_Because rules are made to be broken_
Things are starting to heat up in Miami, Florida. And no, it's not just the sun!
Jenna, an astute doctor and now single mother, travels across the Atlantic with her three young daughters, including her glum teen, Ivy, who has her own guilt to trudge along with her-to find greener pastures and start a new chapter in their lives. But it's not all that easy as they'd hoped. So it's time to set some rules.
Ivy's list is slightly accomplishable, if only Kyle could stop tempting her with stolen kisses:
*Avoid Kyle "Dino" Stone at all costs. He may be gorgeous, but you've got a friendship at stake!
Jenna's "Reasons why I shouldn't fall in love with Dr. Wright" list is a lot more complex:
*I've only been widowed for about a year.
*I'm ordinary and he's practically Zeus.
*I have my family to think of.
*He might break my heart...
It's so difficult to be good with temptation knocking on the door. But rules are rules. And just maybe, dreaming blue dreams, a wish is a kiss that just might come true 💖🌠!

Fake It For Me (Rewriting)
(Undergoing another rewrite [even the rewrite is. Going to try and publish this]) What would you do if someone said they were dating you when you weren't? What if that person was famous?

When they head to the airport to pick them up, they find themselves stuck in a sticky situation with an international pop star named Jason Chae. Jason claims that Amy is his girlfriend and tries to get himself out of his own personal issues. Amy then goes to Jason and tells him to tell the truth about them not being an item. Jason gives Amy only two options and those options are: 1. Be his 'girlfriend' until he has everything settled. 2. She can try to sue him and risk losing in the court of law. Amy decides that since Jason is the one who lied, she doesn't have anything to lose but that is far from the truth. As Amy and Jason pretend to be a couple, things start to change. Things start to become complicated and their feelings for each other begin to change as soon as two people pop into their lives. All Amy knows for sure is that nothing good comes out of a lie.Complete

Heirs And Hunters
"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
