"I put on makeup to express myself. I could care less about my so-called insecurities."
Aura Chandler was so sure she had her life figured out. After securing a photoshoot gig with up-and-coming musician Lacey Redd, she was convinced she would get discovered for her makeup artistry. But all that crumbles when her parents force her to go on a trip to the other side of the country to visit her Grandma Ruby. Now what could've been the opportunity of a lifetime ends up in the hands of another. Distraught, she wonders what to do with her life when she's stuck thousands of miles away from her home for the entire summer. All she needs to do is find her way to make the proper connections in order to get the spotlight she so desperately yearned for.
And that's when the perfect opportunity presents itself in the rich and handsome form of Zachary McBane: the son of the beach clubs' owner in Cornelius. She thinks that if she could be around those with heavy pockets, she could be better recognized in the future.
Alas, her old childhood best friend, Tyson Smith, sneaks back into her life to remind her that money isn't the secret to life. But she can't help but be enticed by the glitz and glam of the luxury life.
Ambitious, determined, and glamorous, the tale of a woman who holds nothing back to get what she wants.

Tainted Genius
At Whitmore University, only the rich, the brilliant, and the dangerous survive. Ryan Shaffer is none of the above. She's here on scholarship, laser-focused, and more interested in staying at the top of the class than making friends. So when the class rankings drop and she sees her name in second place, she's not shocked. What shocks her... is who's in first. Carter Grayson. She's never seen him in a single lecture. Never heard his name. And yet there he is, one spot above her. Infuriatingly smug. Maddeningly attractive. And worst of all? Unbothered. Carter is everything Ryan can't stand: reckless, flirtatious, filthy rich-and somehow, smarter than her. But the deeper she digs, the more the mystery unravels. Because Carter Grayson has secrets no one talks about. And Ryan? She might be the only one bold (or stupid) enough to challenge him. At Whitmore, power is inherited, not earned. But Ryan's done playing by their rules. --- His lips were inches away from my ear and the heat from his breath sent my body into complete shock. "I'm an asshole," he said, almost breathless. I wanted to agree because wherever that admission came from it was the truth. "I only know how to hurt people," he said again. More feverishly this time. "You're worse," I claimed. "Than an asshole. You're worse." "I know," he mumbled. Pain etched in his face. "Why the unexpected confession?" "Cause you were right," he said, leaning back - severing the connection before it had even formed. "I'm not worth it."

Bran, I was missing you so much, I just... I needed to see you.", I said as I came up with lie. "Are you drunk?", Brandon asked as he leaned in closer trying to smell my mouth.

I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie. But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him?

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

If You Love Me
In the first second that I laid my eyes on you, everything that I have ever wanted out of life flashed right before my eyes. I could envision us going on picnics, stuffing our faces until we felt sick, holding hands until there was nothing but sweat between us, and introducing you to my parents in hopes that they would love you just an ounce of the way that I loved you. I could see us fighting over the remote only to end up not paying attention to the television program at all. And most of all, I could see you meaning something special to me- being that one consistent person in my life. But that second soon ended and I did not even know your name. Avery Davenport is an artist chaos. On the outside, a girl with her head in books, paint on her fingertips, and one foot in front of the other.

A tragic and fatal ending that she didn't have the answers to completely causes her to unravel. Pain slowly begins to be masked in the beds of the boys she meets, in her dark and quiet room, and subsequently on the ledge of her dorm room balcony. She didn't believe in hope or happy endings, never having conjured up one for herself or others, not until she met him. Dean Carter is all things remarkable. On the outside, a boy with ironed clothes, hair always perfected, and an ever dashing smile that could melt one's every sorrow. On the inside, a boy with cognizance in his brain, hope in his veins, and loneliness in his heart. Everything in his life has happened according to plan.
