Call Me Ghost ✔️ by sarbearblack

Emerson Rose is many things. She's a faithful girlfriend to her possessive boyfriend, Brody. She's an obedient daughter to her considerably controlling mother. She's a reluctant finance major in her second year of college. She's a determined wanna-be writer in her free time. And she's a loving dog mom to her eleven year old German Shepard. What she is not, however, is bold or impulsive. So when she is somehow able to stop an alley fight in the dark of night and save a handsome stranger from a gruesome beating, it's not exactly a normal occurrence. Emerson expects this to be an isolated incident. She doesn't plan on ever seeing this stranger again and she's even able to forget the whole thing ever happened. But fate seems to be pushing the two together and Emerson finds herself intrigued by this guy. His cavalier attitude, his flirtatious banter, his admittedly attractive face. Somehow, a new friendship is sparked, despite the two being so drastically different. Their friendship is innocent enough. Or so she thinks. What happens when the line between friendship and relationship starts to blur? Emerson's life is dramatically changing, all because of this guy. This charming, arrogant, funny, seemingly perfect stranger. You can call him Ghost. . . . . TW; mental and physical abuse Word Count; 130,000-140,000 Started; Feb. 23, 2021 Finished; Feb. 7, 2022

When she returns back home after eight years of living in another city, Asher is ready to take their lifelong friendship to another level. Of course, life has rarely worked in his favour. Between the letters his birth parents keep sending him, a run-in with an old enemy that's out for his blood, and his responsibility to protect his adoptive parents from his fucked up birth family, he would only be putting the woman he loves in danger. He may make his living as a fighter but this is one fight he's destined to lose. Right? Aria Hunter has gotten pretty good at faking it until you make it.

There's a constant magnetic pull between them and Aria feels their intense chemistry with every touch and look Asher steals from her.

Despite problems of his own, he becomes the most likely to be able to save her. And she was the last anyone expected to actually want to save him. But she did. She wanted him. He wanted her. But fate didn't want them together. Now, they must navigate an overprotective best friend, a homicidal father, a psychotic brother, and a hilariously crazy grandma. But, will Rei ever get her happy ending? - - - "Boxer Boy, you don't really have a choice in the matter, you either help me or I squeal about your very illegal activities," I obviously wasn't gonna tell but he didn't know that so I silently prayed he wouldn't call my bluff. He leaned down so he was eye level with me, he smelt like apples too. "Why do you wanna learn how to fight tigru?" I tried my hardest not to let my gaze flicker down to his bare chest, but it was right there and very distracting. He cleared his throat making me shoot my gaze back to him as I hoped my voice didn't come out shaky, "that's my business, just like the reason you fight is yours." His jaw sharpened as he straightened and seemed to contemplate what his next move would be. I took the time to declutter my thoughts and focus on what I needed from him; fighting lessons, the opportunity to save myself one final time. - - - "I love the book overall. It kept me on the edge of my seat and it was full of emotion! I can't wait for the sequel to come out! This book had something for everyone and anyone; if you enjoy reading, you'll enjoy this book!" - Mackenzie "I read a lot and this is one of the best books I've read. If you are this young writing this good I cannot wait to follow your career." - danielchristinatin
