A disastrous night out might be all Caden needs to open her eyes to what is truly going on in their relationship. Throw in some new friends and a handsome stranger, and Caden's life is about to take an unexpected turn.

Crossing 21
Landon O'Brien is the boy who laughs too loud, flirts too much, and never lets anyone see past the surface. At seventeen, he's mastered the art of making everyone think he's fine. Life at home with his single mam and two younger siblings is chaos wrapped in love and too much noise-but it's his noise. He's used to being the glue. The one who keeps the mood up. The one who makes sure no one ever asks what he needs. Then there's Hannah Brewer. Cold. Untouchable. Sharp enough to draw blood without even raising her voice. She's the girl who doesn't date, doesn't hook up, and doesn't believe in giving second chances when she never gave first ones to begin with. Her house is silent. Her parents are always gone. And she copes in ways no one ever sees-not even her best friend, Reese. The only person who keeps trying to get close? Landon O'Brien. The one person she can't stand. He jokes. She cuts. He shows up. She shuts down. They shouldn't work. And they don't. Not even a little. Until everything else around them starts to fall apart. Behind Landon's laugh is a weight he doesn't share. Behind Hannah's walls are scars no one sees. As the year unfolds-with parties, fights, and friends slowly falling apart-two people on opposite ends of everything start to realize they might be more alike than either of them wants to admit. As their world gets messier-fractured friendships, parties gone wrong, secrets cracking open-Landon and Hannah get pulled into the kind of orbit that can't be explained. Not with words. Not with logic. Just pain. And want. And something they don't have a name for yet. And others leave you crossing lines you swore you'd never touch.Complete
Always There
'"You're a liar. You're a dirty fucking liar," I sob. Despite the fact that I want nothing more than to run away from the man standing in front of me, I know that my grip on his hands is the only thing that's keeping me stable right now. "I didn't lie, sweetheart. I just avoided the topic. If you had figured it out before, I would have told you everything," he claims, pleading with me. I shake my head frantically at him, trying to get the images and thoughts out of my head. "I feel betrayed," I choke. "I don't know if I'll be able to trust you ever again." 🌸🌸🌸 Bryce Bradshaw and Lexi Brooks are living their dream together in New York City. Everything seems to be going well for the pair until Bryce loses control of the secrets that he's keeping. A secret that Bryce has been desperately hiding from Lexi is released, and it seems as if Lexi's world is crumbling as she fights to forgive Bryce.

Eventually, Bryce and Lexi find a way to move past this hurdle, but this seem to come at the cost of their happiness. 🌸🌸🌸 'Something There' Book #3Complete
Colton's Miracle ✔️ (Moved To Inkitt)
Officially a Wattpad Creator! This book is my lucky charm. Colton has grown up knowing nothing but anger, hatred, and pain. His past doesn't allow him to enjoy life like others do. Instead, he paints a glare on his face that scares most people away. And then suddenly, a petite little red head with freckles and a radiant smile shoves her way into his life, changing every concept he thought he knew and breaks every rule he thought he needed. With every encounter, the ice around Colton's heart melts until his heart is free to beat as loudly as it can, just for Lily. With a past even darker than Colton's, Lillian chooses her armor to be a smile. She has so many reasons to succumb to the darkness that fills her once innocent heart, but she focuses on enjoying the new life she just started. Being the new girl means she's free to pretend that she's just like everyone else, normal. And when she meets the rude and grumpy Colton, she can't help but notice how alike they actually are. Slowly, the two broken souls begin to help each other heal, and together, they start to learn what it's like to be loved, unaware that the ghosts of the past are still hovering in the shadows. **Topics mentioned in this story could be triggering, such as: Physical Abuse, and Sexual Harrassment. **There will be mature content (Explicit Scenes and Swearing). **All photos used are not mine and are found for public use. ** This is a work of fiction.

My Mistake
She thought he was perfect, but perfect doesn't exist. Alex had never been in love. Never been kissed. Never even held a boy's hand. So when Ben (the charming, confident, older man) swept into her life, it felt like fate. He said all the right things. Made her feel special. Claimed he was keeping her safe. At first, she believed him. When he checked her phone, it was because he cared. When he told her what to wear, it was because he loved her. When he got really angry, it was her fault, wasn't it? She should've known better. Shouldn't have talked to that guy. Should've texted back faster. Should've listened to him. Then the first slap came. Then the apologies, and promises it wouldn't happen again. But it did. It kept happening. Ben doesn't love Alex. He owns her. And she's learning, slowly and painfully, that love doesn't leave bruises. Love doesn't monitor your every move. Love doesn't isolate you from your friends and family, punish you for breathing the wrong way, or force you to beg for kindness that never lasts. But by the time she sees it for what it is, she's already trapped. And Ben doesn't plan to let her go. Not without a fight. ⚠️TW⚠️Domestic Violence ⚠️TW⚠️ Sexual Assault ⚠️TW⚠️ Emotional and Mental Abuse This is copyright so if you see anyone taking my book please help a girl out and let me know.

But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed.

As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023Complete
