June Belle
         I have dreamt of becoming a famous singer-songwriter since I was a little girl. Every night after my Mom tucked me into bed, I would have dreams of singing my heart out on a stage in front of millions of people. Even after my Mom passed away, I still wanted to do it, matter of fact, I wanted to do it even more since it was also a dream of hers that she never got the chance to pursue.
         Now, after graduating from a four year college, while also working a part-time job at my local bookstore, I can finally focus on pursuing my music.
         I just need a producer... 
Hayden Grey
         I knew from a very young age that I wanted to make music, but I couldn't sing for shit, so my dream career slowly started to fade away from me. But then I realized that there was a way to make music and still get credit for it, producing. 
         I could help produce someone else's music, still get the credit, still get the chance to perform on stage, and maybe one day I'll even win a grammy, or two, for producer of the year.
         I just need a singer... 

         June and Hayden are so close to accomplishing their dream careers, they just need one more thing; each other. So, after a literal run in and finding out that they're exactly what each other are looking for, they immediately start working together. But the more they work together, the more feelings are developed.
         Should June and Hayden throw caution to the wind and start something new between them that could only just be lust?
         Or should they ignore their feelings to protect their careers and risk losing something that could be love?

They both have the same two mutual friends. Avery and Xander. That and the fact that their families are really close. Like really close.

Which one will be able to get Avery or Xander to confess first wins. But what they don't realise is that they are actually setting themselves up. *perfect for "better than the movies" lovers! *
🥊 Hate or Fate 💕 {Enemies to Lovers} by WhiskeySeattle

One day you're happy, and the next, a freak accident exposes your boyfriend's dirty little secrets in the worst possible way. I lost the man I loved, my trust in people, and my home in less than one afternoon. At least I know that I've pushed past unimaginable pain before, and I can do it again. Elijah didn't break me, just my heart. 💔🔨 So, the LAST thing I needed was to run into my ex's best friend, Gray on the street. Who cares if he's hotter than lava? Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel. It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart. I thought Gray hated me, but I was wrong...There is something much, much stronger that binds our fate. 🥊💕 This book contains adult themes (aka sexy stuff and trigger content) as well as Oxford commas and the occasional grammatical error. 🥊💕 **This is a complete story that I am currently in the process of editing, so feedback, notes, and helpful comments are always welcome.

Complicated by unflitered1

"Hi, I'm Annabelle Percy. If there's one thing you should know about me, its that I'm not a people person. That sounds cliché and common amongst most books, but I can't shake the fact of how miserable this existence is. It's completely and utterly useless in my eyes. You may be thinking, why do you keep living if you hate it so much? Truthfully, I've tried to leave many times, but no one knows that. Not even my best friend, Nancy Jones. Nancy has been there for me for as long as I can remember. She's my favourite person. She even got me and her brother Kane together; Kane is sweet but only does the bare minimum. As much as I hate my existence, I can't help but want more out of life. I want adventure and passion, not the same thing different day, like how it is now. This will probably sound cringey, as literally every 18 year old girl finds their self in this state of mind, but there's this guy, an A list celebrity, and the lead singer of a band called Sketch. Deep down, I feel like he and I are soulmates. Perhaps so in a parallel universe, even though he has no idea of my existence, I know theres something between us. I just know it. I will never expect someone to love me, I learnt that the hard way with Cheryl, my mother. She's abusive, mentally and physically, she's a drunk and a user. She made me feel worthless since the second I knew how to talk. All I want out of this life is to make myself known, i wish to walk for Victoria's Secret one day. Though I know that would be tough considering its such a criticising industry. I know I'm pretty, and I'm 5'8 so in heels I'll be the perfect height. I just don't know where to start, and I'm too insecure to even try out, of nerves of being rejected. Life's...Complicated." • • 1° spot for #GraphicViolence ! - 12.5.2023

Disclaimer: This is my first time writing something if you don't like it please leave respectfully. You do not have to read it if you don't like this pace. As I described above, it is important for the characters to develop with each chapter. Another important thing, English is not my first language but I have tried my best. If you see some grammar mistakes I'm sorry in advance. Lastly, thank you so much for giving this book a chance. Please vote and write something good that will make my day!
