Meet Zoe - at least, that's what she goes by currently - an introverted computer whiz. She has maybe three friends, one of which is a pretty sexy neighbour. Not that she thinks of him that way.
Give her a laptop and she can do anything, the only problem? She'll do anything. And that can lead to trouble. Or being elbow deep in a shitstorm of bullets by unknown parties that want her dead.
But you know what they say, it's best to be calm in a shitstorm. There will be plenty of time to freak out afterwards.

Living the Life of Zoë
Zoë Block is your average eighteen year old girl. But she's a bit different...She's not the type to go screaming to the mall on seeing a flashy discount, or the kind to paint her nails a colour to match her outfit. Nope, she's the kind that would get her knees scraped and still not utter a word (maybe a swear one), the kind who would jam on her guitar for hours at end just to avoid homework and the kind who would love a biiig tuna-fish sub, with mustard, double cheese and a whole lot of mint mayo... BUT, what will she do when she finds herself falling in love with her cousin? (well, he's adopted, so he doesn't count as a cousin, right?) Will she turn into the typical girly-girl who pines over boys? Or will she remain true to her badass profile? To find out..."Welcome to the life of Zoë Block." :) Author's Note: My username was changed from 'JackHarriesIsMine' to 'diagonAlley' due to certain reasons. Please bear with me.

Hidden Ties
All I wanted was one last laugh. One final prank before my best mate moved out. Instead? I broke into the wrong flat and met her-Blair Moore. Blonde, brainy, and armed with enough sarcasm to make me rethink every decision I've ever made. She's awkward, intense, and runs her own cybersecurity company-because of course she does. I was supposed to scare a mate, not fall for a hacker who moonlights as a digital vigilante. So what do I do? Help her land a job that ends with us getting chased by a bloody tech giant. Naturally. And just when I think we've survived the madness, I find out her father killed my dad. Brilliant, right? Except nothing is what it seems-and the truth might just break me before it saves us. AUTHORS NOTE: I know it needs editing and I'm trying my best here. Also, most of my stories are fast paced and this is included.Complete
It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape. "You drive me fucking crazy, Aria." ---------------------------- Aria Bailey finds it hard to fit in. Her parents are always busy and never have time for her.

The Deadline | 18+ Version | English | Side Project
One office. Tree Days to get the job done. And to make it even worse - I have to work with my biggest enemy. Mia is a team lead at a software development startup. She doesn't just love her job - she also adores all of her coworkers. And even more importantly, everyone loves her back. Everyone except Noah. He's another team lead at the company, and he seems completely immune to her friendliness. Mia has no idea why, but no matter how hard she tries, befriending him has been utterly impossible. Normally, that's not much of an issue. They only cross paths occasionally. And when they do, it's as if they've made an unspoken agreement: keep as much distance as humanly possible. But then a mistake forces them to spend the next 72 hours working together. In the same office. A nightmare for both of them ... or maybe something else?

BROKEN COURAGE (Lucas & Emilia Book 3)
While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story. For the full journey, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete
