"Have you ever felt yourself slowly becoming attached to something that wasn't real?
An idea, or a place, or maybe even the fictional character in that book you just read or that show you just watched.
Perhaps even a person in your dreams?
It happens easily, and it happens fast.
At least it did with me."

***

Adira "Ira" Chase has been haunted by the dreams her entire life.

Sometimes they embody her deepest desires, oftentimes they are the culmination of her worst nightmares.

They're different every night, but one thing about them has always been the same.

Him.

But when the boy of her dreams shows up in her apartment, Ira is forced to face the possibility that her nightmares might not be as far removed from reality as she once thought.

Liam, the boy she's seen every night when she closed her eyes, the boy she's known her whole life, is real, and not only does he claim to share her nightmares, but he informs Ira that they're both in danger.

It seems someone else knows about their connection too, and they're eager to abuse it.

Liam is unpredictable, cocky, and he seems to blame her for the nightmares that have plagued his life for as long as he can remember.

It's a connection that neither of them wants to accept, but if they're going to survive, they're going to have to learn.

39 parts Ongoing Mature
Ira Sharma. She scowls on almost everybody that tries to know her, outside the professional boundary. But she wasn't always like this. She was a lovely, smart girl, whose dream was to study hard and get a job to cater to her ailing mother. But life was harsh enough to shake off all the balance in her life that she had to start learning to live it from the beginning. Her heart and mind have always been in sync with each other. Until one night. When she saw him. Aryan Sehgal. He smiles even at his haters. Coming from a self-made rich family, he had everything he wanted until the picture of his family changed. He was eventually forced by life to take up his grandfather's dream publication company, to save it from moving any closer to the ruinations. Navigating through women's hearts was a game of his left hand, but took an oath to not date anymore in the hope of taking a break before he settled for "the one." Until his eyes met hers. And as if all this wasn't enough, being in each other's vicinity every day was the last thing they both wanted. Ira had promised to not trust people ever again, but she finds herself slipping bit by bit, every second she spends around him, while Aryan loses it sooner than he thought. But he doesn't know her story. And she is rigid enough to not let that guard crumble so soon. Would she be able to maintain her grumpy ulterior with Aryan being by her side? Would she allow herself to live life again? And more importantly, would she be able to allow herself to love ever again?

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights. He has countless tattoos covering his body. And he doesn't care about anything or anyone else. Layla Stevens is your average seventeen year-old girl, just trying to get through high school, with the friends she loves and doing the things she loves. When these two cross paths accidentally in an unusual way, they leave and never expect to speak to each other again. But fate has other plans. Layla finds her way into Reece's life and Reece doesn't know what to do about it. This ray of Sunshine suddenly meant something to him. She understood him when it seemed like no one else did. And he protected her from everyone who tried to hurt His Sunshine. Get ready for a story filled with bad pick-up lines, twin telepathy and a lot of fighting. Like, a LOT. Thanks for that one, Reece.

How to Steal a Heart

62 parts Complete Mature

She's rich, the perfect student, and graduating early. He's a heathen, a heartbreaker, and well he may never graduate... These all might be true, but with every fact, there is a detail to be explained. When people can be seen below the surface of their persona your whole view of them and their lives change. Axel thinks he's a hardass, huh? Well so does Victoria. So which one knows - How to Steal a Heart? ╰┈➤ a taste "I'm a mess," I shake my head, "Apparently a mess only you can see," "Only because I'm looking," He gestures to his eyes. "I see you, there's nothing wrong with seeing you." I completely shift myself to look at Axel. I sat in front of him as he looked down at me. This is the Axel that has me wrapped around his finger. Not the fighter, not the bad boy. The compassionate, well-spoken, devoted, Axel Stone that is sitting in front of me. So when the story comes out of my inevitable demise - know that it was Axel Stone's words that slain me. Not his persona or his larger-than-life muscles -even though those are very nice- it was the way he cared for me. The way he set a fire in my soul, a flame to my heart. The way he anchored me.
