Emma Collins has a talent for disaster.
Fresh out of college and drowning in the chaos of starting over in a new city, she's mastered the art of spectacular public humiliation. So when she literally falls flat on her face in a crowded coffee shop, it's just another Monday morning in her perfectly imperfect life.
Kieran Blake doesn't do relationships.
The brooding artist teaches kids by day and paints his demons away by night, keeping everyone at arm's length with his sarcastic wit and carefully constructed walls. He's got his reasons-good ones-for staying unattached.
But sometimes the best things happen when you're not looking.
One cracked phone screen. One small act of kindness. One coffee shop encounter that changes everything.
As Emma navigates her demanding new job and tries to prove she belongs in the big city, Kieran finds himself breaking all his own rules. But when Emma's past threatens to drag her back to the small-town life she escaped, and Kieran's secrets surface in ways that could destroy them both, they'll have to decide if love is worth the risk of falling-literally and figuratively.
Because sometimes the most beautiful art comes from the messiest canvases.

Two completely separate lives join together. A boy, Aiden Anderson, who wanted nothing more than to party and have sex. He has one more year of college left, and still has no idea what he wants to do for the rest of his life. A girl, Snow, was a trained agent at best. Nothing seemed to come between Snow and her job. Growing up with her friends, she's learned the true way to master the art of what she does. But that also made her someone who lost their childhood and happiness throughout the years. Once when this boy becomes her assignment to protect, things take a turn for the worst. Confusing tests and feelings go throughout their times together trying to survive. How would it end with the boy in terrible danger, and the girl losing the last vein of her humanity? *This is a VERY slow burn for the people who are here for romance Started: August 15 Ended: December 3 _____________Lengkap
Our Story
Willow Maplewood has never been good at this whole "crush" thing. At thirteen, she's perfected the art of avoiding eye contact, overthinking every social interaction, and panicking whenever someone might be flirting with her. But when her best friend drags her to the school's Art Club, Willow's cautious world gets... complicated. Moon Nightstaff - fourteen, easygoing, hopelessly clumsy - is impossible not to notice. He's friendly, confident in front of crowds, and completely unaware that every time he smiles, Willow forgets how to speak. To make things worse? Ruby Lovelace is always nearby. Snotty, bold, and an expert flirt, Ruby isn't just Moon's friend - she actually likes him. And unlike Willow, Ruby knows exactly what she's doing. Between Diamond Aqua's relentless teasing, spilled paint, awkward silences, and an endless loop of blushing disasters, Willow's about to learn that navigating crushes might be as messy - and colorful - as art class itself.Lengkap
The Little Matchmaker
Lauren never meant to draw attention in her new job. As a single mother, all she wanted was stability - a steady paycheck, quiet mornings, and a safe world for her little girl, Evie. Her new boss, Alexander Reid, is a 37-year-old CEO known for his precision and cold professionalism. His office is a place of glass walls, muted colors, and strict order. To him, emotion is a distraction - until a small crayon drawing appears on his desk one Monday morning. A messy little picture of "Mommy at Work," complete with sparkles and a smiling stick figure version of himself. At first, he's mildly annoyed - but when Lauren rushes in, embarrassed and apologizing for her daughter's "accident," something softens. He sees in her eyes the exhaustion, the grace, and the quiet strength of someone doing everything alone. Over time, the little drawings keep coming. Sometimes they're tucked into his planner. Sometimes Evie shyly waves at him when Lauren picks her up after work. Against all his instincts, Alexander finds himself smiling more, staying late not for business - but for the company. As Lauren's confidence grows and Alexander's walls start to crumble, the office becomes something warmer, livelier... more like home. But when whispers start spreading in the company and Lauren fears losing her job, the two must decide: protect their growing feelings, or risk it all for a chance at something real - a family neither of them expected.![Pucking Charades (UNI Lions #7) [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/387827390-256-k237616.jpg)

Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Lengkap

But that doesn't mean she's safe. 21 year old Alina Anthony thinks New York City is safe for her-well, safe enough to not be found. Hidden in plain sight, she goes to school during most of the year, but works at a florist shop for the summer. But the switchblade she always keeps on her is a reminder of what she and those searching for her are capable of. So she has her one rule: don't get too close to anyone, no matter how bad she wants to. But when Daemon Kade sneaks into her life without an explanation to who he is, the two opposites can't help but attract, even if she hates his bossy demeanour and how attached he is to his gun. She knows he's dangerous, and he is definitely hiding things from her, but she can't help but fall deeper with the guy with a cold heart and even colder eyes. But when his secret comes out, all that's left is betrayal and heartache. t r o p e s : grumpy/sunshine, frenemies-to-lovers, banter, secret identity, mafia fiction, smut, no strings attachedLengkap
