Right Back On by lindsle

**Book 2 in the Coda Paxton Series** From the very moment I met Oakley Meisner, I knew my life was going to change, big time. As if my world wasn't messy enough already, she whirled in like a hurricane and turned everything upside down. I have a lot to thank that girl for, though. She introduced me to my best friend and got me into roping; the sport I grew to love. And, as much as I hate it, I have to credit her for giving me the confidence to believe in myself and stand up for what's right. If there's one good thing to be said about Oakley, it's that she was relentless in forcing me to stand up, dust myself off, and get right back on with life.

If Hearts Could Speak (UNEDITED) by PlushCollector

|"Sometimes the heart knows things the mind could never explain." -Ranjeet| We are teenagers. We have gone through hell and back. Listen to the stories we have to tell. Spoiler alert: we get broken in the end. But our stories come from our heart. Listen to our heartbeat. Elizabeth and Andrew were good friends up until high school. They drifted away, and rarely spoke to each other. During the last few months of high school, Elizabeth and her four friends get caught in drama. This includes crushes, breakups, makeups, bullies, and much more. Elizabeth has to keep them together and ignore her longing crush on a plain and heartbroken guy. But maybe something could distract her from all that. Maybe that distraction's name is Blake. Warning: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! This story contains many plot holes, cliche moments, and just things that don't make any sense. (And editing would be a nightmare. I can't do it myself. I've officially given up on this story.) #569 in Teen Fiction on April 9, 2016 |Added to @weareteenqueens "High School Highlights" reading list!| |Entered in the #W.SAwards for 2016 "Most Favorited Book!"| #Wattys2016 #WriteForYou #MyYouth #weareteenqueens

Western Heat by MustangSabby

A fish-out-of-water story about a New York City chef who inherits a ranch, discovers a family he never knew, and finds unexpected love with a fiercely loyal woman. For fans of western romance superstars like Lyla Sage and Elise Silver. New York City chef Jake West had it all, but a few strokes of a pen meant no more marriage. No more restaurant. No more big city lifestyle. Then he receives a call explaining that his long-estranged father, Brett, has died, and he needs to return to the Canadian ranch he left as a child. Jake expects to go, sign more papers, and return to the city and rebuild his future. Instead Jake learns that Brett's left the ranch to him-and only him. Things might have been hot in his restaurant's kitchen, but that's nothing compared to what he faces now: a family he didn't know existed, and a property he doesn't want. Tanner and Brady, his half-brothers, don't want him around. And while his stepmother, Peony, welcomes him, there's Liz, Peony's daughter. She's not a West, but her loyalties lie with the family, not an outsider. However, as Jake settles into the rhythms of the ranch, he wonders if he's finally found something that's been missing in his life-especially as he and Liz grow closer. At first, it's just attraction, but when a sudden kiss ignites a heat in both of them, they can't ignore this raging inferno. Maybe Brett West knew what he was doing when he summoned his eldest son back home-and gave him a chance to change his life forever. This is Book 1 of the West Line Ranch Series. Book 2 - Western Connection and Book 3 - Western Flame, are currently available to read on Wattpad Available In bookstores now! https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790665/western-heat-by-caroline-richardson/9781998341375/ Watty's Shortlist - 2021 Cover designed by Nora Inla

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.

Teen friendships by elvsi04

Note: This is my first original Wattpad creation. I know that there might be mistakes in some part but they are direct to understand. For the first few days, you may feel bored because nobody understands the story at the beginning. As you keep on reading, you may find it interesting. Please don't feel burdened with this. Thank you for your patience. The story is about a girl who narrates herself in her year 16. She is smart in her studies and extracurricular activities. But when it comes to love, she doesn't know how to react. She spends months with her best friends. Her sweet and silent nature changes and she becomes more courageous. She was able to do whatever she was scared of before only due to some circumstances. Her friends are the ones to change her. But will this friendship turn her to be a good girl or a bad one? Will their friendship last forever? Will something happen where she will be left all alone?
