When Mandy is swept off her feet, she begins to think twice about the choices she has made that brought her face-to-face with Carter Osteen. Charming, wealthy, and respectful, he is exactly the distraction Mandy doesn't need.
With Carter stopping at nothing to get her attention, Many doesn't know if she can handle the undeniable spark between them. But Mandy is going to find out there's more to Carter than what his money can buy. That the perfect exterior is only the cover of who he truly is... and how he truly makes her feel.

Darcy Freaking Grayson

Or that he moves back to the UK. Anything, really, as long as he stays away from me. Why, you may ask? Is he... Grumpy? Yep. Cold? Yep. Try-hard tortured? Yep. Hiding a seriously messed-up past? Yep. Haunted by daddy-issues? A whole freaking truck-load of them. He's basically a walking, talking lump of miserable coal whom I extremely dislike being around. ...Then why can't I stop kissing him?Complete
Beyond the Mistake
What the hell just happened? Whispers flood the university halls. Eyes follow her everywhere. Mandy-the girl with quiet confidence, quick wit, and a natural charm that makes people notice her without effort. She may come from privilege, but she's never arrogant. She is part of the Black Panther, the campus band everyone knows, Mandy is admired for being real and grounded. She's not the type to chase campus princes or dream about fairytales. For her, love has always meant something different. Then there's Dreid. The untouchable alpha-rich, magnetic, a natural on the court and the kind of man everyone else envies.

At the annual festival, Dreid drowns his heartbreak-eight bottles deep after losing the only girl he thought he'd ever love. Across campus, Mandy is fighting demons of her own, drinking far more than she can handle. Two broken souls. One reckless night. When dawn breaks, they wake in the same bed-memories blurred, questions unanswered, panic sharp in the silence between them. What happened? How did they end up here? They make a pact: no strings, no expectations, just forget and move on. But fate refuses to let them. Pulled together by chance, circumstance, and something neither wants to name, Mandy begins to see the man beneath Dreid's golden-boy image. And Dreid, against all odds, starts to feel again-something real, something impossible to ignore. Because sometimes, the nights you can't remember... become the love stories you'll never forget.![Hopelessly Falling [book 2]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/217874760-256-k348673.jpg)
Hopelessly Falling [book 2]
"Do you ever get scared of being happy?" He asked softly, also pretty tired. I kept my eyes closed as I answered, my fingers softly drawing circles on his chest. "All the time. I used to a lot more, but, the downfalls seem a lot less daunting now that I have someone to free-fall with," I replied, and I looked up to see him smile a little at that, "We're just dancing in the rain these days.. there's no need to be afraid of the inevitable clouds that are gonna pop up." • • • College.

Worse for Love- Book #3 in the WF Series
Love. A word that never made sense to Ivy Blanchard. Yes, she helps all of her friends with every relationship because she wants to see them happy, but she never really believed in the exaggerated picture of what "love" is. Trusting someone completely by opening up to them has never really amused her, and maybe that's because of what she went through as a little girl. When one day, she gets drunk and calls Kai Hale; one of her cousin's friends, to come and get her, it escalates into a fake relationship that neither of them expected. To convince her friend that she doesn't need help finding love, she decides to create a fake relationship with Kai. Although, the lie only begins to lead into other things that neither one of them realized or were prepared for. Kai is the exact opposite of Ivy. Smiling is second nature to him, and love is definitely something he's always believed in, he just doesn't have enough time for it with his complicated schedule. When Ivy and him begin getting close though, he realizes there definitely is something happening, but convincing Ivy that it's okay to let someone in is harder than he thought it would be. Will he actually get over the wall she's built since she could remember?Complete
Are you mine?
We've all heard about 'the main character'. The type of person who lives through the most dramatic and improbable situations, and finds the kind of epic romance you only see in works of fiction. Which makes you think about how unrealistic love like that is. I used to think the same thing until I met him. Until I met 'the bad boy' that, as it turns out, wasn't that bad at all, just simply...a boy. A boy with an easy smile, a charming personality and looks so enticing that I couldn't keep my eyes off of him if I tried. A boy whose shoulders were starting to slump with the weight of his past and his family. A boy who believed that the only way to survive was by putting a lock on his heart and chaining it down to a place so deep inside of him that no one could ever reach it again. A boy who, for reasons I'll never comprehend, placed the key inside my palm and didn't shy away when I tried to free his hidden heart from its restraints. A boy who made me the main character of my own story. A story I never want to forget, and which begged to be put on paper. This is that story. ~~~ #1 love triangle 8/26/2019 #1 teen romance 11/4/2019 #1 mystory 7/27/2020 #1 teen drama 9/9/2020 #1 goodgirl 9/12/2020 Cover by @alexandramar1e Contains swearing and mature language.Complete
