It doesn't take much to make Eliza Parker happy really. She's an aspiring author in the heart of New York that couldn't even imagine the gifts she has to offer to the world with her incredible talents. Give her a good book and a decent place to read and she could lose herself in a million different stories. Eliza's biggest weakness however, is her inability to refrain from assigning herself to those who needed someone to listen, love and understand them.... even if they don't know it yet.
I guess that's what made Grayson such a worthy prospect. It could have been his absolute disdain for all things that didn't involve his motorcycle and a cup of coffee, or his incredible knack of getting into illegal situations. Odds are it was his heart stopping smile and stormy grey eyes that always seemed to make Eliza forget what she was really getting herself into. Which was a whole lot of trouble and a whole lot of fun all hidden within the web of unmasked secrets...

Someone Like Adam
"You know, it won't physically hurt you to be nice for once." I crossed my arms in front of my chest and groaned. "I don't want to take a chance." the corner of his lips lifted a little as he finished his sentence. "Well, you don't hear me complaining. The view of a someone so desperately working out is not a delight either." I retorted in a weary voice. "I bet it isn't." he narrowed his eyes at me and commented. Ugh.. Why is he so damn annoying? "You know what, just take your arrogant ass out of my room." I scowled at him, pointing towards the door. With small steps, he walked towards me. I took a step backwards when he neared me. He was invading my personal space, making me a bit flustered. The urge to push back his golden-brown hair covering his forehead was increasing with every passing second. "Gladly." he mumbled against my face and then walked past me out of my room. It took me a minute to calm down my racing heartbeat. ... He was a mystery, an enigma I wanted to solve. He was exhausting, he was infuriating, yet staying away from him was not an option. He was making me feel things I haven't felt before. Adam McArdle! Who are you and what are you doing to my poor little heart? ... #1 in GENERAL FICTION (23-05-2019) #1 in CHICKLIT (21-07-2019)Complete
More Than A Pretty Face |completed|
Emma Reese's main worries used to be homework, feeding her cat and being able to find her Friends reruns in the DVR. That was until she decides to do something nice for the world, something you'd think she'd be rewarded for, but it seems karma was broken that day for when she offers to lock up the school library after hours she's stormed by five teenage delinquent boys. She thinks she has them bested as she runs away from the still unlocked library when once again life throws her another curveball. Rounding the corner on her way to her gran's house when the dark, mysterious, and somewhat handsome boy she thought she escaped cuts her off. Then, you know what they say; you can't ever just have one potato chip, Mr. Mysterious's friend magically appears not only stealing her backpack but also her freedom. They decide it'd be difficult to hide her body so what's the next best thing? kidnapping. Emma's whisked away from her simpleton life into one of what seems like life in a can. She's never felt more trapped yet somehow free. Carter Tyler is a delinquent. A high schooler who'd somehow managed to work hard enough to graduate a year earlier than Emma and all of his crime thirsty friends even though he was the same age. His first time in the school library after four years of high school he thought would be boring, indifferent if you will. Instead, he somehow ends up home with a seemingly crazy girl and missing his first kiss. In Carter's eyes Emma, who had convinced him her name was Valerie, was weird beyond belief, yet he was somewhat drawn to her. He sees Emma as a judgmental nun who assumes that just because he's been to Juvie a time or two, hasn't ever kissed a girl. That just because he could have any girl in the school that he wanted, had never been on a date. He thought Emma saw him for his looks only, and for some odd reason, he wanted her to see him as more. He wanted to show her he had a heart along with Calvin Klein looks. That he was more than a pretty face.Complete

Love & Law
"I don't even remember how we really got talking." I asked, after he didn't say anything back. "You were at our table." "Well duh, I just mean I just remember choosing you to talk to. The other guys were so lame." Elliot looked at me like I was crazy. "Uh... what?" "I chose you." He said, and my heart skipped a beat. What did he mean? He obviously didn't do this often with a girl, because saying a phrase like that is not to be taken lightly in a girl's mind. I wondered how much of what he said he realized the emotional intent behind the words, or if he just spoke without really thinking what I, or any girl, would see it as. He had to know that girls read into things way more than guys, but something about him made me think that he did know what he was saying, but maybe not realizing the repercussions until later. I could tell he easily let his guard down with me. "What do you mean?" "You said you chose me, but I chose you. I saw you and started to talk to you first." "Oh." And again, I was a complete idiot because I should have asked him to expand, and tell me what he meant or to tell me more, but I didn't. I didn't because I was scared I would show too much emotion. ------------------------------------- Leece is new to Texas, running from her past and wanting to take control of her own future. Elliot is a new Texas attorney whose sole focus is making money and making a name for himself. Then one night, they meet. It so happened that for the first time in her life she wasn't looking for a guy and he actually chose to talk to her first, which he never did. She was about love. He was about law. Love was about giving in, and he refused. Law is about control and she was uncontrollable. What a story they made.Complete

The Badass Nerd
"What the hell did you do!?" I heard a feminine voice behind me. I groaned and turned around to meet a very angry face. I have never seen a girl this pissed before and honestly speaking, I am a little bit afraid. "She knew what she was getting into. Everyone knows I am player and I never stick to one girl." I shrugged and turned around to walk away. I didn't even take one step when I felt a firm hand on my t-shirt. She took a fist full of my shirt and turned me around so I was facing her. She then held my collar. Damn, she is almost the same height as me and if I would have been any normal guy, I would be terrified of her. "You don't treat girls like trash, asshole. She has feelings, she is not some toy that you got bored from after playing for a while. Apologize to her." She said through gritted teeth pointing towards Leah who was crying her eyes out. I noticed the crowd that started forming around us. I shrugged her hand away from my t-shirt and glared at her. "I will not apologize to anyone." I said slowly through gritted teeth. She is starting to piss me off. No one clashes me and no one stands against me. Even though I am new here, everyone knows that. I saw her eyes go blank and before I could duck, her fist made contact with my face and I felt sharp pain coursing through my nose. I held my nose tight and felt warm liquid flowing to my lips. Olivia Claire is a 16 year old high scholar. She is a fighter who never took anyone's shit and is famous for it. She mostly minds her own business occasionally helping people that might need her.

Darcy Freaking Grayson

"You expect me to forget everything?" His voice comes out as a whisper. "To act like it doesn't hurt me to see you with him or that I'm still not crazy in love with you?" "Mason."
