****
'Do you feel that? That's the sound of an alive heart. I don't know what it is about you, Candice, but something inside me knows - or scratch that - demands, that if I saw more of you, maybe it would be beneficial.'
****
Sweet-tempered London girl Candice Carroll has big dreams. When an ill-tempered young man bursts into her pastry chef father's modest bakery one day, she can't help but wonder what is the cause of his sour mood. She makes it her aim to bring some cheer and fun into his life.
Zachary Malone is used to having his own way. Whether that be with girls, drink or career ambitions. When he has his eye on something, he strikes bulls-eye. Unfortunately for him, Candice is someone he can't possess.
When a certain life-threatening incident occurs, can these two people from vastly different social backgrounds find common ground... and love in the bargain?
Or will Candice's prejudices stop her from hitting the jackpot...

The Men Next Door
✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly--like she was scared the moment would vanish forever if she let another millisecond go by--and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just the girl next door. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly--like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea--and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Poolside Problems ☀️ (July 2026) • Love Triangles 💘😈 (July 2025) • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • Love Triangle (April 2025) • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) 📗 @ChickLit • Rom-Com (Oct 2025) • Ambassador's Picks (Jul 2025) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime AwardComplete

"Does he know your name?" "Nope," I shook my head. "But hey, it was like love at first sight," I said dreamily before snapping back to reality and looking at my best friend who gave me a weird look. "You have to help me," I said. "We're not going to the clothes store with me disguised as a girl again." "No," I groaned. "I want you to help me get him to notice me." My best friend's mouth opened then closed again before his eyes dropped to my boobs, "I mean, we can always start with that." "What? No!" I crossed my arms over my chest while he laughed like the idiot he was and I rolled my eyes, then let out a breath, "Come on, just do this for your Firefly." ▬▬▬▬▬ There was only one reason Renée McCann enjoyed her job at the bakery.

With a promotion on the line, Daan finds himself telling a lie to his old-school boss. A lie that puts Noa Baudet not only in his life, but on his arm like the sweet-tart candy she is.

Her job as a neonatal nurse helps to keep her mind off of her broken heart when something unexpected happens; she comes face to face with Dr. Samuel Daniels. Will she find love again, or will her grief blind her from her second chance at love and happiness? *** "Kendall is under the illusion that you're in love with me. Can you believe that? I just buried my fiancé seven months ago. She told me not to be blinded by my grief, not to see that you love me," I sigh. I notice Sam lower his head. "I'm guessing that must have pissed you off." "It did! I don't want her to ruin the friendship that we have. I like how we are. You throw the love word in there, and it freaks me out." I fight back my tears. Sam raises his head to look at me. "Listen, Mallory. I would never do anything to jeopardize what we have. Please don't let other people's observations of our relationship mess that up, okay?" *** 1st Place in The Candy Cane Awards 🥇 2nd Place in the 2020 Universal Awards 🥈 2nd Place in the Books and Beyond Awards 🥈Complete
