Olivia Winters is ambitious, creative, and unapologetically herself. As a fashion design student, she has a keen eye for style and a natural talent for sketching women's clothing. She's independent, outspoken, and not easily impressed, which makes her a challenge for anyone trying to get close to her. Olivia has a sharp wit and isn't afraid to speak her mind, but underneath her tough exterior, she has a vulnerable side that she doesn't let many people see. Lucas Foster is confident, athletic, and effortlessly charming. As a college soccer player, he's competitive and driven, but when it comes to Olivia, she's the only game he can't seem to win easily. He's flirtatious and persistent, always ready with a cocky grin and a teasing remark. While he may seem laid-back on the surface, he's deeply loyal and protective of the people he cares about. ** Olivia and Lucas have a relationship filled with tension, banter, and undeniable chemistry. From the moment they met, sparks flew-sometimes in the form of heated arguments, sometimes in stolen glances that neither of them wanted to acknowledge. Their dynamic is electric, built on playful challenges and moments that gradually chip away at Olivia's walls. Lucas is relentless in his pursuit, but Olivia makes him work for every inch. She challenges him, keeps him on his toes, and refuses to fall for his usual charm. But beneath all the teasing and push-and-pull, there's something real-something neither of them can ignore. Their love story unfolds over the summer, a season of late-night conversations, unexpected moments, and the kind of slow burn that makes every touch, every glance, and every kiss feel like a victory. They may drive each other crazy, but at the end of the day, there's no one else who makes them feel more alive. Started-07/06/24 Ended - 02/21/25

[Completed] Taylor Daniels. Average name, average face, average girl. What about her life? Well, that's a bit complicated. Finding out her werewolf heritage was not part of the seemingly normal life Taylor lived. She'd always been the strong but silent type, concentrating on getting good grades and pleasing her mother. But all that changes when she's merely picked up and dropped into the world of werewolves. She'll have to dust herself off and learn to live with the fact that her life was a lie. What's even more deranged is that her life is at risk. And who can possibly help her? Her so called "mate" Leo Knight. A forced marriage between the two is the only thing keeping her safe, but what happens when this little compromise turns into a whirlwind of attraction, hate, jealousy, and possible love? Can Taylor hold on to her only hope of sanity, or be whisked away in the world of werewolves, where her family, herself included, are a bunch of overgrown dogs? Taylor may seem shy on the outside, but dealing with a sarcastic, rude, arrogant mate has her standing up for herself and ultimately, facing her crazy consequences. Despite her situation, the confusing part is the possible attraction she has to Leo. And to think, it all started with two simple words..."I Do." THIS BOOK IS CURRENTLY BEING EDITED! If you are fine with reading it as is, go ahead! But I am currently editing it to remove multiple grammatical errors, as well as improving the story line and filling in some missing gaps that I failed to address the first time writing this. The finished product will be up soon! If you still would like to read this book, go ahead but you have been warned!
