action badass fiction girl romance

Zaiya was never average. Not by a long shot. Raised during wartime, her entire childhood was devoted to becoming a warrior, to fighting the ominous 'Shadow Lord' and protecting her country. At eighteen, she joined the army and left her anxious parents with the promise she'd write. And what are you all waiting to hear about? A boyfriend, perhaps? Nope. She'd had suitors since she was twelve, but she never cared. Learning to fight was all that mattered. So now, at twenty-one, Zai is the best of the bunch, with her eye on a promotion. Shadow Lord's forces are cornered. The war is finally pulling into her favor... But this is war, and nothing is certain. And what will happen if the Shadow Lord himself sets his eye on beautiful, un-touched Zaiya? 

Only time will tell. Oh Zaiya, be careful. Time is running out...

The Bad Girl's a Virgin✓ by spanishlife

Zana Mccarthy is a bad girl with a reputation to scare, but she does a good job of balancing the good, the bad and the ugly in her life. But this all changes when Zana finally goes on a date with her long time crush, Jackson who subsequently leaves her in a middle of a date passed out by the ocean. This precedes a series of outrageous, dangerous, heartbreaking adventures where Zana discovers herself and how far she will go for the people she really loves. Will the bad girl fall slowly into the chaos? Or will she give up the one thing that sets her apart for a chance at real love. He came around to the side of the bed and bent over looking at me in the eye. A smirk formed on his face. As if it was amusing to see me scared out of my mind in Diana's bedroom. "Well," he begins, "It seems you have a nac for getting into trouble." I folded my arms, turned my nose up, and sized him up. "It seems your brother has a nac for being a douchebag," I snap back. He raised his hand up in surrender and back away slightly. He still had an amused look plastered in his face but the smirk was gone. "Fine you win!" I puffed an approval as an answer. He came closer then stared. "Get up. I'm taking you home sugarplum." I tightened the fold of my arms then looked at him with womanly confidence. "First of all, who the fuck gave you a right to give me orders. Second, don't call me sugarplum. . . . . " This is a wild tale, of love, secrets, mystery and murder no one will ever see coming!!

Badboy & The Troublemaker by notyourheer

This was one of the first stories I wrote, read at your own risk :') "Oh don't act so innocent. I know you did this" I snap at him. "Yea so? You got me suspended for a week, so what if your dad's pissed at you?" he says shrugging. "I hope you fucking know that this means war" I say pulling him up by his collar. ●○●○●○ Ash Harper is not your average Malibu barbie, with fake tans and Gucci purses. Or with the pink convertible. She's the badass troublemaker, with a hot motorcycle, sexy leather jacket, a troubled past, and a mysterious aura. Leaving everything she's ever known behind, Ash moves to LA with her Dad, where she meets Austin Aimes, who is a conceited, egotistic asshole, or at least to Ash he is. What happens when their worlds collide? Sparks fly as a certain boy threatens to break the walls Ash has built high. Secrets are revealed, hearts are broken, love triangles are formed, and of course where Ash goes, trouble follows. A story of Hate-at-first sight. --Completed August 4th, 2014--

Draft • unedited. • • • "And I do love it when a man is at the pointy end of my dagger." I push the blade in more, a sliver of skin parting as red flows between the crevices and blesses the weapon. He only grins wider, "Show no mercy, Angel." He rears up, lips capturing mine and pulling my face closer to his, his hand winding itself around my neck to hold me in place as he draws my whole being into his with only his poisoned tongue and daring words. . . "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." "The enemy of my enemy, is my enemy tomorrow." I counter. • • • They took everything from me. Hunt me. Underestimate me. I have nothing to lose . . . Until he shows up. He is my undoing. The unknown. I can't let him in. • • • He thought I had been broken, consumed in his games. Loyal. At least I was . . . Until I saw her. She is my redemption. She is the job. I have to kill her. • • • Trigger warnings - this book is a lot darker than Alliance and as such deals with descriptions of torture, assault, murder and mention of SA. If this is not for you, feel free to not read. There is some sex scenes throughout this book so please read at your own risk. The main character/s are also very morally grey so if you don't like characters torturing others, this isn't the book for you. • • • Cover by Quirky Circe on Etsy Started writing 09/19 - published 02/20 - finished 03/20.

2.1 | Alice ✔ by PhantomBlacke

What does it take to unlock the path of true happiness? For two complete strangers, it's as simple as a wish to escape their sham of a life. But there's a reason you should be careful what you wish for. They'll be put to the ultimate test to determine how far they're willing to go and how hard they're willing to work for the desires of their hearts. ------------------------------------------------------ Zain Lockheart has always been the prime example of "everything that glitters isn't gold". Constantly living as an outcast in the shadow of his parents' fame and riches, he never imagined there'd be more to life than living in a gilded cage. When he meets Saber Blacke at a housewarming, he discovers a kindred spirit in her. She knows all too well what it is to pretend to be content for the sake of image. All it takes is this chance meeting to send them both nosediving into an alternate reality, where a mysterious race of people are suffering the consequences of a rift-inducing war that took place over a century ago. With Saber as his closest companion, Zain quickly transforms from a burden of privilege into the key of salvation for these people and their doomed world. The goal seems simple enough to accomplish: reunite two kingdoms to restore the world to its former glory. But what he isn't counting on is a pair of intruders, watching his every move from the shadows, hellbent on unleashing chaos and destroying this paradise beyond repair forever. Only one thing is certain now: if he ever wants to return home with Saber, they must first survive the harsh trials and unforgiving wilderness of Wonderland.
