After a hard divorce, Ada's life changed into one of maturity and responsibility. Taking care of her younger, troubled sister, making dinner, cleaning the house, keeping files organized all became Ada's life while her mother went out to fill the hole left by her father in the workplace. Rather than fantasize about hotties, go out to a drinking party, or even play sports, she concentrated on cleaning, working part-time, and schoolwork. Distractions were not welcome. 

In contrast, Cristian looks for distractions of any form--especially female. Flirtatious, suave, and fun-loving, Cristian's a huge party wrapped up in one convenient person. He has traveled around the globe with his parents and has had opportunities in life many could only dream of.

So what happens when the debonaire Cristian transfers to Ada's school and they intermingle? What happens when they each learn about the secrets hidden within each other's past? Will they burn out or help each other turn on the light?

68 parts Complete Mature
how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.

Thomas is a shameless guy of an outstanding beauty, rebellious and greedy for life. Transferred for misconduct from London in a private school in the outskirts of Milan for his father's order, he looks like an alien at a country fair: him, conscious of his superiority but disoriented, and the others, especially the fairer sex, staring at him open mouth. During his exile he's entrusted to Anna, his new classmate; the hope is that she could help him to recover at school, but not only this. Anna is a young wounded angel. About the life, until that moment, she has mainly knew hardness and suffering, becoming the guardian of a terrible secret which doesn't allow grandstanding or distractions. She's an expert on battles against monsters, she identifies Tom's one and in the silence of a discreet friendship she takes care of his weaknesses until healing him. He's impressed, also grateful, and wants to return the favour, but to help her is much more difficult. Very different Annie and Tom's worlds, but equally troubled by challenges worth a lifetime. Guys animated by the yearning to fully enjoy every moment, to accumulate experiences without worrying too much about consequences, from high to the first heartbeats, where moments of collective exaltation are followed by small and large personal dramas. An alternation of funny and touching landscapes, a bittersweet recipe to savour again the most beautiful and free years of the life. To know more, look for me on Facebook.

✬ 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕒𝕣𝕜 & 𝕃𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕊𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤 ✬ There is a crucial moment in one's life that determines the outcome of everything; well, as books and movies would have you believe. But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. 𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ➃ 𝕠𝕗 ➃ - ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.

Allie's life has been flipped upside down. She's never been a big fan of change, but as she starts her dreaded first year of high school, it's feeling like a friend- or, rather, an enemy that she completely loathes. Gwen, her best friend, used to have absolutely no interest in boys. Yet, Allie's brother catches her eye. Alec and Gwen sign a contract to have a fake relationship, mostly to throw Allie off, but instead of that, they throw her onto misery. They never expected the train wreck to end with her and Cole... and well, like most love stories, the signers (Alec & Gwen) just can't resist the blooming love they have for each other. ***
