SYNOPSIS:
Evey is doing something her big sister thinks is insane... moving away from everything that she's known (including her long time boyfriend, steady job and apartment) in order to follow her dreams of opening a Bed and Breakfast, in a place she's never been to. Evey is unshaken and determined to follow her dreams. But when she arrives in the small Northern California town, she's unhappily surprised to see that there's a contender for the foreclosed property she's been planning to buy. An angry nephew of the previous owner. He's determined to keep the historical property with its "magical" watermelon garden patch in the family. Two stubborn hard-heads face off but maybe more than just watermelons are able to bloom in Watermelon Cove. Maybe two people can learn to put aside their differences and merge their dreams together.

Discovering You (You Series, Book 2)
Finding Happiness Spinoff - Jordan (Cole's best friend) My past haunts me. I don't do relationships because of it. I hook up, one night no feelings. Feelings make things difficult and I do not like complications. The moment I saw her I knew she was going to ruin me. Break every wall I've build around my heart. It started to happen just by the first glance. My Mom always told me I'll have to grow the hell up sometime, I guess this is growing up. I never wanted anyone more than I wanted her, when one night turned into two nights, then all the sudden we woke up tangled together I knew I was a goner. I needed her, I needed everything about her. Proving I was good enough for her was the only thing I was worried about. I have Daddy issues. Mine wasn't around much, I mean like he's around just didn't give a crap about my brother or me. I'm not close to my Mother either so I guess I have Mommy issues too. I'm just a big blob of issues, I don't do commitments because of this. I've worked my ass off in school to be where I'm at now, and I don't need a man to mess any of that up. I'm not a slut, I just know what I want, and a relationship is not that. Then I had one night with him, that one night changed my entire life, it quickly moved into two nights then we were basically together all the time. I walked away from the best thing that has ever happened to me. Maybe I'll find my way back when I'm not so scared to ruin his life. This story has a lot more bedroom scenes than the others just beware before hand! There is loss, and PTSD, and may have some triggers so here is your warning. Hope you enjoy! Huge shout out and thank you to SamanthaSapphire and DaisySalgadoPham for help with naming this one!! 💖Complete

Unite (sequel to Team) Big Four + reader + Hazelia, my fictional twin
Jack, Hazelia, Merida, Rapunzel and Hiccup thought their lives were over, like, for real, but their hopes of seeing each other never faded. Princess Y/N Hearts prayed hard everyday for her friends to come back to the fantasy realm... and when her hope was about to be washed away, a miracle thing happened! She discovered that her friends can come back. But that is... for another thirteen years. So she has to wait, but can she, like, quicken up the time so they can be back earlier? That's for you to know. While the remaining five were leading their lives as normal teenagers. Go to school, eat, sleep... all that boring stuff. They tried hoping for them to be magically transported back to the Fantasy Realm, but of course, it's a fail. (Though Jack discovered that Mr. Tom was not what he said he was). Then all of a sudden, the five each received a letter that told them they're invited to enroll in the Boarding School of Mollyland. And weird thing is... how did the school knew them? But since curiosity got the better of them, they went to the school. Sounds suspicious to me if some school randomly invited me but well, we're talking about five legendary teens here. They walked around the school WITHOUT recognizing each other. But then after a few weeks there, they finally get to see each other again. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a problem with Merida and Rapunzel and only by going to the Fantasy Realm will help the two girls. So, they planned to get back to the place where they all belong. And finally, with Y/N's much needed help, the five get to contact her. But things were also getting pretty... stressful in the Fantasy Realm. But most of all could they reunite and solve Merida's and Rapunzel's problems? And also solve the HUGE problem in the Fantasy Realm? Only one way to find out... ______________ Comments (or was it praise?) for Team, the first book: " This is sooo good! I love it!" ~ @CR_Moon " OMG! THIS WAS AMAZING" ~ @LividEnderComplete

It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE! With a bestselling book by WWBG, a captivating Webcomic on Webtoon, and a film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios, you can read, scroll, or watch - there's an experience for everyone to dive into Waverly and Blake's journey. ***** In order to fit in during her summer visit to a beachside town, Waverly must take swimming lessons from Blake, the moody (but gorgeous) lifeguard next door. ***** Seventeen-year-old Waverly Lyons is from Alaska. She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her.

Shrek: Once Upon A True Love's Kiss [Book 1]
We all have those weird dreams where we fight dragons, dream of a 'happily ever after'...or in my cousin Alice's case; make friends with a unicorn that literally poops edible rainbow candy. Alice and I, along with our friend Zero, help my aunt and uncle clear out their basement during spring break while they went away for their wedding anniversary. It all started when I ever so gracefully (but accidentally) tripped over a cupboard box (which in my defence, I never knew was there) with the words: 'Fragile - DO NOT TOUCH', written in black marker all over the box. While Alice and I were arguing, Zero tried to grab our attention. When he finally did, we were surprised to see him being sucked into a freakin' green swirling portal! Turns out, inside the box I tripped over had a crystal ball rolled out of it, and glowed a bright green. That was when we realised that that crystal ball, was the reason why a portal appeared and was trying to pull us in. And of course...I got separated from them, didn't I? Would you believe me if I told you we entered the world of our favourite movie when we were kids? You know...the Dreamworks movie, Shrek? The one with the fairy tale and Disney characters in? Yep, that's the one! Oh, sorry! I almost forgot to introduce myself: My name's Willow, and this is the story of our journey in the world of Shrek - creating bonds with Shrek himself, Fiona, Donkey and the gang...heck, even Dragon, too!
