Playing the game of fire (Youth Series #2)
(Youth Series #2) Growing up, Chanelle was always overlooked by her parents. She always wanted the same attention and validation her brothers get. And as the youngest and the only woman, she knew she had to strive harder to get all the praise and validation she craves. In school, she would then become one of the most if not the only student that is highly intelligent and competitive. She would get praise from teachers and students, but not from her parents. Ezekiel Timotheo Del Mundo, her enemy. The only guy who had the moral guts to compete with her. She felt threatened, annoyed, infuriated even with his mere presence. She hated his sarcasm, she hated his wits, she hated his jokes, she hated how he does everything effortlessly, she hated him so much that sometimes she couldn't get him off her mind. When she takes the opportunity for a chance to prove herself, she plays the game of fire. Letting herself be engulfed by burning embers of hate and passion. She finds herself thinking, when will this crusade end? Will she continue even if it's slowly burning every single fragment of her being? Will she burn even if it means burning with him? ____________________________________________ Started: Feb 10, 2023 Ended: April 9, 2024 Credits to the owner of the cover used above ❤️ Forbidden Love, Enemies to Lovers & PoliticsComplete
Practice Makes Perfect (A Romantic Comedy)
AMBY AWARDS TOP PICK 2023 ❤️ "You think I can't act like I'm into you?" He asks in a whisper. He reaches out, and strokes a finger down my cheek, and I feel myself shiver at the touch. "You think I can't convince everyone that I have feelings for you?" His eyes are darker than ever, and any sign of a smile has now vanished. The only word I can think right now to describe him is "smouldering". I have searched many great romance novels (and even more sub-standard ones), and I am yet to find a better synonym for that particular word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Watson has always played by the rules.
