The stories we cannot escape from shine out like beacons.
Nicole used to spend her days steeped in the groaning sounds and labored breaths of medical training. Now, she spends her nights taking slow drags on her cigarette and gazing out her bedroom window in order to forget. But the mushrooms sprouting in her neighbor's yard are the hallucinogenic variety, and soon enough Nicole finds herself reliving the summer Apollo - her childhood best friend - was found dead in the marshes.
Initially, everything seems the same, a game she cannot change. Yet another small-town murder. Yet another big-newspaper headline. But in dreams nothing is set in stone. Reality and fantasy intertwine, and Nicole, no longer in the grip of her teenage mind, is determined to reshape them both.
But how can someone win when they're up against generational wealth, rancid morals, and powerful fraternal organizations?

Once in a Lifetime {BxB English}
IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime has been removed from Wattpad and is preparing for publication on Amazon. The first two chapters remain available as a preview. Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.Complete
