His eyes are steely and that makes me realise the fundamental difference between the young Ryan and this Ryan. He's hardened now. The sweet boy I once knew is probably still in there somewhere but life eventually got to him and he had to toughen up. "I need someone I can rely on. I don't want to take a person on who just decides it's too much hassle a few days or weeks in and just . . . Ghosts me." He finishes. There's a definite challenge there. He's not just talking about the job. He's getting a dig in there about the way I disappeared out of his life. As well as implying I'm generally unreliable . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Iona Stewart is pretty sure she's having a premature midlife crisis.

That's obsession." I stepped closer, my hands framing her face gently, forcing her to look at me. "Then let it be obsession. Let it be whatever the fuck it is, but don't you dare tell me you don't feel it too. _____ Join Evanly and Devon as they navigate the thin line between lust and love, desire and loyalty, in a story where passions ignite and hearts are tested.

Where my Heart Lies by ivory_alpaca545

[*COMPLETE*] [*EPILOGUE, EXTRAS AND FILLER CHAPTERS MAYBE ADDED*] [NEEDS MAJOR EDITING AND A TONNE OF FILLER CHAPTERS] "You were burning with fever and I had the silliest idea. You were shivering, face all red, leaning closer and closer against me.. and in the heat of the moment, I did what I shouldn't have I kissed you, I loved you again." He whispered, and all she could do was look in his eyes, search them for the truth. For she knew, she had loved him too. ***** Ryan is haughty, at the almost end of his teenage. He had been a so called perfection throughout his school, and thus it was not strange for many girls to have a thing or two for him. One of them was Jessica, and mind you, he has never been interested. Jessica is 18. A freshmen in university. A complex brain with thoughts way deeper than what kids at her age are expected to have. She has quite a boring life- infested with diseases called #beingintrovert, #sociallyanxiety, and #ilovemycomfortZone. Liam hardly has a free hour at hand with his full packed schedule. But when he does get some time, he can be found flipping through the pages of psychological books in the library. It was at such a place when he gets acquainted with Jessica. Read this story to know how sweet romance mingles in their hearts, friendship blossoms and life gets some more meaning.

It's the start of the school year, and Phoebe Rory finds herself attending her freakishly-rich-school's back-to-school masquerade ball. She expects it to be a terrible time, but instead ends the night dancing with a masked stranger. The night is sealed with a kiss, and Phoebe is left to face the challenges of a new school.

Phoebe's honest commentary, slightly awkward personality, admiration of Mark and suspicion of Ryan Hutchins will leave the reader torn, confused, angry, and of course, as enchanted as a midnight masquerade.

rachel by RMOSHER

I stare at Matt's face as he looks down, concentrating on the game. I can tell he's so angry. He's holding it in his jaw, he's clenching his teeth. He's up in his head and I don't know what's going on up there but I just know it's not good. Even if I get him back out now, I know that he's going to overthink everything later tonight. "Matty, it's ok." I whisper. He immediately looks up and finds my eyes. His blue eyes are bluer than normal. Impossibly blue. Not even a gray blue. But a pure, brilliant blue. "It's not ok, Rach. I fucking hate him." His swear catches me off guard a bit. But my eye contact doesn't waver. "Thank you." "You're welcome." My favorite color immediately changes to blue. --------------- Two childhood friends have spent a lifetime battling demons. Will life ever give them a break? Can Matty and Rachel find an ending that is even remotely happy? --------------- DISCLAIMER: This book contains: Adult language: LOTS of Profanity Mental Health topics (anxiety and depression, PTSD) Adult situations: sex, drugs, alcohol, sexual assault Please be aware that: THIS BOOK COULD BE TRIGGERING.
