Perfection. Madison Conway hates the word. It's all she's ever heard when growing up. If she cared about being perfect, it would fit her like a glove. She's far from perfect, though. Her life is far from it and she's fine with that.
She has a good job. Amazing friends. A little brother who is always there for her. In her eyes, her life is 'perfect'. There are just a couple of things that would make it amazing, though.
The first would be to have her mum and big brother back in her life after they left years prior. The second would be to have someone to love who loves her and who can show her that life could be great. The third and final thing is the most important thing to not only her, but her brother and that would be to have their dad out of their lives once and for all.
So what if her chance at happiness and to have what she deserves has been in front of her the whole time? What if her last chance at not only happiness but love has been in the form of the one friend who has been there for her since they met?
Will she finally have her own version of perfection thanks to one man? Or is everything still only a dream for her?

A Step to Love
Sixteen year-old, Lillian Parker, was the normal girl until an accident with her mother changed that. From that day forward, she had to live under her enemy's lair, seeming there is no one else to take her in. It didn't exactly help the fact that she was smart, and thanks to a little mix-up in her school's program, Lillian ended up getting more close to him. Not only that, but weird feelings start arriving, and soon she discovers what path to take. Even more weird things start to happen when a few other characters drop by. She is constantly bothered by her flashbacks and by her constant babbling whenever she over thinks the circumstances that she goes through. After a while of settling in, she starts experiencing relationships from up-close. They say that to walk the only thing you need to do is put one foot in front of the other, but for Lilly, is not how you walk, is more how far you get. Really.

They were going to spend the rest of their lives together and were planning on doing so until their lives changed for good. Luca Madden was her one true love and she was his.

(@Eman_Othman) ** "One of the most lovely stories that I have read so far on this platform. It's perfect." (@Luxami) ******************* Catherine Rogers found it hard to reject her best friend's brother, who was set on winning her over. He embodied everything she hated in a man, pushy, shallow, and selfish. But, Taylor and she had been friends for over 10 years, and Catherine's constant rejection of him was putting a strain on their long term friendship. Moreover, Catherine's heart was already fluttering for someone else: the endearing stranger she meets on the bus. He was kind, patient, and charming. She didn't even know his name, yet there was just something about him that made her swoon. When this mysterious stranger disappeared, she was left with an aching heart, and nothing more than sweet memories of a man who made her smile every time they met. She feared she would never see him again. Until one day, the most unexpected thing happened. --------- A biiiig thanks to all those who loved, voted and commented on Catherine's story.

All That Matters [COMPLETE]
Liam thought that the only significant event that would ever occur in his life would be his parents getting a divorce. But that's where he was wrong. Suddenly, Liam's average Australian teenage boy life is thrown up into the air when he and his mum decide to move to California. Liam finds himself with a buzzing social life that he never had before and of course, a beautiful girl living next door. Will the craziness of teenage life get in the way or will one shake be all it takes? *AUTHOR'S NOTE* I just wanted to say that I'm sorry to anyone who was waiting for me to take this story further. I feel like I hit a bit of a brick wall. I love this story, it was the first time I started writing for me and not for school. I was getting some major writer's block when it came to this story which felt weird because the creative juices had been flowing up to this point. I love this story and the characters and I finally realised that any writing I tried to force out would be really bad quality and that it could ruin the story. I do realise that this is very frustrating; I would be annoyed if someone did it to me. But I really think that in this case, less is more. I may come back to this story one day, but I make no promises. I feel like my time with Liam and Saskia has come to an end. They can enjoy their summer in peace! Basically, this is just a feel-good summer read, and I hope I've brought you some enjoyment at least. xx RomanceWriter2000 :)Complete
