The Stalker (SAMPLE! Published!)
This story is now a sample due to it being published on Amazon, Smashwords, Googleplay and others. Things may not always be what they seem... Serenity thought she had it all when she married the sexiest man alive, Warren. He gave her everything she ever wanted and dreamed of having. They had money, the perfect house, the ideal marriage, and a sex life one could ever wish of having. Then, things began to change. Warren was always away from home, his appearance changed, and claimed it had to do with his job. With him being apart from her as much as he was, Serenity became frustrated, lonely, and depressed. And felt the one thing that could help her get through those long days away from him was to have a baby. Serenity thought, after explaining to Warren how she felt, things would change. They didn't. She brought up divorce, in which he refused to grant. Then the night of her birthday, the unimaginable happened. As she waited for Warren at her favorite restaurant, an officer came in, informing her Warren was in an accident and that she needed to go in to identify him. In her heart, she never believed he was dead. Serenity always felt she had a stalker, but after Warren's death, it got worse. Twists. Turns. Mystery. Lies, deceit and betrayal....

The Ties That Tempt
When 16-year-old Roshni Sharbin is suddenly transferred to Silverline High School after her father's job relocation, she finds herself thrown into a world that feels more like a battlefield than a school. From navigating strict social hierarchies and academic pressure to dealing with cliques that see her as an outsider, Roshni's high school life becomes a daily challenge. But amidst the isolation and anxiety, she catches the attention of Dirar Malik-the popular, artistic boy with secrets of his own. As Roshni struggles to find her place, she begins to uncover the hidden tensions beneath Silverline's polished surface: bullying masked as tradition, competition turned toxic, and friendships with invisible strings. Through it all, her bond with Dirar grows, offering her moments of solace and hope. But when a scandal threatens to tear the school-and their connection-apart, Roshni must decide who she wants to be: a girl who plays by the rules or one who fights to change them. A story of resilience, growth, and first love, The Ties That Tempt explores the strength it takes to stand alone, and the courage it takes to stand together.
We Never Broke Up (A Second Chance Romance)
"So... what about us?" he asked, and I looked at him, a bit bewildered. "What?" I inquired. "You and me... what are we, Sera? You know how you affect me. You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent. He was right, I couldn't deny the feelings i had for him. They had always been there, but they had intensified with his return. ●●●●●●□□□●●□□□●●● In their final year of high school, Thaddeus and Sera epitomized the dream teen couple, envied by all.

Amelia Carter is a bright and ambitious university student, eager to excel in her computer science program. When she enrolls in Professor Liam Grayson's class, she's immediately struck by his charisma and brilliance. Liam, a well-respected figure on campus, appears to be the ideal mentor-intelligent, composed, and approachable. But beneath his polished exterior lies a dangerous obsession. Liam isn't like other professors. He has a secret-he's drawn to certain women, women who fit a particular profile, and he meticulously orchestrates ways to weave himself into their lives. Amelia, with her sharp mind and quiet charm, becomes his latest fixation. He begins to study her every move, uncovering her secrets and vulnerabilities, all while maintaining the façade of the perfect professor. As Amelia starts to notice odd coincidences-bumping into Liam in unexpected places, receiving anonymous emails with details only someone close to her would know-she dismisses them as her imagination running wild. But when the lines between admiration and obsession blur, she finds herself trapped in a twisted game she never agreed to play. In a world where trust is fragile and danger lurks in plain sight, Amelia must navigate a deadly web of manipulation and deceit. Will she uncover the truth before Liam's obsession spirals out of control, or will she become another pawn in The Stalker's Game? **Please remember to READ, COMMENT and VOTE.

Blinded by Limerence
"You, uh, plan to go out like that?" Furrowing my eyebrows, I cast my gaze downwards, and that's when I remembered I had changed into pajamas after my date. My face heated up - it was embarrassing to unintentionally let Trevor see my pajama set that was, unfortunately, adorned with little cartoon sharks. "I..." I mumbled, my eyes still glued to the sharks swimming around the navy blue fabric, hoping that maybe, just maybe, one would swallow me whole right here and now. I was tense, the atmosphere was awkward, but Trevor, being the smooth player that he was, chuckled, and the mere joyful sound tickled my ears and brought the smile back to my face. "Go change," he said, nudging me to go back inside my house. "Alright, I'll just be a second." × × × 17-year-old smitten Morgan Darhk's world revolves around her best friend's brother, Archer Hastings. The only thing is, he doesn't know she exists - or at least that's what she tells herself and what HE tells HIMself. Morgan thinks she's the only one going through a limerence when it's FAR from the truth. Meet Addison Hastings, Trevor Parks, Chase Humphrey, Hanna Abrams, Eric Carter, and Killian Adler, all fellow victims of the unrelenting limerence. Swept up in a world of betrayals, drama, lies of omission, secrets, and most importantly, passion, these high schoolers go through the one thing everyone has experienced at least once in his or her life, as if a rite of passage: the unrequited love. As Morgan tries to find out what - or more importantly, WHO - she wants in life, she discovers a deeper sense in all this BS... ...that love - or at least limerence - blinds us all to see what's really been in front of us this whole time. × × × ~ Blinded by Limerence ~ 09/01/20 - 07/15/22Complete
