SUMMARY:
A nerdy curator. A worldly inventor. A sizzling affair.
Juniper Mills is a sassy, nerdy curator at the History Museum of Ann Arbor. Taking care of her mom and autistic twin, her life has been one big sacrifice for others. Work. Home. Repeat. Raised by her mother to hate men, she worries she will die alone with an army of cats and a lake of books.
Kyle Paxton is a handsome, robotic inventor of micro-cameras from San Francisco. To curb the dark memories of his ex-girlfriend who haunts him, he schedules dating and work with mechanical precision. Not looking for love, he only hooks up with Amazonian models.
Juniper and Kyle meet-cute when she is dangling forty feet from a museum scaffolding. Juniper falls hard for him, but knows getting him is going to be impossible. She manages to knock Kyle's world off its axis and their galaxies collide in this unfairy tale. And that is when the story really begins...
In the age of hookups, can love survive the test of time?

Stuck With Mr. Popular ( COMPLETED)
It took every ounce of my willpower not to reciprocate his kiss. Our lips moved in flawless synchrony. I trembled as I felt his tongue tracing my lower lip. My legs turned feeble, and I clutched his shirt for support. Suddenly, his hands released mine and firmly seized my waist, simultaneously drawing me closer. I could perceive the fervent heat emanating from his body. His heart throbbed rapidly beneath my hands. I withdrew my hand and exerted a forceful push to separate us. "Soaf... please," he implored, his azure eyes locked onto mine. "I... I have to go," I responded, taken aback by the unexpected situation. ************ Sophie Esinberg embodied the typical nerd, often seen with glasses perched on her nose and her arms clutching books tightly as she made her way through the school hallway. However, it wasn't always like this for Sophie. She used to be confident and outspoken. So, what changed her?

Newton needed an apple to discover the Law of universal attraction. I needed Alex Carter to discover the attraction. Alex Carter, THE BAD BOY. Do I need to say more? Probably not, because everyone knows him. He's the typical bad boy with bad behavior, leather jacket, and that dark aura that makes almost every girl drool over him, along with the fact that he is strong, handsome, with brown hair, tattoos, and a smolder look that can set you on fire. But he's also known for fighting, dealing drugs, vandalism, and so much more that make everyone fear him. He screams Danger. He is Danger. Me, Elena, on the other hand, I'm a nerd. Do I need to say more? Well, there isn't much to say. Nobody knows me. I'm invisible. I always play it safe and follow the rules. I have two friends, and I've been bullied several times because I'm shy, awkward, clumsy, and I have good grades, attributes that don't really help in high school. Everything separates us, or so it seems, yet an irresistible attraction pulls us together. People will say 'opposites attract', but maybe we have more in common than we've thought, and that's what draws us together... Like 2 free electrons, will our encounter result in a rare, beautiful, perfect balance, or will it cause a ravaging explosion?

𝓘𝓷𝓷𝓮𝓻 𝓓𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓷𝓼 - 𝓢𝔂𝓵𝓾𝓼
Lilith crosses paths with a man whose presence is impossible to ignore-broad-shouldered, quiet, and carrying an aura that unsettles everyone around him. To others, he's intimidating, someone to keep a careful distance from. But to her, the moment their eyes meet, something shifts. Her heart catches, and she feels an unexplainable pull toward him, as though fate itself had drawn their worlds together. She doesn't see the shadows he carries, the secrets buried deep within his silence. To her, he is mystery and allure, danger wrapped in beauty. What she doesn't yet know is that the man who just stole her breath is also the one hiding truths that could shatter her world. ------------------------------- Sylus was a man feared by many-an intimidating figure whose power and presence commanded every room he walked into. Cold, calculating, and untouchable, he built walls so high that no one dared to climb them. His life was one of control, where love had no place and vulnerability was a weakness he refused to show. But then she appeared. A young woman with a brightness that seemed to cut through his shadows, carrying warmth he didn't know he craved. Her laughter unsettled him, her kindness disarmed him, and her stubborn heart challenged the man who thought himself unchangeable. Where others saw only danger in him, she saw the pieces of someone worth saving. Against his instincts, he let her in. Slowly, she unraveled the darkness he carried, teaching him that love wasn't weakness-it was strength. And as she guided him onto a path he never thought he'd walk, he discovered that even the most powerful man can be humbled by the simplest truth: to be truly loved is to finally be free.Complete
