***PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A 1D FANFIC***
Auri was never one to be in the know, despite who her Guardian was or where she worked.
She barely knew the names of the stars, even though she'd write songs with them or teach them choreography or acting or singing. She wasn't phased by the fame and fortune, or blinded by the good-looks, or dazzled by the charming smiles.
No. She just wrote songs, danced, and taught.
One thing she'd never though she'd be doing?
Managing.
After her guardian, Marshall King, and the CEO of White Star Talent Agency, asks her to manage a hot British boyband, she tries to refuse. But, she's dragged over to meet them and has to give it a try.
What she didn't realize until it was too late was that it was a trap. Though, after she figured everything out she didn't understand why she was chosen to be there manager when she was seventeen with no experience. But, after she spends her first day with them, Marshall makes it clear to her the true mission behind this:
She has to teach them, and herself, what it's like to be normal.

Disaster-in-Waiting NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY ON AMAZON
WARNING R-RATED Disaster-in-Waiting was a dream come true for me. Firstly writing it and then sharing it on here and receiving such a wonderful response to it. It was because of the support and encouragement on here that I finally took the decision to self-publish as an e-book. It is available on Amazon and can be read for free on there with Kindle Unlimited. ****Mature audience only due to adult themes; sex, language and situations**** Eloise Ross is married to Michael, her much older and recently retired husband. He fills his days with golf and walking the dog, while she fills her days working as a newly appointed P.A. to the CEO of an international company. One night, disillusioned with her sexless marriage she goes out alone, drinks beer and dances with a handsome stranger. The moves on the dance floor quickly lead to passion and excitement like El has never known, but it was only one night, one time. Just that once couldn't mean anything, could it? Just that once changed her view on everything she'd ever thought she'd known or valued; her home, family, husband and marriage, but most of all herself. As her life begins to unravel, with twists and turns that make her laugh, cry and despair El has only one constant to hang onto, her handsome stranger. "Because I don't want to end it. I'm not exactly what you'd call experienced," I said with a warm flush creeping up my cheeks. "I thought everything I had, with Michael was an ideal life until that night, when I met you and something switched inside me, a realisation that it was as far from ideal as anything ever could be. I don't think I'm being clear here, sorry. I am not trying to pin my happiness or the consequences of this on you, God, I don't even call you by your first name so to expect anything of you is not realistic!"Complete

It Started With Hello
***** Emma Pear knew she wasn't the most popular girl in high school. Her nose was usually buried in a textbook, and her grades were as spotless as her reputation for always following the rules. "Nerd" was a label she'd long since embraced. Her parents, determined to keep her on the straight and narrow, packed her schedule with violin lessons, shifts at the local animal shelter, and tutoring sessions for elementary school kids. Emma barely had time to breathe, let alone experience "normal" teenage rites of passage like parties, late-night hangouts, or even just goofing off with friends. So when the captain of the football team-the captain-unexpectedly asked her to the school dance, Emma saw a glimmer of a different life. She practically begged her parents, and to her shock, they actually said yes. She had no idea that one night, under the glittering lights of the gym, would rewrite her entire story. Blake Black was the kind of high school loner who radiated an almost magnetic quiet. Girls whispered about him in the halls, drawn to his mysterious aura and the fact that he rarely spoke to anyone. Most of his time was spent wrangling his hyper little brother, Alex. Their parents, a brain surgeon and a heart doctor, were perpetually busy, leaving little time for their growing boys. His parents made it clear attending the school dance wasn't optional. They just wanted him to "act like a normal high schooler" for a few hours. Blake's plan was simple: show his face, then ditch the minute he decently could. He brushed off a parade of hopeful girls, already counting down the minutes until he could escape. But then he saw what happened to Emma. And unlike everyone else, he couldn't just stand by and watch.Complete
Rich People Problems
As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.

DANCING WITH VAMPIRES?!
If you found out that you had to sacrifice yourself for the lives of a blood-thirsty clan, would you do it? What if you were a human who ate, slept, and breathed the art of dance, and one day...you met a guy who shared the same passion, but he just didn't seem "normal." Would you be afraid? What if you found out that the guy was a creature that you've only experienced through books and movies? And...what if you were the human who ended up falling for him? What if you found out that half of the things in your life were complete lies and that you were tied to a curse that started centuries ago? *** Hazel Amor is an aspiring dancer slated to attend Damsel Dance Academy, a prestigious school that she's always wanted to be a part of. On her first day, she meets Maeve Adelman, a second-year student who informs of Madam Gia (the most intense but best dance teacher of the school). Maeve warns Hazel of the equally intense--if not more--favorite student of Madam, Mitrik Everit. He's tall and pale, with dark eyes and dark hair to match. His serious and mysterious demeanor make the girls swoon over him, but they're too afraid to approach him. Why? There's something not right about Mitrik, which is something that Hazel instantly senses on the first day of class. Well, I think it might be very obvious what Mitrik is, but will Hazel find out about that part of his life before it's too late? BOOK ONE: Dancing with Vampires BOOK TWO: The Ash ClanComplete
Dear Richie
Cover done by the all-time amazing and fabulous @Amelia_collins_. "Maybe one day you'll realize how much you mean to me." One day she had it all. The best friend. The unforgettable memories. The soccer talent. The naive life. But that changed when she went to high school. Enter Leia Meadows. She isn't the brightest girl in school, but that doesn't stop her from pushing herself. She thought freshman year was going to be a blast, with her sophomore friend Annaleigh Rushman by her side. As luck would have it, Leia came into high school without a single friend, Annie having moved on to bigger and better things. But just when she thinks it could get worse, she bumps into Chris "Richie" Richards, a sophomore who just so happens to be one of the most popular kids in school. Cue romantic music. Yup, as cliche as it sounds, Leia falls head over heels in love with Richie, feeling the impulse to write him letters. Despite the trouble she's heading into, she believes that maybe, just maybe, he could be the solution to all of her problems. But, oh, just when Leia thinks she has him, he gets a date. And that's not even the best part. (Note the sarcasm). After a whole year, she thought she had it all under control. She was badly mistaken. Enter...all of the cruel bullies and helpless bystanders. Poor, naive Leia has to go through the next three years being terribly teased, beaten, and harassed by other kids in school. Will she ever make it through high school alive? °°°°°°°°°°°°°°° I'd like to note that this may sound cheesy, and I'm sorry if so. But, please, don't let that stop you from reading. This story is for all those who have ever been bullied, whether it was verbal, physical, cyber, or what have you. I hope you enjoy this book and are able to connect with Leia as a character.Complete

Quick side note: This book was originally named 'The Bad Boy, The Secret, and Me' and was renamed to its current title as of 27/04/2018 for existing/re-readers. It is not a werewolf/alpha story but simply my first book on here which started quite cliche from a young writer's perspective (so please do excuse my mistakes during your time reading).
