Shattered
⚠️THIS STORY IS OLD. IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. THE OTHER BOOK IS BETTER⚠️ Adeline was a good kid. She worked hard, took care of herself, and didn't let anybody push her around. At least that's what the kids at school thought. But, like most people, she had secrets. Things nobody knew about her. Nobody knew her mother and stepfather hated her. Nobody knew she lived alone with her best friend. Nobody knew that, outside of school, she was a totally different person. Nobody knew what she had been through, and all the things that left her shattered. This is how she lived her life. This is the only life she had ever known. But what would happen if all of that changed? Could one school lecture, a mishap at the courthouse, and a DNA test change her life forever? For the better or for the worst, Adeline's life is about to change. And for once in her life, she might not have to keep so many secrets. ********************************* Started: 6/18/2022 Finished: 7/29/2022 © 2022 Taylor Sassone Cover by my awesome sister @owlhootsburger13Complete
Unspoken Melodies
a poignant journey of unexpected love, loss, and the painful beauty of memories that last forever. The story begins with a simple moment-a glance through a window. Lizzy, casually peeking outside, notices a boy with his family. At first, he seems like just another loud neighbor, someone who doesn't mean much to her life. But little does she know, this fleeting encounter with Zephyr will become the defining moment of her existence. As their paths cross more often, Lizzy and Zephyr form an unspoken bond that slowly grows into something deeper. Zephyr, once a mysterious figure in Lizzy's life, becomes her closest companion-someone who understands her fears and insecurities. Their connection, filled with quiet moments and stolen glances, eventually blossoms into a love that neither of them ever anticipated. Yet, Lizzy's love for him never fades. Despite his insistence that she move on, Lizzy refuses to let go, fighting to stay by his side. But as Zephyr continues to hide the truth, Lizzy is left to face the harsh reality of the love they shared-until one fateful day when Zephyr's condition reaches its end, and Lizzy finds out the devastating truth too late. In a heart-wrenching twist, Lizzy is forced to say goodbye to the love of her life, only to discover that Zephyr had been carrying the weight of his illness alone, hoping to protect her from the pain he didn't want her to witness. Through a letter Zephyr left behind, Lizzy learns that from the very first moment they met, he had already fallen in love with her. This is a story that explores the depths of love, the heartbreaking decisions we make to protect those we care about, and the unyielding power of memories that stay with us forever. Though their time together was cut tragically short, Zephyr and Lizzy's love proves that even in death, love doesn't die-it endures, living on in the hearts of those who remain.Complete
Love In The Storm
Adeline wasn't planning on having a panic attack in the middle of a thunderstorm-but that's exactly how she met Leo. Head down, heart racing, soaking wet... and suddenly crashing into a stranger with calm eyes and steady hands. Leo's the last person anyone would expect to be soft. He's an FBI agent, used to chaos, and once had a reputation for being the guy who didn't stick around. But Adeline? She's sweet, sheltered, and the kind of girl who can light up a room without even trying. The second their paths crossed, he knew she was going to mean something. And she did... she meant everything. He didn't mean to fall for the girl who's scared of storms. She didn't plan on it, but she trusted him faster than anyone else. But when two messy hearts collide, sometimes the calm comes after the thunder. This isn't one of those over-the-top, cringy romances. There's no love triangle, no toxic drama, and no dragging things out with a million side characters. Just a good timeline, real connection, and all the wholesome moments we secretly dream about. Leo and Adeline are loyal, sweet, and actually communicate (shocking, I know). You'll laugh, smile, maybe cry - and you'll definitely wish you had a Leo of your own. If you're a reader who's tired of the recycled tropes, toxic drama, and characters who can't get their lives together? Same. I've been in the Wattpad trenches too, and that's exactly why I wrote this book. It's everything I wanted to read but couldn't find. So consider this your sign: you're about to find your new favorite. You're gonna fall for Leo and Adeline - I just know it. - Love, yours truly, DaddyMaddyyComplete

The Wolven King {18+} (Sample)
[COMPLETED] As I was beginning to relax, a new terror coursed through my body at his next word, "Strip." "Ex-excuse me?" I blurted out. I wasn't getting undressed in front of him, I barely knew him. He must have been trying to gain something from me and I doubted my fear and embarrassment was what he wanted. Adrenous didn't say anything as he drew his hands up my back and halted at the laces of my dress. I felt him tug at one of the nots and I instantly pulled away and turned to face him, no longer caring that his manhood was out for all to see. Just like that part of him, he too was a dick. "I'm not getting undressed in front of you!" I yelled at him. "Your mine, Alivia," My name passed his lips easily and hearing him say it did things to me which I didn't want to admit. Instead I glared at him, he said I was his as if I was some kind of possession that he could do with as he pleased. He added, "Let me take care of you." I didn't know what he meant by that, all I knew was that I had no intention of doing as he had asked. ✨🌕✨ BOOK ONE OF THE KING SERIES ⚠️ WARNING: this book is mature and should only be read if you are 18+.
