restaurant, hoping to open her own kitchen one day. When she tags along with a friend to a boat party for the elite, she happens to meet a modern Mr. Darcy, who also frustrates and challenges her beyond any other person she's ever met. She assumes that they'll never have to cross paths again, but it seems that fate has other ideas for the two of them.

Bites & Kisses
Eve thought finishing her first year of university would mean freedom. Instead, it feels like falling - fast. When she meets Michael at a summer party, everything she's bottled up starts to spill out: her fear of failing, her hunger for more, the dizzy pull of someone who finally sees her. He's older. Confident. The kind of man who makes rules just to break them - and now, he's her new boss. Between the chaos of the kitchen and the pull of a man she shouldn't want, Eve discovers what it really means to burn for something - or someone - too much. Sneak Peek: "You should wear your hair up more often," he murmurs, his breath skating across my skin. "It shows the back of your neck." His lips graze that exact spot. "I like the back of your neck, shortcake." The contact is featherlight but somehow burns. His arms bracket me, caging me in without touching. Except for his breath, warm and devastating. I shiver. "W-what?" I manage to say, already breathless. "You heard me." His eyes roam my face, unapologetically, like he's memorizing the shape of every reaction. "And you're allowed to talk to boys," he says, voice low, full of unfiltered intent. "But when it comes to anyone making you feel good-" He finds my hip with one hand. The heat of it steals the sound right out of me. "Say, laugh," he continues, "or come-" His fingers slide slowly up my side, and my eyes snap to his. He's not smiling anymore. He looks possessed. "You're mine." He grips both my hips now and, with ridiculous ease, lifts me onto the desk. His voice drops, primal. "Open."Complete
Prejudice: an austen reimagined novel | 2
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a boy with a rich family must be in want of a future wife." Austin can't get Lily out of his head, but she's made it very clear how she feels about him.

This is the second book in a modern young adult adaptation of Jane Austen's beloved 'Pride & Prejudice'. *This is part two of a re-working of my story 'Netherfield Prep'. I'm splitting it into two shorter pieces, giving them a tidy and a re-write.*Complete

Strength and Sensuality [Completed]
A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence. There's a careful craftsmanship in world-building, character development, and theme." Scripturam Awards "A truly unique story with a quite remarkable a plot! It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work. The characters feel real; three-dimensional. The narration does not feel forced in any way, it flows as it reads." The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City AwardsComplete

I think I'm in love(Jefferson x Reader)
This is my first x reader. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This fluffy fanfic is another college AU that no one wanted. You go to the same college as (B/F), Hamilton, Laurens, Mulligan, Lafayette, the Schuyler Sisters, Burr, Madison, and the one and only... Thomas Jefferson. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Teachers and Classes in Order: Washington=Debate class "King" George=Drama Club Lee=Mathematics class Seabury=History class ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *WARNING* This is meant to be for a female reader.

You don't want your friends to see you with someone like him. They'd think you joined the dark side. But it's not like they'll keep you from the one you love. Eliza already wants to kill you for asking Alexander out (after she told you she had a thing for him) two years ago, only to have him refuse you. So, when the man you truly love makes you think he hates you when he doesn't, what do you do? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You know the drill: (Y/N)=your name (L/N)=last name (B/F)=best friend (E/C)=eye color (H/C)=hair color (F/F)=favorite food (F/R)=favorite restaurant (F/C)=favorite colorComplete

Shut Up And Kiss Me (Loki x Darcy)
Darcy has a habit of making questionable decisions, but when she's offered a job that she'll actually be paid for -- and by the Avengers, no less -- she accepts without hesitation, hoping to advance her career and maybe be taken a bit more seriously too. But she didn't realise the job consists of basically being a glorified 'babysitter' (or Mischief-Minder) to Loki, who has returned to Earth with his big brother. Needless to say, neither of them are too impressed by the situation, especially Loki, who's virtually under house-arrest and now at the mercy of a taser-happy intern. Then the most unexpected thing happens. The pair actually start to get along. This is set after Thor: Ragnarok but in an AU (we're just going to forget about all that Infinity War business for now!) Highest relevant Wattpad Rankings: #1 Darcy Lewis #1 TaserTricks #2 LokixDarcy *WARNING* Contains some adult content (scenes of a sexual nature) and infrequent use of mildly strong language.Complete

• the fear of love • "It's quite the smell, isn't it?" I nodded at his answer. He squeezed my waist, "Do you know what your perfume does to me, Miss Sánchez?" He asked but I didn't answer. "I asked you a question, answer me. Do you know... what your perfume does to me?" I shook my head no. He let out a dark chuckle from the back of his throat before grabbing my left wrist. I didn't know what he was doing... But my eyes widened as he placed my hand on his crotch. ------------ "Just..." I stopped as he started speaking, "Just one thing before you leave" I turned around, as he leaned on the refrigerator. I found my eyes staring at his body, starting from his jaw, to his neck, to his chest, that was visible due to few of his buttons being open but I quickly darted them up to meet his eyes before I would go any below than that. He was already smirking, "Tell me one thing before you leave, Miss Sánchez" he began. "How loud do you think you'll scream, when I have both of your wrists pinned on the bed as I fuck you?" ------------ A certain ginger haired girl, runaway from home, a place where she learned that love isn't something to be given or taken. A place where parents should feel like home but felt like hell. A place where she started fearing love. What happens when a certain morning she bumps into a dirty blonde haired, blue eyed stranger, who had just gotten out of a relationship? What happens when he gets on her nerves?
