HIS TEMPTATION by hyunlixty__

𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 / academic rivals 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 Georgia Ivy Findlay is the girl who seems to have it all together-smart, kind, and effortlessly cool. But beneath that calm exterior, she's got a secret life as an assassin, forced to grow up way too fast after losing her parents. She's been fending for herself and her sisters ever since, balancing school with the kind of work that would give most people nightmares. Georgia's got friends and can vibe with pretty much anyone... except Enzo Romano. Enzo is the definition of trouble-rich, popular, and with a bad attitude to match. As the heir to his dad's mafia empire, he's got a chip on his shoulder and no time for niceties. In school, he's the guy everyone either fears or admires, but to Georgia, he's just a pain in the ass. They're both at the top of their class, and the rivalry between them is intense-fueled by snide remarks, icy glares, and a shared hatred that's as undeniable as it is electric. But what happens when the lines between hate and something else start to blur? When one of them begins to feel something deeper, something dangerous, that could change everything? ______________________________________ A/N: This book is going to be focusing on multiple povs like more people than the 2 Main characters just wanted to put that out there also this is the first book I have ever written so if it's cringe I apologize I also appreciate corrections in the comments (Pictures in the book are not mine )

"Let me tell you something, William." I say as I watch his tall figure lean over me, with my body pressed into the wall. "And whats that, princess?" He questions.

When her father hires a bodyguard to watch after her, she falls for him. They both discover a connection that they hadn't anticipated. When her father announces that she will be in an arranged marriage, she feels more trapped than ever. With her fiancé being abusive, she's determined to find a way out.

But I swear it's actually sooo good and I'm super proud of it.* THIS IS A FAST PACED BOOK BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS

His Baby by AlexandriaRoseWalker

A/N - There are many spelling and grammar mistakes - I apologise, also this was written when I was a teen so this story is so beyond reality. Thanks.

After a tragic life in England they up and move to sunny California where she meets the bad boy at a party when a guy tried to force himself on her he saves her, keeping her safe in a room they play games all night then things get heated. Rose unknowingly meets the family of the guy she slept with. Rose is in for one hell of an adventure and also gets more than she bargained for in the end. Comments - "I have to say this is a sweet romance that brings the wonders of being a new mom (dad) in to it, Its a romance that id read again (I've already read it a couple of times XD) I love how she (rose) is not like everyone else I've read. Its refreshing, I mean she's strong, hard-headed (at times) And witty. Its funny reading about how she boss's everyone around (in a good way of course) the Adventures. The tell of a girl turning in to the women she is to day. Its breath taking, I'm gonna stop now before I say to much, But its a good book that can make you laugh just as fast as it can make you cry.... Ok for real I'm stopping (lol) But its a wonderful read" - arrow1616 #5 in Teen Fiction out of 243k Stories - 03 Oct 2020 #3 in Teen Fiction out of 254k Stories - 25 Apr 2022 © This book is of my own creation and I reserve all rights to it.

Secrets, Darkness, and...Stalker by Mystery_Writer_28

"What are you thinking about?" Enzo says stepping over to sit next to me. "Huh" I remark and glance at him. "When you're thinking about something, you scrunch your nose up and tighten your brows. But you're also biting your lips, so it must be something serious, or are you nervous?" He says, and I just stare at him, shocked. "Am I that easy to read?" I inquire, and he laughs. "Not when you're on your period or when you're hungry. Can't tell whether you like me or want to kill me." He says and I laugh and hit his shoulder. "Am I that bad?" I say "Uh, yeah. I feel like if I don't have a sandwich made in 15 seconds when your moody, I'll be in deep shit." He says. "Stop, you're making it seem like I'm some bad person," I say this and shove him away from me; he chuckles. He takes my hips and places me on his lap, forcing me to straddle him while I wrap my hands around his neck and look up at him.
