He was her first love and 'never'... She will be his last and 'forever'.

***

Tessa Maxfield has always been the smart one because she couldn't be the pretty one or the cool one. And she's fine with that. The upside of being smart is not making stupid decisions like she did as a kid, falling in love with her older brother's best friend. She outgrew that and could still outsmart it now.

Jake Hastings has always been a playboy because he could be so why not? But his best friend's rash wedding and fairytale marriage has left him wondering if he could have more. The downside to his notorious reputation is that when he unexpectedly finds the girl he can't live without, she won't believe him. He burned that bridge a long time ago and she's not letting him build a new one now.

Can two people who want so much of what they're afraid of find their way through first loves and second chances to finally find each other?

***
This is a spin-off from The Mischievous Mrs. Maxfield. It can be read standalone but I would highly recommend reading the original book first before this one for a lot more context and extra scenes.

Hollywood Remake (A Celebrity Love Story) by adam_and_jane

Kate Morgan walked out on her boyfriend seven years ago, without so much as a backward glance. She had no idea he'd go on to become the notorious Aidan Sands, Hollywood 'It' Boy and frequent flier of the celebrity gossip columns. Now Aidan's back in the picture, trying to rekindle the past - and neither of them can shake the feeling that they're trapped inside some formulaic Hollywood chick flick. He's an LA heartthrob with impulse-control issues, who always gets caught with his pants down in the most embarrassing places. She's an uptight Manhattan workaholic who can't stand that he's already co-starred with every leading lady in town. Can these two produce a remake that's better than the original? Or are romantic comedies a lot less funny when you're living them in real life? Copyright © 2014 All Rights Reserved Note: This is an original novel.

When Stars Burn by ninyatippett

Love is a scorching trail she's afraid to follow... *** Star Matthews knows what she wants in life: everything that her current one isn't. She made tough decisions to get to where she is now and the last thing she wants is the beautiful complication that is Julian Wilde, Prescott University's most notorious playboy who just happened to be proving his reputation to her roommate when Star first met him. Thrown together every day in close proximity, Star fights her distracting attraction to Julian who insists that there's more to her than what she shows the world, and that he wants it, all of it, the good, the bad, the beautiful and the broken. When her sins come to light, proving she is no bright star after all, will Julian stand by her side or will he walk away before she can burn him heart and soul? *** Copyright © 2015 by Nina Tippett.

Protecting Love (LarssonSiblingSeries #3) by HTEllis

BOOK THREE. DUE FOR MAJOR EDIT For the last year, Betty Larsson has been trying to rebuild her shattered confidence, promising herself that she would never touch a man again after her ex-boyfriend ripped her heart out from her chest so cruelly. From the outside looking in, her life seemed perfect with a budding music career, legions of devoted fans and a debut album that hit number one in thirty-two countries overnight. What more could a girl want? Stability. Trust. Love. Fierce, protective and loyal, Finn Moretti is a born fighter. In his youth, he ankle locked and knee barred men into submission for a fat cheque, but now he's following an up and coming pop star around like a goddamn lost puppy. One hot, sweet and all-consuming pop star. Finn has one objective in his mission to look after Betty Larsson: take out the enemy. In the midst of success, inhibition dropped giving the faceless predator behind the screen the perfect opportunity to strike out. Neither expected to feel so trapped in each other's webs, and there is no denying the connection. But, it's not in either's best interests to start something they can't finish, or is it? *This book is not a standalone. Please read Love in the Dark and A Lazy Love first for some plot lines to make sense. ☺️* Larsson Sibling Series reading order: Love in the Dark - Book One A Lazy Love - Book Two Protecting Love - Book Three All rights reserved. ©2017 HT.Ellis

Magi: Sindria's Prophet by MoriMakesFanart

I got Isekaied into Magi. Having read the complete manga many times I know what the future holds and there's no way I'm going to let it happen. I'm going to use what I know to change the ending. Sinbad may be a comfort character for me but I know the person he becomes in the end. I'll do everything in my power to convince him to become a better person. Holding my own against his flirting might just be the hardest part. This is illustrated and sometimes there are comics. It is not in full color like the cover tho cause I don't have time for that. ((I marked this as mature because there will be on screen sex eventually. It is a slow burn so until then the most the happens will be in fantasies that the characters have.)) *Edited to add: I am ASD, and nonbinary genderfluid, normally fem presenting. This is a self-insert x Canon fic. Sinbad's attraction to women includes all fem presenting. & Since apparently this needs to be said: trans women are women. So if you can't handle that don't read this.
