She should've said no.
Amelia Sterling has always played by the rules, it's the only way she knows how to survive in a world like hers. That is until William Blackwood, the boy she can't quite bring herself to like, let alone trust, makes her an offer she can't refuse.
A deal. A fake relationship. A public performance for a world that watches every move.
But keeping up appearances is harder than it looks. Between family expectations, high-society whispers, and the girl William seems determined to win back, Amelia finds herself caught in jealousy, pretense, and the sting of her own growing feelings.
The deal was only supposed to fool everyone else. Not her as well.

Fake Dates and Other Mistakes
Elysa Degras' junior year of high school has been off to a rocky start. Soccer practices have been kicking her butt, her advanced math class has really been kicking her butt, and her history teacher just blackmailed her into joining the school's (ultra nerdy) Quiz Bowl team. And if that wasn't bad enough, her recent budding attraction to her best friend has also been complicating her life. Especially since she went and lied about it, blurting some preposterous nonsense about having a secret boyfriend to try and explain all her recent weird behavior. In an attempt to salvage the situation and save her friendship, she decides to enlist the help of one of her brother's friends to pose as her new boyfriend, but there's something more than a little suspicious about Luke Haywood, and it's not just his unnerving ability to make their relationship seem a little too real. She's almost positive he's hiding something, and with everything else spiraling dangerously out of control, she can't afford to leave his secret alone.Concluída
Until We Burn (The Promise We Never Chose)
"We were once inseparable-childhood best friends who swore we'd never let go. But high school happened. Secrets, heartbreak, distance. Now, years later in university, fate throws us back together with a cruel twist-our parents signed a marriage contract binding us for life. We hate it. We fight it. We deny it. But every heated argument leaves us breathless. Every stolen glance burns hotter than the last. And every kiss we swore would never happen... happens again and again. What if the promise we never chose becomes the one thing we can't live without?" Amelia Carter (Lia) - witty, stubborn, independent, hides her vulnerability. Ethan Montgomery - charming, sarcastic, secretly protective, heir to a powerful family. Sophie Bennett - Amelia's wild uni flatmate & bestie. Oliver "Ollie" James - Ethan's cheeky best mate. Victoria Montgomery - Ethan's cold, controlling mother. Richard Carter - Amelia's kind but traditional father.Concluída
A Stranger To Him
This book needs editing, the first chapters aren't very good, but the story gets better as you read on! There was only one thing that Amelia White needed to do. Be invisible and never draw the attention of five boys. She has been avoiding them ever since she knew who they were, and she's not planning to be part of the game those boys play. At least, that was the plan until her feet changed it for her. Bumping into Caine Williams is not exactly the way you stay unnoticeable for those boys. She detests an emotionless, narcissistic, and selfish asshole. He's the most attractive boy she's ever seen, but he has a terrible personality. Everything just seems like a joke to him. Hopefully, this journey of heated conversations and stupid fights turns out to be positive, and there's no need for any more hearts to shatter. Nevertheless, bad boys are unpredictable and dangerous, and there will be no insurance for broken hearts and unfixable relationships. But there's no need for insurance if the hate Amelia feels towards him is stronger than the tiny piece of possible love she feels in her heart, right? Caine will definitely regret opening the chase on her when he finds out it's not worth it. At least, that was what Amelia thought. Bumping into Caine Williams was certainly not the plan. That's the only thing that's for sure. Amelia knows that she can say goodbye to the plan of staying invisible, thanks to her clumsiness, and she'll have to say hello to his world with trouble and problems. You didn't think he would let her be, now would you? ©JosephineFlorence, All rights reservedConcluída
Faking It and Falling For It
Sabrina Callahan has it all figured out. She knows exactly what she wants and nothing can stop her from getting it. Or that's what she wants people to believe. A quiet senior year, straight As, and a record that will get her far away from her small town Hart, and the people in it. Especially one cocky, insufferable basketball star who gets under her skin more than she'd ever like to admit. Only there's one secret, the walls are crumbling. Warren Halstead just wants to go pro. He's got a full ride and a stacked highlight reel. But his father won't stop reminding him what he's "supposed" to be: the future CEO of the Halstead empire. The problem? Warren wants nothing to do with that. So when Warren asks Sabrina to fake date him to get his dad off his back, she should say no. Because they can't stand each other. Because it's only supposed to be pretend. Sworn enemies. A fake relationship. And one very real, legitimate problem: They might be falling in love.

Crowded Silence
Actions speak louder than words! Yet here we are where sometimes just mere words can do wonders. This is the story of a girl who always found herself surrounded by many, yet the silence was her only 'true' companion. Though she embraced her silence, she knows more than that to how hard it actually is. And thus, she always makes sure that 'her companion' never visits someone else just so that it can have another person to keep itself embraced. Of course there are people in her life who care about her, but as it is said, a better half always understands you and your decisions better than anyone else. For that; "why should I even try to find it if it's true and is truly meant for me? Won't it come to me at the right time?" is what she says. Let's see what life throws at her and how she tackles it with what it has already taught her. Read, comment, vote and share. Thank you!
