Unintended Consequences
"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

Waiting For August
When August Vaughn is forced to move cities yet again, she makes a promise to herself - no attachments, no heartbreak. She has spent the last seventeen years of her life guarding her heart, but when she meets Ciara O'brian, her walls begin to crumble. For the first time ever, August feels like she belongs. The only problem is Ciara's older brother, Ciann, an arrogant rugby star who seems determined to push her away. Ciann O'brian has his future mapped out- graduate, go pro, and leave the small town of Kilkenny, Ireland, behind. He can't afford distractions, especially not from his sister's sharp-tongued American friend. Determined to stay focused, Ciann makes August hate him, or at least he tries too. But no matter how hard he pushes, she keeps showing up, refusing to back down. As their final year of secondary school unfolds, August and Ciann find themselves caught in a turbulent dance of rivalry and friendship. But after their last summer, everything falls apart and they stop speaking altogether. Now, with their past and future colliding, the two must decide if some stories are meant to be rewritten, or if their last August together was truly the end.

My Brother's Best Friend✔️
"You're going to pay for that." I whispered to her, making sure to graze my mouth across the spot that makes her breath hitch. When I saw her remain unfazed, I leant behind her and switched on the shower... causing a small gasp from her beneath the chilling water. Placing both hands either side of her head, I leant into her and hovered my lips above hers. Neither of us moved until she finally breathed the words that made my knees weak. "Oh, just fuck me already." ~~~ A plane journey was all that stood between Rebecca Brooke and Ashton Miles. One hour and 20 minutes in the sky was all that it took for her to arrive at her perfectly planned summer in France.
