Eleanor "Elle" is fun and outgoing. She's a talented young girl full of dreams and life...which makes her the exact opposite of what her stuck-up snobby family wants her to be.

Although Elle's been "disowned" for leaving behind the Mercer family name and fortune to pursue her dreams in Florence, Italy, her older sister decides to invite her to her wedding. Reluctantly, Elle agrees to be the M.O.H (Maid of Honor) and travels back to the States three weeks before the wedding. 

What Elle finds there shocks her and takes her on a whirlwind adventure; the groom and future husband of the ever perfect Simone Mercer is an old flame of hers that's best left extinguished. 

Will this trip serve as a means of closure for both, or will Elle end up Stealing the Groom?

Dreaming Of More Than Just A White Christmas {Phan} (Book Four) by Skycatlovesu23

READ "HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS," "CHRISTMAS IN JULY," AND "UNDERNEATH THE MISTLETOE" BEFORE YOU READ THIS Eleven months. That's how long it's been since Dan and Phil made the decision to give Ellie away to another family rather than adopt her themselves. During those eleven months, everything has fallen apart one after another. Phil is rarely ever home for an extended amount of time, leaving Dan depressed because of it. Along with that, both of them feel heavy regret about giving Ellie away. Not a day goes by where the few memories they made with her race through their minds, not a day goes by where those blonde curls and that bright smile don't haunt their memories, and not a day goes by where they both wish that they could go back in time and make things right. Needless to say, Dan and Phil's marriage is another thing that is in turmoil. Countless verbal fights, disagreements over insignificant things that turned into fights, and even one incident that one nearly struck the other have put quite a strain on their marriage, and every single day, divorce becomes even more imminent. After all, could you even call two people married if they haven't slept in the same bed, hugged, kissed, and even held hands in months? Then, one night, while Phil is yet again not home, Dan decides that he's had enough. Packing up his things and journeying into the London winter cold with the goal of never stopping traveling around until he finds Ellie in order to beg for forgiveness, even though he knows that neither he nor Phil deserve it, and get her back once and for all, the British native only takes a suitcase's worth of stuff and leaves everything else behind, even his wedding ring. However, as Dan is about to find out, sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Sufferable Acceptance by adataylorr

I would never admit this to anyone for as long as I lived, and I was going to hell for thinking it, but Theo Romano was hot when he was angry. It wasn't until I finished my dramatic speech did I notice he was standing a few inches from me. I could smell his intoxicating cologne, and I had to hold back every bone in my body that told me to jump him. I'd really done it now. I had pissed off the underboss, and I wasn't even officially hired yet. ***** Amelia Monet had built an empire for herself. To be fair, there was never a shortage of jobs for an assassin. Leaving quickly from a job Amelia walked past a bar that caught her eye. If she had known how much her life would change after that night would she still have walked through those doors? She still couldn't answer that question. That night became the first time she met Theo Romano, heir to the Italian Mafia, and unfortunately for Amelia it wouldn't be the last. ***** This book is considered mature. I don't want to upset anyone. This is the warning to potential triggers of murder, suicide, abuse, and adult themes.

But that's the old Princess Barbara, lost in the tragic accident that slipped Carrie into the Princess's life. Carrie must change the way the people of the Nation perceive her.

And maybe, just maybe, she'll get the fairy tale princess ending every little girl dreams of. **This is not a typical fantasy! This is an alternative history fantasy!**

*This story was written when I was 16, it was the first thing I ever wrote so it's a bit rushed and cringey, I'm sorry </3) 𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘝𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘦. The name already speaks for itself, the girl is an angel. Sheltered and protected by her brothers, Angelina has a shy nature, and tends to keep to herself, which explains the lack of friends. What happens, when the beautiful, italian, soft-spoken angel quite literally falls into the arms of the 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗹 𝗛𝗶𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳? 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘰 𝘈𝘭𝘷𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘻. While his first name means ''gift of God'' the intimidating male is anything but that. Mateo has always kept to himself, never speaks to anyone apart from his two 'jackass' bestfriends. He never had any intentions on falling in love, he just wanted to take over his fathers business and continue to grow. It all seems to change when a tiny angel falls into his arms. !!

Death Of Innocence by CathyJensen

Each of us have a pivotal moment in our lives which can change us for good or bad. Some have a lot of those. I am for sure mine were many. But alas I am using E L James characters again for this story. Ana Steele is and has been very religious. She has chosen to become a Nun. She goes where she is sent no matter what. Things happen that change her forever. Christian Grey and Elliott Grey are playboys who made money easily and find it easy to attract women whee ever they go. Mia Grey is their baby sister who has no real direction except marrying well and having children. Even though her mother is an example you can become something more than a trophy wife, she can't get through to her. Mias friends aspire to marry her billionaire playboy brothers. So they have no real ambitions of their own. Mia is going to have a very rude awakening in this story. Even though this alludes to mature materiel, I will not become graphic in details. Thanks for reading

Marrying The Gang Leader by colourgreen28

Sawyer is the daughter of the second strongest gang leader in North America. She has an older brother, whom left her and her family. After he left, she was basically treated like an only child. Sawyer got what she wanted, but when it came to her love life, her father didn't approve. So, her father doing what he thinks is best for her and the gang, decides to marry her off to the next in line gang leader of the strongest and largest gang in North America. Just when she is finally getting used to her new life, with her husband-to-be, something happens that could possibly ruin what she has worked hard to create. That threatens to keep the young couple apart, and to kill anyone that tries to stop them. P.S this book doesn't have as much action as I would want it to but there is some. Just not a lot. It's more about how Sawyers life changes after she left home, how she is to plan her whole wedding basically alone.

On and Off the Ice by hazelnutspread08

Finn Wagner just wants to fly under the radar, graduate high school, and, somehow, get an NHL contract to escape his parent's expectations and his grades. Finn is trying to understand his identity - he's dyslexic, German, French, and American, the youngest of four siblings and easily the least impressive, barely passing his classes. There's another thing, though: he's bisexual and not out to anyone, convinced he never will be. But when an impulsive coming out to his parents ends up with him outed to his entire school, Finn has to face the opinions of not only his parents, but his hockey team, his best friend, and the new girl he's falling for. Will he be able to find himself under all the layers of his identity, and more importantly, will he be able to accept who that person is? Annabelle Lindström wants life to chill out a little during her last year of high school. With no mother and a NHL player for a father, she had a childhood stuffed with trips, press, and hockey - both exhausting and amazing.

She's convinced she won't like it, but Annabelle starts to love the city, like Jamie, make friends, and even fall for a boy. She tells herself it's temporary, since she'll be headed back to LA by September, but her dad gets his dream post-retirement job in Minnesota and she gets accepted for an exclusive sports journalism internship, so they're staying. Now Annabelle has a chance to make some more connections before she joins the "real world" and even make things happen with the boy she likes, but can she manage it all without getting lost in the adventure?

The Exiled Gem by Maplebell

Exiled from her own land - to be executed if she ever returns, Princess Alexandra finds herself turning a spy for the enemy. Because, well, they impress her. Especially the splendid emperor, who is indebted to Alexandra for a number of things he wouldn't tell. She doesn't mind that - because life just turns a lot more colorful outside the Palace walls - until one (not so) fine day, she realizes that the emperor no longer *only* impresses her. Unfortunately, the course of true love never runs smooth. And before she can even give herself a chance with Liam, Alexandra has to sort a few things out. Namely, all the mistakes the previous generation did. **The story starts from 339 B.C. but language used is completely modern because I don't know Ancient Greek**
