As for her mother and sisters, they are still adjusting to palace life. Everything's going well-until Lauren gets a mysterious letter hand-delivered to her with disturbing contents. Things that only people inside her family know-about her past, her present, and possibly her future.

Proving I was good enough for her was the only thing I was worried about. I have Daddy issues. Mine wasn't around much, I mean like he's around just didn't give a crap about my brother or me.

Losing the love of my life taught me that inactions have consequences. My new bookkeeping job teaches me that numbers don't lie, but people do. Sharing yoga with others is my refuge from the darkness pulling me to stay home. A ginormous pro football player barging into my classes isn't in my rehab plan. Worse, it's the cocky jerk who treats me like I'm too insignificant to remember. If only I could say the same. Sam Pearson is Houston's golden, champion-winning quarterback. He's arrogant, rude, and reckless. His agent, my brother, thinks I can rehabilitate his injured shoulder and spiraling ego to achieve a long-term contract. I think Sam needs a reality smack in his handsome face. I should hate his rebellious distractions, but I can't stop challenging him out of his comfort zone. After losing most of myself along with my other half, Sam's woken me up inside. He challenges me, irritatingly, which is exciting and scary. He's dangerously close to cracking open my closed-off heart, revealing the secrets holding me back. And yet, he might also be the second chance at love I thought I didn't deserve. A Wattpad Creator story. Mature content - 18+ Story is complete! #1 - quarterback, yoga, charityLengkap

Practice Makes Perfect (A Romantic Comedy)
AMBY AWARDS TOP PICK 2023 ❤️ "You think I can't act like I'm into you?" He asks in a whisper. He reaches out, and strokes a finger down my cheek, and I feel myself shiver at the touch. "You think I can't convince everyone that I have feelings for you?" His eyes are darker than ever, and any sign of a smile has now vanished. The only word I can think right now to describe him is "smouldering". I have searched many great romance novels (and even more sub-standard ones), and I am yet to find a better synonym for that particular word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Watson has always played by the rules. She also constantly strives to be the best at everything she does.

However, when she needs a fake boyfriend to save face in front of Declan, Ric might just be the only man she can turn to . . . Practice Makes Perfect offers you some forced proximity, enemies to lovers, a dash of fake dating, pub quizzes, flatmate frustrations . . . And - of course - an annoying ex, because doesn't everyone have at least one of those??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover by @LNRoberts1 ❤️Lengkap
Cremated Chains
"Sometimes I wish I could ask him how it feels to break a broken person."**Cassidy Carlone was a perfectly normal teenager, in fact, the term perfect seemed to define her life in general. With a solid friend group, loving family with a stable income, and a brilliant mind: she had everything a teenage girl could ask for. But that all seemed to change when a certain hickory-eyed boy decided to torment and kidnap Cassidy, choosing to abandon her on a roadside a month with a memory of everything but his identity. A new town was supposed to make things better, but the horrors of her past weren't through with her as the series of cynical notes and deaths of her loved ones followed her to St Briston. Can she make it out alive? Possibly. But the real question is whether she'll have anyone to go back to after it all, or will her kidnapper prevail yet again?Lengkap
"Almost Green"
Strands of your mind cling together like web to a slippery leaf bathed in the morning dew. You have seen both heaven and hell, witnessed the atrocities of war firsthand, and imagined a better life in the deepest, most intimate corners of your dreaming spirit. The wishes for peace and certainty you have once so desperately longed for, now lay trampled underneath the might of your mind's vivid horrors. What was once so bright and lively, now cowers in fear, clinging to gone memories like a shipwreck survivor to some lowly piece of driftwood. From the depths of hell, you arrived victorious, grasping the laurel wreath high above your head. Unrecognizable, with your empty eyes telling a story of innocence brutally taken away from the child curling in shame in the depths of your empty soul. Almost green you are, curly head, having grown up with a rifle by your bedside table, never knowing peace and quiet. Out of the pan that was the Kazdel Civil War and into the scorching flames of Lungmen, where life flows by on its own accord, here, you must learn to live once more. So put on your best facade, Let the reuniting trumpets ring a wild, And allow the city to swallow you whole. Here we are, a continuation of my previous work "Goodbye Curly Head", which sprawled into quite the epistle (but it wasn't really a letter, it's just long :P). Summarized in the most basic way possible, it's a story about a twenty-year-old Kazdel Civil War veteran who goes to Lungmen and has some troubles acclimating to the steady life presented before him. Sprinkle in a too-good-to-be-true offer and a freshly established logistics company, and you get Andy trying to make it big for as long as his deteriorating mental state lets him. I'd say it works as a standalone story for anyone who doesn't want to bother reading the first part. For now, at least. As always, please, pwwease leave a comment, positive, negative, I LOOOVE reading and replying to comments!!Lengkap
