40 parts Complete Mature
***This story contains mature scenes*** ------------------------------------------------------- She doesn't give up... He doesn't let go... They say we pay for our sins one way or another. They say life is cruel. The moment you find your hopes, your worst fear comes to you. They also say love is strong. They say love conquers all. But no one asks at what price? An out-going but not-so-confident girl, Laura Brown, who has her own fancies and dreams of her Prince Charming, is working as an assistant in a small company. Her life is on a routine of going to work and hanging out with her friends. She's hurt from her past. Things had happened that she did not deserve. But even after everything, she's strong and she passes every day taking a step away from her past. That's until she meets the billionaire bachelor, Andrew Martinez, a man well-known as a successful CEO of his empire in the entire states and the world. Somehow their twisted relationship starts working, but then when Laura starts facing his dark hidden secrets little by little, her life changes. Andrew, who is running from his own past and secrets, finds himself at the torment of life and regretting what he's done in the past more than ever. His fear has come to him, the fear of losing what you think you deserve. Their twisted and cruel past start haunting them. But is she going to still be with him? Is Andrew the Prince charming she looks for? Can they get along or Laura has to leave with a broken heart... This is a game of emotions, minds, hearts and fate... but little do they know this is the fate that plays with them. They find concepts of themselves they never knew. They face their secrets, challenges. So the question comes down to: What's the price? ---All Rights Reserved---
A Child's View of Inter-Stellar War by jswatt123
8 parts Complete
This first appeared as an epub book for two e publishing platforms. Originally for 99 cents, but currently (at least where it was possible) for free. It is a science fiction story, but also a social commentary - and indeed political in many ways. Propaganda or news? That is an old question, and perhaps not so different on alien worlds. Much more too.

Arranged Marriage to my Mate [Completed but Editing] by soccerluv4
24 parts Complete
[Completed] Taylor Daniels. Average name, average face, average girl. What about her life? Well, that's a bit complicated. Finding out her werewolf heritage was not part of the seemingly normal life Taylor lived. She'd always been the strong but silent type, concentrating on getting good grades and pleasing her mother. But all that changes when she's merely picked up and dropped into the world of werewolves. She'll have to dust herself off and learn to live with the fact that her life was a lie. What's even more deranged is that her life is at risk. And who can possibly help her? Her so called "mate" Leo Knight. A forced marriage between the two is the only thing keeping her safe, but what happens when this little compromise turns into a whirlwind of attraction, hate, jealousy, and possible love? Can Taylor hold on to her only hope of sanity, or be whisked away in the world of werewolves, where her family, herself included, are a bunch of overgrown dogs? Taylor may seem shy on the outside, but dealing with a sarcastic, rude, arrogant mate has her standing up for herself and ultimately, facing her crazy consequences. Despite her situation, the confusing part is the possible attraction she has to Leo. And to think, it all started with two simple words..."I Do." THIS BOOK IS CURRENTLY BEING EDITED! If you are fine with reading it as is, go ahead! But I am currently editing it to remove multiple grammatical errors, as well as improving the story line and filling in some missing gaps that I failed to address the first time writing this. The finished product will be up soon! If you still would like to read this book, go ahead but you have been warned!

Our Conscious Fields; What is living? by EchoLailia
5 parts Ongoing
Slow paced narrative set in a world awakened to panpsychism and innate abilities following the fall and rise of society. A gentle approach to world building with a bit of humor, romanticism, and just enough hints of drama without going into it. When everyone writes about how it could all go wrong or what happens after it does; who wants to read about what happens if it just goes right for once? Still conflict and drama but, the hard work is already done. Now you just get to see a glimpse of what happens in a reality where it all works out. Work in progress - Inspired by Ready Players?; One Chaotic Answer This will be a slower update than Ready Players? but hopefully be more full in edits and depth. Comments and suggestions considered, otherwise please enjoy as this book and story unfolds. Thank you

An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing. If you're interested in the storyline, please don't judge me too harshly based on this book. Better stories are on the way-I'm still learning and improving every day. Enjoy! ✨

OVERRIDE by AmandaFlynn2010

Never EVER arrange a marriage between your daughter and the Dictator's son. I promise if this happens, there will be trouble. Robots. Death. Romance. Discovery of genetic mutations. Rivalries. A heck of a lot of sass. And perhaps a revolution. If something like this happens to you, I can only say there's one thing to do in situations like this...run.
