He had loved her with all his might. The very thought that she could be taken away from him wrecked his mind every night.
And then that nightmare turned into a reality.
She was ripped from his grasp, and the worst part was that she allowed herself to be taken from him.
He loved her with all his might. And that love came to be the justification to permit the destruction of his life.
Until he met Teresa.
~~~
When male model Ash Stymest turns into a runaway celebrity, the last thing he wants is for someone to recognize him. But soon he finds out, it was exactly what he needed.
When Teresa Smith supposedly blows his cover, her world is flipped when he shows up at her door three days later. He needs help. And right now she's the only help he allows himself to have.
Through the ups and downs of their budding friendship, Ash finds himself being drawn to her - a feeling he wanted to avoid with any girl in the first place. Teresa feels the same, being drawn to his cynical nature and self-destructing habits.
The duo find ways to heal and reconcile with past hurts.
But some, especially ones that deal with ex-lovers, just aren't so easy to patch over.

Best Served Fake
"Little Valerie," said Kai, bending closer to me. "Are you blackmailing me into dating you?" He didn't seem particularly disturbed by the notion. In fact, he remained completely amused. "Yes?" Kai grinned. "Very mafia of you. I'm weirdly kind of into it." *** When Valerie Williams discovers that her long-term boyfriend is sleeping with her best friend, she devises a revenge plot to get back at them both. But when she asks bad boy Kai Delaney to pretend to date her, she never thought her heart would be on the line. *** Self-proclaimed pessimist Valerie Williams is definitely your glass-half-empty kind of girl. However, Valerie is surprisingly optimistic when her (ex) boyfriend cheats on her with her (also ex) best friend. Valerie doesn't believe in holding grudges; she believes in getting even. Which doesn't seem easy, until her boyfriend's least favourite person and her best friend's long-standing crush, the sarcastic, cocky and popular bad boy extraordinaire Kai Delaney crashes, quite literally, into her life. When Kai accidentally hits her car with what is practically a monster truck, and can barely afford to cover it, Valerie has an idea. If Kai agrees to pretend to date her, for long enough to make her boyfriend and best friend regret their actions, Valerie will give him the duration of their scam to pull together the money to pay her back. Revenge is a dish best served fake. [150,000-200,000 words]Complete

A cruel smile caught up with me. Somewhere at the back of my head, I couldn’t believe what I had just said, but I refused to let the guilt creep into me. If I called him huge before, I didn’t know what I should be calling him now. His entire six and a half foot frame began expanding animistic-ally. Charging like an angry bull, he reached me in two long strides. His eyes budging in fury. As suddenly as he started, he stopped. “You said what?” “Monster” I whispered back. But unwillingly my eyes dropped on the floor. No he did not scare me, but I could not bring myself to look into his eyes after what I just said to him. Nonetheless, he was a monster. Next thing I know, his large rough hands pulls my waist to his torso. Shocked, I looked at him. My eyes flared at his, my eyebrows raised in aftershocks. I flinched at his touch, but his arm kept me in place. I couldn’t no longer read his eyes. He used his free arm to grip my chin and pull it until my neck stretched back, until I looked directly at him. “Say that again” he repeated. ***########*** Curiosity kills the cat.
