At 22, Eleanor Ellington-known as Ellie-has faced more than her share of adversity. After being separated from her caring grandfather, she was forced to live with her neglectful mother and her mother's drug-dealing boyfriend. When her mother becomes pregnant again, Ellie bravely steps in to protect her unborn brother, Tate. Overwhelmed and desperate, her mother ultimately abandons Ellie, leaving her to raise Tate on her own at just 14.

Eight years later, Ellie's world is shaken again when a lawyer attempts to reach Ellie's estranged father, the call is mistakenly directed to Vince Hawkings Jr.,  her brother. Her Brother is stunned to discover he has a sister and his fathers betrayal. He enlists his best friend, Xavier Griffin, a former military operative turned security expert, to investigate his newfound sister.

Xavier's deep dive into Ellie's past reveals her challenging upbringing and current struggles, including her devotion to her son, Tate. Admiring Ellie's resilience and integrity, Xavier can't stay away, even knowing it might jeopardize a lifelong friendship. 

The Hawking family tries to get to know Ellie but, she remains guarded, wary of the sudden influx of family and the possible consequences for her and Tate. 

In a story of redemption, love, and fierce familial loyalty, Ellie must confront her past and embrace the new family that has come to her aid, learning that sometimes accepting help and love is the hardest, yet most rewarding, thing of all.

Fighter {Completed} by bnpreston023
74 parts Complete Mature
The world has chewed up and spit out Eleanor Robinson again and again. It began with her parents, one taken by a tragedy, one addicted to horrific drugs, and a brother who's too boozed out to know if she's alive or dead. Alone in the world, Ellie isn't exactly sure of how life works, of how anything works, really. The only two people she has that even remotely understand are Sebastian and Scarlett, a pair of siblings that remind her so much of her own family, it's hard to be around them sometimes. When the trio finally move in together after being friends for almost three years, they end up closer than ever. But the move brings along another problem into Ellie's life. Cole Everett is a fighter. From the moment he was cast aside by his family, he's had to fight for scraps at the orphanage dinner table, fight for a spot in the light of his foster family's eyes, and fight for the love of his adoptive parents. It seemed like he never won when it came to personal battles, but in the ring... In the ring, he owned the world. Years and years of the world kicking Cole's ass has shaped him into the fighter Ellie and everyone else sees him as. But the world has also shaped Ellie, and the sweet, heavy-hearted girl paints on a façade that seems only Cole can break through. As the pair attempt to navigate a decent enough relationship to be in the same room as one another without going for the throat, the people around them float between blurred lines of friend or foe. Hearts clash, past enemies arise, and the pair's hearts hang in the balance of it all.

He is the polar opposite of Maya. Smart, confident, and witty. He's often misunderstood for a bad boy, who has quite a handful of girls swooning over him. He's a carefree soul. He is the yin to her yang. What happens when they cross paths and Shawn unleashes Maya's dark secrets? Will he succeed in his mission to pull Maya out of her past, and show what life has to offer? But life is certainly not a bed of roses and nothing comes as easy. _______________________________________________________ They say love can overcome anything. You never exactly know when it will strike and turn your life upside down. Love will make you doubt every single thing that you believe in yet you will find yourself drowning in it slowly, very slowly but deeply. _______________________________________________________ All rights reserved © 2020-Shrya1712
