Stuck In An All Boys Camp
I, Skylar was accidentally sent to a Hot Boys Camp I mean ALL BOYS CAMP . At first I hated it but then I met the boys in my Cabin. They were the sexiest and attractive people I've ever met. Which made me wanna stay longer..... Oh if I had signal on my phone which I don't because this camp is in the middle of friggin no where I'd probably tweet about this. Anyways I started to grow really close to one of my cabin mates Caden. He's very flirty,hot,cute......and has a great personality (sometimes). He's the best thing that has ever happened to me in a long time. I am well boy crazy for him. It may sound like I'm obsessed with him but I'm not. I swear. I've never liked anyone this much in my life. So I plan to be the nicest/cutest girl to him. The other boys tell me that "Caden is hard to get" and hasn't dated anyone in a while. But I definitely think that will change this summer. **All rights reserved ®DeanaForever™** |READ STUCK IN AN ALL BOYS CAMP | ***OFFICIAL*** | Skylars summer is about to be filled with joy,happiness,sadness,madness,romance,craziness and more!Complete

Calliope is struggling with her life after the military. But with the help of her cousin Angel Lopez and her new girlfriend she will be just fine. Or will the PTSD get the best of her?

Falling For Lucy [Tim Bradford POV]
She's my rookie. I can't have feelings for her. That's what I keep telling myself. But every day I ride with Lucy Chen is another day I fall for her. She's my ride or die. She always has my back. And I will never let anything happen to her. I'd die for her. But she can't know how I feel, nobody can. Falling For Lucy is my thesis on how and why Tim Bradford has been falling for Lucy Chen since the very beginning of the show. I, personally, believe the show writers did not do this on purpose, and the story has written itself. This is my detailed account of Tim Bradford's POV throughout The Rookie with some creative liberties taken to fill in the blanks. This is a super slow burn, just like the show. This book will always be 100% canon to the show. And yes, I am watching the show five seconds at a time giving you every detail of every second of Tim Bradford's experience. This is The Rookie: Tim's POV. So if that sounds interesting to you, you will enjoy this book. Also! Check out Lusting For Lucy for more mature bonus chapters, one-shots, and alternate timelines. I have the entirety of Dim & Juicy written over there, and it seems to be a fan favorite with an additional steamy alt ending. Enjoy! Written 12/2025 Current Rookie Episode: Season 9 coming soon, Airing on Hulu Current written Episode: Season 3 Episode 10 (Epi 50) Current Status: Season 3 is in progress. Follow me to stay up to date! Please be patient with me, I am still committed to this story, but like I have a regular life, a demanding dog, and a full time job too. _______________________ Check out my Spotify playlist that is paired with this book.

Unwritten Protocol
Lucy Chen thought she had it all figured out. The road to detective, a new rank, a clean slate. What she didn't plan for was being thrown back into the same rotation as Timothy Bradford. Tim. Her ex. Her once-training officer. And, unfortunately, her biggest distraction. Freshly broken up and still feeling the sting, Lucy was determined to keep things professional.. until the day Sergeant Grey promoted her to temporary training officer. Now she's on equal ground with Tim... and their rookies just happen to be best friends. The chances of two training officers secretly hooking up? Low. But never zero. Because in the LAPD, secrets don't stay buried for long-not when rookies are watching, blackmail is brewing, and one wrong move could destroy everything they've worked for. "Cops gossip more than middle schoolers," Tim muttered. Lucy smirked. "Then we'd better give them something to talk about." When the line between duty and desire starts to blur again, Lucy has to choose, follow the rules... or break them all for the man she swore she was done with. Guys if you saw this before this edit pls forgive me, I do NOT know who wrote 'uwu' on this and I promise it's not me. Swear, someone else messed it up
You Complete Me (Camren - Norminah - Vercy)
Tattoo completions replace the concept of marriage in this soulmate AU. With Lauren's crescent moon and Lucy's stars, they're confident that they have matching tattoos and are meant to be life partners. But what happens when their completion ceremony doesn't go as expected? After all, the only star bright enough for the moon is the sun. But what if the sun and the moon hated each other? Matching tattoos or not, Camila and Lauren can't fucking stand each other, so how the heck are they supposed to be destined for each other? No one knows what Vero's tattoo is, but she's in love with her best friend's girlfriend. Will Lucy be brave enough to love Vero despite their tattoos? Gender isn't a criterion for love in this society. Well, except for Normani, who's always dreamt of having a fairytale life with her very own prince-charming. Can Dinah prove that love goes beyond a preferred gender? There's another problem though: Dinah's tattoo doesn't seem to match Normani's. With so much happening, can Ally keep the peace and help her squad find everlasting love? Warning: A FLEET of ships ahead: Extreme OT5 with tons of OTP friendships (cuz I miss takeovers and twitcams). Also, watch out for all the random 5H Easter eggs (find 'em all for some major harmonizer pride points). This story takes place in the tattoo AU created by Giny (ChooseYourLife) from the story "Tattoo Mates." (Special thanks to her for letting me use her universe.
