So what if we've had to pick up a few extras on the way" Ri shrugged. "Exactly Ri, we wanted an adventure, not for two guys following us where ever we went!" I sighed. "I guess it's just overwhelming that's all. You know, with the whole 'city of love' thing going on and everything that's just happened.

All Emily wants is to find a magical lamp like Aladdin and have a genie grant her three wishes; to be back with her mom in Cedar Heights, for her mom's cancer to disappear and to figure out why her relationship with her boyfriend, Mason, is circling the drain. But as the school year progresses she realizes life tends to have plans of its own-as more and more circumstances throw Ian and Emily together, she comes to realize that maybe, just maybe, it's okay not to have everything figured out and sometimes you need to have the courage to take a leap of faith and try something new-like Ariel did when getting new legs or Cinderella did when standing up to her stepmother and stepsisters. A note from the author: This book deals with mature and sensitive topics like attempted rape, physical, emotional, and sexual abuse and has some mild language.

- An Untold Story PREFACE The story depicts a girl named Jasmine and the tales of her life from the age of 5 to 25. This story gives values about true friendship. It even tells how a girl who is shifted to another town at the age of 10 with her two elder sisters, spending 15 years there without any contact with family. How she is, and how she became a star without any help from anyone. This story is even suspicious in some cases when she is shown in a different age and profession and her storyline always changes in different chapters. Her two elder sisters never had any problem with her and had always supported her in any situation. She had a best friend who was like a sister to her. They had always been together, even in a different city. She is the true personality of determination who just left her family for her dreams. But that is not the end! This story not only gives us values but also gives an amazing theory. Jasmine is a dream character of the author who has come in her dreams since last few years. As the story is based on Jasmine, she is someone in real life who has a different name in this world, and of a different age and profession, but the same qualities, blood group and even date of birth as Jasmine. This story shows how Jasmine is connected to most of us, who is an actual person in real life, alive. The purpose of authoring this story is to find the real person whom the author knows but she is not able to recall who Jasmine is from a few years ago. NOTE: The story of Jasmine who is far away from her parents without contact can be different in some cases in chapters. This story is fictional, interesting and can even be enjoyed by children and adults. Let's read this story to know more about Jasmine and her tales, and to find out who she is in real life...

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*

~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!

Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations. While others her age are embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!
