1927. Young women are thriving with their newfound independence and having fun. 

Except that isn't the case for free spirited Brooke Dashwood. Being an heiress to a wealthy company run by her overbearing and temperamental father, she must live by three simple rules.

No loose relationships. No listening to the 'devil's' music. And no rebellious behavior of any kind.  Feeling trapped in a high society world while trying to be the girl her family  expects, she's destined to break free and live the life she always longed to taste by becoming what she's dreamed of.

A flapper and dancer.

For choreographer Julian Alveres-Brooke's best friend and secretly the man she's been in love with, he has nearly done it all struggling to make ends meet. But when he's presented by Brooke to show her the ways of living life on the edge, while also protecting her at all costs from the realities of it-he strives to be better himself.

Both wanting similar futures and trying to pull away from their undeniable attraction to each other, they'll get exposed to a bigger world that neither of them ever knew.

Lila Daniels has spent all of her life living under the protective wings of her three older brothers, Charlie, Lucas and Tucker or in the gymnastics gym training. None of which resulted in much of a social life. All of that changes though the summer before Lila's junior year of high school when her dad gets a new job in a different state. Being forced to transplant her life to the small town of Romeo without her brothers or gymnastics means Lila is on her own for the first time in her life. How is she supposed to start over from scratch and make new friends now?! The thought of having to meet all new people for someone who likes to fly under the radar is hard enough, but to do it at age sixteen? That feels impossible. As fate would have it, Lila meets Payton Johnson on her first day at RHS who introduces her to Rachel, Kelly and Claire. The five become fast friends. The girls make it their mission to break Lila from her shyness and make Romeo feel like home. Oh, and they also recruit her to join their cheer team which isn't something Lila ever thought she'd feel confident enough to do. Then there's Tyler Johnson. He's the senior football captain, star quarterback and most popular guy in school who happens to also be Payton's older brother. Lila doesn't want to catch feelings for her new besties brother, but quickly realizes you can't really control who you crush on. It's not like Tyler would ever go for her anyways, when he's got so many other girls begging for his attention....or would he? If you're looking for a coming of age love story with strong female friendships, comic relief, overly protective brothers, self discovery, silly small town traditions and a slow burn....then look no further! #1 in "Cheerleader" August 2022 #1 in "Journal" November 2022 #1 in "First Kiss" May 2022 #1 in "Small Towns" May 2022 #8 in " Teen Fiction" June 2022 #2 in "Football" August 2022 #2 in "chick lit" August 2022 #1 in "Teen Romance" September 2022

This isn't your territory~ Rabbit." "M-My apologies... V-Vulture." "Do you know what vultures do to rabbits like you...?" An audible swallow echoed throughout the quiet alleyway. "... A-Are you going to k-kill me...?" --- Nineteen years he spends in the sewers with deranged strangers who grew from friends to the only family he believed was there. Day one of his gang's demented outdoor activities, he takes an interest in what New York City held for him though, after a few hours on the cold streets, fog and mist turn into two heart-pounding minutes of bullet dodging with regret knocking on his front door. America's most dangerous man, as it seems, "persuades" the rookie into joining his own gang, taking him by his broken wrists and ragged clothes and introducing him to the world of drugs, money and any other illegal products that no "commoner" could ever touch. But when this provocative gang leader feels himself melting into the warm hold of the newbie, he questions not only his sanity and ability to trust; he questions why he threw that damn motorcycle helmet in the first place. ~~~ MILD/FRUITY NSFW - Small sexual acts (e.g. jerking off, intimate touching.)

The Men Next Door by wildfirehoney

✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly -- like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by -- and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just their new neighbor. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly -- like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea -- and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)
