Everything Bobbi Grace Thompson does is for her mother, who had sadly passed away in a car accident when Bobbi was just four. Since then it has always been herself, her father Lucas and her late mother's flower shop, Gracious Gardens.
Everything is going well for her until Roberto Moretti comes into her life. He's a typical bad boy, but there's always a reason why bad boys become bad boys, right?
Bobbi stops trying to be his friend after he destroys her mother's shop; her father forgives him, with the stipulation that he repairs the damage he caused, but Bobbi is furious that the beautiful shop she was supposed to have inherited has been ruined - so she works with him.
Roberto perceives her to be 'perfection' and is jealous of her 'perfect' life, but when he sees it's just a facade... will it be for good or bad?
On a journey full of drama, secrets and tears, and once they get to know each other, Bobbi Grace and Roberto learn much more than the struggles of how to build a flower shop.

Beneath the veil
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We stepped out of the car and in front of us was a beautiful field of flowers. Why did he bring me here? "Do you see this?" "They look beautiful, how did I not know about this earlier?" They were a beautiful orange, reddish color, and didn't fit the ominous air of the town at all. Will almost looked sad with my reaction to the flowers: "Those are poppy flowers, Claire." I still looked at him with many questions, not understanding the bad thing about flowers. "We grow these many poppy flowers," he explained, "because they are the main ingredient for heroin, it's the entire reason my family and I moved here to this little shit town, it's the perfect and place to grow them." I didn't know how to react to this and I also didn't know how this would scare me off, which, I think, he was trying to do. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Claire's life is turned upside down when she bumps into the new boy, Will, at her school. People warn her about him, saying he's dangerous but they refuse to tell her why. Even though all the negative things said about him, she can't seem to stay away from him. When she discovers his dangerous secret, she has to make an important choice, because how far will she go for love? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Complete

Sweetheart
[COMPLETE] 18+ (but if you're not 18, I won't tell on you) --- It had been a mistake. It had all happened so fast. The look on her parents' faces when they found out had been devastating. Perhaps that was why she didn't complain when they decided to send her to a small village in Canada, away from the chaotic and luxurious Los Angeles, with the excuse of being an exchange student for a year. Grace Castle was more than happy to welcome Elizabeth "Lizzie" Wright in her modest house, along with her son Nate and, well, Aaron. It had been 2 years since Grace had taken in the troubled 18-year-old boy, after the tragedy that had occurred to him and his family. Dark and untamable like smoke, Aaron was the exact opposite of Lizzie, groomed to be the perfect woman, always following the rules, and stepping out of line only that one time. One time that cost her a year away from her old city, far away from curious ears and judging eyes. A year that was going to change her life completely, tumbling into a den of lions ready to devour her as soon as they had her in their pack as one of their own. He would not let her have it easy. It was time for sweet, docile Lizzie to face the world and its snakes. He'd make sure of that. Though... was he sure she was not just yet another wolf in a sheep's clothing? Was her heart as pure as he believed, or could it be shaded with swirls of gray smoke like his? ---Complete
Matters Of The Heart ✔
This is a sequel to 'Unrequited Love' but can be read as a stand alone. --- "Seriously? An animal zoo?" I ask her incredulously. "Why do you guys have to call it animal zoo? Of course, zoo consists of animals only." she replies in a 'duh' tone. "You could qualify for one as well." I say eyeing her unicorn onesie. "Why? Oh right, because man is a social animal, too." she says thoughtfully with a cute frown between her brows. "You're lame, bambi." I playfully roll my eyes at her. "Pft. Still you love me." she says rolling her beautiful green eyes back at me. Silence surrounds us as soon as those words escape her mouth and she bites her lip. My eyes follow her movement and she swallows hard. "I-I am so-" she stutters with wide eyes frantically looking from left to right. "You're right, bambi. I do." I whisper, cutting her off, with a ghost of a smile tugging at my lips. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eliza Avenetti changed schools after her best friend Nicholas De Luca moved to Italy to live with his grandparents.
