We've all heard about 'the main character'. The type of person who lives through the most dramatic and improbable situations, and finds the kind of epic romance you only see in works of fiction. Which makes you think about how unrealistic love like that is. I used to think the same thing until I met him. Until I met 'the bad boy' that, as it turns out, wasn't that bad at all, just simply...a boy. A boy with an easy smile, a charming personality and looks so enticing that I couldn't keep my eyes off of him if I tried. A boy whose shoulders were starting to slump with the weight of his past and his family. A boy who believed that the only way to survive was by putting a lock on his heart and chaining it down to a place so deep inside of him that no one could ever reach it again. A boy who, for reasons I'll never comprehend, placed the key inside my palm and didn't shy away when I tried to free his hidden heart from its restraints. A boy who made me the main character of my own story. A story I never want to forget, and which begged to be put on paper. This is that story. ~~~ #1 love triangle 8/26/2019 #1 teen romance 11/4/2019 #1 mystory 7/27/2020 #1 teen drama 9/9/2020 #1 goodgirl 9/12/2020 Cover by @alexandramar1e Contains swearing and mature language.Complete

Dangerous Affection
I know my daughter better than I know myself and if there's one thing I know for sure at this moment: it's that Maisie is not ok. My ex-husband Shaun and I are still friends. We would do anything for our beautiful little girl, Maisie. But now Shaun has moved in with Joanne and suddenly, Maisie has a brand new family. And there's something not quite right about it...I know Joanne isn't everything she says she is. Yet no-one will listen. I need to discover what she's hiding. Because if I don't, my daughter will be in terrible danger. Hey dear reader, This is a republished and edited version of "Dangerous Affection" which was first published on 22nd June 2020 and completed on 24th August 2020. Due to the grammatical errors and plot holes which were, honestly speaking, very brutally pointed out by the readers I had on this book when it got first published, I needed to unpublish it and edit all the grammatical errors and develop plot of the story which has taken me forever to complete. Finally, I have republished fine edited version today. I haven't completely republished it yet. There are still few chapters left which are completely edited,but, I need to rigorously read through all of it to find out if I have left something unattended or anything. So, I will republish rest of those chapters in immediate future. Most of the chapters are longer,but,a few of them are shorter because I want to keep the thrill of the scenes alive without ruin anything. I am pretty sure that you won't be either regret or disappointed with deciding to give this book of mine a chance. Because of this book is being republished there won't be any author's note that you can typically see on other stories, which once this story had before it got unpublished. With that being said, kindly give this book of mine a chance and vote and comment on every chapter you feel the need to do so. Cordially, Nathan,. 2nd March 2021Complete
