The Moving Times Of Caroline Proudly
Caroline is 16 when she suddenly decides that her perfectly normal and loving home life is absolutely and completely intolerable. Suddenly moving out of home in 1988 is the beginning of a 13 year journey. As the journey continues, the passage of time has no significance. Always with the ability to find the humorous side, each address marks another chapter in Caroline's life and is the backdrop for the people she meets and the events that occur. Accommodation varies from unheated rooms and houses with wheel-less cars jacked-up outside to Regency flats and rural cottages. Transportation means vary from a single use bicycle, to Betsa and the faithful Dwanetta. Flatmates vary from a lovely Brummie and a singing nun to a dying dog, a ginger laminator, a 3 nippled geek and an accidental spell with a local drugs baron. Events vary from harbouring boarding schoolgirls, exercising racehorses, the occasional rave, trading in shampoo and marmite on toast to looking for stolen laundry, going undercover and self-defence with a hockey stick. Jobs vary from not having one to shop work, bartending and au pair through to getting a toe on the corporate ladder. There is infatuation, and love from various sources so there is also disappointment, and breakups by varying means and for various reasons. Education varies from a bit of formal study to a large dollop of the University of Life. The latter being the real reason Caroline left home in the first place - to grow up in her own way through her own experiences with no-one else to blame but herself and the interesting hand that life deals along the way. Caroline moves home 19 times, only to find that the 20th move takes her to the last place she ever expected to be. Back where she started. Things aren't always as they seem...Complete
In The Spotlight | ✔️
❝ If she doesn't scare the life out of you a little, she isn't the one. ❞ Mckayla Silva has had enough. Enough of her stupid job, as news broadcaster. She was pretty sure that nobody else apart that her would tolerate reading reports on a dog's love life and flirtations. Like come on. Seriously? Add on top of that, an obnoxious manager that's hated her from first sight and finds it absolutely hilarious to name her after a burger. Oh, and don't forget the nerd's overly clingy family that absolutely destroyed her university life, and crushed any chance of independence. Just perfect. So when an argument in a makeup shop leads to a sudden job offer of a music video director in the Hollywood world, Mckayla feels like this is her breakthrough moment. What she does not expect is a flashy fashionista that thinks he owns the set, an stunning yet arrogant model who doesn't miss an single opportunity to dig at her and certainly not a playboy singer, who seems to have made it his mission to mess this opportunity up for her. Determined not to let this happen, Mckayla sets off on her journey up the ladder, only to find an annoying hindrance called love in the form of River Romano, bent upon knocking her down. •-xXx-• | Best chick-lit/romance | Aluris Awards 2018 | | Best chick-lit | Pastel Awards 2018/2019 | #5 hotmess 18/05/18 #70 in romcom 25/05/18 •-xXx-• In the Spotlight KiwiAndKoalas All rights reserved ©Complete
Out Of The Blue
Welcome to out of the blue! A story about dreams, disasters, and a girl who probably should've just taken a nap instead.
His Fake fiancé
Needs to be heavily edited lmao (first wrote when I was like 15) Now, I'm alone with the beast . He stares into my soul causing me to gulp. "You're going to do something for me." He rounds his desk, coming to a stop in front of me. His body towering over my seated self. I look forward facing his crotch, the bulge in his pants making itself known. I make eye contact with him, an evil smirk, he says one word, "suck." .... Grayson Black is the definition of playboy. Unfortunately when owning a large and successful company, image matters especially when your only 27, so he decided to 'commit' himself to a relationship to prove that he's changed his ways. Except the woman he 'commits' himself to is his assistant. When feelings begin to grow on one end and there's a secret surprise on the way, what happens? #15 in romance #1 in employee #2 CEO #1 baby #1 fake love #1 in love lifeComplete

His Priority (Book 1)
"Look," he said sternly, his green eyes blazing with anger as he looked down at the small woman before him. The dark skin that covered her body made him want to reach out and lose himself completely in her beauty and those dark chocolate eyes weren't helping. He gave a frustrated sigh when she stared up at him with an innocence only she would have. "I don't like this anymore than you do, but for the time being you're going to have to stay with me, just until the chaos dies down." She crossed her perfectly toned arms across her small chest and frowned. "This isn't my fault," she huffed, "You lied to me. I - I didn't know you were famous!" - - - What was meant to be a simple one night stand just to show her friends that she wasn't always a goody two shoes ended up turning her life upside down thanks to a certain rockstar. But who said her life was perfect in the first place? Maybe this was what she needed to figure out who she really was. #18 in Chicklit 08/30/17 (I promise I love you guys) #15 in Chicklit 09/02/17 #14 in Chicklit 09/04/17 #12 in Chicklit 09/14/17 #9 in Chicklit 10/14/17 #5 in Chicklit 10/20/17 #175 in Romance 8/9/18 #130 in Romance 8/10/18 #24 in Romance 12/6/19Complete

My boss is my freaking Ex?!!!
I, Abigail "Abby" Wilson had no choice but to find a job A.S.A.P as I was kicked out of our house when my grumpy grandmother have had enough of my jobless lazy ass just partying, shopping, and getting drunk. The last straw was when I thought that my grandmother would not be home from a cruise and decided to throw a wild pool party at our house. Just when the party was getting hot my grandmother came home furious and kicked my friends---well, some I didn't even know---out of the house including my sorry Lil ass. I begged and told her that I'd change, but she didn't listen. She said that I could only come back when I proved to her that I'd changed. Well.. To hell with that! Now, I was unwillingly here in the executive office of the CEO of Hamilton Electronics &TelCom International Corp (HETIC); Alexander Hamilton as his executive assistant. I gaped in surprise as the boss whom I'd be working with starting today, sitting impassively on his expensive leather swivel chair was no other than my ex-boyfriend Alex back in high school who just decided to disappear without telling me! What would Abby do? She'd already signed a two-year contract and she couldn't afford to pay the breach of contract as of now. Could she work with him knowing that they had a past? And what was with his attitude? It seemed like he had a secret grudge toward her that she could hardly comprehend. I guessed she had to find that out for herself.Complete
