When Lucy Falkwell loses control of her house bus on a lonely alpine road in New Zealand, she finds herself in the midst of opera-singer Alessandro Magno's latest music video.  She mistakenly believes she's stumbled upon a horrific crime scene.

Lucy, a free-spirited eco-warrior, is ignorant of the world lying between the pages of those tabloid magazines. She doesn't recognize Alessandro, nor has she seen his smoldering publicity shots advertising the fact he's in town. Instead, she deduces that he's the main detective working the case.

As the two fall into a strange friendship built upon a mistaken identity (all while attempting to rebuild other parts of their lives), the chemistry between them becomes obvious. But how do you learn to trust someone you never really knew in the first place?

"For a place called Paradise City, this island sucks. I don't think a single day has gone by that I haven't thought about stabbing the shit out of myself," he said. "Especially since I'm forced to live with you every second of every day." "Sh. I'm trying to science," I said, not looking up from my binoculars. "See anything interesting?" "Not really.

STAY , Don't Go! (COMPLETED) ✔ by Applediaryxxi

Aesha, a senior college student at Henderson Phoenix University, faced adversity from a tender age, having lost her parents when she was young. Raised by her grandmother, she learned independence early in life. Sadly, her grandmother passed away when she was only ten years old, further shaping her resilient character. Despite her challenges, Aesha excelled academically and found employment in the university's publishing department. Additionally, she worked part-time at Andromeda Bar, a popular establishment in their town, to support herself. Her life took an unexpected turn when she crossed paths with four renowned individuals at her university. These chance encounters unraveled past events and intertwined their destinies in ways they couldn't foresee. Love, to Aesha, was more than just an emotion; it was a conscious decision, a battle against the odds, encompassing both pain and beauty. For her, loving someone meant embracing forgiveness and, sometimes, letting them go. However, when confronted with the prospect of letting Alexander, one of the four men, depart, Aesha found herself grappling with conflicting emotions. "Alexander, please stay. Don't go," she pleaded, torn between holding on and setting him free. All rights reserved.

Finding Kate by lilbecwriter

[COMPLETED] Kate's a serial dater, and she likes it that way. Free food, guaranteed conversation, and best of all--no feelings. After years of hardship, she is perfectly content to roll through her life in mediocrity and fake personas. But when a handsome waiter steps in on a particularly bad date, Kate's imagination runs wild and she follows him home, lured by his intense interest in her. She should have stuck to her rules, she should have run; Kate wasn't the only pretender in the city. Now stuck between curiosity and fear, she will have to decide what's more valuable: uncovering the secrets of her pursuer or her life. Author's Note: "Finding Kate" started out as a short story contest piece for Writer's Digest. After winning recognition by the magazine, and sharing it on my website, it quickly grew in popularity. What was supposed to be used as a fun writing exercise has blossomed into a sexy, fast paced, plot twister of a novella. Be prepared to laugh, gasp, and fall in love as you stay up to date with Kate here on Wattpad or on my site, Chase Your Darling.

Finding My Lost Self [to be edited] by Dark_Starlet

She's sarcastic. She was the girl who never cared what people said. She was far from a romantic; She was Oreo obsessed. She used to beat up people in middle school, and still throws her shoes at them in high school. She was weird, a good weird. She was sensitive, but piss her off and you'll be scared. It was just her and the small, easy life she had. That was until everything had gone down the toilet. That was until her senior year had started.. ~♦~ Monsters are just everywhere, Only a few people are trustworthy. Would you be my savior if I'm lost there? 'Cause with all the greed, there's left no mercy. At some point I'll be so hopeless, At some point I'll get that feeling, That feeling when trying's Worthless, Doors are closed, I'm barely breathing. I need the light, I need a guide, I'll do things with all my might, Smiling is hard, life's not so "cute", You scream and yet, the screams are mute, When lies, evil and mistakes take all the love away... When asked how you feel it's always "I'm Okay," All the hope you had, got lost in the darkness, You're heartbroken, you feel so hopeless... Crying in the silence is the best you can. Everything has changed in a blurry time span... Would I be able to find true Love? Would I be able to ever again Trust? Be My Savior, Please Don't Be late... Give me true love... I hope you understand. My name is Samantha Walters, and that's how my story went... But who knows how it would end? - #11 in Humor Copyright © Dark_Starlet. All Rights reserved.
