Keeping Secrets (Book I)✔️
"I knew if I wanted a relationship, I should find someone else. But I didn't want anyone else and I still don't." I managed to take his arm from around my waist without waking him up. Sighing with relief I was about to move closer to the edge of the bed but he grabbed me again, muttering something in his half asleep state. I tried to release his grip again but he woke up, grinning as soon as he seen me. His sleepy blue eyes looked at me. "Where are you going?" his grin widened. "I have to go." I whispered quietly, looking around the room. I really did have to go, I was supposed to be staying away from him wasn't I? The sun hadn't come up yet, it was still in the early hours of the morning. "Don't go." He groaned, pulling me in closer and squeezed my waist. I could sense his smile as he kissed my forehead. I didn't know what to do, his arms were more than inviting and I really didn't need a lot of convincing but I was starting to get tired of this secret thing again.

Lovesick
"I think I'm going to be sick," I mutter, numbingly watching the newlyweds as they seal the deal of being legally bound. My stomach twists in protest. Kehlani Moore is not your typical seventeen-year-old. She hated the idea of love. Maybe not all love-she still believed in the kind her dad had for her and her brother, Brock-but romantic love? That was a different story. Her mother had left their family without a real reason, simply claiming she didn't feel like she was in the right place. That had been the first blow. Her last relationship had been the second. It all added up to the conclusion that love was a game, one she refused to play anymore. She's come to the grand conclusion that she better start collecting her cats like yesterday. On a summer trip to visit her grandmother, Kehlani and her best friend end up crashing a wedding-thanks to a mischievous suggestion from her nan. There, she unexpectedly crosses paths with someone she hasn't seen in two years. A reckless, but undeniably gorgeous decision standing in front of her once again-this time, saving her from being kicked out. But when the same guy moves in next door just a week later, Kehlani finds herself in deeper waters than she ever anticipated.
The Vipers Temptation | Completed
After a failed attempt at a relationship, I try to make it on my own. However, I end up with a new neighbor who exudes charm, danger, and sexual energy as if it's a job. To make matters worse, I find myself semi-kidnapped by the same dangerous, foul-mouthed, rude neighbor who turns out to be a part of the Italian Mafia. Now, I'm stuck riding shotgun while being chased by gun-wielding maniacs on our way to someplace "safe." I'm beginning to think this is my new reality. *Trigger Warning* Graphic violence, explicit mature scenes, and non-consensual touching (not from the main love interest).Complete

Chasing Charming ✔️
Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.Complete
