Falling, Falling, and Fallen

Falling, Falling, and Fallen

by Ahanaa Rose

His cold eyes raked my body, and I hated the tremble that went down my spine.

“Of course, I remember you,” he said, his lip curling. “I never forget a good fuck.”

Anger surged through me, and I cocked back my hand for a slap, but he caught it easily.

He smirked, thinking he’d won. But he’d forgotten about my other hand…

Which I curled into a fist. And fired into his face.

Four years ago, Lina shared a passionate night with her boss, the elusive billionaire Aaron Blackwood. But then he disappeared, leaving her to deal with the fallout. So when they meet again at a fancy gala, tempers run high. But what will he do when he discovers the two little secrets Lina kept from him all these years?

Something About You

Something About You

by J. Nathan

Kason

I’m what you call a god, a superstar, a winner.

I’m good at everything I do and

I know exactly how to get what I want.

Being a professional snowboarder is my purpose in life.

I’m only at Cranmore University to appease my parents.

But, if I want to graduate, I need to pass physics.

And, since failing is not an option,

Blackmailing a nerd who hates me is my last resort.

Shay

I’m what some call a geek, a nerd, a loser.

And I don’t care.

I know who I am.

I know where I come from.

And I know exactly where I’m going.

That’s why I’m at Cranmore University.

To get my degree and begin my life.

But that plan gets quickly derailed

Thanks to an unbecoming video

A blackmailing snowboarder

And his ex who’s hell bent on making my life miserable.

They say everyone comes into your life for a reason.

What happens when that person is the opposite of what you want

but exactly what you need?
