I Wish You Would | Lando Norris

I wish you would come back
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did, I
Wish you knew that I'd never forget you as long as I live and I
Wish you were right here, right now, it's all good
| I Wish You Would by Taylor Swift

----------------------

Esme Leclerc thought she could outrun her past-fleeing to France, leaving behind the roar of engines and the ache of Lando Norris's love. In the quiet of her studies, she rebuilt herself, shaping a life away from the chaos.

But now, with her degree in hand and the racing world calling her back, Esme steps into the spotlight she once avoided. Among familiar faces and distant memories, one question lingers: can love, like a race, ever truly end-or does it simply wait for a new beginning?

Where the Skies are Blue

Once upon a time, there was a boy with pink-dusted cheeks that waited for Skylar outside class every morning to walk her to her next one.

Breathless laughter echoed in her room after he would climb in through her window every evening, eyes crinkled into crescent moons and cheeks bunched up with the force of his smile.

Together, they would listen to music under the river of stars in the sky every night.

Now Skylar is miserably grown up, the windows in her room stay firmly shut at all times, and the boy she wanted to share her music and her life with is now a planet outside her orbit.


Letters to Robin

In the aftermath of her twin sister's tragic death, Reagan Sinclair finds herself in a never-ending battle against paralyzing panic attacks and drowning in grief. Desperate to just survive each day, Reagan's world is turned upside down when Paris unexpectedly enters her life, offering her a chance to explore a world of dominance she never knew she needed. As Reagan delves into a journey of self-discovery and passion, she must confront her suppressed emotions surrounding her sister's passing and her growing dependence on Paris. Join Reagan on a gripping adventure of love, loss, and finding the strength to heal in the face of unimaginable pain.

"Why not?" I whisper against his lips, I want him closer to my body, I want it so badly it's almost painful. The sensation spreads through me like a relentless throbbing, engulfing my entire body. Paris pulls away to look at me, and his eyes are darker, deeper. I swallow at the primal desire pouring from his stare, eyes widening when he wraps his hand around my neck, his thumb stroking as it bobs. Almost instinctively, I raise my hand and put it over his, making him squeeze tighter. Paris growls low in his throat, and I close my eyes, marveling at the way every single nerve ending lights up.

"Why not?" I ask again, just wishing he'd close the space between us. Just wishing he'd touch me.

"No. This is wrong and I'm sorry I let it get this far. I'm older than you, love. You're so fucking young. This is......no,"

"I'm twenty, not seventeen, and I don't care. It doesn't matter," it's the wrong thing to say because when I open my eyes, he's shaking his head, his eyes locked on the wall near my head with an unreadable expression on his face. He removes his hand from around my throat, and the other slides slowly up my side and grips my waist, putting me more firmly against the wall.

"No, Reagan," he says through clenched teeth, turning around and going to his room. I flinch at the sound of his bedroom door closing.

Back to the Fire

Savannah Carter, a suburban wife and former high-powered music publicist, finds herself torn between the safety of her numb, orderly life and the dangerous hunger awakened by her past. Once the queen of late-night negotiations and red carpet chaos, she now folds laundry in silence and watches glitter glue dry on preschool projects. But a single message from her past threatens to pull her entire life back into flames.

The text arrives unexpectedly, three simple words from her ex-lover Jaxon Ryder that shatter Savannah's carefully constructed facade: "Still taste you." Jaxon, a tattooed rockstar with a magnetic pull, was the tempestuous love of her past-a man who embodied chaos, raw truth, and the ruin she once craved. As Savannah navigates her mundane morning routine, the message awakens memories of their passionate, destructive relationship.

Savannah's internal turmoil escalates as she exchanges increasingly intimate messages with Jaxon, each one chipping away at the fragile stability of her marriage to Nathan, her reliable but emotionally distant husband. When Jaxon reveals he's in town and asks for 24 hours of her time, Savannah faces a dilemma between the life she's built and the one she left behind. Flashes of her past with Jaxon-the backstage trysts, bruising fights, and scorching lyrics he's written about her-haunt her waking hours, making it impossible to fully commit to the suburban routine that has become her new normal.

Savannah's journey is one of emotional turmoil, nostalgia, and the powerful pull of a toxic, all-consuming love. Trapped between the fire of her past and the ashes of her present, she must ultimately decide whether to embrace the ruin Jaxon offers or remain a ghost in her own life. The outcome will determine if she can reclaim the passion that once defined her or if she'll be forever consumed by the embers of what she left behind.

Tahleea Danielle Layton

She takes her mother's advice to enjoy the college experience by joining the guy she met during the campus and athletic facility tour for a campus party.

Andre Khalid Hassan
The handsome star wide receiver on his way to the draft. During football drills, he locked eyes with a beautiful young lady as she walked past the football field during her campus and athletic facility tour. He immediately claimed her as his future wife.

