This is Carter.

It's become Ava Collins' mantra since she met him in college. A way to remind herself that she isn't like all of the other women falling at his feet for just one night with him. A reminder that she can ignore his rogueish good looks and infamous history with women because she knows the truth of the man beneath.

This is her brother's roommate. This is her coworker. This is her best friend.

But after a decade of cuddled-up movie nights and building a business together, there's something new developing in this friendship - lies.

She had never lied to Carter before, not once. But ever since a missent text message had sent her running to his apartment for an unexpected night with the city's most accomplished playboy, lying was all she seemed to be able to do around him. Lies about their friendship, about the new benefits that came along with it, and about just how much she was allowing it to affect her heart. Because, though Ava would never admit it, she was pretty sure she was falling in love with her best friend.

But she couldn't be. After all...

This is Carter.

Nicky Peters sets out on an emotional roller coaster when she creates a melody from an old high school journal entry which develops into her debut song for her second album. Her personal and professional life become quickly complicated when she finds herself standing in front of the one person she thought she'd never see again, the same person who unfortunately understands all too well who Nicky's hit song is really about...him. ******** Nicky Peters' rise to fame in country music was fast, being plucked out of obscurity at seventeen after her YouTube videos went viral. After she pens a very personal song from one of her old high school journals called, "Honestly," for her much-anticipated second album, she realizes her feelings will be under a microscope for the whole world to see, including Nate Stanton, her ex-best friend from childhood. He also just happens to be the one person who truly understands the meaning behind her heart-wrenching song. What happens when fate brings her face-to-face with the boy she thought she'd never see again? Nicky quickly realizes airing her emotions out in public via a number-one, hit song can make things complicated fast. As Nate and Nicky reconnect and navigate through their past, truths are revealed, assumptions are at an all-time high, and a publicity nightmare looms which jeopardizes all she's worked so hard for. While Nicky's misfortunes add up, she realizes fame comes with a price. She begins to understand the cold, hard facts, keeping her career intact as country's "it" girl and maintaining a personal life may be more difficult than it sounds, especially when you're living through a public scandal.

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

Savannah goes on holiday with her boyfriend and her friends. Meeting one person on the trip changes everyone's lives. -------- "There's my angel." He says in admiration with a huge smile on his face as he makes his way towards me on the bed. He rests on top of me, laying his head down on my lap. I naturally begin to give him head scratches. "Oh, I missed this." He adds. I laugh lightly. "You've only been gone for a few hours." "The entire time I was just thinking about what I want to do to you when I see you." I try to hide my smile yet I fail. "Oh really? What's that?" "Let me show you." He sits up and rests his hand on my upper thigh as he begins to kiss me. We pull away and I brush my hand over my lips to dry it slightly. "Is that it? That's disappointing." A smirk forms on his face. "We both know that when I actually do show you what I really want to do, you try to push me away a little and tell me to be softer because it hurts you too much." I know exactly what he's talking about but I try to play it off. "I don't think that's true." "You know it's true, I can see it replaying in my mind and it won't be long until I see it again." "You're lying." He takes it as a challenge, making me regret and love I started this. ----------------------------- CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE, SENSITIVE TOPICS AND SPICY PARTS Chapters with the * contains sexual scenes and they are clearly indicated in the chapter so you can skip those parts!
