Opposite attracts
Robin Anderson had no plans that night except surviving another concert her friends dragged her to. Crowds weren't her thing. Pop music wasn't her thing. But Sabrina Carpenter definitely was. When Sabrina's eyes met hers across the arena - and she was pulled onstage to play "Juno" -something electric sparked between them. Something real. Something neither of them could explain. Robin's world is one of structure and quiet discipline. Sabrina's life is chaos wrapped in glitter and spotlights. They couldn't be more different, yet somehow, they fit. What starts as a dangerous flirtation turns into something real. Late-night messages. Secret hotel rooms. A love that's both beautiful and destructive. Robin's discipline is no match for Sabrina's charm, and Sabrina's world isn't built for something this raw, this honest. But fame has its price, and the past doesn't like to stay buried. When old wounds and jealous hearts resurface, Robin and Sabrina have to fight for their love - or risk losing each other to the darkness waiting in the wings. Opposite Attracts is a slow-burn, passionate romance about finding love in the unlikeliest place, holding onto it through the chaos, and learning that sometimes the strongest bonds are the ones the world doesn't understand.
The Rise of Raven (18+) ☑
(Steamy) This is a standalone spin off from the Distorted Windows Trilogy. You do not have to read them first but is recommended. THIS IS AN EROTIC ROMANCE! IT IS RECOMMENDED 18+ for vulgar language, very explicit sex scenes and some violence. (I tried to post an excerpt from the most tamed part of the book. Hahaha. The sex scenes are intense.) Excerpt: My hands moved to his hair, my fingers sliding through the thick locks, urging him to move where I wanted to feel him most. Placing soft gentle kisses down to my inner thigh, he then moved his head to the other leg, repeating the process. The teasing was becoming too much, my legs parting as I gripped his hair, trying to tug him towards my center. His soft chuckle caused hot breath to fan over my folds, a gasp escaping as my head pushed back against the pillow under my head. "Please Kai." "Mm, I love the sound of you begging." His tongue flicked out, sliding up and down my slit at a slow tortuous pace. "Tell me what you want, Raven." Panting, my hands fisting his hair, my hips thrust forward. "I need more." He growled, a delicious feral sound as he buried his face between my thighs. *** Lilly Vanderbrooke and her twin brother are both running from a past that they would rather forget. Moving back to the hometown and the house that they were born in, they quickly become acquainted with their new neighbor. Quiet, reserved Lilly discovers that her new neighbor is awakening something in her that has been dormant for years.

When he first lays eyes on the gorgeous Raven-haired beauty, something deep inside instantly draws him to her. From their very first encounter, sparks fly, and the connection is intense on both sides. Join them on their journey of growth, self-discovery and electrically charged sexual attraction!Complete

But between shared cups of coffee, late-night talks across the fence, and Sophie's growing attachment to Emily, something undeniable begins to grow. And when the world comes knocking again, Liam will have to choose: keep hiding behind his carefully built walls-or open his heart to the one person he never saw coming.Complete
