Seeking Perfection
Heather lives her life with one purpose: to make her father proud. She's a straight-A student, obedient, respectful, and determined never to disappoint him. Her father has only one rule: no dating in school. But everything changes when she falls in love and gets caught. Her father's reaction is swift and brutal. The man she once admired becomes unrecognizable-controlling, angry, and even physically abusive. Confused and devastated, she can't understand why he treats her so cruelly, especially when her older sister, now in college, never saw this side of him. When her father announces he's marrying a lawyer from his firm, she hopes for change. Instead, things only spiral further. The abuse intensifies, and the emotional wounds deepen as he begins to blame her for her mother's death. In a desperate search for love, truth, and freedom, she uncovers painful secrets buried within her family-realizing her entire life has been built on lies. By the time she pieces everything together, it's too late. What she wanted was simple: happiness, love, and her father's acceptance. What she gets is betrayal, loss, and a shattering truth that will haunt her forever until the day she dies.Complete

She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.

Worth The Wait
|COMPLETED| *Under Construction⚠️⚠️* Hi if you originally read WTW a few years ago then you should know why I'm fully rewriting this story. Let's be honest it was poorly written and all over the place. It's about 4 years later and I decided to give the book a makeover and no longer make it a fanfic. So I hope you enjoy this revamped version of WTW. I'm working really hard on it. Warning: this story does contain substance abuse, rape, and abusive relationships Completed August 4 2017Complete
Dynamite Touch (18+) Book 1
"I know what you're doing," I said, pointing my spoon at him and he cocked a curious eyebrow, "Is that so?" I nodded as I spooned more pudding into my mouth and straightened my back, "You're trying to intimidate me, make me spill my secrets. I have none so your psychology-ridden methods won't work on me." "I don't buy it," he grinned mischievously and I shrugged, "There's not a price." He walked towards me and placed his hands on either side of me on the counter, leaning in so almost our noses were touching. I cleared my throat and shook my head, "Elliott, you have to stop." A smile graced his plump lips as humor danced in his eyes, "And why's that?" I wriggled out of his stance and hopped off of the counter, eating another spoonful of the delicious goodness, "I want to see where things go with Dean. He's your brother so why are you doing this?" "Doing what?" He asked, knowingly. He asks so many questions. "That thing you do. That smile. Your touches. The way you look at me, Elliott, please." --------------- Cameron Moore, a troubled girl from a small town in England, flees her dark past and wounds up living in her sister's house in America to attend university.

Hormones
Disrespectful teens go through the highs and lows of life and difficulties teens in modern day society go through. Quick updates💜💜 And so you know this book isn't mainly about Y/N. Y/n isn't the only main character. This book shows problems in all of their lives so if you want a book where it's only about y/n's life then this book isn't for you. Also this book is based in a city similar to Chicago. Some of the kids live in the suburban part and some in the city part of Chicago. It actually doesn't get too good until around chapter 6. Warning: drugs, sex, cursing, death, ODing, depression, SH, sexuality, ect. will be mentioned in this ff. If u no like, you no read.😌 I literally cried writing some of these chapters. I will edit the chapters (like spelling airs) when the book is finished. Sometimes I have acrylics so it's hard to type. If you ever notice it says gurl instead of girl just know it wasn't intentional.🥲Complete
