Anastasia Gabrielle Velasquez is caught between a life she loves and the family legacy she never asked for. As a passionate veterinarian, she's followed her heart, but that's not enough for her powerful family, who own luxury hotels, resorts, and casinos. Her parents are furious with her decision to pursue a career in veterinary medicine instead of joining their empire, and now they've arranged an engagement for her with Marco Dela Vega-the creepy stalker from her college days who can't seem to take a hint.

As if that wasn't enough, Anastasia's life takes a complicated turn when she meets the cold and distant man who seems to have it all. He's a successful businessman and engineer-Matthias Lorenzo Valtieri. He's from a prestigious family, but he doesn't seem to care about her-or anything, except for his family and close friends that he considered his safe place.

With the pressure mounting from her family, the looming marriage to Marco, and the growing presence of a man who seems impossible to read, Anastasia must choose between the life she's always dreamed of and the oppressive legacy her family demands. Will she follow her heart, or will she be trapped in a life chosen for her?All Rights Reserved

Roots by Sarah-Laney

In the summer of 1918 a tragedy echoed across the world when the Russian Imperial Romanov family was murdered by communists leaving much of the country crying out in mourning. Yet, there was a myth that one daughter, the youngest daughter; the Grand Duchess Anastasia had escaped. Though many disbelieved, for some this would prove to be more than a rumor and it would change their lives forever. Annalisa Peterson, a senior in high school, is dying to get out and move as far away from her family as possible. Not that she has had a rough childhood, but she wants to get away from constantly being expected to be the perfect A student and consistently having to visit her great grandmother who doesn't seem to like her, and oh yeah, doesn't speak a word of English. One final class assignment could change everything that she's ever known, and could literally re-write history. To find out the truth about her family's history, it isn't long before she's digging through old papers, books, photographs, and even travelling to Russia; not to mention getting her heart tangled up with the enemy along the way. As Annalisa finds out more and more, she's quickly discovering that once the real truth is out, her entire life will be turned upside down, and life will become much more dangerous for her, and those around her. Secrets are revealed. Questions are answered. One thing is certain; Annalisa never thought that her senior year would end like this.

The GIRL From Tomorrow by Valerie246679

When I came home, a little girl was waiting for me in my apartment. I was sure I locked the door. I was sure I lived alone. Yet, there she stood-nine years old, with dark eyes just like mine. And then she said something that sent chills down my spine. 'Mommy, I finally found you.' I don't have a daughter. I don't even have a boyfriend. So who is this child... and why does she look exactly like me? ____ Nythea Moire is a cold, intelligent, and untouchable high school senior admired by many but feared by all. Born into a wealthy yet loveless family, she has grown distant and alone, dedicating herself to academics to prove her worth. Her life is predictable until one fateful day. When she returns to her apartment after school, she finds an unfamiliar little girl waiting for her. The child, Cassie, boldly claims to be her daughter from the future. Confused and skeptical, Thea wants nothing more than to kick the kid out, except there's one problem. The apartment was locked. The security showed no break-in. And the child... looks exactly like her. As Thea struggles to uncover the truth behind Cassie's sudden appearance, she gets drawn into a tangled web of fate, unexpected emotions, and a certain quiet but warm-hearted boy named Alexander Sandoval, the only person who seems to believe and understand her. But why is Cassie here? What does she want to change? Why doesn't she say anything about herself? ____ If you're looking for romance, I'm sorry to disappoint you. This story is more focus on family problem, parental issues and main character struggles and development. It's inspired by people who have family problems and how they grow. English is not my first language but it's my second's. But still, don't expect the perfect writing. I planed this story almost two years ago, but I just wrote it now. Don't judge me!
