It's 1940, during the twilight of America's Great Depression era. John, a teenage hobo, after spending some months in Wisconsin without any signs of success getting a profitable job, decides to train hop on a freight train heading from Wisconsin to Iowa.
Aside from not finding a job being the reason for John's departure from Wisconsin, he is also on a wanted poster as a suspected rapist for a recent rape case there. John is not just running away from Wisconsin because of his prolonged lack of job, this time, he is on the run because no one will believe that a tramp is innocent of a rape case.
Mary runs away from home in Wisconsin after her parents made it clear that she will be moving to the monastery on the eve of her 18th birthday, which conflicts with her dreams of being a teenage-star actress in Hollywood. Coincidentally, she chooses to train hop on the same freight train John is hiding in.
It's a long journey from Wisconsin to Iowa and that of multiple shortstops in different towns. Despite these two's tumultuous first encounter while aboard the train; John's misconstrued past in Wisconsin, and Mary's perceived arrogance and innocence; they will have all the time in the world to realize that they have more in common than the differences they rest of the world judges them for. Also, if they are to survive the hazards of being a hobo, they will have to unite than divide.
What started as a journey of two people running away from their scary pasts will metamorphose into one of America's greatest love stories, just before the start of World War II.

Bad Influence
SYNOPSIS: The difference between Derek and I is like trying to count a tall building with over a hundred floors. While he's the type that gets tattoos, parties, sleeps around and smokes chunks with his friends, I'm the kind of girl that secure good grades at school just to make mummy proud. I'm not his type, he calls me a minor and ruffles my hair like a kid but I don't want to be that to him. I want to be everything he wants me to be, I want to be everything he likes in a woman even if it means skipping classes, partying and making mummy sad. I knew coming back to Austin TX after four years and getting to see those magnetic gray orbs that kept pulling me closer, those devilish lips, the smirk that whispers; 'Do what would make your mom disappointed' would be a bad idea. I shouldn't do this, I shouldn't look up to Derek. He's a bad influence, I know but I can't help it. ^^^^ Guys, welcome to my first ever Wattpad novel.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 NewaduLengkap

Heart breaks. Is what to expect from our story, WHEN REALITY HITS PERFECT. Trust me guys the story is more fun than how it's been put cause I'm not really good at writing these things. ************ "What's wrong?" He asked and I pointed straight ahead where light was pouring in. He still looked at me confused, not getting what I was saying. I sighed before opening my mouth "Run" and as soon as I said that the door was kicked open and we could hear them shouting. "Where are those little trouble makers?" they asked her but she shook her head telling them she had no idea where we were. One growled madly like an angry lion and yelled "You can run away little kiddies but you can't hide forever" and with that we heard gun shots and curses but little did they know, we were already out the door..... This story has a touch of violence and abusive words. Hope you love it. Every character and event happening is just my imaginationse, no copying my storyLengkap

Madison hides her true feelings deep down inside of her. One night is all it takes for Mason to take Madison's virginity and create a wild, toxic, and addicting romance between the two of them. What brought her to him? Is it because Mason is broken, and Madison believes she has to fix everyone? Is it because not only did he take her virginity, but he made her feel what a true kiss feels like? Or is it because she's become addicted to the arousing feelings and pleasure he can give her? These two are no good for each other but can't stay away. They are magnets in this universe, attracted from thousands of miles away no matter what happens.

Trying Not To Love (COMPLETED)
I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger. He sat on the bed, criss crossed and pulled me to him. ♡♡♡♡♡ Cassandra didn't come to Brinkley mansion to belong. She came to survive the year and leave. Then there's Easton Brinkley. Arrogant.

Those who look into Grayson's eyes only see pure fury and hatred. They all think he's beyond redemption, even Grayson himself. But not River.

From the first time their eyes connect, both Grayson and River feel the intense, undeniable attraction between them...but neither of them understand what's pulling them together so fiercely. The closer they get and the more vulnerable they become, River has to wonder: is she saving Grayson from his darkness? Or is she just pulling him further into hers? *** He tips my head toward his with his index finger, keeping my eyes trained on him and driving me crazy with the primal look on his face. His grey eyes look heavy, filled with dark desire, and a shock runs up through my core. Everything around us disappears and all I can sense is him and the hardness pressing between my legs. "What are you doing to me, River?" he whispers, his voice raspy and utterly captivated. His face is lowering and I'm closing my eyes, waiting for soft lips to press against mine. My whole body is on fire as I hold my breath for his touch. *** Cover by @strayin
