cover by @JaelynnMoore 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥 It's so much easier to spread lies about people than it is to spread the truth. That's what Gabriel knows to be true, at least. According to everyone in his town, he's a monster. He doesn't deserve to be walking among the rest of them. That's far from the truth, though. He was never good at being alone, but it became something he was used to. After everything he'd gone through, he craved solitude. Until she showed up. She wiggled her way right into his heart and now all he craved was her. 𝐀𝐥𝐲𝐧𝐚 Moving to a small lakeside town in Washington was not where Alyna saw her life taking her. She also didn't expect that she'd fall so hard for the brooding mechanic who lived there. Everyone tells her that she should stay away from him. All of the rumors say that he's dangerous, but all she ever feels with him is safe. With obstacles at every turn, will their love be enough to endure even the worst challenge they'll face? Or will they fall apart under the weight? started: 12/15/2023 published: 05/18/2024 completed: highest rankings: #2 bwwm #4 ongoing
Fallin' For My Bodyguard
✨ She built a brand. He built a wall. Now they're both learning how to love past the pain. ✨ Allure King is more than a face-she's a force. A world-renowned model and influencer with a multi-million dollar empire built on beauty, resilience, and control. But behind the flawless photos and fierce reputation lies a woman quietly unraveling. After years of loyalty, love, and sacrifice, she finds herself publicly betrayed by the man she gave everything to-NBA star Malik James. Enter Romelo Creed. Fresh out of prison and trying to outrun the shadows of his past, Romelo takes a job protecting Allure... only to find himself drawn to the fire in her spirit, and the sadness in her silence. He's rough around the edges, deadly when necessary, but soft when it matters most. As her bodyguard, he was supposed to protect her from the world. He never expected she'd be the one to save him. What starts as tension turns into trust. What feels like lust begins to blur into something deeper. But Malik isn't finished-his stunts grow bolder, and the past refuses to stay buried. As the media stirs the drama and secrets begin to surface, Allure and Romelo are forced to confront the one thing they've both been avoiding: How do you protect a heart that's never felt safe? Love was never in the plan. But fate doesn't care about plans.Complete

Next Girl | 🥇 2023 Amby Winner
On steamy, hot summer days, the parched soil cracks like ice into jagged lines resembling lightning blowing up the midnight sky. Summer craves to be quenched and begs to feel the invigorating shower that only rain can douse. It takes what it can get from rain without considering the possibility of destruction. Rain is a necessary evil. It's prayed for yet cursed and hated. It brings forth destruction and life simultaneously. Rain is a refreshing sprinkle and an overwhelming flood. It's elusive, and it alone decides when and where to release its precipitation with no regard to the impact of its power. *** Summer breezed into McGrath's Pub like a breath of fresh air. Despite her miserable day and the tepid rain dampening the streets of Harrisburg, she lit up the bar with her bright smile the moment she entered. Rain is looking for a warm body to take to his bed. He spots Summer and immediately approaches her. She has no clue about his plans for her, and he's determined to bring those plans to fruition. Summer's heart and soul were destroyed by the torrential storm that is Rain Grant. Summer is determined not to let what happened to her happen to the "Next Girl." *** "Next Girl" I bet you probably met him at a bar Let him walk you to your car I bet he said he never fell this hard Yeah, I remember that part He knows how to say all the right things Knows how to get you outta that dress Knows how to make you think you're thе best thing But I know what happens next, girl Co-written and performed by Carly Pearce *** Cover by: @zmswift 1st Place 🥇 The Carnival Awards 2021 Chick-Lit Featured in WattpadShortStory's Realistic Fiction Reading List Qualified for Round 3 of the 2023 Amby AwardsComplete
