Cajamarca ⭍ Bill Weasley/OC
It's been one year since Josie returned from Peru, eight months since Bill began dating Fleur Delacour, and one too many days since the ancient Incan curse she received during her travels began to manifest itself. Turning to a Knockturn Alley shopkeeper for help is probably not a good idea, but Josie is too prideful to tell her best friend, Bill Weasley, why she's been avoiding him. After all, he's probably too busy being crazy in love with his new fiancée to notice that she's even been cursed in the first place. The more she turns to dark magic to break her curse, however, the worse it gets, until at last she realizes that she's been looking for answers in all the wrong places. Beware the cost of greed, for it can come in many forms. Bill Weasley/OCComplete
The Curse Of Midnight
Elara's life was supposed to be simple-until the clock struck midnight on her eighteenth birthday. Now, every night, she is pulled from her bed and thrust into a strange world of endless masquerades, shifting realities, and cryptic messages. With no memory of how she got there or why, Elara is caught in an unbreakable curse, forced to relive the same haunting cycle over and over again. But in every new world, there's one constant: a man with storm-gray eyes. Alistair. He's both a stranger and someone Elara feels she's known forever, a person she's danced with, searched for, and lost a thousand times. Each night, he whispers words she doesn't fully understand-promises of a truth that's just out of reach. When a silver ring appears in her hand, Elara realizes that the curse is more than just a dream-it's a powerful force with a deeper connection to her than she ever imagined. As the truth behind her past and the curse begins to unravel, Elara must decide if she's willing to trust the mysterious man who haunts her dreams... or risk losing herself entirely to the darkness. Will she break the cycle before dawn, or will the curse of midnight claim her forever?Complete

The Time-Traveller's Choice
One moment, Emma Scott is in her college room in 2015, and the next she's in 1921 falling in love with an ex-soldier with a charming smile and a secret... Emma's an old hand at time travel: the first time she was pulled backwards she was ten years old. She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time. The problem is that the object was an old ring that her Granny Alice bequeathed to her, and Emma last saw it on the finger of her great grandmother, fleeing into a crowded London street. Now Emma is trying to find the ring and go back to her own time, but her great grandmother has vanished, and meanwhile there's Charlie Lawrence who's making Emma wonder if she even wants to go back at all...Complete![The Crocodile's Love [OUAT || RUMPELSTILTSKIN || Crocodile's Love #1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/246333954-256-k75918.jpg)

Navigating teenage life is hard enough-- an older brother who doesn't have his life together, parents that never seem to be around the house, adventuring with the BEST friend in the world, meeting the cute boy who just moved in down the street --all while trying to be "normal." For Eva May, normality in this day to day life is anything but possible. Eva was born with a curse, or as the world would see it (if they even knew), a gift. Above the head of everyone she sees, she can see a countdown. A clock ticking down the years, days, hours, minutes, seconds until they die. As Eva interacts with people and sees people interact with each other, she can watch the rhythm of their clocks slow or quicken depending on what is going on. A day can turn sour when she sees a clock with only a few hours left, or can turn into a celebration when she slows or stops the ticking of someone's timer. In "expired," Eva meets Clay Walker, the typical boy next door who loves his dad, bikes, and adventures with no direction. As Eva gets to know Clay, she notices something is a bit off with his clock: the more she befriends him, the faster it goes. How can Eva try and help Clay, and what will happen as their relationship develops and his time starts ticking down? Find out in Brianna M. Cruz's teen romance novel, "expired."Complete
