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.

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.

This should have been the best day of his life. Instead, Gideon Pierce has never felt more depressed. No pride. No joy. Just a hollow, gnawing emptiness he can't outrun. The promotion to CEO of CE Incorporation was everything he worked for - power, prestige, proof that he had won in life. So he does what everyone does. He celebrates, burries the void in alcohol, boosts his ego by buying a fancy car. For a moment he feels larger than life. Until one reckless decision shatters everything he built. A drunk drive. A moment of arrogance. A silent challenge to death itself. A violent crash with dire consequences. Gideon crawls from the wreckage, furious at the inconvenience and the ruin of his shiny new toy. After a good night sleep, he's convinced he's escaped with nothing but a drenched suit and the threat of pneumonia as his first day as CEO. But something happened in that riverbank. Something unseen. Something patient. His world begins to shift. Reality slips at the edges. And he slowly realizes something happened in those murky water. What do you do when you lose control over your own existence? And how do you take it back when the cost is your soul? Regrets of a Dead CEO is a haunting psychological descent into guilt, consequence, and the thin line between redemption and damnation - where facing your demons may be the only way to survive them... or the final step toward becoming one.

It is here, amidst fogs of sickly hairspray and snarky comments on her weight that she meets Mark Charles, a charming beefcake most famous for a string of popular superhero movies.

''Didn't she murder 3 guys bare-handed?!!'' ''I heard she quit the national team!'' ''Why on earth is she here?'' For years, Brighton Vale Uni's elite foreign exchange program had gathered the brightest prodigies from around the world - students destined to become CEOs, diplomats, researchers, politicians, artists and athletes. No way that list would include the notorious Amy Roy, right??? The media frenzy around Amy wasn't because she was pretty or smart - it was because she refused to cower in the face of danger, instead facing it head-on with a kind of strength that was admirable. What no one expected, however, was that she was indeed pretty and smart, and determined to not be defined by her circumstance, had somehow managed to get into a prestigious program on the opposite end of the world. "Can you tell me where the library is?" "OMG! You're THE Amy Roy!" "Uh yeah?" "No way, really?" "Dude, can you just tell me where it is?" Safe to say her arrival at BVU caused quite a ruckus. They expected someone cold, intimidating, and quiet. Definitely not a barely 5-foot-tall, utterly chaotic yet enigmatic individual with determined eyes that promised trouble and mischief. No one knows why she's here or what she'll do next, but one thing is for sure - it's going to be a hell of a year at BVU, especially for the student council president, Lukas Beckett. Trigger Warning: This story contains explicit references including but not limited to traumatic events, sexual assault, grief, mild violence, strong language, and implications of sexual content (not explicit). It also includes lgbtqia+ characters (not the main characters but are crucial to the story) and certain mature themes and emotional distress. Please read with discretion.
