For Kelly Adams, life has become unbelievably hectic. Her daughter is having a hard time transitioning to high school, her son is becoming more of a handful day after day, and all she wants is to be able to sleep past five AM for one day and to maybe, just maybe, go out on a date with a guy who isn't a complete jerk. But it seems to her that all the decent guys are already taken and the only way she'll get a night out is if she sneaks off when the kids aren't looking.

The very last thing Tony Marino wants is to jump into a relationship of any sorts. A single dad, his energies are focused on his kids and work, with very little left over for anything else. And besides, he has no idea where to even meet a nice woman if he had the energy to think about dating again. 

But when he meets Kelly at Back to School Night, there's something about her that won't let go of him. There's something familiar about her as well, and when he realizes what that something is, he can't help but wonder if maybe fate has something wonderful in store for him and Kelly after all...All Rights Reserved

Yeah I was in Juvie. Get over it. by moonlightariaturner

Carmen is screwed up. She's been in and out of juvie all her life and seriously there's no place she'd rather be. Until she gets released from juvie unexpectedly, given a probation officer, and forced to live with a normal family and go to a normal school. Carmen doesn't even know the definition of normal. Much less family, or school. Separated from the only system she's known and has stayed constant all her life, she finds it hard to adjust to the world outside the concrete building. The structure and rules aren't the same. In juvie, rules were like opinions, people ignored them. But in the real world, supposedly it wasn't socially acceptable to steal cash, or graffiti the front of the school building. Enter the Harrisons, the family who's taking care of her. The matriarch of the family hates her criminal record. Sammy, the seven-year-old, is too clingy, too innocent, and too naive to understand anything. Then there's Jay, the guy she's forced to share a room with. A self-righteous son of a bitch, Jay doesn't understand Carmen and doesn't understand her self destructive way of thinking. Though he's not bothered by her, he's fascinated with her. The family represents the structure and rules that Carmen doesn't, nor wants to, understand. But as Carmin starts to push back at the structure and rules suddenly rushed into her life, it starts to change. Her whole way of living is thrown off balance, what she deems normal isn't. And through a series of events, she starts to spiral out of control, and she doesn't know if someone can pull her up from that. Carmen was given a second chance, but is it a good chance, or is it just another recipe for getting thrown right back to square one, like she always is? Because second chances don't usually get handed out. And she's about to learn what it means to get a second chance. ____

What's That Supposed To Mean? - Werewolf Romance by IsaBellsAreRinging

Samantha Riley has been a tomboy ever since she could walk and her parents divorced when she was almost one year old. Twelve years later, she wants to go visit her mother in New York but the visit becomes five years. Samantha, now seventeen and certainly not a tomboy anymore, is ready to go back to Ohio, to her family and friends, but mostly to her father. No one expects her, though, to come back looking like a a new person. But looking like a goddess does not change the fact that she is still mateless and also next in line for the Alpha position, a huge responsibility. Noah Black has lived in Ohio for as long as he can remember, with his six brothers and father. His mother died giving birth to her youngest son, Thresh. Noah has always been the one to pull pranks and tease Samantha, making her life miserable as they grew up together. When she left, there was no one else to annoy, but now, five years later, when Noah hears that she is coming back, he thinks that she is still that same tomboy who can't stand up for herself. He has become even more of a badboy now, loving all the trouble and the girls that throw themselves at him. And yes, he is mateless and, just because his older brother passed it down, is next in line for the Alpha position. So what happens when they meet again, five years later, more grown and more mature? Is there hatred between them, still? And what happens when they both realize they are connected in ways they never could've dreamed of? Suck at summaries, give it a chance, y'all! :)

Selfish Desires by EvieKynd

It was an impossible choice between a man chosen for her or a handsome stranger's solution - a temporary contractual marriage. Her choice left her facing devastating results, but will a second chance deliver her the man and the life of her dreams or crush her spirits for good? Jameson Wilder Hunter was handsome, powerful, elite, and utterly exhausted with life. He had everything he could want and yet it still wasn't enough. Until he met Lacey, whose sincerity beckoned him like a light through the darkness. Only she disappeared and took his heart with her. He wants her back, he wants to punish her. But will he still feel that way once he has her secured by his side again, or will she draw him back in just like she had the first time he laid eyes on her? Kia Ora, I plan to post the full story by the New Year (2024) and keep it available until March 2024 at which time I'll leave a sample and make available on Amazon. I'll update here if plans change. Thanks
