Elaine Johnson was the perfect daughter. Smart, kind, and loving...innocent, shy, and gentle. She was pretty on top of that. She would have been what every parent would want but for one small flaw, as most God-fearing Georgians saw it: she was a lesbian, and made no attempts to hide it. In the small school, the bullies pried through her innocence and tore her to bits, and nobody tried to stop them. Not even her supposed friends.
She found comfort in a cigarette. Then another. Then the beer. The whiskey. The drugs.
Six years later, Elaine was a brand new woman, complete with alcoholism and a criminal record. A chain smoker and a high school dropout, she had taken up photography, and freelanced for parties and illicit photo shoots. Whatever paid for her gas and her cigarettes. And then, one day, an application for a wedding planner, Hannah Brilot, was answered, and she was called in for an interview.
A notorious fixer, being presented with a challenge like Elaine was something that Hannah couldn't turn away. But can a person be fixed so easily?

His Waitress
"Jess, would you please get his order." Lisa winked at me and pointed the guy near the door. She is my one and only bestfriend since kindergarten. "Okay." I wore my waitress apron and put my phone and car keys on the pocket. I dragged myself to the guy's table to get his order. "Good Morning, Sir. Can I take your order?" The guy put the menu down on the table and he's checking me out! Jerk. "I'll just have the waitress in front me. Name your price." He winked at me. "Jerk!" I got the glass of water from the other table and poured it from his head to his pants so that it looked like that he'd pee on it and I stormed out from the restaurant.

Unexpected Love [GXG]
An angel and a rebel. A scholarship girl and a playgirl. When their worlds collide, sparks fly-and nothing will ever be the same. When Enid Jones-straight-A student and the perfect Islamic daughter-earns a scholarship to the prestigious Montrose Academy, she believes her life is finally falling into place. Her plan is simple: keep her head down, ace her classes, secure a scholarship to Yale, work a side job, and one day gain full custody of her younger sister from their abusive father. But trouble has other plans for Enid... and its name is Olivia Grayson. Carefree, rebellious, and notorious for breaking hearts, Olivia is Montrose Academy's golden girl. With her comes the infamous Golden Four, and a whirlwind of chaos Enid wants no part of. At least, that's what she tells herself. Because Olivia isn't just interested in Enid-she's made it her mission to strip away the saintly image everyone sees and uncover the fire hidden beneath. But what if it's Olivia's carefully crafted "bad girl" façade that begins to crumble first... all because of a certain brunette who was never supposed to matter? ๑ "After what you and your stupid friends did to me, isn't it enough? Do you really have to rub it in my face?" I snapped, my voice shaking with fury. Olivia just smirked, stepping closer until her warm minty breath fanned against my lips. My pulse went wild, betraying me. "I'm only just getting started, angel," she whispered in that husky voice of hers. "And I'll stop... the moment I hear you moan my name." ๑ An angel and a rebel. A scholarship girl and a playgirl. Can love survive when it's least expected-or will it destroy them both?
The Next Alpha King (No longer updating 2021)
Grace Faith is nobody. The only person she talks to is her best friend Lily and sometimes even this one guy named Dean. Her brother had mainly derived all the high school's attention on himself and nobody ever pays attention to her. She's a very weak she-wolf and lacks the confidence in everything she does. Ryder Devereux was the complete opposite. He's the typical bad-boy you see in high school and is also the next alpha king. His father sent him off from school to school to find his mate, but Ryder only took that opportunity to get into even more drugs and girl's pants. They were both different but both very similar as well. They both have their own insecurities and they push everybody away. So what would happen when fate puts these two very different wolves together? Would they forget their differences and learn to love each other? Would they speak up and fight through their struggle together? Or would everything fall apart because of Grace's lack of confidence and Ryder's past?Concluida

He struggles to balance his hidden life with his father being a cop. Guns gangs and track seems to be the only things in Marshalls' life and he needs to sort his priorities out.

The clash of Ms perfect and Mr. lazy genius
The world expected her to be perfect. She was the eldest, the responsible one, the overachiever who always had the answers. But beneath the polished grades and the forced smiles was a girl who barely held herself together. A girl with too many expectations crushing her chest, with anger simmering just beneath the surface, with a loneliness that no one ever noticed. Her mother barely acknowledged her existence. Her father, from miles away, drowned her in concern she didn't know how to handle. And in between, she was left to figure everything out on her own. At school, she was untouchable-the top student, the girl who never failed, the one who always had her hand raised first. People admired her, envied her, but none of them really knew her. Not the way she knew them. She had a habit of reading people, of dissecting their words, their actions, their lies. It was easier that way-keeping them at arm's length, never letting anyone too close. And then there was him. The boy who was just as smart, just as untouchable. The one who walked the halls like he owned them, like the world bent to his control. Cold, calculating, always five steps ahead. The boy who hated losing. And so did she. That was the problem. Because when you put fire and ice together, someone was bound to get burned. And she refused to be the one left in ashes.
