"Love." I say breathlessly. "Isn't a strong enough word to describe what I feel about you."

Book One of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** #1 in bxb tag: 09/21/2024 #4 in friendstolovers tag: 9/21/2024 CYRUS PIERCE: I'm content in my almost soundless world. I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.

My Protector by seattleghostwriter

With both of his hands to either side of me, he leaned closer, less than an inch away from my ear. I felt him take a breath and the hairs on the back of my neck instantly stood up, electricity running down my body.. "You're mine, don't you understand? How many times do I have to tell you this." he growled. I looked up at him, starting straight into his warm hazel eyes full of anger and lust. The one thing that made me fall in love with him in the first place... But I wasn't going to admit that. Loren was carefree, kind, and forgiving. When she broke up with her boyfriend of 6 years, she vowed to stay single until she learned to love herself. What will she do when she meets Killian, the one person who could care less about this vow? Killian was the arrogant CEO of the largest investment firm in Seattle. He was an ass to everybody around him, used to getting every girl he wanted with just one look. Not an ounce of kindness seemed to live in his heart. After he meets Loren, his world is turned upside down. With money and power comes danger; will he be enough to protect her from the rest of the world? #1 in SexScenes (8/20/21) #1 in Arrogant (12/11/21) #1 in Sweetheart (12/11/21) #1 in Cliche (9/5/21) #1 in newwriter (10/24/21) #1 in control (1/7/22, 8/1/22) #2 in Steamy (8/20/21) #3 in Murder (4/14/22) #1 in BillionaireRomance (11/2/22) #6 in Killian (8/19/21) #86 in Romance (8/20/21)
