Amethyst Giselle Washington finds herself living a fast life and chasing a version of herself she'll never know. One night at the club will change her life forever...

Noelle Grimes is good at keeping people at a safe distance. Then she meets Damien. He's the stranger who catches her staring in an elevator. The man who listens while she spends twenty minutes praising a painting-without telling her he's the one who painted it. And somehow, between late-night phone calls, stolen coffee breaks, shared dinners, and a jacket that slowly becomes a permanent fixture in her hallway, Damien starts slipping past every wall Noelle has spent years building. He should be exactly the kind of complication she avoids. Instead, being with him feels dangerously easy. But Damien has scars of his own, and when Noelle discovers that their first meeting wasn't quite as accidental as she believed, the fragile trust between them begins to crack. Because for Noelle, letting someone close has never been the hard part. Believing they won't hurt her is. And just when she finally starts to imagine a future she never planned for, someone else's attention turns into something far more dangerous-forcing Noelle to decide whether protecting herself means walking away... or finally letting herself fall. An emotional contemporary romance about trust, chosen family, healing, and finding the courage to choose love without losing yourself. © 2026 Jessica M. S. All rights reserved.

Chloe has always been good at handling things on her own. Until she isn't. Within months, she loses her job, falls behind at university, can no longer afford her rent-and ends up on the doorstep of the last person she ever expected to ask for help. Finn has known Chloe his whole life. He knows exactly how stubborn she is, exactly how badly she hates needing anyone, and exactly why letting her stay with him is a terrible idea. Because somewhere between late-night study sessions, shared breakfasts, and a kiss that changes far more than either of them intended, the girl he grew up with becomes the one person he can no longer keep at a safe distance. But Chloe isn't the only one who has spent years pretending she's fine. Finn carries a loss he has never stopped blaming himself for-and the closer Chloe gets, the more convinced he becomes that loving her can only end one way. Chloe is finally learning that accepting help doesn't mean giving up control of her life. Finn will have to learn that loving someone doesn't mean he is destined to destroy theirs. And this time, neither of them can do the hard part for the other. IF YOU LET ME is an interconnected standalone in the People We Choose series.

My attempts at one shots. Enter at your own literature peril. ;)

Penny: I still remember the first moment our eyes met, something happened. Those icy blue eyes. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I could feel the magnetic pull and we're both helpless against it. Our eyes met constantly across the room. He would be the first to tear his eyes away. He's so powerful, though. So charismatic. He's a lycan. I'm just a regular werewolf. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I made up my mind that I would make him love me. I would fight for what I want. I would deny my own mate if it means I get to keep him. Three years I went after him single-mindedly. I laid my heart out for him. He kept pushing me away. Then one day he pushed too far...and I'm tired of fighting for us. There's no us. I'm just a fool. I'm done fighting. I made up my mind that I'm going forget him. I'm going to go out there and lose my virginity, over and over again if I have to. I mean, why hold on to it, right? It's not like I'm getting an award for keeping it the longest. Not likely that my mate will keep his virginity for me. Darius certainly didn't. Why the double standard? So, why can't he just leave me alone now? Why is he so hellbent on breaking me? Stupid lycan. Ughhh...stupid, stupid lycan. Darius: The moment I laid my eyes on her, I knew she's my erasthai. The one. The exotic looking dark haired beauty. Dark eyes taunting me. Haunting me. Only I'm not looking for the one. I'm a warrior, there's no room for a mate. A mate will make you weak. My enemies could get to me through my mate. Then it happened. She finally gave up. For some reason, it makes me mad. Not only did she give up, but she gets this crazy idea that she's going to lose her virginity to some random stranger. Fvck that! That's not going to happen. Nobody else is touching her. I'll make her wait until she finds her mate. She's so stubborn, though. She's driving me crazy. So, why can't I leave her alone?

Flicker never wanted a mate, especially an alpha one. She strongly believes that with an alpha mate, she would lose all her freedom and independence, two things that she values most . What will happen, when the two controlling and dominant alpha's arrive at Flicker's pack; claiming that she is their mate. "As Luna, will I be equal to you"; I question, unsure at this moment if I was overstepping my boundaries. The car is silent for a moment before they both snort with laughter, but the laughter quickly dies and the Alpha's become deathly serious. "You will never be equal to us, you are higher than the pack wolf and slightly higher than our beta but you will never have equal power than us"Connor states arrogantly as if it's the most obvious thing in the world "We will decide when to mark you and then we will decide when you will have our pups and rest assured you will have many pups"Jake says his tone deathly serious as if he is daring me to question him. Warning: Contains abuse and confronting scenes not for younger readers.

"You want it slow or fast, baby?" He whispered in her ear. "It doesn't matter," Valentina answered. Deontae smirked as he gave her just what she needed. Valentina started throwing her ass back as Deontae thrusted in and out of her. It wasn't too fast but it wasn't too slow either. It was the perfect pace. "This mine, right?" He asked as he smacked her ass. Would you believe me if I told you they were best friends and Deontae's been having Wet Dreams about Valentina? But this wasn't a dream, this time it was real. Read to find out how he told her about these dreams he's been having. Self-Publishing ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Any unauthorized reprint or use of the material is prohibited.
