Author's note - I've never written a book like this before so please be gentle with it 😭😅🥹
Isabella Grant was a great detective - before she was hit by a bus trying to save a kid.
Now stuck with amnesia, Isabella could only remember one thing. A name.
Esme Smythe.
She didn't know who this was, but according to some files she read, Esme was a young eight year old girl who got snatched up while playing at the park.
Their small town was close-knitted, and Esme's case was the most serious case that town had ever had to face.
Isabella had no idea why she remembered Esme's name, but she was determined to find out.
***~~~***
"Detective Grant?" Isabella looks up at the beady-eyed stranger before her. "Do I know you?" The stranger chuckles, his thin lips curving in a sort of squinty way.
"Well, darn, they must have been serious if you can't even remember lil' ol' me. I'm Sheriff Stanley Constantine. But you always call me Ley-Con. Heaven knows why."
A flicker of recognition sparks in her big doe eyes. "Ley-Con...you always hated that nickname, didn't you?"
He chuckles. "What are you doing here, lass?"
She frowns as she utters the name that makes even Sheriff Constantine shudder...
"I'm here for Esme Smythe."

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way.

It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete

Substitute Wife For The Billionaire.
"Please fuck me," she pleaded, clutching my arm. Her bottom lip was sucked in. Words capable of unleashing beasts within me. I sucked my teeth as I hovered over her, yanking her panties off; no doubt she was dripping wet. I trailed wet kisses down her stomach to her lower abdomen. Rosaline quaked beneath me, her legs shaking just the way I wanted them to. She'd had her turn teasing me. It was my turn now. *** Rosaline Rivera, daughter of a multibillionaire fashion empire, had always been living under the shadow of her perfect sister, Julie, until she died. To make matters worse, her sister's fiancé proposed to her three years after the death of her sister. What happens when Rosa finds out she was just a mere substitute in place of her deceased sister just to save the family's business? Will she be the perfect daughter her parents want her to be and be a submissive wife to Gerald, her late sister's fiancé, who seems not to have gotten over her late sister yet? Out of spite as she decides to make her rules in the marriage, what happens when Rosa finds out the person who had killed her sister in the first place, the person whom she least expected? *** "Fuck, I need to feel you wrapped around me. I need to be inside you, Rosaline." He pulled himself out of my mouth and kissed me. He moved upward until his face was just mere inches away from mine. I moaned at his dirty words, "I need you too. I have...for a while now," I confessed hastily. My entire body felt amazing beneath his touch. It felt like he was the spark I needed to set my whole body on fire.

My Obsession #2
There's this silence between us that stretches longer than it should, and it wraps around my chest like a weighted blanket. My throat tightens. I stare at him like I'm trying to memorise the face of someone who shouldn't exist. A dream made real. My lips part before I can stop myself. "Were you sent by my dad to take care of me?" The question hangs in the air, trembling like the last leaf in autumn. Aiden's gaze softens. His lips tug into the gentlest smile I've ever seen. It's the kind of smile that could mend broken wings. "No" he whispers. "I volunteered." The words hit harder than I expect. Like a punch wrapped in silk. I gasp, air leaves me in a rush I can't reclaim. But before I can fully process what he's just said, he takes a step closer. His fingers ghost over my cheek, brushing away a tear I didn't realise had fallen. And then-he kisses me painfully slow. His hand cups the back of my neck, anchoring me to a moment I never want to end. And just when I think it's over, he pulls away just enough to look at me. His thumb traces the damp trail of tears down my cheek. He doesn't say anything. He just leans in again, and kisses them away. One by one. My tears. My pain. My silence. All kissed away by a boy who didn't come to save me because someone sent him. He came because he chose to.Complete

"Guys, I got another note," I say as I sit down at lunch. Vanessa and Xander were here but Hazel was missing. "Where's Hazel?" I question, eyeing her empty seat. "Out with Adam today, it's Friday," Xander says whilst I munch on my sandwich. "Did you say you got another note?" He asks and I hold my finger up and try to swallow my food as quickly I can so I can speak again. "Yeah, this one says, 'You look so beautiful in blue, I wish I could say this in person,' I really want to know who's playing this prank," I say and my eyes fall to the only prankster in Waterstone Academy, Sebastein.
