We stood there. Tracing each other's scars. We wondered to ourselves the story behind them. But neither of us were willing to share. Why wasn't it simple? Why couldn't we just trust each other? Because we couldn't even trust ourselves.

We weren't connecting because we liked each other, we were connecting because we both needed a way out. We were connecting because we both needed a reassurance about love. I'm not sure what this means for us. Our future. All I know is I'll never forget this moment. Because in this moment I felt a spark of hope, and a bit of me open up, without even saying anything. And I know she felt it too.

Dylan Bates is training to take his father's billion dollar business for when he retires.  He has done nothing but business related things all his life and has given up on anything else since the accident.

Rebekah Brooks has been pushed around by her family and is basically taking care of her little sister. Just a few more months and she can fight for legal custody. 

When Rebekah does something completely insane and gets caught by Dylan she is given two choices. Work for him for six months to pay off the damage, or jail. With both of them coming from scarring pasts, they both have to learn to lean on each other for love, and hope.

Because in six months, everything changes.All Rights Reserved

Signed Away (SOON TO BE PUBLISHED ON AMAZON) by maryash12

A signature, a signature was all it took for Diane's life to come tumbling down and smashed into a million pieces. Diane knows what betrayal is. She is the definition of betrayal. She is the walking reminder of the betrayal between a husband and a wife. Betrayal by her family and betrayal by her boyfriend. After the betrayal comes the humiliation and the disgrace. She was forced to leave or more like kicked out with her mother and her baby growing inside her. Her boyfriend makes it crystal clear that he wants nothing to do with her or her baby. Fast forward to the present, her ex-boyfriend is in desperate need of her. Or more like, in need of her baby. But Diane is there to remind him about his signature. Her ex-boyfriend and her ex-family are introduced to a new and crazy Diane. They soon learn that you never ever mess with a woman and her children, it would be like goading a fight with a lioness. And that is what Diane is, a lioness who would and is capable of doing anything to protect her family. And Diane is there to remind him about his signature. Like I said never mess with a woman and her children!!

Marked By You by yoitzher

NOT EDITED PREPARE FOR SPELLING AND GRAMMAR MISTAKES; TRIGGER WARNING: I suck at putting them in the book so if you need one for any reason this is it. Be careful love:) ~~~~~~ Once you become addicted to something it never goes away. And that's what we are addicted. When addicted you'll do anything to get your next fix and for us that involved fighting, murder, and risking our lives just to see the other breathing. and even when your "sober" you'll always be addicted, that will always be your one true craving. That's exactly what happened too. We would set fire to the world around us and never let a flame touch the other because if we did... ... we'd destroy ourselves in the process. Simply I was marked by him And he was marked by me. ~~~~~ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING MY BOOK A CHANCE. PLEASE VOTE AND COMMENT. I HOPE YOU ENJOY BABE:

Wicked Charms | ✔ by AshleighReeds

"So what, you're talking friends with benefits?" "If you really want to put a label on it," I rolled my eyes and leaned back in my seat. "Think of it as two good friends being there for each other whenever they need to be. I'll be honest, you're the first woman I've met that can match my energy in bed, so I think we owe it to ourselves to... explore each other in the best ways possible." Her smile widened, but she didn't respond right away. Instead, she took another slow sip of her wine, savoring it as she held my gaze. The unspoken challenge hung in the air between us, making it clear that whatever happened next, it was going to be on her terms-and I was more than willing to play along. "Just friends, no strings attached?" "Not unless you like being tied up, Dimples," I chuckled, staring into her captivating eyes. "And trust me, I'd be the best friend in the world." *** Meyson Maddox knew better than to let just any woman get close to him. With the lifestyle he led and the influence of his last name, he knew he had to be careful. His golden rule was to hit and dip - no attachments, no expectations. Until he broke his rule for her. Christina Carter had always been by herself. After the traumatic divorce, her parents went through, the last thing she was looking for was love. She saw the damage it did and wanted nothing of it, so when Meyson came up with the idea of sex no strings attached, it worked perfectly. Until it didn't. But all's fair in lust and war, right? ---- Copyright ©️ Ashleigh Reeds 2024 All rights reserved.