------------------------------

"Tahleea?"
"Yes Andre."
"I knew you were the one when I saw you during your tour of campus."
"The one? What do you mean by the one Andre?"
"You are going to be my wife one day. I'm going to make you mine."
I slowly turned around to face him. I know this has to be the liquor talking. He looked at me with those beautiful bluish green eyes and kissed me with so much passion. Please don't let me fall for him, I thought. I don't want to be hurt.


BOUND TO MY MATE

My love? Damn, who would have thought such endearment would light up my whole world? I think, no, I know I want this man forever. I don't see the time, the hour, or the day it happened, but I know he feels just like home.

  "Feelings for you. I want to be with you more than I care to admit. You would probably reject me." I sounded sad. He sat down beside me and placed an arm around my shoulders. The gesture comforted me, and I leaned in against him.

  Helena and her mother moved to a small town six months ago, and things are not as they seem. Although she has her reservations, she manages to befriend someone, and then Helena meets him, the guy who will turn her world upside down and make her see things she never thought she would. Listen to Helena's journey through her own eyes and see if she will understand the bond that ties her to her mate.

Unexpected

For recent law school grad Charlotte Maxwell, real life has never been so good. On a post-graduation vacation with her best friend, the last thing Charlie is thinking about is meeting anyone: all she's looking to do is eat, drink, and get some sun (although not necessarily in that order). After three stressful years of focusing on school, Charlie's long overdue for some relaxation and she intends on maximizing every moment of this trip...by doing absolutely nothing.

What she doesn't expect on her perfect vacation is to meet the perfect guy. Alex is smart, funny, and handsome. Despite their different backgrounds - Charlie is from a Midwestern middle class family while Alex is a wealthy Brit - their chemistry is undeniable. Charlie's not exactly the vacation fling kind of girl, but figures she can make an exception in Alex's case.

But is Alex really too good to be true? What if the only souvenir Charlie brings back from her vacation is a broken heart?

"Why did you come here tonight?" He whispers, looking down at my lips in frustration. He's fighting an internal battle with himself.

I reach out and touch his arm, he stands completely still.

"Maybe it's the only way..." I gasp as he reaches for both of my hands and starts walking me backwards.

I swallow hard. I want him, and nothing else matters. Fuck the consequences, this is happening.

***

He's pinning me down as his tounge slowly caresses mine, and I find myself automatically tangling my fingers through his hair, gently tugging and encouraging him.

"Keep going." I whisper into his mouth, before pulling his lips back down on to mine.

Our kiss is faster this time, much more urgent and passionate. I arch my back allowing him to slip his hands behind my back and undo my bra clasp. Then he hesitates.

"I want you. All of you." I wrap my legs around his waist, fulling pressing his arousal up against mine, and he grunts.

"Please." He breathes into my neck. I'm making this hard for him. Good. "We can't, it's not smart."

"We can." I assure him.

And without another moments hesitation, he's kissing me like I've never been kissed before and his hands are roaming all over my body, and my hands are tugging at his boxers and he's pulling my thong down. And finally, finally..

Olivia Becks didn't land her dream work-study job in the athletic department by accident. Smart, determined, and still haunted by her brother's career-ending injury, she's here for more than experience-she's here to make sure no one else gets overlooked the way he was.

Jessie Richardson is the university's golden boy-the quarterback with a perfect record, a famous last name, and a body built for headlines. But behind the highlight reels and endorsement deals, he's nursing a secret injury that could end everything. No one can find out. Especially not the too-observant freshman who just started asking all the wrong questions.

She's supposed to track patterns.
He's supposed to be untouchable.
But when Olivia sees through his carefully curated image, the real game begins.

As pressure mounts and secrets stack high, they're forced to navigate loyalty, ambition, and the impossible pull between them. When the truth finally comes out, Olivia has to choose: protect the athlete... or protect the future.

Forged by Fire

Elaine Rainier had a pretty clear picture of how she hoped her future would turn out. All she ever dreamed of was to live a perfectly normal life and work as her adopted father's assistant blacksmith. Simple and easy. All that changed the day her sister was kidnapped, an event that turned her life upside down and sent it on a completely different course, all in the blink of an eye.

Now Elaine is forced to face the past she preferred to leave far behind as she searches for her sister with the help of the Captain of the Guard, Gunter, who she might have been harboring secret feelings for since they were kids. But the captain has secrets of his own, ones he's reluctant to share, and he may or may not accept Elaine's own secrets, ones she had hoped would never see the light of day.

Together, they head for the king's mountain estate where they hope to find safety from the assassins who took Elaine's sister, assassins who might have been after a different target altogether. All the while, Elaine tries to deny the fact that her future dreams may never become reality.

