Maela Whitaker is the daughter of a small town mayor and very self assured. After losing her mom she wanted to fulfill her dream by visiting the city that never sleeps, New York. Luckily for her, her highschool was having a fundraiser and some lucky students, including her, would get to go on a once in a lifetime trip to New York. Unfortunately, she is forced to spend the happiest time of her life with her self proclaimed rival, Rowan.
Rowan Grayson is the byproduct of a loveless marriage and escapes his family life by risking everything for the thrill. This includes his recklessness on his motorcycle along with his behaviour when surrounded by friends. All this while surprisingly surpassing his classmates academically and pissing off his "runner up" Maela.
Rowan and Maela have fought head to head since the start of their academic journey. This New York trip is their first time interacting without the need to be more successful than the other. Could this blossom a new friendship in between the two, or foster more animosity?

Piper Walsh has always been the fixer. The one who keeps it together, no matter what life throws at her. So when an internship lands her in New York City for her final year at Columbia, she packs her bags and promises her brothers she'll be fine. Then her housing falls through-and she ends up living with five inked-up, too-hot-for-their-own-good bikers. They're reckless. Messy. Completely inappropriate. And somehow, the only people in the city who feel like home. Except for Greyson Lowell. He's the quiet one. The one who doesn't look at her. Doesn't talk to her. Definitely doesn't want her there. He keeps his distance like it's a full-time job-until he doesn't. Until one stolen moment changes everything. Piper knows heartbreak when she sees it. Greyson's drowning in it. And the closer she gets, the more he pushes her away. But Piper didn't come this far to let one broken boy scare her off. Even if he might be the one thing that could break her in return.Complete![Heartfelt Transitions [First Draft]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/369616590-256-k193030.jpg)

THE BOOK IS PUBLISHED AS EBOOK AND PAPERBACK ON AMAZON AND AVAILABLE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED https://www.amazon.com/Ellie-Norse/e/B09KRN8GMF?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1663267996&sr=1-1 ---------------------------------------------- Acid almost got kicked out from the mother chapter 5 years ago when he decided to hit on Katie, Tank's daughter, in a not so nice way. After Beast beat him up and they found out why he acted the way he did, they decided to let him stay as a prospect to earn their trust again. Now, he's a trusted member and a patched Enforcer. Dealing with his alcoholic, junkie mom and trying to keep her alive still affects him, but he's learned his lesson and tries not to take it out on other people, especially the other members and their family. When Bear's sister and niece move to town, Acid tries his best to behave. Bear's niece, Juniper, is a ray of sunshine who always sees the best in people, but she lacks some social skills. She doesn't understand that not everyone is nice, and that some pretend to be just to take advantage of her. Her naivety makes Acid annoyed as hell, especially when he has to step in and save her from fuckboys at college. She's also made it her mission to make him smile and be happy, and she doesn't budge even when he tries to push her away. ---------------------------------------------- **This story contains mature content, sexual scenes, strong language and violence** Please vote and let me know what you think :) This version is not edited.Complete
Your Perfect Girl
"𝑁𝑜 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑓 𝐼'𝑚 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡." Daphne Calbot had everything a high school girl could want. Gorgeous, rich, popular, she's the girl everyone envies! Except, of course, maybe Daphne herself. Kane Hopkins, on the other hand, is Summerset's resident robot. As student council president and valedictorian, Kane is all crisp shirts and cold stares. He lives by his color-coded schedules and has exactly zero patience for cheerleaders who think glitter cannons are a good idea. To him, Daphne is pure chaos. To her, Kane is allergic to fun. So naturally, when they're forced to co-plan the biggest pep rally of the year, things get... messy. Between flying pom-poms, glitter debates, and one very dramatic fall from the cheer pyramid (which Kane may or may not have caught her from like a rom-com hero), these two opposites can't seem to stay away from each other. And the more time they spend together, the more Daphne realizes Kane isn't just a robot-he's the only person who sees past her perfect mask. And for Kane? Daphne might be the only chaos he's willing to let into his perfectly controlled world. But with past traumas, pushy quarterbacks, and a whole school watching their every move, can the golden girl and the boy genius figure out their feelings before it's too late?