Wake Up Call by VictoriaAshleyAuthor

A broken girl... Twenty years old and I'd finally had enough. I couldn't take anymore, so I packed up my things and disappeared, leaving behind my drunken, abusive father and the mother that stood by and watched as I slowly died. I knew I was going, but not where I'd stop. The last thing I expected once on my own, was to be spending my nights stripping at a club in Florida, barely getting by. I should have known running from a past wouldn't make it stop haunting me, because misery will always find me and tear me down until there's nothing left of me. It always has... Things can always change though, right? Like looking up at a handsome, tattooed stranger, and with one stare he has me questioning everything I've ever believed in. I wasn't expecting or prepared for someone to storm into my life. Not him. Jace Montgomery. The name I'll never forget. The need to save me lies in his eyes, but I don't need a savior. Trust- what he wants to teach me. That I'm something more than what I've grown up believing and that I'm worth loving. Those are the things he wants me to believe. How am I supposed to let him in and show me I'm something when I've spent my entire life being... nothing? He won't give up, and honestly, I'm hoping he never does... Because maybe... just maybe... I am worth saving after all.

The CEO's Trio ✔ by maefeyi

*BEING RE-WRITTEN* "I never once told you I broke the engagement," his words were harsh and spoken in a cold voice but his hand that was running up and down my back was burning my skin, "You knew I hadn't and you still went along with it." There was a silence, the brutal truth had been said. He knew it and I couldn't bring myself to admit it. But he was right, every word that came out of his mouth was true. "Admit it Rylee you're in love with me." *** Rylee Jordan is now jobless and homeless after calling of her wedding on her wedding day to her boyfriend of 5 years. She is now desprate for a job. Sebastian Reynolds is your average coldhearted, mean CEO. Now a widower with three spoilt young children and he just can't cope. When Rylee runs into Sebastian, literally and spills coffee all over him and Sebastian demands for her to pay for his brand new suit but not with money... With looking after his three young children. With constant trips to the toy store and late night conversations about babies and diapers and A LOT of arguments. Rylee see's there is more to Sebastian then he lets on. But with one kid who can't stand Rylee, a man who claims to be desperately in love with her, an ex-fiancè who isn't backing down without a fight, a meddling affair, a crazy fiancèe and a bunch of undiscovered secrets.

...We were so caught up in the shared moment of care free joy to notice the midnight grey Toyota pickup truck speeding directly towards us. Meters before impact dad finally caught on to what was about to happen, despite it being day the approaching vehicle's headlights blinded us as our cars breaks slammed on, the sound of the tires melting away as the rubber tires scraped against the pavement filled the air and the scent of burning rubber overwhelmed my nostrils, despite our efforts the brakes didn't slow us down, we were to late. There was nothing we could do as we collided head on..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Attempt two at writing a book lmao, summaries without spoilers are not my strong point but here you go: After a tragic child hood accident Astra is left utterly alone, forcing her to make a massive move across the states to live in Tennessee with her grandmother. A few years pass and Astra finds it difficult to deal with the trauma she experienced as a young child, but surrounded by friends and throwing herself into education she starts to heal, until she meets Jason. In the beginning Jason was a kind, caring guy who seemed genuinely interested in getting to know Astra, but not everyone is who they seem to be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TW LIST!!!!

When the unexpected became the inevitable by FictionFanatic10

"So are we ever going to trust each other?" "Of course we will." He says while also leaning forward showcasing his smile and pearly whites. "So confident Mr Reed." "Of course Miss James. I've read enough books. Watched enough movies to know that the unexpected always becomes the inevitable. In this case myself and you." I lean back and take a swig of water then finally respond, "We'll see if that's true or not." April James had everything any woman could ever want in her life. She had her happily ever after. However, all it took was one ounce of greed to take everything away... After 4 years of working in the same place the memories start to get harder to bear. April's worked too hard to not let anyone take this away from her, even her tormenting memories. How is she surviving? No distractions. Until one day she stumbles across a drunk Alexander Reed. This man is undeniably attractive and also one of the worlds most famous and eligible billionaires. After April helps this mystery guy he can't help but become intrigued about April and why she's so closed off. He's always been used to getting what he wants but he realises it's not an easy game with this woman. Alex goes against his own rules and want to pursue a friendship with April even if she resists. Can she get over the fact that people like Alexander Reed are the ones that caused her so much pain? Maybe they can heal each others wounds? Maybe they aren't as different as they think they are.
