[WATTYS WINNER 2022] What's it like to have everything you ever wanted? To be utterly, ridiculously, completely HAPPY? Pretty worrying, actually.
***
In this Watty Winning (!!) standalone sequel to "All Good Things", we visit Alice, her family and friends at the All Good Things cafe. A lot has changed in 5 years. Her marriage is back on track and steamier than ever... at least when there isn't a kid within earshot. Fortunately, the youngest is in the smelly grip of puberty himself and just wants to be alone. Their daughter, the entrepreneurial prodigy, went off to university only to return disillusioned by life, love and Kierkegaard. Good thing the cafe is still afloat... just about. It's hard to make ends meet when you're trying to change the world, one plant-based latte at a time! Just as things are starting to look a little dire, Alice becomes an unwitting TikTok sensation and kids all over the city start copying her moves. Now, a corporate chain wants a piece of the action and Alice will have to decide whether she can stomach a return to the soul-suck of corporate life in order to keep her dream alive.

But before she could celebrate her little victory against him he pulled her from her wrist and she collided with his hard chest. Snaking an arm around her waist he held her tightly as she struggled in his hold. "Don't play with fire, Ms Lilly Jones or don't complain to me later if you end up getting burned."

She is his peace when he is everything that sets her heart and soul in a hurricane. And just like that, all her plans to have a peaceful college life go down the drain. The moment she looks into his black orbs, she finds herself losing in the hands of a guy her mom strictly forbade her to get involved with ever. Who knew four years of college life would become everything she should have never sought for, but also, something she always wanted to, with all her heart. Jake is stubborn, arrogant, and a lot more mysterious about himself than Amy can handle. He is also passionate, an artist with a paintbrush that can create masterpieces and depressed in ways no one bothers to know, except Amy. Amy is undeniably attracted to him. But Jake harbors enough regrets from the past to never seek the light Amy has to offer. Amy slowly manages to break through the walls of redemption Jake has created around himself. But she can never change the fact that our mistakes run deep than any other feeling. When shadows of past mistakes start drowning Jake into a dark pit of chaos, Amy might be his one chance to seek light, his silver lining, and love that can heal the ugliest of scars. But is he willing to heal? Or is it simply too late for him? Cover by @krisstheticComplete
Nonreciprocal Love (COMPLETED)
*COMPLETED* This is a sequel of the book 'Hired Bride' but can be a stand alone book. I recommend reading the first one, however, to get a better knowledge of their family structure and background. Reminder that reading this book will spoil 'Hired Bride' so if you intend to read the first book, read it prior to this. ~ * ~ * ~ Chloe Montenegro has been struggling in school ever since she was a child. She isn't the brightest in her class and she suffers a lot especially when it comes to Math. She is just a plain, average student who strives to pass her classes and graduate high school. Ace Parker is well-known around the school with the reputation of a genius. He has what is called "eidetic imagery" also referred to as photographic memory. He has an IQ that ranges from 180-200. He doesn't need to try nor study for any exams but still get higher marks than any of his classmates. Girls fan and chase after him, although he couldn't care less. Chloe and Ace were inseparable ever since they were kids. Wherever one was, there was the other. And Chloe doesn't quite remember when that sibling love she felt for him had turned into a love that was sinful and forbidden to the eyes of many. As they were growing up, the two had started growing apart especially after Ace had read an entry on her diary about her feelings for him. But as life gets tougher and as they get older and start understanding and learning more of the world, will they be able to find the right type of love? Will they ever go back to how they were before or will they become more apart?

Someone I used to Know
"Belle. I'm so sorry...," He said with sympathy. "Sure. Whatever," I managed before bursting into tears. He tried to hold me, to comfort me. I pulled away in disgust. "Leave me alone!," I shouted, "just leave me alone..." I would never forget this moment. How sad he looked, how mad I was. I had just made the biggest mistake, and there was no going back. Belle had a perfect life. The perfect boyfriend (Ben), the perfect friends (Libby), the perfect grades. She was a model, and everyone seemed to adore her. And then her boyfriend was no longer her boyfriend. Her friends no longer her friends, her grades falling apart. Belle must now put her life back together, but she can't find out where to start. Worst of all she finds out she isn't the "main character" anymore... she's a background setting stage for drama character. But if she isn't then who is going to take center stage of a world that seems like is coming close to it's end... (And yes the ending of the book is just random, because you never know when life will just end)... *_*_*_*_*_*I hope all of you enjoy my book! Stay with me, its a long ride. -2dayiFeelLikeWritingComplete

Driven to Distraction
Alex Thompson was due to marry her high school sweet heart Eric Ramirez. Period. That's it. It's about as exciting as her life ever got really. She had a job, a good job but an unconscious reality was that she was bored. She had her back blown out once every three months, if that, and an overbearing mother who made her life hell. *enter Mitch* Eve 'Mitch' Mitchell. An outgoing, strong minded, independent, raging homosexual, lover to all, charming British soul. They meet by accident after a tough day at the office for Alex. A mistaken identity was all it took for a tiny little kiss. A moment blown all out of proportion for the Christian-bred Miss Thompson and her life turns more miserable than she anticipated for every time she turned around...Mitch was there behind her. Something about Mitch was new and fresh and her soul was just what Alex needed (little did she know). Secrets from the past are brought to the surface. A sad ending to a young lady's life. A realisation that family isn't always blood related. Alcohol isn't a medicine. Violence isn't a key. Hearts were never meant to be broken. Two things to take away: you never know what is going on in someone's head and the most important thing...you never know what happens behind closed doors. A/N just a random story about two people who meet accidentally. Plays with gender norms and very inclusive of LGBTQ (being a member myself). Could be triggering I'm not sure as some identity questions are thrown around. It does include smoking, drinking, some homophobia, profanities, violence and smut. Also anything in brackets with A/N means authors note and that's just me leaving a little comment. Enjoy...Complete
