asherwilliams christmas love rosemarypatterson shortstory

❝ My love for him was like a riptide- a strong current leading into the catastrophic disturbance of both of our lives.❞
     Asher Collins has really done it now-  
     Sick of his rural life in Alaska, his dream to live in the city of big lights is seemingly crushed when he lands himself in the town jail- the exact place he was trying to get away from. Technically, it wasn't even his fault that he was in jail, it was his dim-witted, testosterone driven friend who did it.
Regardless of whose fault it is, Asher is stuck in jail until who knows when. When the sheriff proposes the ultimatum of working off his debt by helping the family living a few miles away or stay and rot in jail until he is released, the opportunity to leave is too good for Asher to pass up. 
     Rosemary Patterson doesn't have time to worry about the man that the sheriff says will help her. She's gotten along taking care of her two younger siblings without her parents just fine-that is until a tree lands on her house from an Alaskan blizzard.
     Asher plans to work off his debt during the winter before booking a plane ticket straight out of this hell hole. It's all simple until he meets Rosemary.
     Even though Asher seems to have no recollection of ever meeting her before, Rose remembers him all too well. 
     This time, Rose is determined to guard her heart better than she did two years ago after that incident with Asher. The fact that Asher doesn't remember her shouldn't even bother her, it will only help her move on from the past- at least that's what she tells herself.
     Besides, if he didn't even remember her as the girl whose heart he broke, how hard could it be to spend this winter with him?

Curse Of A Witch (Book 1) by Jack_1_Frost

Jack had almost hurt, or even killed, his friends by accidentally tripping over a curb and creating a massive blizzard. The Guardians were furious since the children's lives were momentarily put in serious danger by one of their own. After a heated argument between Jack and the others, he ran off. He was sick and tired of them not listening to him, always accusing him of something he didn't do, or in this case, unintentionally did. He went to his home again, but in the woods and out of sight. He ran into a witch, who he didnt even know lived there. She begged for some assistance in finding some herbs. Jack, however, declined the offer. She persisted, and that annoyed Jack. He had already been going through enough and this old witch wasn't helping. He then yelled at her to leave him be and to find her own "stupid plants". The witch wasn't happy, in fact, his blind rudeness angered her. So, she cursed him to mortality for 3 months. If he didn't learn how to handle hardships and what it's like being a human in that time frame, he would die. Jack soon meets an unexpected rescuer who takes him in and cares for him. Not only is he fighting against time, but the Boogyman decides to make Jack a target. Will he learn his lesson? Or will he die in 3 months time? If he is to survive, what will happen next? What will happen to Pitch? **This book is not all light hearted, there are serious topics included in it.**

Then in comes Celeste who falls on his lap. Literally. She's the most beautiful, fragile creature he's ever seen and he's intrigued by her. He has this overwhelming feeling to protect her even from Isolde. But that is just not right because Isolde is the one he should be protecting right? Not this woman who he knows nothing about. During the search for her mother, Celeste encounters a witch who kidnaps her and keeps her hostage for months. She can overpower the awful witch but her mother told her not to use her powers on anyone or else people will find out what she is and kill her. So she stays put until a man saves her and sends her to The Prime Howlers where she meets Caspian and Isolde. They are the kindest people she's ever met. At least that's what she thinks. With time, Celeste realizes things aren't as perfect as they seem. Or maybe it's the feelings she's developing for Caspian that has her looking for any excuses to take him away from his mate. Whatever the reason, she's determined to get to the bottom of it.

Partially Rejected by tyughj80

Hello, this story is not good. It was written by a depressed young tween who didn't understand what an abusive relationship is. I'm only keeping it up because it's my only completed book.

Dillon hates his mate and waiting tell he is old enough to reject her. He dose what he can, ignores her, forgets her, because she is nothing but a pathetic human. Or so she thought... . . . "Get out of my head!" He yelled at me. I stood my ground, because I was here and was not leaving. "What's your problem with me?" I hissed. "Your weak, ugly, pathdic, little human, who I could kill so easily. Unfortunately for me I can't reject you yet!" I didn't know what reject meant I knew it was bad, by the way the silent room went quite. "Well I may be ugly, I may be pathdic, and you know what I'm a weak little human. I may not be able to kill you, you can make my life hell, go ahead, do it. You can hate me with every bone in your body. But if you think for a moment I care your wrong." That was the biggest lie I ever told. What happens when an alpha were wolf and element witch meet? What happens if she doesn't even know she's a witch?

