The Lustful Sound (Book 4) ✓
One phone call. That's all it took to change Francesca "Frankie" Milton's life. She thought she was yelling at her ex, but the moment she heard that deep husky voice at the other end of the line, she knew she had made a big mistake. It wasn't her ex-fiancé's voice. Luckily for her, the man who answered her phone was intrigued by her raw anger and didn't take it personally. Even luckier, he wanted to get to know her a little more. She knew that these phone calls and texts with Luke were just a fling, a way to rebuild her trust in men, and what better way than to talk freely with a stranger from who knows where? That was until one fateful day when he was no longer a stranger, and she found herself wondering what was the better choice: giving Luke a chance or trying to forget about him and move on with her life. The problem with those options was that Luke only preferred one of them and was willing to go to great lengths to convince her to choose the right one. He just needed some face-to-face time to do it. Will she let him? "The Lustful Sound" is Book 4 of the "SWAT Team" series. It can be read as a stand-alone.Concluida

Being Butch Green || ✓
An extremely dangerous file. An awkward teenager (who'd rather think of himself as the badboy of nerds). A converted, somewhat nice criminal. And an illegal medical lab. All is not what it seems when seventeen-year-old Butch breaks himself out of the local police station, making a somewhat daring run for it with his criminal file. There's just one tiny problem...he grabbed the wrong file and now the police are hunting him down. On a single chance encounter with his estranged brother Jack, who went awol when he was twelve, Butch never expected his luck to turn so horribly wrong. As the dynamically-misconstructed duo venture off in a game of Dodging Death across the countyside, Butch never expected his plans to return the stolen file to go so terribly wrong... Just what did he get himself into? A journey for all those who understand what being an awkward teenager with some wrongs to right is like. _____________________________________ {Completed} *Featured on the following Wattpad official profiles:* - Secret Treasures: The World is a Big Place (YA) - New Adult: It's All Because of the Hormones (Teen Fiction) - Adventure: The Adrenaline Rush - Humor: Hitting the Fun Hard Warning: This story does contain mild-moderate course language, some graphic violence and a lot of sarcasm as a means to portray characters.Concluida

"It can be if someone is trying to hurt you." He stops me again. "H- How did you..." I stop and am now looking him dead in the eye. "This is gonna sound creepy, but I've been watching you." He looks panicked, "Not in a creepy way though!" "What?" I keep eye contact. "I've just been observing you. That sounds awful." He looks and sounds even more panicked than before, "I mean, I think you're beautiful and I just didn't know how to approach you.

He trails off, "But when I see you around, my gaze gravitates towards you," he sighs, "I sound like a total creep. I'm sorry." He pauses, "I've noticed you've been looking over your shoulder a lot and are in a rush in the halls. Almost like you're running away from something..." His eyes meet mine and I can tell he's being genuine, "I can help you." he says sympathetically. I nod and whisper, "He's always knows where I am and always knows my next move."Concluida
