Scarlette Anderson, has the perfect life. She's married to a hunk, and has her twin sister, Charlotte, as a best friend. 

After years of surfing, and seeing accident upon accident, she decides to puts the 'former' in front of 'surfer'. But, one day she decides to face her fear. She puts her surfboard in the truck, and heads to the beach with, Charlotte and Charlotte's boyfriend, Tristan.

"Today was different. I could feel something different about it. I turned my board around, and waited, trying to mentally prepare myself that I was going to be riding a wave after years. "I'm facing my fears!" was what I kept reciting in my head. 
The wave was getting closer.

"One... Two... ," I imagined Grant counting, in an attempt to calm my nerves. But, I couldn't calm my heart from pounding against my chest. "I can't do this," I thought. "I can't-"Three..." My heart began to slow down. The wave was getting closer. 
"Four..." In an instant, I was on my knees, and the next, I was on my feet. A feeling of deja vu filled my mind, as tiny salt water droplets splashed on my face. I was immediately overcome with the feeling of happiness, and began laughing. I was surfing.

"I did it! I actually did it! I'm surfing, Char look-" My sentence was cut short, when I looked over to show them. I saw them both look at each other, frantically talking. When they turned back to face me, I could see it. It was written all over their faces. Worry. 
I was about to ask what was wrong when Charlotte screamed at me, with a panic in her voice, "SCAR! LOOK OUT!"

It was as if everything moved in slow motion. I turned my head to look behind me, but it was too late. I was thrown off from my board in an instance, and propelled into the water." 

When Grant is told that Scarlette is in a comatose, he never leaves her side. He holds her hand, and tells her stories in an attempt to wake her up.

Will Grant's love be enough to wake up Scar?

She's willing to say and do just about anything to get there. But from the moment James Wilson enters the picture, her life takes a dramatic turn-and nothing will ever be the same. Scarlett's POV: "Are you always this infuriating?" he asks, clearly annoyed. I shoot him a glare, my temper flaring. "Depends on who's pissing me off," I snap back, noticing the way his fists clench. Great, now I've gone and poked the bear. "All good. I forgive you," I add quickly, not wanting to push him too far. He scoffs and turns away, unimpressed. God, what an asshole. I know I'm testing him, but I can't help it-I've always been a hothead, especially when someone tries to control me. ----- Meet Elizabeth Casana, a highly regarded executive assistant in New York City.

"You're such a charmer, Chris. But I'm onto you." "You say that like it's a bad thing." "Not bad," I admit, my hand resting comfortably on his leg. "Just...dangerous." ----- This story gives you two perspectives, alternating each chapter between Scarlett and Elizabeth. Expect a rollercoaster of drama, love, and comedy. P.S. It will get spicy-MATURE CONTENT ahead!

Ocean Goldreich is the sister I never had. Or at least, her brothers put that thing in my mind. I tried my best to look at her as my very own sister and it worked... for at least these whole year, until I met her again in Finland and somehow she looked even more perfect than I remember. And finally after all these years I gave in to my lust toward her. We crossed the lines with the promise that we will be back as brother and sister again afterward. Can I do that? The answer is bullshit. How can I look at her as my sister when all I can remember from her is our nights together. But she was so adamant to keep our relationship as best friends slash sister brother. Seriously, Ocean? Drew Roderick, I had a crush on him in all my teenage life. But he broke my heart again and again when he just looked at me as his little sister. And now, when I was over him (or I think I was), he came back to me and acted sweetly intimate romantic and whatever is far from the brotherly attitude. I tried to push him away, but I couldn't because the truth is I want him more than just a brother. Can we cross the line? The line that my brothers put is so thick between us. But, suddenly things in our life changed. Now I'm a mother of a little baby, Charlene. We have Charlene now. I can't let my lust override my brain. I have Char in stake. But why did Drew act like we are really a happy family? We are far from family. Just co-parenting a baby, right? Words {[150.000-200.000]}

"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey.

~Completed~ "Why are you being so shy?" He whispered. "I've seen, kissed, tasted every inch of your body. There is nothing to hide." I averted my eyes feeling heat in my cheeks and hoping that he could not feel it under his fingers. He made a frustrated noise then ducked down and pressed a kiss to the base of my jaw. The fingers previously on my cheek were now tilting my head back. "Scarlett Summer," he said into my ear, "sometimes you are the most infuriating person I have ever met." "I'm sorry." I whispered. "God, why are you apologizing? It is me who should be sorry for all of the unspeakable thoughts in my mind pertaining to you. You know I was not kidding when I said I was a dominating person. I know you've experienced it first-hand. I'm too rough with you I know that. You're just so, so breakable." He whispered the last part in my ear with so much behind it. "Sometimes I think I want to break you. Just shatter you into tiny pieces." His voice was shaky as he made his confession. "Do it then." I challenged with guile, devoid of self-preservation. ********************************************************************************* Scarlett has got some issues to say the least. She lives her life in her past and she is always waiting to die. There are a few things she enjoys, like her family, but even they are a compilation of bad memories and sore spots of her past.

'No, he didn't'. I was so shocked by the turn of events. Everything was going fine and then suddenly boom, everything turned upside down. I just couldn't believe this. What did he think of himself? 'Leave me alone.' I said firmly but his hold on me was so strong. I was struggling to get out of his bear hold but to no avail. 'Oh!! So, the poor lady thinks that I will leave her alone and just let her go free?' He had that evil laugh and boy, his breath stank. 'Man, you just signed your death warrant and I will do one favour on you.' No one messes with me. 'Ooooh, I am so scared that I almost peed my pants.' Again that idiotic laugh. I counted till 5 and then kicked right in his balls. I turned around and grabbed his hair from roots, jerked them so badly and then gave my hard elbow shot on his chin. Everything happened so fast for one moment he was standing and the other lying on floor wiggling. I charged at him with my cheetah speed, picked up a wooden rod and started hitting him wildly, 'You idiotic stinky breath was trying to steal my backpack. You are so dead.' 'Favour, favour, favour.' He was screaming in pain just after few seconds and was panting hard. I picked my paste from my bag and threw at him, 'Brush your teeth.' I was fuming. I turned around and saw him standing wide-eyed, 'Hi, I am Scarlett.' I smiled showing my 32 teeth. 'I am scared.' His look puzzled me.
