PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS TOXIC! 
******************************************
"Oh right, the waitress. Sorry I can't think straight with pretty women around me, especially this red head. What's your name, love?" 

The audacity to openly flirt with me, I'm a stranger for fuck's sake. Noting his rich English accent, I'm guessing he's from the Southern Suburbs and doesn't speak a word Afrikaans, unlike Erina and I. Typical behaviour. 

"Please, you probably tell that to all the women you see here. Let me guess, your next cheesy pick-up line is going to be, 'Do you ladies come here often?'" I snort out. 

"Her name is Skylar, please excuse her, she hasn't been in the public for quite a while now, so she forgot how to socialise," Erina says with a smile while taking her drink from the tray and takes a sip. 

******************************************
Skylar Read was once told that love is toxic. She did not believe it of course.

After getting her heart shattered by a guy named Dwayne, she falls out of love, with being in love and desperately wants to break away from the boring cycle of school and work. 

She meets a handsome man named Sven, who is the opposite of Dwayne, and becomes infatuated with him but still struggles to get her first love off of her mind. 

Through the course of her relationship, she steps out of her comfort zone and crosses boundaries she thought she never would, but can Sven really be that perfect? 

Will Miss Read learn that love is indeed toxic? If so, will she manage to escape the ties that will bind her to this toxic relationship before she becomes intoxicated?

Why don't we just relieve that tension?" He whispered out huskily, his eyes going back and forth between my eyes and lips. "That could be a problem." I push him away gently with my hand. "Why?" I look at him leaning against the counter and I take in his features. His eyes were dark as he stared at me with a lustful expression. "Because sexual attraction always leads to mental attraction and before you know it, you're pulled into all that Lovey shit." I shiver with disgust. He smirks at me with amusement. He leans in and cages me in with both of his arms. "First sexy, I don't do that lovey shit. All I think about when I see you is what you would look like on your knees and if you taste as sweet as your lips." He takes my lip in between his teeth and bites down slightly. ******************************************** Kristen Caterina Black is anything but nice, She loves to screw around, but what happens when she screws with the wrong person? Specifically that person being the infamous Jesse Blake? Following that Jesse Blake and Kristen Black happen to live right next door to each other. Let's just say, a whole lot of cursing happens. (Sequel to shy girl.) P.s you won't have to read the first book to understand the second, but I highly encourage to read the first book.

This story sucks, don't read it! It's amazing how quickly your life can change. In a slow town like this, where nothing exciting ever happens, where nothing ever changes, one single moment can alter your life forever, for better, or for worse. Sometimes, we're lucky enough to be able to recognise these particular moments, and take a leap of faith, but, more times than not, they just happen without us even realizing what's going on until it's already too late. Tonight, a simple Saturday night, just like any other, would turn out to be one of the most defining moments of my life. Ace is living a slow life, knowing nothing other than drinking with his friends and the motorcycle club that raised him, waiting to reconnect with his father who has just been released from prison after a fifteen year sentence. Life is simple, though he thought. Until the night he meets Jenna, running from her haunting past and the man that she is desperately trying to escape. Ace is dead set on protecting Jenna, but, as she slowly learns to trust him enough to open up to, he finds himself landing in the middle of a human trafficking operation and a feud that goes way back, between the ringleader and his club. Suddenly, life doesn't seem so simple... Work in progress, especially the blurb! This story has content which may offend some readers. Mild coarse language! Physical and sexual violence! Lots of drug references! First draft! I don't own the cover image! I'm a disappointment to my family!

Trying to escape her home life in order to save her little brother, Skylar must decide between keeping secrets or saving herself. With the help of Beckett, her first love, and his family Skylar might be able to break the cycle and stop from becoming everything she hates. Preview: I gritted my teeth when I saw that Beckett was still sitting there. I released Waylin's hand and pulled Beckett up from the chair and across the hall. "What do you want?" I asked harshly, trying not to raise my voice. "Nothing, I just thought you might need somewhere to stay. You said that you didn't have any relatives in the area, and I figured you and Waylin could stay at my house. My parents wouldn't mind." I rolled my eyes and took a deep breath to compose myself. "What makes you think I would want to stay with you? Huh?" I asked. He didn't flinch at my words, but looked sadly down at me. "Please, just put the past aside and do what's right for Waylin." "Don't you dare tell me what is best for Waylin! I've been taking care of him pretty damn well his whole life. You have no right to assume otherwise about my decisions." He put up his hands in surrender and sighed. "Look, I don't know why your mom is in the ICU, I don't know anything, okay? I just know that you're going to need somewhere to stay where there are actual adults because you aren't his guardian, and I don't see any social workers around. So, what? You told them you had a family member coming to get you, right?" I rolled my eyes and he continued. "Right. So, what are you going to do when they send social services to your house?"