Those last two words hang in the air between us in a way I don't fully understand. Xavier tilts his head slightly and there's a darkness that's filtering through his gaze. It makes my face burn under his scorching stare.

But the two of them resist acknowledging their hidden truths, and their forbidden connection, until ignoring it all becomes too perilous.

***

Bren meets Madie during his first week at college, and he's certain he should have nothing to do with her. First of all, Madie has a boyfriend.

Madie might be completely entwined with her abusive boyfriend, but Bren quickly becomes determined to unravel her.

But can Bren open Madie's eyes to the truth before it's too late?

***

"Don't go back to being treated like you're not real."

Madie's lips parted, and I couldn't read the expression on her face. But we were so close now. "You're real, Madie. Feel it."

"I feel it," came her breathy reply.

When it came to her, I was weak. My legs couldn't hold me anymore, and I slid down. Landing on my knees, I kneeled back against the bottom of the cold door, letting it cool my hot skin.

"Good girl." The words were more of a pant; I could barely catch a breath with the way my heart was racing. But I had to tell her, talk to her. "Now, never forget it. Never forget the way you feel right now, Madie."

"I-I should be heading to my room now." I told him not in anyway ready to face him.

"Turn around." He instructed.

"Your fiancee may w-wake up soon to use t-the bathroom or discover no ones t-there." This would definitely not be a good look.

Stop stuttering, I mentally chanted.

"She won't." Was his response.

"Please, I must head back to my r-room." I informed him, it had already been too long since we were in the bathroom alone.

"You won't be getting out of here until you comply with my instructions." He informed.

What game was he playing!

I obliged and did what he said slowly turning around with my eyes tightly.

Burn Me, Break You

"In a game of power, passion, and revenge... who will break first?"

---------------------------------------------------------

Bound to a chair, Sophia glares at Vittorio, her defiance of a spark in the oppressive darkness. He circles her like a predator, his sharp eyes drinking in her fury and vulnerability. His voice, smooth and venomous, drops to a whisper as he leans in, trapping her between his towering frame and the cold reality of her situation.

"You can struggle all you want, doll," he murmurs, his hand grazing her jaw with cruel precision. "But I always break my toys."

Sophia's jaw tightened as she saw his arrogant smirk.

"Do it."

---------------------------------------------------------

She was fire-untamed, unbroken, and dangerously close to consuming him whole.
He was the storm-ruthless, relentless, and determined to make her his.

Bound by revenge and torn by an attraction neither can control, Sophia and Vittorio must walk the fine line between destroying each other and falling too deep. But in a world where betrayal is inevitable and love is a weapon, only one question remains...

Who will burn, and who will break?

What do you think? Want it darker, softer, or even more intense?


LYCANTHROPE

"I want you." With a touch as light as a feather, Cillian hooked a thick finger under her chin to get a better look at her face. "Look at me."

Slowly, her eyes cracked open, but she didn't dare meet his eyes. His grip tightened ever so slightly, a warning.

Her breath caught in her throat when she looked at him- I mean, really looked at him. His golden eyes were as direct, not even blinking as much as the average person. They glistened in the moonlight that peeked through the blinds, bringing an inhuman shine to them. A satisfied smile stretched across his lips until his prominent canines made an appearance.

A finger tugged on the collar of her shirt and dragged it down- just enough to reveal the mark that was imprinted forever on her delicate neck.

"Do remember what this means?" It was this speech, this deep, heavy voice of his that immediately set him apart from everyone else.

No longer able to hold his gaze, her eyes fell and she shook her head.

His hand caught somewhere behind her neck and base of her jaw to tilt her head back so her eyes met his. "I think you do." He persisted. His other hand came up to lightly brush the hair back away from her face. "What are we, hmm?"

His fingers trailed down the curves of her body until they settled on her hips to gently tug her closer, pulling a sharp inhale from her. With their bodies pressed together, hearts racing in sync, and butterflies fluttering in both of their stomachs, she peeked up at him once more.

A shudder shot down her spine as he leaned in to nuzzle her neck, his hot breath fanning against the mark. "C'mon, say it." He breathily taunted.

With a shaky breath, she whispered, "we're mates."

ENAMORADO (COMPLETED) (BEING EDITED)

He had that kind of visage that stopped you in your tracks. There was a sudden pose in my natural expression. I gaped openly as I descried his Sharp jaw and cheekbones. Body built like a brick carved to perfection. Dark brows were graceful and neat as I inquired to myself if my features are as perfect as this human. Seriously though who created this bundle of creativity. Bristly coiffured dark chocolate hair sheltering his forehead.

      With our guns still conical on to each other's heads my eyes escalated quickly keen for his eyes. When they finally encountered, I was met with two blazing alluring hazel eyes gazing right into me, of course, the blush that accompanied me was a dead give-away. I could apprise to the fact that we both nevermore presumed this inconvenient situation thus I did what I had to do.

