Find A Way To My Heart - Book 1 ✔️ by Cathy_Zeewriter

Cassy Elle Anderson has never been one to gamble with her heart. Love, with all its whispered promises and cruel betrayals, has always been a game she refuses to play. Too much had been lost before, too many scars etched beneath her skin. And yet, two years ago, everything changed. Ben Mills stepped into her life-captivating, impossible to ignore-woven into her world through her best friend, Paul. She told herself it was nothing. A fleeting fascination. But no matter how fiercely she tried to bury it, the ache remained-a slow, smoldering ember she dared not fan into flame. Until one day, Ben said the words she never expected to hear, his confession forcing her to stand at the edge of something she never thought she'd want. Just when she convinces herself to leap, Blake Handerson emerges like a storm, creeping into her thoughts, unearthing buried doubts, and turning her world upside down, leaving her torn between two choices. Love, trust, betrayal-nothing is as it seems. As the walls around Cassy's heart begin to crack, she must face one question: Who truly deserves her heart? "Once you turn the first page, there's no turning back."

Dear Intruder | (Completed) by vineethereader

Could you fall in love with someone you never met, saw or spoke to? Sounds unlikely? *** Ella is an overworked college student whose only plan is to complete her degree swiftly & proficiently. Sounds simple enough- but when she comes across a personal diary that sparks her curiosity, it is suddenly proven a little more than a speed bump. Ella is intrigued, maybe even enamored.... But definitely in denial. Hooked by the writer's endearing charm, sharp wit & beautiful penmanship, she begins an anonymous correspondence and with every confession, every single quip and joke, he wins her heart little by little while she loses herself in those letters. Even though she has a pile of college assignments demanding her time, Ella makes it her mission to search for the unknown writer. She defenestrates her logical plans & tortures herself by indulging in a nail-biting & probably a tad bit unhealthy mystery as she sets out on an expedition that would only come to an end when she finds the enigmatic scribbler. And that just might be the most terrifying project she has ever taken on.

Connections | ✔️ by CxTannir

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.
