Book 1 of Ventura Trilogy 

 One major thing about having celebrity parents is the instant spotlight on you from the moment you let out your first cry to the world. Expectations, assumptions, and a lot a lot of comparisons are what life has in store for you. Living a normal life seems impossible with all the stares we get just by walking in the halls of our school, the mall, heck-the public bathroom. 

I can take the looks and whispers, but the thing that seems to tick me off are the endless ships the public makes of me and Ricky or Miggy but worse, both. Being pictured in a love triangle between those twins is certainly the biggest con of the glamorous life we were born in. 

So I ask, how do I place myself out of the spotlight when getting rid of it means illuminating the light onto someone else?

Ours To Be (All Ours, #1)  by SoHoAuthor
60 parts Complete Mature
𝓘𝓼𝓪𝓫𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓪 ♥︎ Not many things have managed to catch me off guard in this life after enduring years of trauma. But Kayden did. He came out of the blue, so sudden, the whiplash is practically everlasting. I've always prided myself in having my shit together and priorities straight- and I did. Until life decided to throw me curveball in the form of a perfectly handsome, charming and oh so out of my league man. I don't even understand why. I was doing just fine without him, in law school at twenty-two, focus set on my studies of becoming a successful lawyer and following in my grandparents' footsteps, surrounded by the most amazing group of friends. But it doesn't matter. When Kayden Dominguez sets his mind and heart to something- he will get it. And my façade might not be strong enough to stop him. 𝓚𝓪𝔂𝓭𝓮𝓷 ♡︎ Despite what the tabloids might say about me, I'm not ignorant or stupid. I know I am that guy your parents would warn you about growing up, maybe still to this day. I am the son of Alejandro- and Alexia Dominguez. Owners of the biggest label company in Southern California. Maybe even the entire state. That itself will have people build and paint your persona to what they think you entail. Good thing I don't give a single shit about that whole puppet show called the media. I'd even go as far as to admit I go through my days feeling superfluous. I lived a pretty hollow life. I don't know how or why that changed the second I met her. It was like something clicked. Had you told me this would happen the day before, I would've probably punched you out cold. But like I said, she waltzed into my life and...I haven't been the same since. I just know I want Isabella Khalil, the ultimate woman of my dreams, to be mine. But how exactly do you pursue the only woman you've ever truly wanted, who also happens to be the only person ever to refuse tumbling for your charms?
Hurt Me Harder (Kylo Ren x Reader) by trisswrites
49 parts Complete Mature
Your talent in English literature hasn't gone unnoticed by your professor, Kylo Ren, but you lack the focus and application to meet your full potential. Perhaps he can urge you to give in to that potential. And to him. But the more you learn about Kylo Ren, the more you realize you can use his own tactics as a professor to help unravel the past that he refuses to face. Or, you're infatuated with your dark and brooding English professor, Kylo Ren, who, to your surprise, returns the sentiment. This is a LONG-FORM, SLOW-BURN (emotionally, not sexually) work. Please take note of that if that's not your cup of tea! That's just my style of writing, and reading for that matter, which is okay. And if that's not your cup of tea, that's okay too!

The Artist's Perspective by Hollowemka
33 parts Ongoing Mature
"Did you ever think about perspective? It's a funny thing. People are essentially looking at the same, but everyone sees something different. And I can't help but feel like I see something that isn't suppose to be there. Something...completely out of the picture." People can go through many horrible things and live. Emma Gonzalez knows that better than most, though she would hardly admit to the hell she went through. After spending years separated from her siblings by a tragedy that can't be undone, she is back with her family, starting a new life. New house, new school, new people. She got a chance to start over and she intends to use it for the best. But can she really do that with the shadows of her past always behind her? Noah Knight thought his life couldn't get worse. His love life went to hell and his personal seem to want to follow right behind. He needed a break. But a new school year is here, which means new homework and exams. Yay! Though after discovering the arrival of new kids, he believes things might take a turn. He is proven correct when a blond beauty with unique eyes walks in with her brothers and trouble starts to show it's face to the world. After getting tangled in her crazy world full of art, talking food, soccer and horror toilet, he believes he should have sat this one out. Too late now. Hi guys! This is my very first story, so constructive criticism, pointing out grammar errors and tipos is welcomed. English isn't my mother language, so I would appreciate your help. Warning: This book will involve adult content such as mature language, bullying, child abuse and rape. If there is someone reading this who went through the things listed above, I want you to know that you are not alone. You are loved and very strong to continue fighting, and I'm sorry about everything you went and probably still are going through. If you want to talk with a stranger for a different perspective, my chat is always open for you. SLOW UPDATES!

