angst badboy crush drama goodgirl goodgirlsarebadgirls hot love mystery onenightstand romance sensual sexy smalltown suspense

Jordan must maintain her perfect, good-girl façade no matter what since her ex-husband destroyed her life, or risk losing even more. But when trouble walks through the door in the form of Cole Danielson - tall, dangerously hot, and in town for a few days only, Jordan can't resist a one-night stand. 

Cole dreads this return to the town of his childhood, and he has no intention of staying longer than necessary. But when a gorgeous brunette with irresistible curves drags him into the restroom, he knows two things for sure - he will give her more than a hasty encounter, and she needs a hero.

Years ago, in school, Jordan knew Cole was as broken and lonely as she was, and she's never forgotten her first crush on the bad-boy who lit out of town as soon as he was old enough. Since then, she's learned to trust no one, and her only hope to right the wrongs in her life is to keep her head down.

In this town, Cole's previous crimes could come back to haunt him. But he'll be damned if leaves Jordan to face her demons on her own. No matter the risk.

Changing Affection by uzuriupendo

She leaned forward and scooted closer to him. "It's okay to admit you're wrong." Ezra took a deep breath trying to control himself. He snuck a look at her lips and wanted to touch her plump lips. Her lips smirked at him as he snapped his eyes back up her. She reached up and brushed a stray hair from his forehead. She ran her fingers through his hair slowly. He could feel her fingernails lightly scraping his scalp. "Aubrey." Did his voice go down an octave? "Ezra?" Her eyes darkened slightly. He took a deep breath. "If we start, I won't be able to stop." "What if I don't want you to stop?" --- Ezra. A young gang member is trusted with the kidnapping of Aubrey Hallquist; the daughter of a rich man.

More Than A Pretty Face |completed| by biiiiiitch_brook

Emma Reese's main worries used to be homework, feeding her cat and being able to find her Friends reruns in the DVR. That was until she decides to do something nice for the world, something you'd think she'd be rewarded for, but it seems karma was broken that day for when she offers to lock up the school library after hours she's stormed by five teenage delinquent boys. She thinks she has them bested as she runs away from the still unlocked library when once again life throws her another curveball. Rounding the corner on her way to her gran's house when the dark, mysterious, and somewhat handsome boy she thought she escaped cuts her off. Then, you know what they say; you can't ever just have one potato chip, Mr. Mysterious's friend magically appears not only stealing her backpack but also her freedom. They decide it'd be difficult to hide her body so what's the next best thing? kidnapping. Emma's whisked away from her simpleton life into one of what seems like life in a can. She's never felt more trapped yet somehow free. Carter Tyler is a delinquent. A high schooler who'd somehow managed to work hard enough to graduate a year earlier than Emma and all of his crime thirsty friends even though he was the same age. His first time in the school library after four years of high school he thought would be boring, indifferent if you will. Instead, he somehow ends up home with a seemingly crazy girl and missing his first kiss. In Carter's eyes Emma, who had convinced him her name was Valerie, was weird beyond belief, yet he was somewhat drawn to her. He sees Emma as a judgmental nun who assumes that just because he's been to Juvie a time or two, hasn't ever kissed a girl. That just because he could have any girl in the school that he wanted, had never been on a date. He thought Emma saw him for his looks only, and for some odd reason, he wanted her to see him as more. He wanted to show her he had a heart along with Calvin Klein looks. That he was more than a pretty face.
