Alessandra Maia Carswell is the newest competitor for the selection. Having been raised an only child by her father, Alessandra had a tough time growing up. She's a strong willed girl with a beautiful heart but will her pretty face be able to win her a crown? The truth is Alessandra does not want love,but when the opportunity came she could not turn down the chance of a lifetime. Especially when she had the chance to put her old crush on the Prince to rest.
Alessandra told herself she wouldn't be there long. Just long enough for her father to earn enough money to pay off the loan he had on their house.
But how long is long enough?
As time passes Alessandra realizes that maybe, just maybe, she could be the next Queen of Illea. The Prince has an aching love for her, deep within his heart but is 'true' love enough for Alessandra to leave her life behind and take on the responsibilities of a job she truly doesn't want? Is it worth risking her already fragile heart? Or will she realize that with this new found power she can finally make the changes in her country she's always dreamed of?
Alessandra was taught her whole life to think with her head but maybe its time to start letting her heart make the decisions.
In this breathtakingly romantic fanfiction we'll learn that the heart is a living thing with an agenda of its own and people can be just as extraordinary as they dream.

Truly Selected (Book One of The Next Selection Series)
~ 'Matthew slid closer to me so our bodies were pressed up against each other in a not to intimate way. "I hope I cross your mind every once in a while," Matthew said in an almost whisper. "Just so I don't feel so pathetic for thinking of you all the time." I felt my heart beat at a rapid pace as he said those words to me. Nothing like that had ever been said to me before, and that was all it took for me to reach up to Matthew and connect my lips with his.' ~ Twenty-one years ago, America Singer entered the Selection with no intention of claiming Prince Maxon's heart for herself Now, another Selection is about to surface, and Illéa is more excited than ever. Not only did Maxon and America provide an heir, but twin sons. Sol Soble, a Four from Kent, wanted nothing to do with the Selection. Her life was no fantasy with magic sugar castles and money growing on trees, but she loved Kent and certain things in it; and for that, the Selection wasn't in her best interest. But after a sudden tragedy, Sol's world is rocked to its core and she is doing things she never thought she would do; entering the Selection, going to the Palace, and maybe, even starting to fall in love. It's only common knowledge that when people don't learn from history, it's often doomed to repeat itself. --------------------- DISCLAIMER: All rights go to Kiera CassComplete

Their Treasure
Alessandra had always been in the dark about her family. Her mother made sure of it. She never told her anything about her father, her mysterious job, or the fact that she had six brothers. Six mysterious, wealthy, and dangerous brothers. One day, they came to her life, trying to take her home. But an unforeseen tragedy happened, causing her to be far from their reach. She was left with a man who claimed to be her uncle that wanted to take her in. But unfortunately, he is not a 'family' he claimed himself to be. So, she has to survive. Until fate brought her to meet them again. **The following story contains things which some readers may find distressing. Such as curse words, as well as violence / abuse and suicide (I'd put TW for this one) in future chapters Start: July 12, 2020Complete
The Silent Sister
Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.

One night when her mother goes missing, Giulia's whole life changes... again.

Healing isn't easy and trust doesn't come free. ☆ ☆ ☆ As I lied there in the hospital bed with a pounding headache, practically suffocating me while barely conscious, I heard that familiar, raspy, deep, sleep deprived voice that I've recently come to find comfort in. "Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered. (No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.) I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness. The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in. "Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep. (Rest now, you're safe, baby). ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.
