WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. It only takes one moment to change your life forever . . . After her mother's deportation last year, all Soledad "Sol" Gutierrez wants is for her life to go back to normal. Everything's changed-new apartment, new school, new family dynamic-and Sol desperately wants to fit in. When she joins her community college's history club, it comes with an odd initiation process: break into Westray's oldest house and steal . . . a fork? There's just one problem: while the owners of the house aren't home, their grandson Ethan is, and when he catches Sol with her hand in the kitchen drawer, she barely escapes with the fork intact. This one chance encounter irrevocably alters her life, and Sol soon learns that sometimes fitting in isn't as important as being yourself-even if that's the hardest thing she's ever had to do.

WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION When her initiation into her college's History Club goes awry, Sol has to come face to face with Ethan-the cute guy whose house she just broke into. ***** Soledad Gutierrez, or Sol to her friends, decides to join the History Club at her Community college. However, this club is not like other clubs: they have an initiation process and a slew of other 'extracurricular activities.' In order to join the club, Sol must break into the oldest house in her small Californian town and steal one of their forks. The club members provide all the materials to break in; she just needs to take the utensil, take a selfie in the kitchen, and get out undetected-with the fork, of course. The problem is: Ethan Winston spots Sol in his grandparent's house, and he's determined to uncover the reason behind the break-in. However, both he and Sol are thrown for a loop when feelings begin to develop between them. And as Ethan becomes suspicious of the History Club, he and Sol get tangled in an adventure none of them were expecting.

Three strangers. One flat. And absolutely no idea what they've gotten themselves into. They were supposed to be nothing more than three people sharing rent, a kitchen, and a few square feet of living space.

But living together isn't always easy. Feelings get complicated, secrets come to light, and relationships begin to change in ways none of them saw coming. Because sometimes, home isn't a place. Sometimes, it's the people waiting for you inside.

"It's just a casual coffee," they said. "Think of it as making a friend." They lied. Welcome to Omiai-traditional Japanese matchmaking.

A short, funny, and painfully relatable real-life essay about surviving modern Japanese dating, chronic people-pleasing, and the chaotic beauty of first impressions. 💬 Short Read | Real Life / Memoir | Romantic Comedy Vibe

RSR is dead.News channel kept flasing the same headline on repeat until even grief started sounding like fact. A superstar who was humble, rich at heart, heartthrob of girls. An outsider who changed the definition of success in the film industry. Someone who built himself from nothing...... and was still found lifeless, ruled as suicide. Meera didn't know him personally. Not really. Just another face on screens, another name in passing fame. Until the day everything around her falls apart-and she hears about his death. And something in her refuses to accept it. It isn't logical. It isn't even hers to feel. But she still wishes it anyway. What if he didn't have to die? What if someone could save him? What if she could save him? A wish spoken quietly into a world that was already breaking. And sometimes... the world answers in the most dangerous way. Because Meera wakes up one morning- -and it is not her time anymore. She has slipped exactly one year into the past. One year before RSR's death. He is alive. But not safe. Not reachable. Not the man the world mourned. He is distant, unpredictable, and constantly testing her like she doesn't belong anywhere near his life. And Mira has no idea what she is supposed to do here. No plan. No explanation. No way back. Only one impossible truth: She is standing in the past... with the future already screaming in her memory. And somehow, she has to save a man who doesn't even believe he needs saving.

Nova Akhran and Julian Maxwell can't stand each other. At all. As CEOs of rivaling Fortune 500 companies, they've been at each other's throats for long enough. They want nothing to do with each other and are incapable of ever seeing eye to eye on anything. However, things take a turn when a frustrating ultimatum threatens their coveted CEO positions. Forced to scramble and protect everything they've worked for, they're cornered with a desperately volatile solution: holy matrimony. But sharing temporary and meaningless vows shouldn't be a problem since it's mutually beneficial. Right? Because when one really and truly wants something, they must take risks and sacrifices along the way...even if some of those risks are costly. If these two knew what they were really getting into from the start, maybe things would've been different. Because they're surely in for a ride when fate has a cruel sense of humor. After all, you can't avoid the inevitable when it comes to your heart. *FEATURED on Wattpad's Dangerous Love reading list (3/19/20) *FEATURED on Wattpad's New Adult reading list (4/1/20) *Ranked #59 in #AdultFiction (4/6/20) *Ranked #146 in #Business (5/2/20) *Ranked #10 in #Rivalry (1/3/20) *Ranked #3 in #EnemiesToLovers (12/19/19) *Ranked #84 in ChickLit (12/20/19) Copyright 2019© by RadiantLove_ Cover credit: @pollywritess

Before There Was Us is the story of who Charlotte Tiu and Francis Tolentino were before they became the Cha and Kiko we know now on Until We Became Five Before marriage. Before careers. Before a home filled with children calling them Mommy and Daddy. Before their lives became something shared. This story goes back to the time when they were still simply Charlotte and Francis-two young people living their own lives, carrying their own dreams, struggles, ambitions, friendships, and plans for the future. A time when everything was still unwritten. When ordinary days were just ordinary days. When the people around them were still becoming important. When neither of them knew yet which moments they would someday look back on and realize had changed everything. This is not yet the story of the family they would build. This is the story of the people they were first. Of growing up. Of friendships. Of dreams. Of choices. Of discovering themselves before life slowly began connecting their paths. Because long before there was Mommy and Daddy- long before there was Cha and Kiko as one- there was Charlotte. There was Francis. And this is their story- before there was us.
