With the things going on in her life this man's entry is not welcome but as the days pass she can't help but want him there.

So when he meets Athena on his first day back after a backpacking trip and finally finds a woman who can hold his interest he decides he will do whatever it takes to make her consider giving him a chance. But he didn't realise he was competing with a job that gave her barely any time to sleep and a boyfriend who was never there for her but was not willing to let her go.

When Our Stories Collide
"We were complete opposites. Jackson's life before me consisted of him pushing away anyone who tried to get close, while I wore my heart on my sleeve." ---------------------------- Maggie Carpenter is a waitress at a high-end club in Arizona who loves nothing more than a quiet night cozying up with a good book. One fateful night she ends up serving Jackson Porter, a devastatingly handsome yet brooding British author, celebrating the National Book Awards nomination for his newest novel. It's an instant magnetic attraction for the two of them but there's just one problem, they're polar opposites. Due to his abnormal upbringing, Jackson's life before Maggie consisted of him pushing away anyone who tried to get close, while she was an open book who always wore her heart on her sleeve. He had tattoos, piercings, and cursed like a sailor, yet she was mild-mannered and did everything to please those around her. Both stubborn in their own ways, Maggie needs someone to show her how to live in the moment, yet Jack needs someone to keep him grounded. Jackson lives his life wild and free, while Maggie toils her life away living vicariously through the pages in her books. But the reality is, neither of them were really living until their stories collided. Excerpt- "I know that I've fallen in love with a man who isn't ready to catch me but that's the crazy part about it, isn't it? You don't get to choose who you love or when it happens. There are no warning signs to keep you from getting too close to the edge. It's like a roller coaster, exhilarating and terrifying at the same time." Will she end up convincing him their love is worth the fall or simply be used as a pawn in his latest book?

Riley has been single for over 4 years. By choice. Great family, good friends and happy with her career as a Thoracic Nurse Practitioner. But when her attention caught the most gorgeous mossy green-eyed guy one crazy night in Bournemouth, her peace of mind has been disturbed. Arrogant, grumpy and not over with his ex. Most especially, he's a rugby player. Her ex was a rugby player, so he is the last person on earth she wants to get involved with. But the attraction was way too powerful, too overwhelming. He keeps giving her mixed signals and it's confusing where she stands with him. **** Tom Wiltshire is trying to get back with his ex fiancee that's why he can't afford to have any distraction. If there's anything what rugby taught him, it's about taking control, that's why he is one of the top rugby players in the country. But after one kiss on a crazy night out with friends in Bournemouth, his wisdom was shaken. The attraction was too much to bear no matter how hard he tries to suppress it. Which is a major problem. She's the exact opposite of his ideal. But just one look into her amber almost golden eyes, the 'control' that rugby taught him for years has completely gone out of the window. Until someone makes it even more complicated than it already is. Will there be a future in-store for Riley and Tom? ------ UK based story Word Count: 80,000+ words **** Rank 1 - Friendship 06/03/2023 Rank 2 - Rugby 11/09/2024Terminé
