She was never scared of heights. 

Avery Woodsen has spent years clawing her way up the political ladder. She's fought and sacrificed to get where she is; she's more than ready to see the fruits of her labor. Finally, it's her chance to get one step closer to her dream - one step closer to D.C., a shiny city just waiting for her. Her time at the California Attorney General's office has come to an end. 

She's sacrificed everything for this. She would sacrifice anything to keep it. 

But when the attorney general seems to be targeted by a gun-wielding coward, Avery finds herself in the crosshairs. There's no manifesto to give her answers, and no suspect to question. Her ladder has collapsed. Will the security team sent from Greystone Security be enough to keep her safe? Will the trained, handsome man forced to be her protective shadow be able to keep her away from danger? Or will her desire to move up in her career have too strong of a pull? 

Or is what's tugging her not her career at all, but Reed Sterling himself? 

Trust no one. Except him.

☆ FEATURED in Wattpad's official New Adult account under 'There's Only One Bed | Romance' *** Vivian Rose Stone. HAC's best junior agent. She is given one assignment that will change her life forever. Guns? She can deal with. Trained killers? She can destroy. But when Aiden Matthew Reece enters her life as her next assignment, she is definitely not ready for that. She's his bodyguard and there's only one problem - protecting him has never been so difficult. Not with his constant flirting and several ex-military men chasing after them, out for their blood. And definitely not with the repeated life and death situations they are put in. With a lot of guns, training, arguments, and running for their lives, Vivian finds herself slowly but surely letting her guard down. In Aiden's presence, Vivian realises she is no longer bulletproof. *** "I'm never going to fall for you, Aiden." "Really?

"You work this case like you work any other" I tell him as I look up at his tall frame from my sitting position at my work desk. I look back down and start to read the files of the new case. His hands forcefully land on the corners of my desk, but my eyes never falter from the witness reports. His large hand connects to the bottom of my chin, his thumb gripping the top of it, strong enough to separate my lips slightly. "You don't need to explain how to do my job to me Isla." He whispers as he stares straight into my eyes. I slyly smirk and lean closer to his lips stopping centimeters from them. "Well someone has to Mo-" I start to say before his lips forcefully enfold mine shutting me up. ★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★ Isla Del la Cruz worked hard to get to her new position at the BAU. Through a rough childhood, discrimination, police department, and now federal agent. She wont let anyone get in her way of being successful until she meets the notorious Derek Morgan. Derek Morgan is almost indescribable. Tall, flirty, loyal, mysterious, and hard working. He has a past no one knows about and works his hardest at his job. When the new asset joins the team he isn't able to control his flirtatious nature, but it goes far beyond his playful banter with Garcia. They must learn how to work as a team, to later friends, and to maybe something more... ★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★ This is a strangers to lovers fanfic! #1 jasongideon - July 21 2021 #1 spencerreid - July 20 2021 #1 fbi agent -June 28 2021 #2 bau - June 25 2021 #6 derek morgan - September 7 2021 #1 crime- August 2 2021 #8 aaron hotchner- October 3 2021

Book #2 (Tainted Scars Series) "Where am I? Who the hell are you?" He stared at me from across the room, "knowing my name is useless and dangerous." I clutched the blanket closer to my naked body as he stood up slowly. "What do you want?" "It's simple... I'm going to fuck you. Trust me, you'll love it so much...you'll be screaming my name when he is inside you." Athena wakes up to find a familiar sexy man staring at her from across an unfamiliar bedroom. The last thing she remembers is walking home after having dinner with Kitten for her birthday. Everything is a blur after that. After questioning the mystery man, she quickly learns he is Satoni Romano. She also learns that she is far away from home. She is no longer in New York, she's in California. Satoni is the biggest mafia leader in the country and he is feared by all. He promises her brother that he will not harm Athena in any way. He doesn't want a problem with the Vintalli family because his problem is with Vain. He tells her that she will spend 6 months with him. When that six months is over, he will set her free...well after he fucks her. Satoni is far from gentle and he won't deal with Athena's temper. She goes against him just to piss him off and it works every time. Athena's 180-day count down begins.
