Months that he's been lying about where and who he's with, and leaving you to be a married single mother. That's a whole different thing! And EJ is done. She packs up her kids and moves home. When sparks fly in the initial meeting of her and the contactor, they both feel it. Until others who want them for themselves try to pull them apart. Follow along on this journey of self-discovery, friendship, and love.

Easton Moore is back...and I'm his fake girlfriend. After leaving for the professional surfing tour the morning after we slept together, my childhood best friend became the person I never wanted to see again. Now he strolls back into Sandy Cove when I'm at my lowest point. My house and the coffee shop I run is being taken away from me unless I can afford to buy it off my mother. And Easton offered to help me, so long as I come on tour with him and pose as his fake girlfriend. What could go wrong?

"Does this feel real enough?" He grabbed my face delicately in his hands, the rain runs down our foreheads to where our lips meet, each of us tasting the cold drops. Sparks flew in every direction, but instead of detracting from the intensity of the moment, it brings us to new heights. Caiden pushes his lips against mine more firmly and the wave that runs through me is intoxicating, making my head swim. And we all know how much I love to swim. ---- Caiden Hurley is one of the cliche boys most girls would swoon over. But the new girl isn't most girls. Caiden and his buddies have a game tradition where every year, they each have a mission to try and lay a certain girl in their grade. And the short-tempered, surf champion new girl: Kennedy Dyline is Caiden's lucky pick.

In a world where power is the ultimate weapon and betrayal is currency, the line between hero and villain doesn't just blur-it shatters. She's the kind of woman you're warned about. Calculating. Lethal. The first to smile in your face and twist the knife in your back. He's the man everyone fears. Cold-blooded. Unforgiving. The embodiment of vengeance in an expensive suit. They should have destroyed each other. But instead, they made a deal. She's playing a game with no rules. He's rewriting them as he goes. Together, they're a storm no one can outrun. Loyalties are broken, alliances burned, and blood spills in their wake. But when the smoke clears, only one thing remains certain-trusting the devil doesn't make you safe... It makes you just like him. She's the sinner. He's the executioner. And in their obsession, no one gets out alive. Some stories don't have heroes. Some don't need them. This is theirs. Outlaw-where survival isn't enough, and obsession is the only law. Highest Ranks: #1 - badgirl [𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐝, 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 @𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐳 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒]

~ 2021 WATTY'S SHORTLIST ~ "I-well, I..." I hesitated with my response. I wanted to let go. To not worry about what would happen in the future. I'd always loved staring into fires. It hypnotized me with its beauty and danger. It was so tantalizing to look at, but one little touch could destroy. I knew the heat between Tyler and I was similar. It started off small but it had only grown in the weeks he'd been here. We'd fed it unintentionally, and it had gone from an ember to a crackling flame. Every nerve in my body wanted to reach out and touch it, even though I knew I'd get burned. *************************************************** Pia Callahan always lived a carefree life with no worries. Her only responsibilities were to attend her college classes (sometimes) and keep herself fed (on ramen). When tragedy strikes, Pia is all of the sudden thrown into a whirlwind of change. She has to grow up and take on more responsibility than she could ever imagine: the custody of her best friend's son. Pia may not believe she is the best person for the job, but she is determined to do it. She'll trade in frat parties for PTA meetings and beer-bongs for apple juice. But what happens when the ruggedly hot motocross athlete Tyler Westwood shows up in her small town? Tyler lives on the fast track, never caring too much about consequences. You can't when your job is to do backflips through the air. Sometimes, you just have to send it and hope for the best. From the second Tyler meets Pia, he knows he wants her. But she is determined to ignore their bubbling chemistry. She has priorities now and a summer fling isn't one of them. Will Pia be able to stay away from Tyler? Or will she decide to hit the throttle? ***************************************************

He steps closer, the cool night air swirling around us. There's a dangerous edge to his smile, a challenge in the way he looks at me, but I'm not one to back down. "Shouldn't you be with your band?" I ask, trying to sound unaffected. His grin widens, and he tilts his head slightly. "I was, but then I saw you. And now I can't seem to look away." I raise an eyebrow, crossing my arms over my chest. "Flattery, huh? You must be used to it." He takes another step toward me, his eyes intense, searching. "Maybe. But with you, it feels different." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Beneath The Light is a captivating tale of love, fame, and sacrifice, following the journey of Samira, an independent and creative woman, who unexpectedly finds herself entangled with Kaizen, the charismatic lead singer of an alternative pop band on the brink of stardom, Eclipse. Their connection begins in the most unlikely of ways-amidst the chaos of a club after a concert, where Kaizen's infatuation with Samira quickly grows into something deeper. But with Kaizen's world tour pulling him away, their connection is tested by the pressures of fame, the judgment of the public eye, and the challenge of navigating a relationship in the midst of it all. As their bond deepens, both Samira and Kaizen must confront their own fears-Samira's struggle to keep her independence intact and Kaizen's desire to protect her from the harsh world of fame. When the press catches wind of their growing connection, the stakes rise, and they must decide if their love is worth the sacrifice of hiding it from the world.

At just ten years old, Adessa Brooks was Byron Bay's youngest and most successful surfer.

Mason 🎸 My life's in shambles. Okay, that's a little dramatic considering that my band broke up. But I don't know what to do with my future, my career and my life going forward. So I do the only reasonable thing and run as far as I can go - to Australia. Nobody here knows (or cares) how famous I am. Especially Riley doesn't care. She doesn't even like me and has no problem telling me how much she thinks I suck. Riley 🌊 He's the most arrogant person I've met in a long time. Demanding, entitled and conceited. Charming and pretty too. Urgh. Mutual friends force us to spent time together again and again. I just can't escape him. I don't want him and I don't need him, yet he's the constant dripping that will wear away the stones I've put around my heart for a good reason. ~~~ Waves is a "we don't like each other"-to-lovers book with a strong-minded female lead who has to learn to allow feelings again, and a cocky and witty (maybe unlikeable at first) male lead with a failed rockstar attitude. But I promise he's sweet underneath it all. 18+ ONLY (strong language, sexual content, swearing etc.) Trigger Warnings (may contain spoilers): 🚩loss of a loved one 🚩mentions of drugs ~~~ I'll try to update twice a week, but without a schedule this time. I may throw in a couple extra chapters here and there depending on how writing goes. Love, Izzy 🌿
