"American Dream" is a poignant and captivating story of forbidden love, personal growth, and the struggle to reconcile passion with the harsh realities of fame and personal trauma.

Noémie Leroy, a bright and ambitious young girl from France, arrives in New York City for what she hopes will be a transformative year as an au pair for the esteemed Wilson family. Her role is to care for their delightful twin children, Alexis and Irene, while adjusting to life in the bustling Greenwich Village.

Her world takes an unexpected turn when she meets Elias Wilson, the oldest son of the Wilson family. Elias, a charismatic and rising star in the entertainment industry, captivates Noémie with his charm and passion. Despite their vastly different worlds, their connection deepens as they navigate the complexities of their lives.

Noémie's journey is marked by the weight of her past as the eldest daughter in her family. Always expected to uphold high standards and shoulder significant responsibilities, she carries deep-seated fears and insecurities. Her traumatic experiences with these expectations make her hesitant to embrace the new opportunities in New York fully.

As her secret romance with Elias flourishes against the glamorous backdrop of the city, Noémie grapples with her past and the expectations that have shaped her. Their relationship is tested by the pressures of fame, societal scrutiny, and their own emotional baggage. In a world where every move is under the spotlight, they must decide whether their love can withstand the challenges or if their separate paths are destined to keep them apart.

Gabriel & Athena, Book One: Fate  (A Wattpad Featured Story) by NMBooks
26 parts Complete
FORMERLY TITLED "FATUM" Chosen as a Wattpad Featured Story in May 2017 There's a reason high school senior Athena Thorpe spends every available moment reading books: fiction is always so much better than the real world. Even the unexpected scandal she suffered thanks to Jackson Montgomery was just a blip in her typically mundane existence in Sparrow, North Carolina. But no story could ever compare to the life-altering events that occur when Gabriel Valente moves into town. Being the son of a notorious crime lord and having grown up on the streets of Manhattan, Gabriel defies all the expectations the students of Sparrow High have for him, including Athena's. She never expected he would match her interest in the written word, or his unlikely grand gestures and definitely not the immediate but intense feelings which cause them to spiral into a secret relationship. A relationship that hinders on Gabriel's uncertain future, which could find him being the heir to the mob throne. Whether or not she wants to admit it, Athena knows the world Gabriel comes from is a dark and violent one. It's just really easy to pretend it doesn't exist within the bubble that is Sparrow. Yet, no matter how much we pretend, reality is never far away, with Gabriel and Athena learning a tragic lesson about choice and consequence a little too late. When you finally decide what you want most in life, the next question becomes: will fate agree?

What is she meeting within facing the most feared facts of life? "stop resisting Samantha. You want this I can tell," Raising my head. I look up to stare into those capturing ocean-like eyes that are trying to offer what I think I want but at the same time, I don't think I do. "I don't know Kai," I say in my small voice trying hard to not stutter with my words. I feel one of his fingers under my chin raising my head to look up at him and I find myself drowning in his ocean-like eyes "You do know sweetheart." He says looking straight into my eyes while grinning down at me. I find myself again not being able to pull away from staring at his lips and when he catches where my attention is, he smirks. I turn my gaze away quickly when I am caught staring but that makes him chuckle. I turn my head to the side but I feel the tips of his lips lingering beside my cheek, all the way to my ear. His hot breath on my skin brings goosebumps on my skin while the hairs on my skin stand. "I know you hate this place princess and I also know that you don't want to make good memories here but try me sweetheart, and I will make you feel like you are back home in America."
