"This is not your typical happily ever after...
 
Lauren Brooks wants to do three things: Escape the small town she grew up in, get accepted to her dream school in Chicago, and graduate without drowning in debt. Now she's working her ass off to do just that.
 
With a full course load and a waitressing job at one of the hottest night clubs in Chicago, she does not have time for distractions;namely ones who only want to get into her pants. She's been burned before. Only a fool goes for a second round.. With just two semesters left until graduation, everything's on track.
 
Until she meets Cal. Enter distraction.
 
At six-foot-two, with ebony hair, deep grey eyes, and a smile that could only hide an agenda, she knows he's trouble. And for the first time in her life, a little trouble might be just what she needs.
 
Now what she wants.
 
It isn't like she'd ever marry the guy. Until she does.
 
What she thinks will be her happily ever after, is only the beginning. Cal has a secret. One that makes loving him come with a price, and being his wife cost more than she bargained for.

The Quiet Beginning (BOOK ONE) by joshduplantis2026
15 parts Complete Mature
When Taylor James, twenty-one and a little bit broken, transfers to a small-town university, she tells herself it's just another move - another place to start over, another chance to disappear into a crowd. But the truth is, she's tired of running from the pieces of her past she never learned how to fix. Then there's Mason Hale - twenty-two, reserved, and most at peace when he's behind his guitar. To everyone else, he's the easygoing guy who always has a song for every mood. But underneath that calm exterior, Mason's carrying his own quiet chaos - and music is the only way he knows how to breathe through it. When Taylor and Mason are paired together for a class project, neither expects much more than polite conversation and late-night study sessions. But what begins as friendship slowly turns into something deeper - shared smiles that last too long, laughter that feels like home, and the kind of silence that says everything words can't. As the months pass, their connection becomes the one constant in a world that keeps shifting beneath them. Mason finds himself writing songs that sound like her laughter, and Taylor begins to see that maybe healing isn't about forgetting, but about finding someone who makes it safe to remember. But the closer they get, the more fragile it all feels - like a melody too beautiful to last. Because love, especially the kind that starts quietly, asks for courage neither of them is sure they have yet. "The Quiet Beginning" is a tender, slow-burn romance about two people learning how to be seen - and the quiet, breathtaking way love can grow between the spaces of who they were and who they're still becoming.

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. π”Ήπ• π• π•œ βžƒ 𝕠𝕗 βžƒ - β„‚π• π•žπ•‘π•π•–π•₯𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.

''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.
