Tessa Martinez isn't here to play. She's focused on growing her nail tech business, leveling up her YouTube channel, and staying drama-free at her new school. Romance? Not on the schedule.
Then she meets Adonis Jackson.
Senior. Streetwear star. Founder of Apex Wear.
Everyone's either crushing on him-or trying to be him. But Tessa's not impressed. Her indifference only makes Adonis more curious, and what starts as friendly banter quickly turns into something deeper neither of them expected.
As ambition and attraction collide, Tessa and Adonis must navigate viral attention, jealous exes, and the pressure to succeed-while figuring out who they really are beneath the hustle.
Because being seen is easy.
Being real?
That's the real risk.

Rose Bridges
Romero, struggling to push through the day to day life of his world: court bills, money, family, money, the past, money, his own mind, and more money. Carmen has been pushing to become a lawyer her whole life; wanting to be taken seriously in a field dominated by men is not easy though, and if putting up a front to be taken seriously is what it takes, then so be it. A certain struggle comes with feeling as though you have to act a certain way versus who you really are. Except a sensitive heart of gold can't be hidden behind a brick wall forever. Two people, walking across the same tight trope on opposite ends, trying not to fall. One going against the law and one trying to be the law. One born with a silver spoon and one suffering from the abrasions of life. Both trying to survive in worlds not made for them. Except everything in this world overlaps; bridges connecting different lives and stories. It's just a matter of realizing you're not too different from the person on the other side of that bridge.

Chasing Charming ✔️
Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.Concluida![Bad boys can change[fixing up]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/29120566-256-k455173.jpg)
