You're like the type of person people read about, never expecting to find." I start, my fingers beginning to trace his jawline softly. "Well maybe it's because you wrote me. Because you were waiting to me, I was destined to find my way back to you." He replies, his cool fingers running up my body soothingly.

Slow Beats
"Bright lights, guitar music, continuous dancing, fast cars and a stream of screaming, jostling admirers. For as long as I can remember that was my life. One moment, I was pounding to the pulsating beat of the city, then ...screech, thump and clunk... suddenly, it all came to a grinding halt. I still don't really know what hit me," muttered Logan to himself as he surveyed the black rubbish bags around him. Someone once said, "Sometimes you need to slow down to go fast." That someone obviously wasn't Logan and didn't live in Singapore--a fast-paced city that never sleeps. Figuring out how to slow down and survive would take Logan a long while.

I Hate Football Players 2 (under editing)
Finding relationships is easy... Keeping them is the real game. That's what I'm learning in my first one. It's not easy. Our rival schools are an hour apart, my best friend's turning secretive, my parents are controlling, and my brother's still an ass, gearing toward winning the state championship, and still doesn't like my boyfriend, Logan. I get it, they're rivals, and I kinda feel like Logan's team might be better but this season will decide. Being the star rival quarterback's girlfriend brings big rumors and big drama, especially when elements of our pasts resurface - his jaded ex whatevers, and the secrets I thought I'd buried and moved beyond. All of this while I just want to figure out where to go for college and what for. Some relationships will always stand the test of time and distance, while others crumble by the time the high school dust settles. I hope Logan and I are in the former because I'm falling hard for him. Really hard. Forever love hard. Story is ongoing with frequent updates. Please add it to your reading list!

Quiet
Whip: I've spent years keeping the rhythm while everyone else takes the spotlight. But on the side? I've been writing my own music in secret for years. Music that sounds like the real me. It's nothing like the polished rock anthems we play to sold-out stadiums. And I can't bring myself to share it. Because what if it's not enough? What if I'm not enough without the band? Jules: I wasn't looking for it. But when I hear Whip's music, it stops me cold. It's not just good. It's incredible. And he's hiding it, like it doesn't matter, like he doesn't matter. But I see him. There's so much more to him, a depth he doesn't let people see. And this music? It's him. But Whip has to make the choice himself. Stay in the background, keep playing it safe... or finally take the risk and step into his own spotlight.Complete
Crossing the Lines

Getting caught at the wrong place at just the right time throws Hannah into a whole new world that she never knew about. A world that causes her to cross every line possible.

When a drug deal in America goes awry, he's forced to cross the line, and border, by kidnapping a witness and holding her hostage in Sicily. The question is, should lines ever be crossed?Complete
