WATTYS 2024 SHORTLIST ⋆ SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE / CELEBRITY ⋆ They say you meet the same people on the way up and on the way down. In her wildest dreams and story plots, novelist Delaney Sharpe never fathomed this could apply to her, or that it would involve Phoenix Alden, the ex-boyfriend who ghosted her while his acting career was on the rise to Hollywood A-list status.

When Phoenix struts back in to Delaney's life after a career nosedive and time away from the spotlight, he claims he's no longer the walking red flag he was when they dated. And when he asks her for a second chance--one weekend together to explain himself and prove he isn't who he used to be--she isn't sure what to do. Reuniting with Phoenix was a daydream Delaney had after he walked out, and before she healed, moved on, and found her own success.

Still, it's only one weekend, and there's a spark between them Delaney can't ignore. She can finally get answers about what happened in their relationship and where Phoenix disappeared to. But when the weekend leaves her with deeper feelings than she expected, more questions, and a mystery to solve, Delaney knows she must uncover the truth about the last few years of Phoenix's life to decide if he really has changed, or if he's a danger to more than just her heart.

Trying Not To Love (COMPLETED) by Books_and_nerds

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. ♡♡♡♡♡ The thing about love is... its unpredictable. Even when you don't want love, it just happens.

Reality by WritingxNicole

SEQUEL TO EXPECTATIONS! It is highly recommended to read the first book before starting this one. - - - - - - It's a funny thing, expectation versus reality. Expectation lives somewhere on the border of your biggest dreams or your worst nightmares. It's just a matter of perspective. You either expect something to go really well, or dreadfully awful. But reality is something much different. Reality, its a bitch. But we all have to face it. It's something that never goes away, and it wins every single time. It's not some illusion you can happily float through, it's a fiery blaze that's going to burn you eventually, and in more ways than one. It's something you have to swallow, even if it feels like a million tiny shards of glass forcing their way down your throat. Two years after Joslyn is forced to leave Alex by his manager, Chris, without a word, the two old lovers cross paths again. It's clear neither of them are the same people they used to be, both struggling with the reality of it all. Since that utter day he was carried out of her apartment complex, Alex hasn't been the same, his good boy image long gone now. For the past couple years Alex has gone off the deep end, and Joslyn hasn't been much better. What happens when these two old flames run into each other again? Lets just say it's anything but a happy reunion with unimaginable twists and turns. Will these two be able to face reality yet again?

Phoenix by bossbitch3000

My entire body felt on fire under his intense gaze. I tried my best to avoid eye contact as he towered over me, but once my eyes met his, the usual amber color of his orbs went darker and darker until they were now of a fervent brown shade and his pupils dilated drastically. The sight shocked me, causing goosebumps to rise all across my arms as electricity shot up my spine and my stomach erupted not in butterflies, but rather, I'd say in pterodactyls. It was both a terrifying and mesmeric sight... ___________________________________________ After being dared to kiss the first person to enter the dark room, 19 year old Essence later finds out that the person she kissed, 21 year old Phoenix, is her hand to hand combat trainer in her new assassin's school. Will the chemistry between them lead to a successful love formula?
