Vegas Girl Series BOOK 2
She promised to let him go. He promised to stay away. But some promises are impossible to keep.
A year has passed since Ava made the hardest choice of her life, walking away from Leigh, her almost-stepbrother and the boy she was never supposed to love. He left for Princeton, she stayed in Vegas, and neither of them has spoken since.
Now their parents are officially married, and Ava and Leigh are forced back under the same roof for the summer in their mountain house. They've both grown, both changed, but the pull between them hasn't gone anywhere. If anything, it's only gotten stronger.
Hiding their feelings gets harder with a house full of people watching. Claire, Leigh's friend from Princeton, makes Ava question everything. Lucas, Ava's classmate, won't stop chasing her. And Arlen and Lilith turn into obstacles Ava and Leigh never saw coming.
With rivals, friends, and family circling closer, secrets are harder to keep. Ava and Leigh try to fight for their love, but the more they resist, the more impossible it becomes. And sooner or later, someone will find out.

Season 1 of My Brother's Best Friend ********* Maddie Davis has been in love with her brother's best friend, Cameron Holden, since she was in the sixth grade. They used to be best friends, too, until he got into high school and became a version of himself she didn't even recognize. Everyone said he was a shoo-in for the NFL, and he let it get to his head. Right before high school started, he worked out until he was built like a sculpture, he got rid of his braces, and suddenly the girls fell at his feet. But that was fine because her middle school crush faded. And besides, even if she did think he was hot, Cameron wasn't someone she could go for even if she wanted to.

Gabriel & Athena, Book One: Fate (A Wattpad Featured Story)
FORMERLY TITLED "FATUM" Chosen as a Wattpad Featured Story in May 2017 There's a reason high school senior Athena Thorpe spends every available moment reading books: fiction is always so much better than the real world. Even the unexpected scandal she suffered thanks to Jackson Montgomery was just a blip in her typically mundane existence in Sparrow, North Carolina. But no story could ever compare to the life-altering events that occur when Gabriel Valente moves into town. Being the son of a notorious crime lord and having grown up on the streets of Manhattan, Gabriel defies all the expectations the students of Sparrow High have for him, including Athena's. She never expected he would match her interest in the written word, or his unlikely grand gestures and definitely not the immediate but intense feelings which cause them to spiral into a secret relationship. A relationship that hinders on Gabriel's uncertain future, which could find him being the heir to the mob throne. Whether or not she wants to admit it, Athena knows the world Gabriel comes from is a dark and violent one. It's just really easy to pretend it doesn't exist within the bubble that is Sparrow. Yet, no matter how much we pretend, reality is never far away, with Gabriel and Athena learning a tragic lesson about choice and consequence a little too late. When you finally decide what you want most in life, the next question becomes: will fate agree?Complete
