*2nd Place Chicklit & Romance in Brewing Flair Awards 2018
Mia Abraham never thought she will have to ever share her heart with another, that is other than her love for the sea. It all changed a few years back when she met this little boy, and gave half her heart to him. Ofcourse Zachary Adams had no clue about this, since obviously he decided to leave me, his family and the island we grew up in to never return.
Mia was left with a broken heart. She tried to get back to her normal life until tragedy hits her world. The only life and people she ever knew. Devastation lead to her losing her best friend and the guy she almost fell for along with everything and everyone she ever cared about.
All alone she turns to the sea, practically living on the beach. But it failed to give her any peace of mind. She needs the help of the other half of her heart to move from this desolation. Would he even remember her? Does he even care whether she is safe? Would Mia need to make the first move?

Loving The Outcast Girl
She was the girl they left behind. Forgotten by the people who were supposed to love her most. Mia used to shine. She was top of her class-bright, focused, the girl everyone expected to succeed. Intelligent, dependable, always a step ahead. But when her father died and her mom left with her younger siblings, something in her dimmed. The spark that once made her stand out began to flicker beneath the weight of survival. She was sixteen, alone and broke. When Mia lost everything, her best friends, the very ones who once promised to stand by her no matter what, walked away without looking back. They didn't want to be dragged down with her. Her downfall was inconvenient, and their loyalty was never meant to survive the fall. And the final blow? One of them ended up with the boy Mia had quietly liked for years. She didn't just lose her family. She lost her place in the world. Mia faded into the background-unseen, unchosen, forgotten. Until a new student transferred to Suncrest Academy. Liam Alcaraz was handsome and hot. He was everything she wasn't: wealthy, magnetic, adored. But for reasons Mia couldn't explain, he only had eyes for her. Everyone in school remembered her name. Whispers started. Rumors followed. Jealousy brewed in quiet corners and loud hallways. For the first time in a long while, people looked her way-not with pity, but with curiosity, envy, and something sharper. But Mia didn't shrink. Not this time. Something inside her had shifted. She stood taller, spoke clearer, moved through the world as if it didn't owe her anything-and still, she would claim her place in it. Not for them. Not even for him. But for the girl she used to be-the one she almost forgot. And maybe... for a love she never thought she'd deserve.Complete
The Day You Were Mine
Mia I fell hard and fast, just like any teenager does at that age. The second I saw him, I knew my life wouldn't be the same. Everyone told me not to do it, to give up this teenage fantasy, but how could I? Every bone in my body belonged to him before he even put a finger on me. It had been fourteen years since the last time I'd seen him, and I was still his. But the Liam in front of me was different. He'd changed; I'd changed. After all the hurt, can I really just put everything aside to start again? Liam I knew she was mine; her eyes gave her away. Seeing Mia again after fourteen years was like coming back to life, and no matter how much she wanted to stay away from me, I wasn't going to stay away from her. Letting her go was the hardest decision I have ever made, and I'm never doing that again. Yes, I'm no longer the suppressed boy she met long ago. I'm much more important now. A lot has happened in the past few years, so when an opportunity to become the powerful man I am today presented itself, I didn't think twice to take it. This life will now be Mia's, too. I only hope she can still love me as the mafia boss I have become.Complete
Yes, Love Sucks! ✔
Featured on New Beginnings in Romance Picks Anthology at Romance Recognised in 6x Awards - What do you do when your heart pulls you in two different directions? Hi, my name is Olivia Meyer, and I'm a seventeen-year-old girl who has a little confession: falling for Freddie Hutchinson, the school's infamous 'bad boy,' was never part of the plan. I've always been perfectly fine with my low-key life. Books over parties? Check. Silence over drama? Double-check. Honestly, I'm just trying to survive high school with my best friend, Tom McKenzie, by my side since he's the only person who's ever really seen me. But then I got paired with Freddie for a class project. Freddie Hutchinson, with his leather jacket, sharp smirk, and reputation darker than my coffee order. We've never spoken a word to each other before now, but suddenly, I'm seeing sides of him no one else seems to notice. Like the kind-hearted boy hiding beneath the tough exterior. And now my carefully crafted world is starting to crack. Alicia James, the queen bee of high school politics, isn't happy about the Status Quo changing and Tom... well, let's just say he's acting weird. Like, jealous kind of weird. The worst part? I think I might actually like Freddie. Like, love him. You read it right: love him. But if I choose him, I could lose everything else I care about. So, what do I do? Follow my heart, or stick to the plan? Either way, I have a feeling my senior year is about to get way more complicated than ever. Wish me luck. XO Olivia Copyright © 2024 by Alina BryneComplete

Ice To Meet You
"What else do you want me to say, Mia?" "Did you mean it?" There is a pause and I just-I feel exhausted, the kind that 12 hours of sleep hasn't been able to fix. "Hannah said I don't deserve to be loved, is that how you feel too?" She might not have said it in as many words but that's exactly what she meant. He takes my hand in his and kisses it. "Between the both of us-it's I who doesn't deserve to be loved." "Too bad you already are." "Please stop saying it!" he may not have screamed the words at me but he might as well have. "You think I am lying?" He holds my face with both his hands and looks deep in my eyes. "Mia, I will say this for the last time. I don't do love. I don't want to be loved by anyone and I will never fall in love with anyone ever. If you love me, keep that love to yourself. Please." "Why?" "This is the deal, Mia. Take it or leave it. I will give you my loyalty and my time but I will not have you telling me you love me ever again. I don't believe in love and I can't give you love. Can you live with that?" "What if I can't?"Complete

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1)
Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.Complete