Lords of Fire MC (MC Romance, Thriller) [complete]

MC Romance

Neil watched for too long, he figured. His club, the Lords  MC in Florida became more 'outlaw' every week, and he saw no opportunity to change that direction. He never wanted to be outlaw, and now he was delivering enough to put him down for 30 years, three times a week. With his dad passing away, and his little sisters needing him around more, it was a wake-up call. Time to ride, with someone else if he found a pack worth joining, or lone wolf if not. With his status and tenure, it never occurred to him that he wouldn't be allowed to move on.

  When Shayla and Sydney came in as dealers a few years back instead of finishing college, their vow was a few years then out. They had a hell of a run. Parties that were legend, lovers of every sexy man type from Cuban to Norwegian and back again. But it was game time again. The years were great, but not what they wanted for their lives. Then they met Neil, and it was like seeing themselves for the first time, in stark light. He was always courteous and professional, unlike their other delivery men from the MC. He never treated them with anything except respect. In the reflection of his cobalt eyes, though, neither saw themselves worth his respect. It wasn't a shaming, more of a profound regret that a man like Neil finally showed up and they were too far into the life to say "hey, this isn't who we are."

  The whole "I'm not as I am" Othello play was for victims anyway, and they weren't victims. They were volunteers. But just meeting Neil slammed the door on waiting any longer to get out and back to university. Then two other dealers left the club, and turned up in trash bags, their bodies hacked up by machete.


Situationship [Wattpad Version]

As members of the same friend group, Heath and Teagan will be around each other plenty during wedding season, whether they like it or not. With no time or desire to date, the two come to an agreement: pre-scheduled hookups through the summer or until something real comes along. A situational relationship, otherwise known as a situationship.

Their arrangement seems perfect. If their past doesn't come back to bite them.


1.1 Worth The Fight | ✔

* Previously known as Butterfly *

Alexandra Ramirez grew up with her parents not caring about her dreams. She had to be the next CEO of their company, not caring that she didn't want to do that. Her dreams didn't matter to them, so that is why she almost gave up art for them. She has to follow a beginners class of art to just keep art in her life. Lucky for her, her friends are there to support her through tick and thin. Without them she wouldn't be surviving.

Nathaniel Crawford has everything that he desires. He has the acceptable grades, girls waiting in line for him and the football career ready for him. What he didn't expect was to fall for the girl who could easily get on with her life without him. She was the first person and thing he ever had to fight for in his life.

But she was worth it!


The Ties That Bind (Jesse's Story)

{This book can be read as a standalone. You do not need to read Burning Desire first.}

You loved him in Burning Desire as the sexy, confident love interest of Kate Crawford. Now, Jesse Reese is back with his own standalone - a sequel to the Watty's Longlisted novel, and a continuation of his story!

After a spicy love triangle ends without him getting the girl, Jesse Reese is left to pick up the pieces of his broken heart and move on. He swears off relationships until he can get his career perfectly on track, blaming his company's falling numbers on his recent lack of focus on work. This only lasts a little while, however, once he meets beautiful, charismatic Vanessa Hamilton, his business partner's newly hired assistant.
There's something familiar about this woman, however, and it doesn't take Jesse long to remember where he's seen her before: The pair mingled on a New Year's Eve flight three years ago and shared a midnight kiss between strangers, knowing they'd never see each other again.
Although Vanessa pretends she doesn't recall the event, saying he must be mistaken - it must've been another woman who looked like her, Jesse is positive that this is the girl from the plane. He doesn't know why she's avoiding the truth, but he makes it his mission to find out. After all, Jesse hasn't been able to erase that kiss from his memory for the past three years. Eternally intrigued by the woman who danced away with his heart in an airport terminal, the longing to taste her lips again is now an overwhelming blaze of need - a fire only Vanessa can put out.

I pushed the sword tip beneath his chin, lifting his face.

❝I want Catherine.❞

                                                                           *                  *                *

His student is off-limits...but the temptation to have her is much greater.

❧ 𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃 is a stubborn, hardworking, and studious twenty-one-year-old senior at Darwin State. She's worked two jobs and relied on her academic scholarship to pay her way through her years at the prestigious university. Her life isn't all that, but she knows better days are ahead.

❧ 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐓𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊 is a dominant, alluring, and passionate thirty-three-year-old Business professor at Darwin State, now entering his third year of teaching. His parents are the largest donors to the university, so rules don't necessarily apply to him. But coming from a wealthy family doesn't always mean happiness.

What happens when Rose walks into Roman's lecture on the first day of her last semester? They both know it's wrong, yet they still test the waters. It could cost them everything, but are they willing to risk it for true love?

It's forbidden. It's tempting. It's addictive.
