Don't Forget Me
Lux thought she knew exactly how this cruise would go: two weeks of awkward family dinners, no cell service, and way too much time to overthink the silence from the boy who stopped choosing her. She planned to keep her head down, her heart guarded, and her nose buried in a book. Then Colt stole it-and tossed it into the ocean with a smirk that would ruin everything. He's infuriating. Impossible. Completely unexpected. And exactly what she needed. From midnight conversations and stolen tequila to the kind of kisses that leave her breathless, Colt slowly becomes the person Lux didn't know she was waiting for. And maybe it's only supposed to last two weeks-but it's starting to feel like more. Because some people don't just pass through your life. Some people sink in. Stay. Change everything. And maybe, if she's brave enough, this cruise won't be where it ends. Maybe... it's just where it begins. - still being edited - - started 7.10.23- -finished 5.30.25- -Tropes: Forced close proximity Summer fling/romance Love at first sightComplete

Practice Makes Perfect (A Romantic Comedy)
AMBY AWARDS TOP PICK 2023 ❤️ "You think I can't act like I'm into you?" He asks in a whisper. He reaches out, and strokes a finger down my cheek, and I feel myself shiver at the touch. "You think I can't convince everyone that I have feelings for you?" His eyes are darker than ever, and any sign of a smile has now vanished. The only word I can think right now to describe him is "smouldering". I have searched many great romance novels (and even more sub-standard ones), and I am yet to find a better synonym for that particular word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Watson has always played by the rules.
