The famous singer/songwriter, Elena Matthews, is forced to take a one year leave from her career when her sister's previous school shuts down. Her sister decides she wants to enrol in a public school, something she has never done before, to know what it's like to be a normal high school student. What she doesn't know is that Elena has spent the last two years of her life hiding her worst fear from her family. She has secrets no one knows about, secrets she's been hiding to keep those around her safe. However, what Elena least expects is for her two worlds to collide all because of two boys she meets at school. * * * Elena headed towards the door. She was about to turn the doorknob when his next words froze her in place. "How do you think you'll sister will react if she finds out what you do?" asked Lucas. She slowly turned to face the two with a raised brow, "Meaning?" "Think about it," urged Cole, "How do you think everyone would react if they found out what you do during your spare time, especially your sister." She narrowed her eyes ."Are you blackmailing me?" she asked crossing her arms and raising her chin. "No, I never said that." Cole held up his hands yet grinning mischievously. "We're just saying that it would be in your best interest, along with ours if you joined us." shrugged Lucas. "You can't prove anything," she bluffed. A devious smile speared across Cole's face while Lucas grinned wickedly, "Oh, we both know you don't believe that." ------------------- The events and places are completely fictional along with the characters.

The Billionaire's Bet by famouswriter33

Evanly craves love, affection, satisfaction, and sex, all neglected in her loveless marriage. But a ray of hope appears when she encounters a wealthy young man seeking only friendship. Drawn inexplicably closer to him, she wonders if her feelings stem from lust or genuine love. Will she surrender to her desires? Can she lower her defenses and allow him into her heart? Meanwhile, Devon is shattered after his fiancée abruptly ends their relationship at their anniversary party. Vowing never to love again, he reluctantly agrees to a bet suggested by his brother, Danzel: make a woman fall for him within a year and win $800,000. Yet, when he meets his temporary girlfriend, his emotions are unexpectedly stirred. Was it love at first sight, or is there a hidden agenda? As Evanly navigates the complexities of her marriage and her growing attraction, and Devon grapples with his bet and newfound feelings, their lives intertwine in unexpected ways. Will Devon manage to keep up with the terms of the bet? What will become of Evanly's marriage if she lets her guard down? Can she resist her desires and remain faithful, or will love lead her astray? _____ -Except- "Because I love you!", My voice was raw now, almost desperate. "Because I don't know how to exist in a world where you're not mine." She inhaled shakily, crossing her arms as if trying to shield herself from the weight of my words. "That's not love, Devon. 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.

Luminous: Book One [Paperback Sample] by jeidafei

Here are sample chapters for the paperback version of Luminous: Book One, which will be released on Amazon (via Kindle Direct Publishing) around early October 2024. By purchasing this print version, you will get: - Chapters 0 - 64 of Luminous (Prologue - End of Jaise arc) - Better prose, a few new scenes and dialogue! - Minor plot tweaks, and plot holes filled (all of them, hopefully!) - Two new, never-before-seen illustrations! - A new map of Latakia! (created with Inkarnate) Please note: This paperback version is created by me, me and le me. It has NOT been professionally edited, proofread nor formatted. I am NOT a native English speaker. I do NOT have a degree in Literature nor English. This is my debut novel. I have published NOThing prior to this. This is my life work, my first and possibly my last. I want to give it the best chance of success I can. However, I'm your average corporate grunt who doesn't have 10-grand to spare on a professional illustrator, editor, proofreader, etc. for a vanity indie project. What I do have, nevertheless, is love and effort, with which I have painstakingly fulfilled those roles myself to the best of my ability. This is just for me, and all of you who have been waiting to hold Luminous in your hands in corporeal form. If this book finds success, I may consider releasing a professional version someday. For now, let's just wait and see what the future holds. I'm being 100% honest here, because the last thing I want is for you to part with your (or your parents') hard-earned gold and be disappointed. That would be the most painful thing for me. What you see here is the quality you will get. Please have a look before making your decision! Thank you so much for the past four years of love and support!

Love, Taylor | TS by ireallylikekiwis

Dear Rory, I'm sorry about what I said. I'm leaving for LA in two days. Can we talk before then, please? We can just drive around as usual. I don't know how to do this if you're upset with me. Call me please. I'm staying at my parents' house. Love, Taylor *** Aurora Taylor has been living her best life for the past ten years or so. She works for Odyssey, a travel magazine based in New York City, New York, where she gets to go on dozens of trips a year to the most beautiful corners on earth to write articles about her journey. When she's not travelling, she also dabbles in fiction writing, a little secret passion of hers only few people know about. When the pressure of her two jobs gets a little too hard to manage, she decided to take a week off in a beautiful town at the beach in Northern Italy. A week full of unadulterated fun and relaxation, with unlimited glasses of chilled Prosecco and gelato cones. Or, so she thought. Her plans are completely ruined when she runs into someone she never thought she would ever see again. Not in person at least. A ghost from her past. Taylor Swift. Thirteen years and the universe decides to throw them together in a random town in Italy. Taylor does not believe that it is a coincidence. Aurora is a little reluctant to believe it. But thirteen years is a hard number for Taylor to ignore and she is adamant on making things right with the writer who finds it hard to forgive and forget all that was said and done thirteen years ago. *** This story is entirely my work of fiction. All characters and fictional places are from my own imagination except for real celebrities. The timeline is not necessarily a hundred percent accurate to Taylor's for the sake of the story and for it to make sense. I hope you enjoy it!

That's Amore by Teeshafaris

In Tuscany, the air tastes of vino rosso and roses, and every evening feels like the beginning of a song. Isabella Marshall arrives at Villa delle Rosa expecting only a summer escape - a season of journals, quiet mornings, and the distant hum of village life. But under lantern-lit skies and firefly nights, she collides with Giuliano Moretti: stubborn, magnetic, and rooted to the vineyard like its oldest vines. What begins with clashes and stolen glances soon unfolds into Vespa rides through cypress-lined roads, laughter echoing in moonlit courtyards, and a kiss that feels like destiny whispered sempre. Yet beneath the beauty lies rivalry, family secrets, and the tug of America waiting across the sea. From feasts in the vineyard to festivals blazing with fireworks, Isabella must choose between the life she left behind and the dolce vita that has captured her soul. With roses blooming, Biscotto the golden retriever racing at her side, and love rising like lanterns into the Tuscan sky, That's Amore is a sun-drenched ode to passion, family, and the summer that changes everything.

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. 𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ➃ 𝕠𝕗 ➃ - ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.
