Wicked Little Words
They promised it was just fun. No strings. No feelings. So why does it feel like everything? At twenty-two, Sloane doesn't have room in her life for heartbreak. Between nursing school, long CNA shifts, and raising her daughter, she barely has time to breathe-let alone fall for someone. So when Braden, a friends boyfriends cocky, charming best friend, makes it clear he's only in it for fun, Sloane agrees. It's safe. Easy. Exactly what she needs. Until it isn't. Because somewhere between the stolen looks, mind-blowing sex and late-night banter, Sloane starts to want more. And without realizing it, so does Braden. But Braden has ghosts that won't stay buried. And when the girl he once claimed to love whispers a lie that cuts too deep, he doesn't just believe it-he uses it to break Sloane in the cruelest way. By the time the truth comes out, Sloane's heart is in ruins, and Braden's the one left bleeding. He never meant to fall for her. He never meant to lose her, either. Now he's ready to fight for the only woman he's ever really loved. But some promises can't be undone. And Sloane might be the one thing Braden can't win back.Complete

A Heart's Long Journey
A love built over a lifetime. A separation that left nothing but scars. And a truth that was never meant to be found. Nate and Keen grew up together, believing there was nothing in the world strong enough to tear them apart. They were best friends. Family. And eventually, something neither of them could deny-a love that had quietly followed them from childhood into adulthood. Then, one night, everything changed. Nate disappeared, leaving Keen behind with unanswered questions, broken promises, and a heart that refused to let him go. Years pass. Keen has learned to live with the absence of the person he once believed would always be beside him. Until Nate returns. Alive. Changed. Standing at the center of a life Keen no longer recognizes. What should have been a second chance at the love they lost instead becomes the beginning of something far more dangerous. Because Nate isn't the only one hiding the truth. Behind their families' wealth and power lies a history of betrayal, revenge, violence, and secrets buried so deeply that uncovering them could destroy everything they thought they knew about themselves-and each other. As the past begins to surface, Nate and Keen are forced to confront the one question neither of them is prepared to answer: How do you love someone when the truth between you could destroy you both? Some loves survive distance. Some survive betrayal. But some have to survive the truth first.![Ripped [TO BE PUBLISHED 2016]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/9131479-256-k595353.jpg)
