Now that they have crossed paths, their worlds will never be the same.

One day you're happy, and the next, a freak accident exposes your boyfriend's dirty little secrets in the worst possible way. I lost the man I loved, my trust in people, and my home in less than one afternoon. At least I know that I've pushed past unimaginable pain before, and I can do it again. Elijah didn't break me, just my heart. 💔🔨 So, the LAST thing I needed was to run into my ex's best friend, Gray on the street. Who cares if he's hotter than lava? Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel. It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart. I thought Gray hated me, but I was wrong...There is something much, much stronger that binds our fate. 🥊💕 This book contains adult themes (aka sexy stuff and trigger content) as well as Oxford commas and the occasional grammatical error. 🥊💕 **This is a complete story that I am currently in the process of editing, so feedback, notes, and helpful comments are always welcome.

🥇 Highest Rankings: #1 Action #1 Chicklit #1 Mystery #1 Teen Fiction #1 Thriller 2018 Watty's Long List 🥀 Trigger Warning/Sexual Assault ⚠️Mature Sexual Content/Language R 🔞 •The Tattooed Devil Wears Chucks• Gabby Brooks seemed to be a normal 18-year-old girl growing up on the edge of an Iowa lake. She enjoyed being off everyone's radar in the small town of Luxberg. She had a small group of friends, an adoring family, and a love for her town. That was until the Parkers moved in across the street. A new friend with a tattooed god for an older brother changes Gabby's normal little life upside down. She finds herself fascinated by Jackson Parker, especially by his criminal past-which is filed away in sealed records. Not even her father, the town police officer, will spill as to what her new neighbor did to put himself behind bars. Jackson seems to be just as fascinated with Gabby Brooks, the daughter of his probation officer/town cop. His eyes are set on making her the next victim of his playful games, just to piss off her dad. Even with her father's warnings to stay away from the new neighbors, Gabby finds herself breaking the rules for the first time in her life. It brings out the best and the worst of the people she trusts the most, including herself. Secrets she didn't even know she carried are brought to light, shaking the town to its core. What Jackson and Gabby don't realize, is how much their lives will change because they can't seem to stay away from each other. Sometimes change is not always for the best.

Who She Is by Heather_gO

~MALE POV~ Amaya Brooks. She's got to be the prettiest girl ever. She always looks so beautiful. She's always got this bright, carefree smile on her face. I'm crushing on her. Hard. Like, it's bad. She's so out of my league, too. By a long shot. She's the exact opposite of me. Extroverted, rebellious, confident, gorgeous. All things that I'm... not. I always hope I see her in the halls during the bell or outside during lunch. She's never there. When I do see her, she's usually with Jason and his friends. What does she see in him? I already know. He's hot to girls, hell, even guys. He's such a jerk though, at least to everyone who's not as good as him. I hope he treats her good at least. She deserves it. I know she deserves that even if I don't know anything about her. She's such a hard book to read. I want to know her. Learn all about her. And I do. But she has a problem, and I want, no, I need to help her. But is that just who she is? Or who she was forced to become? - *Mature Content* Started: June 2019 Finished: August 10, 2022 Over 200,000 word count. #1 in #teenromance (June 6, 2024) #1 in #hot (February 14, 2023) #2 in #romance (December 18, 2022) #1 in #goodboy (September 13, 2022) #1 in #badchick (November 2, 2021) #1 in #goodguy (December 20, 2021) #1 in #rolesreversed (January 6, 2022) #1 in #obedient (December 1, 2022) #1 in #reversedroles (August 30, 2022) #2 in #badgirl (February 16, 2022) #5 in #delinquent (December 18, 2022) #3 in #innocentboy (November 23, 2022) #1 in #malepov (July 13, 2022) #8 in #darkpast (October 25, 2022) #14 in #love (February 25,2023)

- PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS 'The Scars Of Your Love' - Emmeline Adams is just getting settled into her new life as a college student in Berkeley, California. She has her entire life mapped out on paper and her sights set on a successful career. However, when dropping off her new roommate at a party the day before college begins, she stumbles across a pair of grey eyes that derail her plans before she ever realises it. Aiden Blackwood was known for his bad temper and lack of empathy. However, behind the tall walls he's built to protect himself, he's far more than just an acclaimed villain. He symbolises everything Emma distrusts. She embodies everything Aiden fears. So what happens when this shattered man surrounded by darkness discovers a light at the end of a very long tunnel? --- Hi Everyone! This is my first story so it's a little rough around the edges, definitely not perfect, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

'"Can you spread your legs a little farther for me, baby?" he asks me, his voice a low whisper. I nod, doing exactly as I'm told, and he bites down on his lower lip. "Good girl," he breathes, and those two words alone do the most wicked things to me. His fingers trail even farther north until he reaches the hem of my underwear. His eyes meet mine and I have to let out a shaky breath, holding on tight to him to keep myself stable. "Yes or no?" he asks me quietly, and I nod frantically.' 🌸🌸🌸 Lexi Brooks' love life was suddenly flipped upside down when she was kissed by Bryce Bradshaw the day before he mysteriously moved away. It left her heart in a twist, until her mind was trapped elsewhere when 'The Incident' occurred; quite possibly the hardest thing she'd ever go through. But Bryce always had it easy. He was the heartthrob, the bad boy, the perfect guy. He had the looks, the talent, and the charisma. Though to Lexi's surprise, on the rare occasion she could catch him out of the spotlight, she saw something else there. She could tell that he was a little distant. He could tell that she was a little different. The only crucial detail: He simply left without a word. 🌸🌸🌸 Highest Rankings: #1 in Drama #1 in Heartbreak #1 in YA 🌸🌸🌸 'Something There' Book #1
