Book 1 of 5.

I was that girl - Scarlett Wozniacki - the one from a broken home who lived on a rundown street. The one with three half siblings, all from different fathers. The one  whose older brother was in and out of jail; and two younger sisters - one who rarely spoke, the other who was bipolar. I was the one with panic attacks, but somehow excelled in school. I was the one that tried to hold it together.

He was that guy - Dominic Thronsdon - golden and popular. The youngest of three brothers and lived on the richest street in town. When he was everything I never thought I needed, but everything I craved. He was the one who noticed. The one who paid attention. The one girls went crazy over and guys wanted to be. Once his mom died, his father went to great lengths to keep his son in check. 

We both had secrets.

We were a cataclysmic pending storm.

I'm a little unsteady ( Evansson ) by afankindofthing

Falling for your best friend is never easy, especially when said friend is also your married best friend. 2am on a Monday morning, that's when his life changed. That's when he realized that maybe some things or some people aren't so out of our reach as he thought. She was that type of girl, the one that would often make mad, the one that had the power to change his day just by looking at him in a certain way. The one that was complicated, complex, stubborn, who had little to no patience at all and who often got him in trouble. But also the one he couldn't live without. "That's the way God made her. Sunshine mixed with. A little hurricane." Disclaimer: I mean no offense to Scarlett, or her family. This story is for entertainment purposes only. Also not the best writer, in fact this is my first fanfic. So, I hope you enjoy it.

In love with a Hitman (Hitman Series Pt. 2) by Regnado

This is the second book in the Hitman series, it can be read as a standalone but you'll understand characters a bit better if you read 'Falling for a Hitman' first. Get hooked on the fast paced, heart racing action, and fall for the romance. The second I heard her say my name I knew I was in too deep. I knew I'd do everything in my power to protect her. When her ex came to town I made sure to do just that. When she finished her shower that first night in my home, I fell for her. Never in a million years did I think love at first sight existed but dammit was I wrong. I have nightmares, I ran far to get away from my ex. I never thought he would find me after I changed my name and moved 1500 miles away from my hometown. When he whispered in my ear I thought I was going to die right there in the middle of the dance floor. Luckily I had big strong tattooed arms to fall into, and I never wanted to leave that embrace. We knew nothing about the other. The deceit, the lies we've told, the demons we have both left behind. Not to mention the doubt and everything that could ruin whatever future we could possibly have. She's worth it. He's worth it.

His Favorite Scar by CrystalWings-

Nobody knew his last name, but they knew his name and also that he was the right hand of the most feared and powerful Mafia, not just in Russia, but in the entire world, and that was enough. With a Greek God like body, he had women throwing themselves at him and he made sure to enjoy every bit of the attention that he got, for he was no saint, he was a player! Apart from being the protagonist of every woman's wet dreams, he was also everything that a Mafia's right hand should have been. He was ruthless. He was cruel. He was a fucking killing machine! Everybody feared him and the only thing that he feared was...falling for his best friend's little sister. Scarlett Knight... She was your typical rich, spoiled brat. Growing up in a Mafia family, with an overprotective father and an equally overprotective brother, wasn't easy, but she learnt to live with it. With an innocent face and drop dead gorgeous figure, she knew, she turned heads wherever she went. Having seen enough bloodshed and violence all her life, her heart has turned cold, but the only time her heart warms up is...whenever she sees him. Her childhood crush. David... But too bad, he sees her only as his best friend's baby sister...or so she thought. Little did she know that...she was His Favorite Scar...imprinted, not just on his heart, but on his soul as well. A love story awaiting to bloom...a secret awaiting to destroy it. ••• Spin-off to "Loving The Russian Mafia" & "Scars On Her Soul" Can be read as a stand alone book, but I would suggest reading the above mentioned books first, to understand this one better.

Book one is called "Out of Left Field" which is about the parents of the characters in this story. It is currently on the Chapters app, but I will be slowly transferring it over to Wattpad.

Scarlett by iama_writer

I noticed someone walk towards me. I stopped to gaze at the person. He was tall and well built. His ripped chest was visible under his plain white t-shirt. His track pants hung loose, a little below his waist. His facial features appeared familiar. He fiddled with his phone when he walked and did not look anywhere else until he reached the door right across the hall. He entered the apartment but paused before he could shut the door. His eyes met mine and I suddenly felt nervous. He raised an eyebrow at me and I looked away uncomfortably. A smile played at the corner of his lips as he shut the door.
