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?

Bad Boys
{COMPLETED} Kyle was just Kyle. No last name, no family, no past. It was simple that way. Or at least it was easier than being Daniel, who cared too much to be anything but a coward. Kyle got decent cash from his side job, flunked classes on purpose, and had unlimited access to all the booze and drugs he could ask for. Was he a horrible person? Yes. Did he deserve to get busted? Definitely. Did he hate himself for it? Absolutely. But none of that mattered. Girls made for decent enough distractions as long as he drank himself to oblivion beforehand. And that was his plan. Go to the party, get shitfaced, get laid. Simple, just like Kyle. But he never anticipated a certain blue-eyed ghost to sit next to him and talk (flirting he could handle, talking was a different story, uncharted territory). And when the cops showed, he didn't think twice about hauling his ass up and booking it. The blue-eyed ghost was the idiot who stayed in the grass and let the cops slap cuffs on her. So it wasn't really his fault, but then again it was. And maybe that's why he said yes to her crazy, illegal proposal. Or maybe he just missed living. #1 in brokenpast #1 in fosterkid #14 in badboys #18 in bucketlist "It's something very different.

King of Her Desire
She's rich, she's famous, she's twice his age--and she can make him a star. Should homeless teen Shoni King leave the family that needs him and the girl who loves him for her fast lane life? EDITORS PICK, JULY 2021, NARomance Awards SHORTLIST 2021. Elliott Weston, who went from child star to pop star before dropping out of the "business of show" years ago, thinks Shoni has the looks and smarts to make it big. And she's willing to share him with the world and the "other woman," Xochitl, if she must. But Shoni, who has worked hard to keep food on his family's table for most of his young life, is an old soul not easily fooled by "smoke and mirrors." Elliott fascinates him-she's worldly, wild and wonderfully "well-preserved" for her age. And, as a natural caretaker, he's also concerned by her failing health. But he loves the saner, simpler world he comes from--and a Native woman from across the border who adores him deeply and selflessly just as he is. He's standing on the edge of stardom, but should he take that leap? (MATURE--sexual content)Complete
Brie and Claire
"You have secrets." "I do not." "Yes you do, and I'm going to find out what they are." Claire finds herself joining Brie on an unexpected journey, one that she had never imagined to be a part of, when all she was expecting was a boring roommate. Her mundane life from working at a thrift store changes dramatically, when her path collides with Brie's. The two hadn't met since freshman year of high school, and hadn't realised how different they each were from their teenage selves. How their ambitions, passions, and stories had changed, and what life had in hold for the two. Claire, an exceptionally gifted artist, was always eager to put her skills to use. The question is, would she still want to, if she was to rob a gallery. And as for Brie, her story couldn't possibly be put into a single sentence. Are they fearless enough to face the malice of the world? Are they desperate enough to pull off a heist? Are they insatiable enough to fall in love?

Caught In Your Chaos ✓
| WATTPAD INDIA AWARDS 2021 SHORTLIST | Like a moth to the flame, Amy finds herself drowning in Jake's chaos, and it doesn't even make sense how she's ready to do anything to see that sun-kissed smile on his face. She is his peace when he is everything that sets her heart and soul in a hurricane. And just like that, all her plans to have a peaceful college life go down the drain. The moment she looks into his black orbs, she finds herself losing in the hands of a guy her mom strictly forbade her to get involved with ever. Who knew four years of college life would become everything she should have never sought for, but also, something she always wanted to, with all her heart. Jake is stubborn, arrogant, and a lot more mysterious about himself than Amy can handle. He is also passionate, an artist with a paintbrush that can create masterpieces and depressed in ways no one bothers to know, except Amy. Amy is undeniably attracted to him. But Jake harbors enough regrets from the past to never seek the light Amy has to offer. Amy slowly manages to break through the walls of redemption Jake has created around himself. But she can never change the fact that our mistakes run deep than any other feeling. When shadows of past mistakes start drowning Jake into a dark pit of chaos, Amy might be his one chance to seek light, his silver lining, and love that can heal the ugliest of scars. But is he willing to heal? Or is it simply too late for him? Cover by @krisstheticComplete