Unwanted Mates (Black Moon Book One) by GosiaAC

"He can die 'cause we haven't had sex?" I say as the weight of what she's just told me hits me like a ton of bricks. "The longer the Alpha stays in that state the more dangerous it gets.

Love how the story is unfolding after each chapter" Review by @simrangharge, Twirling pages (The Review book) THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK AND I HOPE YOU ALL WILL HAVE AS MUCH FUN READING IT AS I HAD WRITING IT :) THERE ARE SOME HEAVY TOPICS MENTIONED (like rape and child abuse). PLEASE COMMENT :) None of the pictures used in this book are mine.

BEING ANITA by onepeacentury

'I love you,' Asher told me while the police man handcuffed him. The night glimmered in his green eyes. His dark hair was tousled, strands like conductors of the energy in his chest. "I fucking love you." In other circumstances, a few years ago, I would've easily retorted, but there was a humid substance being loaded in the unfiltered air that wrapped around my throat, and I couldn't speak. If I tried, I'd break into a full fledged scream, and possibly end up handcuffed as well. I took many steps back, retreating from the source of toxicity, suppressing a pseudo feeling of guilt but being grasped by its hands so easily I could simply lunge at my boyfriend and tell him everything would be all right, that he had done the right thing, and that I was so proud of him. But as much as I wished him to, he wasn't a child anymore, and I had ceased to be the girl he idealized. The man pushed Asher's head into the vehicle, and he repeated "I love you" over and over, like a fresh mantra. I didn't doubt his words. But there were just a few things that still made sense to me, and his voice was in the past. A relic that was rooted in a better context. Us. "I could just die with you." ---------♡--------- Starring: Gwen N.F. Asher Price Noah Gallo Scripted: August 2017. Started: September 2022. Finished: November 2022. Word count: 90K-100K.

20 Questions by KCLake6

She had amazing parents, good role models, a normal, happy childhood, and dreams of saving the world...until an ugly twist of fate changed everything. She wasn't meant to lose her best friend to addiction. Holidays with the family were supposed to be magical, not obligatory. Every song, every building, every street had a memory attached to it...memories that weren't supposed to sever her heart. This wasn't the life she envisioned growing up. In desperate need of rest, relaxation and self-discovery, Jenna loaded a plane, destined for Aspen. She was going to salvage the girl she lost along the way. She'd find that fire inside of her that had been extinguished by heartache. Hunter had lived a hard life - abused, neglected, discarded and hardened. There were no bedtime stories growing up with loving parents, no family vacations, nothing to be excited about and nothing to live for. With his revenge-seeking father's upcoming prison release hanging above his head, Hunter knew his days were limited and he had accepted it. He wasn't looking ahead, not for happiness or love anyway. Until he saw her. Fate had brought them together. Passion consumed them. She brought the sass and he brought the danger. He began to see a life with her that he didn't believe he deserved. She found her purpose - heal him, love him, give him the gift of family and unconditional love. They went to Aspen in search of peace and an escape from the hometown heartache...but they found love along the way. 20 Questions is a story of unbreakable love, redemption, and overcoming tragedy. It's about blocking out the corruption in the world so you can see the virtuous. It's a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud tale of how love can keep us together when the world is viciously trying to pull us part. Love wins. It always wins.

Mischief in Starling [Stackson] by x3_mel_x3

Stiles is done. He can't take being in Beacon Hills anymore. At every turn, new chaos awaits. On every street corner he is reminded of all the pain, all the loss he had to go through. He feels guilty whenever he sees the hurt on Scott's face and he knows, he's thinking of Allison. They say none of it was his fault, but Stiles can see the truth in their eyes. They blame him almost as much as he blames himself. It's tearing him apart and every minute longer in that godforsaken town weighs heavier on his heart. Come the next pack meeting and he knows, he is done. Deciding that Jackson had the right idea in going as far away as possible, he packs his things and moves to a cute little apartment in Starling City. It's not a carefree town by any meens, but here, an entirely different group of people is there to protect the town. For once, it's not Stiles' job to save anyone and at last he can breathe again. That is until a mysterious force starts to bubble up inside him and he finds himself confronted with a whole new understanding of himself. One attack on his life later and he finds himself face to face with blue eyes that he never thought he'd see again. Of course he would never admit that even covered by a mask, only the eyes visible, Stiles would know that face anywhere. Hello, pups. This story won't actually have a big bad. It's mostly fluff and relationships. The focus is solely on Stackson and their evolution. Of course there will be some fighting, considering we're following a group of vigilantes. Other than that we mostly have some emotional conflict. I hope you enjoy :) G'night, pups.
