Elsie is a girl. And August is a boy.
But this isn't a girl meets boy story.
When an old family friend asks for a favour, Elsie wasn't exactly expecting his son August to move into her families New York penthouse. She also wasn't expecting him to look like a Burberry model, either. And she really wasn't expecting him to be a giant pain in her ass. Or to have a guitar case full of secrets.
But all the secrets in the world can't change the fact that Elsie just might be with the wrong guy.
And maybe, just maybe, August figures that out before even Elsie does.
Will he help her open her eyes? Or will he let her live her life playing pretend?
OooOOOOooOOoOOOOOOOooooh!
How mysterious. How romantic.
The suspense is KILLING me.
Literally.
But in all seriousness, I've started writing again because it seems to be the only time I'm not anxious, go figure! And I wanted to share that with you lovely humans. Or you might even be aliens. Whatever. I'm not one to discriminate.
Stay tuned Amigos, I'm predicting a bumpy ride.
But like, the Space Mountain kind, not the flat-tyre, deflated kind.
ANYWAYS,

Our Secret To Keep.
A delayed flight. A stranger at a hotel bar. A one night stand. Stranded in New York for an extra night than planned due to a delayed flight, I needed to find a way to keep myself occupied, and I soon found that something. It was easy enough when the handsome stranger introduced himself to me as Kade. It has been a while since I have had a hot one-night stand, and he reminds me how fun it can be. There are no questions, expectations or reasons to see one another again. What I don't expect is our night together to come around and bite me in the ass. When I arrive at a family dinner with my parents and two older sisters to celebrate my return home to Scotland, he is sitting right there with them. Not only is he my father's new business partner, but he is my sister's blind date set up by my parents. We pretend to be strangers because things would become complicated if we didn't. No one ever needs to know about what happened between us. My dad would freak out if he found out about us because he is overly protective of me as the youngest, and with the age gap between Kade and me, my father wouldn't approve. My relationship with my older sister is already strained; I don't need to make things worse between us. Even though he doesn't seem interested in her and he tries his best to show that it could still make all hell break lose. My sister hates losing. She always gets what she wants. I should stay away from him, but it is easier said than done with the tension and chemistry between us, and we struggle to fight against it. No matter what happens, it needs to be our secret to keep.![In Love with the Badass Gangster-Series 2 [R-18] | ✔](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/227562433-256-k962599.jpg)
In Love with the Badass Gangster-Series 2 [R-18] | ✔
In a world of neon lights, pounding bass, and nights that blur into mornings, she swears she's untouchable. Love is a curse she's learned to dodge, a poison she refuses to taste. Her life is simple: survive the chaos, drown the silence, and never let anyone close enough to matter. Then he appears-danger wrapped in a smirk, a disaster in human form. Everyone warns her about him, but fate has a twisted sense of humor. What starts as a game-one she thinks she controls-spirals into something deeper, darker, and far more dangerous. He won't leave her alone. She won't back down. And somewhere between the teasing, the tension, and the night after night of unresolved electricity, she starts to fall. But falling for him has a price. Because he isn't searching for love. He's searching for a cure-for someone to numb the chaos he carries like a second skin. And she refuses to become anyone's temporary fix. This is a story of two broken flames drawn to each other in the dark-burning bright, burning fast, burning wrong. A love they never wanted. A disaster they never saw coming. ----- [MUST READ!!: The photos I used on the book cover are not mine, and I just borrowed them.

I'm In Love With Me?
Why was there a boy in my room? There was a boy in my room! "Shoo, shoo." I whacked him with the umbrella as he backed up next to the window. All I did was make a wish. Just a few words I called a sentence and a few sentences I called a paragraph. How was I supposed to know that it would turn out like this. What even was this? I was him. He was me. We were...we? "How can I be you!" I shouted in panic. This wasn't making sense. He? Me? We're...us? "Because I'm you." He answered calmly and my mouth dropped open. Wait, what? "How can you be me and I, you?" I bellowed, confused. This was way too much for the little brain cells I had left. "You're a boy!" "Okay, now that's just being sexist." He stated, leaning against my book case with a grin on his face. What the hell was going on!? ************************** Lenna Adams was living no easy life. Her once perfect family was now in ruins.