I did... the day I met him. Eva: My younger sister's diagnosis with autism drove my career choices. Thanks to college and hard work, I loved my job as an Autism Specialist Teaching Assistant at the school my sister attended. Making a difference in the children's lives was all that mattered to me, along with my family and best friend, Amber. Until I bumped into him, the special guest coming to talk to the children. With his gorgeous face and sexy Irish lilt, he made my heart pound in a way I'd never experienced before, and I knew I'd never be the same again. Justin: Being signed to a top English club had been my goal since, well, birth. But the move required leaving Ireland behind to start a new life in Liverpool... which would be simple if I didn't have to move my parents and younger brother, Brandon, with me.

Book Two of the Windsor Triplets Trilogy. These books can be read as stand-alone novels, but it is recommended they be read in order. THIS IS A CHRISTMAS BOOK. WINDSOR TRIPLET TWO: THE SELFLESS TRIPLET ACE VILLAN: Ah, I was only trying to help him. The media saw us together with a ring on his finger, his mistake, and now they have labeled us as engaged. I didn't deny it. After everything he has gone through, I wanted to help him. Cade Windsor is magnificent. I wasn't sure what drew me to him. He has identical triplet brothers, and to me, I only see him. Ever since the moment we met in the break room of my company over a year ago, I couldn't stop myself from being pulled toward him. The only problem is-I've spent my entire life believing I was straight, and this little show we have to put on has me questioning a lot of things. The biggest question I have to answer comes from one drunken kiss and the way I felt when it happened. Maybe I have a few things to learn about myself. But I know one thing, loving Cade Windsor will not be a hardship. CADE WINDSOR: Ace Beckett not only told the media we were engaged, he told me it was to help shove them away from the nightmare my parents caused. I was tired of being tagged as the emotionally abused adult because his parents didn't love anyone but themselves. Now, Ace had me agree to keep up this little ruse to the media-he said it would be fun. But I'm hiding things from him. Things that would end our friendship if he ever found out, and I didn't want that. I am in love with him, and it happened completely by accident. I thought I could handle it. Then, one drunken night, he kisses me, and it changed everything for me. I want to pull away while keeping him close. My brain and heart are fighting for dominance. He is someone I can't have, but something I want. But one thing was for certain. Even though it hurt, loving him was no hardship.

So, my parents are high-ed rich business woman and business man who runs one of the most successful firm in the world; and there goes Bianca, the miss popular at school who happened to be my sister. What a family! Pretty perfect, right? Think again. Coping up after waking up from a coma and finding out I lost someone I love is not easy especially when you feel like dying. I got three friends - one is abnormally stupid but sweet and his name is Luke; the other one's a genius who dyes his hair very often I have to remind him that he'll go bald by the age of 30 and his name is Michael; and the last one is someone who thinks he's invisible to the eyes of everyone that I had to remind him that I'm always here for him and ended up caring for me too much and his name is Calum. But, that's not it. Cause this jock guy at school is bugging me and I, well, kinda hate him and kinda like him all at the same time. Something about him tells me that I knew him since forever which is crazy cause he just moved here a couple of years ago. Let's see where my story would go. ----------------------------------------- As of February 13, 2022 #8 in 5SOSIMAGINE #5 in SOUNDSGOODFEELSGOOD #99 in LUKEHEMMINGIMAGINE #6 in ASHTONIRWINIMAGINE #19 in 5SECONDSOFSUMMERIMAGINE #14 in CALUMHOODIMAGINE #8 in MICHAELCLIFFORDIMAGINE #22 in 5SECONDSOFSUMMERPREFERENCES #58 in ONEDIRECTIONIMAGINE As of December 2024 #15 in ASHTONIRWINIMAGINE #10 in 5SECONDSOFSUMMERPREFERENCE #23 in 5SOSPREFERENCE VOTE.
