See You Again by CoffeeAndSilverInk

"Oh look, she's here, again, yuppie" "Is that sarcasm, William?" "Yes, how did you know?" 🧡🧡🧡 Will has everything he could ask for. A loving family, friends, a place in the most exclusive school in the country, a cool house and an enormous collection of video games. Not to mention, he's the captain of the swimming team. Although he is extremely privileged, something is missing. Or rather, someone. Red lipstick on pretty smiles, black eyelashes that bat over mint green eyes, perfectly styled hair cascading down her back, musical laughter and a silky voice. In his eyes, Vanessa is a perfectly beautiful human being. But she doesn't need a man, and Will's attempts at wooing her aren't getting him anywhere. Enter McKenzie. Vanessa's friend is everything but someone Will would befriend. He soon realizes that she's more trouble than help in his quest to make Vanessa fall in love with him. His goal? Get McKenzie out of the equation and seduce Vanessa into his loving arms. Unfortunately, he's yet to find out that the task might not be as easy as he wants it to be. 🧡🧡🧡 Start: 18/12/20 End: 26/08/21

Writer's Block (Complete) by StephanieGower

This book is now available at Barnes & Noble and nook. This is now only a sneak peak of the book. Trina is a writer, one of her books finally made the best sellers list, so why can't she seem to write another one just as good. She's spent every dime she had, thinking that there would be more to come but even books on the best sellers list stop selling over time. What she needs is another novel, what she's stuck with is writers block. Seeing no other option, she's forced to move back in with her parents. Of course, she could do worse, I mean come on they live on a beach. It's absolutely beautiful with its quaint cottages and sandy beaches that stretch for miles. Trina left this small Island for the big city life long ago after something tragic happened. She has kept this secret for years and intends to die with this secret, until she gets drunk one night and confides in an old friend, Sebastian. Sebastian is sexy, hot and successful, he's a doctor, she could do worse right? And then, there's Alex who she was in love with ten years ago when she ran from the island, does she still love him, or should she leave the past in the past and find happiness with Sebastian. Does she even see Sabastian as more than just a friend? Alex is an ex-Marine turned Sheriff of the island. He's seen more than one man should in their lifetime and is a little broken from the experience. Add that to the fact that Trina broke his heart ten years ago and you get an angry man with a chip on his shoulder. Does his cold exterior match what he's really feeling inside, or has he never quite gotten over Trina? Only he knows the truth as he keeps her at arm's length.

A Summer Reminiscent by OvercrazyFangirl2-0

"Yeah, I was born in August so naturally my parents thought it was a perfect name," I rolled my eyes for emphasis. "It gets annoying after a while though." As soon as August finishes her sophomore year in high school, her father sells their house and moves the family into their rental home on Rock Rose Beach. Faced with this new change, August longs for friendship, especially when she meets her next-door neighbor Jacob. "Well, I think it's a pretty name," he smiled again, which made his whole face light up. He stared at me for a minute more before asking, "I feel like I recognize you from somewhere, have we met before?" As her 17th birthday draws nearer, August begins to recall a past summer spent at the beach with Jacob when she was little. But was their closeness a thing of the past, or will she be able to rekindle what they might have had before?
