At the end of her Senior year Claire's once neighbor, Lucas, returns. This would typically just be an interesting piece of dinner gossip - pass the salt? - and life goes on...right? It isn't so. Claire can't get him out of her head and quite frankly, the attraction between them is obvious. But why are they only seeing this now? 

Life won't wait for them as they are pulled in different directions. Claire will have to decide if she is willing to change the path she's headed towards for Lucas and if altering her plans to take a chance on love with someone she had once seen as no more than a neighbor and friend is the best thing to do. She'll have to ask herself if she can overcome her fears of falling hard and if she trusts him to be the one to catch her.

Because if it was not until the second time around that they realized these feelings, who's to say the risk is worth the shot in the dark?All Rights Reserved

Where the Stars Fall by AnaSimons

How far would you go to protect the ones you love? A successful architect with a promising career in London, Brian's world spins out of control when the man he always saw as a second father betrays him in the most unexpected way. Left without closure, a year has passed and Brian is now more determined than ever to undo the harm done to the ones he loves most, his family. Even if that means riding the thin line between justice, revenge, and obsession... Immersed in his resolve, finding love again was the last thing on his mind. Until fate steps in and a chance encounter changes everything. Meeting Olivia again so unexpectedly, at his best friend's wedding, stirs up memories he had long ago put away. She'd been his first love, his kindred spirit - and the woman who left him without saying so much as a goodbye. Which doesn't make him want her less. He knows it, the moment she locks her deep green eyes on his. Even knowing it might be too late to repair what's been once broken, Brian refuses to lose her again and sets out to find a way back to her heart. But it's been more than ten years since their story was left unfinished. Will they get one last chance to make things right? Or will Brian learn that sometimes justice comes at too high a price? *** NOTE TO READERS: A full-length, standalone contemporary romance, Where the Stars Fall was previously published on Wattpad as Falling Home. This edition has been fully revised with added and edited content.

Jessie's Girl [Is Complete : Watty's 2018] by daringadventure11

She's Jessie's girl. (Or is she?) Bri has been Jessie's girl since freshman year of college, and Luke Merlin is Jessie Pierce's roommate, best friend, and extended mind on the football field. But maybe being Jessie's girl isn't all that great. Is the love still there- was there ever any love? Bri starts to question everything relating to Jessie during her final year of college, and boy does it get heated. Brielle Quinne starts to falter in the relationship, not trusting her new undefined feelings. The day that should be a romantic one for Brielle and Jessie, isn't- but more intimate for a certain best friend and Brielle. But what if Brielle and Luke's little stunt isn't the problem - what if the problem was Jessie all along? Will Luke ever get the girl he has been pining for since Freshman year? ~*~ So like- this story may (to some) contain vulgar language and some sexual scenes. In no shape or any form are those sexual scenes meant to do anything but further enhance character relations- not reader ones. The language may get bad at some point- but not to the point of the average american words. ~*~ Undergoing major editing. Read the first part for more info!
