Falling in love is hard… Staying in love is harder. But, getting the love of the person you love is the hardest! Sometimes, the special someone crosses our path in an early stage of life like a knight in a shining armour. Sometimes he comes on a turtle as it takes too long for his arrival. And rarest among all is, sometimes we never get that Someone Special of our life. Shyna, an extraordinary, super-talented girl, searches for her prince charming everywhere, but what she received was pain and getting cheated in the process. She could easily make people praise her and like her, but she couldn’t make them love her entirely – mind, body and soul. Will these situations make her or break her? Will she become dull, dejected and bitter? Or will she turn herself into a Queen of her own world without a King?

What if their fake relationship wasn't ever just pretend?Sage Carson has a messy reputation. Sure, she's a soccer star with World Cup trophies and Olympic medals, but she's almost as well known for her rebellious behavior off the pitch. She's left enough gorgeous women with broken hearts in her dust to fill a roster. That was, until she got injured.

She's used to it - as an events coordinator for the Denver Zoo, it's her job to handle crises. But when she receives an invite to her ex's wedding, she's not so sure it'll be as easy to handle as an escaped emu during a Girl Scout sleepover. Even worse, when the bachelorette party invite mentions that couples are welcome, she realizes she's the sole single person invited. Fifteen years ago, Willa and Sage roamed the same halls of Edgelake High School. When their paths cross again, they decide to team up to solve both their problems - a stable, albeit fake, relationship to snag the endorsement deal and a hot soccer star to make the couples getaway sting a little less... But when the lines between real and fake start to blur, will they be able to keep the growing heat between them just a game or will they start playing to win?

The total opposite to Melody: with her vibrant, explosive personality and extensive, brightly coloured wardrobe, Freya's birth mother is still apt to find herself thrown out of Top Shop for bad behaviour. Hard as it has been for Freya to try to reconcile her two families, it has been harder for her mothers. Proud of her mature and sensible adoptive daughter, Liv fears Melody's restless influence. Meanwhile, forced to give up her baby when she was just a teenager herself, Melody now craves Freya's love and acceptance - but only really knows how to have fun.

Can they finally let go of the past, and pull together in order to withstand the toughest challenge life could throw them?

Ways to screw up the MMA comeback I've been working so hard on: 1. Check out my trainer's little sister in front of him, which gets me hit in the head 2. Make excuses to stay at the gym afterhours so I can watch her face scrunch up while she balances the books 3. Forget that she's leaving at the end of the summer and we're supposed to be sticking to just friends 4. Get caught making out with her, earning even more hellacious training sessions, along with a warning to stay away 5. Switch my focus to proving I won't stop fighting until she's mine Each book in the Fighting for Her series is STANDALONE: * Until You're Mine * Until We're More

The Book ‘Never Mine’ is about friendship and self-love. Shanaya is the most shy girl in her school and the only person who runs her world crazy is her younger friend Sidharth- the social butterfly. They had been friends for a long time and, as we all know, a girl and boy can’t just be friends. Shanaya develops feelings for her crush, Sidharth, who is totally unaware of the fact. A twist of moment and a bold confession brings them together in a way Shanaya can’t accept nor she can reject and the cost she might have to pay is the friendship she really cherished. This story is about the ups and down a person goes through while learning to love themselves. The question is, will Shanaya finally learn to love herself? And will she lose the friendship and love she had?

I had one reason for never going back to the small town I once called home, but I never guessed it would be the same one that made me want to stay...BrooksI grew up in the small town of Eden, Wyoming, but never really felt like I fit in.Until I met the one boy who changed all that.When we were kids, Xavier Price understood horses, but somehow, he got me too. He'd made me feel like I wasn't just the overdressed, too sensitive fifteen-year-old geek who loved math and didn't always say the right thing. But all that changed the night he threw my trust back in my face and betrayed my family in the worst kind of way.And while I'm back in Eden to make sure my uncle's horse ranch is operating in the black, the one thing I know I won't have to deal with is the man who'd been on the verge of stealing my heart ten years ago.Because Xavier Price is still in prison for what he did and even if he weren't, he wouldn't be foolish enough to show his face in Eden ever again.Right?XavierWrong.That's what returning to Eden after ten years behind bars feels like.

I'd been wrong about the sweet, emotional boy who'd had a habit of wearing his heart on his sleeve anyway.Except fate has decided to have another go at me by tossing Brooks right back into my sometimes too small world. Gone is the scrawny, stars-in-his-eyes nerd who used to do math problems just for fun. In his place is a gorgeous specimen of a man who thinks he can go toe to toe with me and once again destroy everything I've worked for.Not happening.
