Emilia Addison was to put it simply, a misfit. She didn't have too many friends, wasn't considered 'clever', wasn't seen as 'cool', labelled and misjudged, she was cast aside. After the death of her father, she moved to Brighton with her mother and their dog. Emilia was still the 'freak', even at secondary school. But with it being her last year, she'd decided to accept her fate and that things would get better once she'd left. Finding her comfort in photography, one day she takes a trip down to the beach to take photos. A trip that altered her life forever. Because staring back at her down the camera lens was a young man, who was to make a mark upon her soul so great, that she would remember it for all the years to come. And it is often said that every great relationship blossoms from a great friendship. But fame threatens to get in the way, to cause intense anguish and fragmentation between the two. And Emilia realises it's up to her to save herself. But a relationship so beautiful and unique, so strong and potent is too remarkable a thing to destroy.

9 Years Later
They met for the right reasons but at the wrong time. She was just about to graduate from college, and he was already a successful CEO/Businessman who is ten years her senior. A city love like no other. Enter the world of Alecx and Tristan, brought together by fate, only to be separated by unexpected circumstances. Will there be a second chance for them when they meet again 9 years later? A story about chasing dreams, friendship and love.... "A love story that will make you swoon. Definitely a fun, entertaining and feel-good read. " - A Reader's Comment Excerpts: 1) I saw her hug one of the guys in that department and kissed him on the cheek. I don't really deal a lot with our employees. I am mostly either inside my office or in the boardroom conducting meetings, so I do not even know who this guy she is smitten with. Just seeing her do that caused a twinge of jealousy inside me. I barely know this girl and yet, she is making me feel something I have not felt before. 2) I gave him a dagger look and tried to get away from his hold, but he did not let me. Instead, he put both his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. Our faces are just inches away from each other. He was looking at me intently. My heart is beating so fast. I feel like I am going to melt from his gaze. "I am just messing with you. I am sorry. Forget about what I said. Just dance with me. For old time's sake." He smiled at me. I continued to look him straight in the eyes. "Why did I ever leave this amazing man in front of me?" I asked myself regretfully. I set aside all my inhibitions and placed both my arms around his neck. Even just for tonight, I will enjoy this moment. I rested my head on his shoulder and nuzzled my face on his neck. I hope we can stay like this forever.Complete
All of her
Emilia Hartley has always been too much. Too opinionated. Too ambitious. Too loud. Too emotional. Too everything-according to every man who's ever tried to love her. So now she doesn't let anyone try. She's built a life of control: sharp suits, sharper words, and a career that leaves no room for mistakes. Or feelings. James Dunne is everything she shouldn't want. Calm. Controlled. Maddeningly unreadable. A financial advisor with a voice like velvet and a habit of watching her too closely in meetings. He's not the kind of man who gets involved. Not with women like her. Not with anyone. When a high-profile client forces them to collaborate, tension sparks fast-and it doesn't burn out. Not after late nights in glass offices. Not after near-kisses in rain-drenched cabs. Not after one devastating night where she lets him in, only to run the next morning. But James doesn't flinch. He never told her to be quieter. Or smaller. And for the first time in her life, Emilia is terrified... of someone staying. All of Her is a slow-burn, emotionally charged love story about ambition, vulnerability, and the rare kind of intimacy that doesn't ask you to change-just to be seen.
Fixing Celia
They say betrayal never comes from your enemies. I used to think that was just something people said to feel better about their broken hearts. Until mine shattered too. The night it happened, everything changed. I lost my best friend. I lost my boyfriend. But worst of all... I lost myself. It's funny how a single moment can split your life into before and after. Before, I was the girl who believed in love, in loyalty, in forever. After, I was the girl standing in the ruins of what used to be her world, gasping for air, screaming into the silence, wondering why. Why me? Why now? Why them? So, I ran. Packed what was left of me and left the pieces behind-what else could I do? I moved cities. Moved in with my cousin. I told myself I needed a break, a fresh start. I told myself I wasn't looking for anyone. I was here to rebuild, quietly, carefully. Just me and the pain that still lived under my skin. But then... I saw him. At the club. Dark suit. Brooding eyes. Hands in his pockets like the world bowed at his feet. He didn't just walk in; he owned the room. The kind of man who didn't need to speak to be heard. I didn't know his name. I didn't know his story. But I felt his eyes on me like a touch that burned. He was power. He was danger. He was everything I told myself to avoid. But as fate would have it, the man who never chased anyone... noticed the broken girl who stopped believing in love. And maybe-just maybe-he'd be the one to help me believe again. This is the story of how I broke... And how he found every shattered piece.![Holding Back [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/145686156-256-k319302.jpg)
Holding Back [COMPLETED]
"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything. "IT'S NOT CLICHÉ!!!" - Moria987 "This is the reason y I keep coming back to this book...It's simply a breathtaking journey" - mariyamsajorawala "I don't usually comment but this is one of the best books I've read here.

A Summer Like No Other
She's his best friend's little sister. He's the biggest player of them all. They shouldn't be together. But this summer's just too tempting. Sixteen-year-old Emilia Moretti's goal for the summer is simple: forget her brother's best friend-Nick Grawsky-ever existed. It should be easy: He's spending his summer in the Hamptons, adding girls in tiny bikinis to his list of broken hearts. Guarantee he won't be telling them they're like his little sisters. This summer, Emilia won't stay awake at night thinking about him. She'll need flawless ballet movements to have a shot at next year's showcase, and she's finally ready to search for her birth parents. But when Nick decides to stay in the city, Emilia's resolve disappears in a pirouette. Maybe it's the spin they needed to be together. As long as she doesn't get stuck believing in happily ever after... Nick is tired of pretending to be the happy, let's-have-fun guy. His father wants him to change his career from professional dancer to...lawyer. He needs to put all of his focus on dancing to prove to Daddy Dearest he's good enough to make it big. And he may have a case of the bluest balls in history courtesy of Emilia. She's off-limits: The bro code with Roberto even forbids the dirty thoughts he has about her. Besides, he's not boyfriend material. He only has time for flings, for girls who don't expect much, for girls he doesn't want to kiss goodnight. He knows he should resist her, but he's not sure he wants to... At least for this summer. It's going to be a summer like no other.Complete
