Some things are worth waiting for…

Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago—an event that forever changed her life. All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe—please God—make a few friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace. The one thing she didn’t need and never planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she’s building for herself.

 Some things are worth experiencing…

Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of striking blue eyes and a remarkable ability to make her want things she believed were irrevocably stolen from her. She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is freaking everywhere, with his charm, his witty banter, and that damn dimple that’s just so… so lickable. Getting involved with him is dangerous, but when ignoring the simmering tension that sparks whenever they are around each other becomes impossible, he brings out a side of her she never knew existed.

 Some things should never be kept quiet…

But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she wants silenced, she’s has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurface this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?

HIGHEST RANKS EVER: #4 in #ENEMIES (2021) #1 in #ENEMIESWITHBENEFITS (2021) #1 in #HUMOR (2020) #1 in #BOYFRIEND (2021) Sometimes in an unproductive relationship, it's normal for a person to want a little more. But who's to know when one has crossed the line from a craving, into an obsession? What makes it even worse, is when what you're intrigued in, is found in a person you loathe. Jennifer Crosby is no stranger to the paradox of wanting someone you despise. Ever since middle school, her and Collin Myers have been engaged in a hate-hate relationship. Which of course has followed them all the way to high school. But when Jennifer has matured, and looks aren't something Collin can tease her about, what's he to do? Confused by his own feelings towards the beaut, he found her during her own dilemma. Things get heated at a school party and Jennifer realizes that Collin possesses what she's been looking for - intimacy. She'll do anything to satisfy her needs, even if he has anything to do with it. But a person can only have sex a number of times before they start to develop feelings. Feelings that are practically forbidden in the enemies with benefits relationship that they share. They become hard to hide, especially if Collin's jealous friends have anything to do with it. Then, whether their emotions actually do exist or not becomes a matter of true life or death.

Unexpectedly by kierra97

‘He went out of the room. In his boxers. Again. Like the laws and principles of the universe, which were scientifically proven, I couldn’t help but scowl. He smirked. “Well, stop drooling all over me.” I wrinkled my nose. “Right. Good luck with your delusions.” With that, I prepared to leave. Cam’s jaw twitched. He walked closer to me. Closer still. His green eyes held me in place. Before I knew it, he was standing inches from me. I was holding my breath. He smiled confidently. “Falling in love with me?” I didn’t know why... but I was speechless.’ Seventeen year-old Shea Collins’s life was pretty much falling apart. She was flunking her Physics class, she has a hundred bucks to pay to a long-lost childhood friend she could barely remember, she was receiving anonymous declarations of love from a secret admirer (which were completely embarrassing), and now her spot on the school paper is in jeopardy. What she wants: To keep her spot as the feature editor of the school paper. How she plans to do it: To survive being a phantom writer. A writer no one would know of. A mystery. Someone who would write gossips and rumors about students. Who she’s planning to target: Oh, just the biggest jerk of the century—Camden Sun. What she’s going to get: Trouble. Lots of it. What she didn’t expect: The unexpected (duh). Love.

°•♧The quiet before the storm♧•° by @lorvy_nn. tt:marcel_xzs. "She was the most precious thing my eyes had ever witness,she was like a butterfly gentle and delicate and i was gonna do everything to protect her". ꒷꒦︶꒷꒦︶ ๋ ࣭ ⭑꒷꒦꒷꒦︶꒷꒦︶ ๋ ࣭ ⭑꒷꒦ Avery Hart is an 18-year-old college freshman with big dreams of becoming a lawyer. Sweet, kind-hearted, and determined, she always sees the best in people, which makes her lovable but also vulnerable.

She's in a relationship with Diego Martinez, captain of the rugby team who has a perfect,sweet and open relationship. in her apartment, Avery navigates college life, betrayal, and new friendships while unexpectedly crossing paths with Adrian Ryde, a charming yet mysterious figure. Her journey is one of growth, self-discovery, and balancing her aspirations with the complexities of love and trust. Here's a revised description of Adrian, focusing on his cold demeanor towards others and how he feels differently about Avery: Adrian Ryde is the kind of guy people notice, but no one truly knows. He's charming when he wants to be, with an easy smile and an air of confidence that makes him the center of attention in almost any room. But while others might see him as a socialite or someone who just fits in effortlessly, those who get closer quickly realize that Adrian keeps everyone at arm's length. He's cold, distant, and always seems to be holding something back. Adrian doesn't care to form close connections with people, and his emotional walls are as solid as they come. He's the kind of guy who stays calm, collected, and rarely lets anyone see beneath the surface. He's fine with people admiring him from a distance, but he doesn't let anyone get too close. That is, until he meets Avery. There's something about her that gets under Adrian's skin in ways he can't explain.
