After joining the U.S. Marines,  getting shot three times, and beat up in the Indian jungle, doesn't a girl deserve some peace? Ex-Marine Lyra Collins comes back from a  two-year tour in India a war hero with a purple heart, and some battle scars. So when she comes home to L.A. to find that her forgetful mother unsurprisingly didn't remember to pick her up from the airport, trekking to the nearest payphone isn't exactly making her a happy camper. Running into a guy she thinks is crazy just fuels the fire. He claims to be a superstar, and instantly falls for her when she doesn't bow to him.

      Thinking he's crazy and wants to help him, she agrees to go to his mansion. But what happens when he is who he said he is, a newly famous A-list actor  Ashton Banks who became well-known while she was overseas? Far more limelight than a recovering war hero needs. Can Ashton convince the jaded ex-soldier he's worth the risk? Or will an assassin chasing them both prove too much for Lyra and Ashton's relationship?

*Unedited first draft. Will be heavily revised and edited later.*

#13 in kotlc She only smiled up at him wading out deeper into the water. "I'm gonna go deeper than you," she teased. "In the water, or in our relationship?" He flirted back, taking after her. Sophie didn't think before she spoke. "Maybe both," she blurted, feeling her cheeks grow hot. Covering up her embarrassment although he could feel it anyway, she went deeper, only her toe tips touching the sand.

So when Tanesha Ashton gets kidnapped and gets to know the gruesome plans her captors has in store for her...and there's no sign of her father coming to the rescue, she knows she has only two options. Either sit still and allow her captors to kill her, or find a way to escape. She goes with the second option because Tanesha Ashton didn't roll over for anyone! Little did she know that there was no such thing as leaving the grips of the notorious gang ZONKAI, alive. Lt. Tyler Tyron Wesley is a Navy SEAL. The best amongst his squad. He loved the action, the excitement and the thrill of getting the bad guys. So when he's called upon to go on a very important mission, he's thrilled. But when he's told that his assignment was to infiltrate an enemy camp, stay undercover, babysit the daughter of a very prominent person, and then rescue her from the grips of the dreaded ZONKAI, he's livid. Not only was Ty not a babysitter, but he just didn't have the patience to pretend to be part of a gang who had murdered his colleague. But his country needed his service. And he didn't have any choice but to serve. What happens when these two spirited people find themselves together? How do they take it when they begin to have intense feelings for each other? Can they fight the attraction? Do they even want to? (Cover by the amazing SuperSonicPaGer)
Gilded Obsession by PebblesPebblesPebs
49 parts Complete Mature
Alexandria Evergreen, a bored heiress to her dearest father's hotel empire with a penchant for justice on her own terms and too much time on her hands, lives a life of luxury and moral ambiguity. Behind her poised façade lies a dangerous secret: she quite enjoys seeing the life leave the eyes of abusive and perverted men - and the occasional woman - who believe themselves untouchable, operating in the shadows of high society. Clarke Griffin, a struggling law student in her final year, is barely holding her life together. Clarke has just landed an internship at a prestigious law firm, a position she fought hard for. Now all she wants is to graduate, pass the bar exam, and start building her career, following in the footsteps of her late father. From the moment Alexandria lays eyes on a stunning Clarke, she's obsessed. What could possibly go wrong when one is morally grey at best, entirely unhinged and a walking red flag at worst and the other embodies everything Alexandria isn't - pure, principled, and committed to the legal system? I'll be putting trigger warnings below, and I will add to the list as new potential triggers become relevant in the story. Always feel free to let me know if I have missed any. TW: Strong language, blood and gore, murder, sexual content, mature themes, violence, mentions of abuse (of all kinds), sexism, torture, mention of drugs, mention of suicide, absolute toxic, obsessive, and unhinged behavior.

He hissed as the alcohol touched his bleeding wound and he grabbed my hand. His touch ignited a flame and I knew that later I might have to treat myself for burns. "I'm sorry, did that hurt?" I asked, softly. I tried to calm my breathing as I did so, he was so close. The years that I spent staying away from his kind weren't paying off. "No," He retorted sarcastically, still holding onto my hand. "I hissed because I'm a snake. Of course that hurt, pumpkin." His comment awakened several buried memories, but I ignored them and continued to work on his wound. "Could you please let go of my hand now?" I muttered. He smirked and shook his head. "Do I scare you?" he asked, completely ignoring my question. Even though he did scare me, he scared me completely biscuit-less, I rose my head up and shook my light brown waves. "Absolutely, not." ************************ Gemma Reynolds is an an overworked nurse and probably one of the most innocent and pure people you will ever meet. Her life consists of a simple and constant routine, wake up early, workout, go to work, eat , sleep and listen to her mother criticize her about not having a boyfriend or husband. She has always been hidden in the shadows and even in high school she preferred to stay away from anyone living or breathing, especially Mr. Wyatt Evans. When Wyatt comes into the hospital battered, bruised and bleeding, one night, Gemma is to take care of him. Through several long nights at the hospital, dangerous hide outs and intricate explanations, Gemma figures out that there is more to life than her simple routine and maybe nursing the bad boy isn't as bad as it seems.
