Summerread Stories

She is the warmth he never wanted... and the only one he would ever burn for. Alara Volkov, daughter of Ava and Alex Volkov, is a sweet, sunshine girl who grew up sheltered by her mother's love and her father's protection. After finishing school, she's ready to explore the world through an internship. What she doesn't expect is to find herself staying in the same hotel as Renner Harper, the son of her mother's friend and the future heir of Harper security. Renner is there for work, but fate has other plans when he's tasked with protecting Alara. Confident he can keep things strictly professional, Renner never anticipated how hard it would be to resist her. This story is still on for editing so some things might be confusing. Hope you love it.

Abby wanted love. It was all she ever hoped for during late-night movie marathons and quiet evenings lost in her favorite novels. What she hadn't expected was to find it in her childhood best friend, Sebby. It was the hand-trembling, heart-thumping kind of love-the kind that wasn't supposed to happen after years of sharing homework, snacks, and secrets. But it all ended the day she saw him with someone else, and she promised herself she'd never let herself fall for him again. A year later, in a busy Manhattan bar in River North, there he was-Sebby, looking just as perfect as she remembered. Maybe it was the soft lights, or the way his hair curled just above his eyes, but when he asked her to be his fake girlfriend for his sister's wedding... she couldn't say no. Another chance to be near him. Another chance to maybe fix the mess from before. Another chance to be his friend again after all those years-and after all her own silly mistakes. How could she possibly say no? All the stress from senior-year regrets, all the heartbreak she'd never fully gotten over, didn't seem to matter anymore. Every little touch, every glance from Sebby made old feelings bubble up, and Abby found it harder and harder to keep her heart in check. Maybe she should've said no this time too. Maybe she should've tried to protect herself from falling for him all over again.

They're not just playing for the win - they're playing with each other's last nerve. Katherin Min is the rising star of tennis - disciplined, deadly, and done with drama. Landon Reyes is the two-time champion with a smirk that has gone viral more times than she can count. They have history - and not the good kind. A disastrous summer tennis camp. A feud gone viral. And an awkward championship photo last season. So when Kat's mixed doubles partner gets injured just before the French Open, and Landon is flown in as her last-minute substitute, it feels less like fate... and more like sabotage. The press wants chaos. The fans want romance. And Kat? She just wants to survive the tournament without strangling Landon with her sweatband. Enemies. Teammates. Trouble. Game on.

Some prose personal to me. This was a final project for one of my undergrad English classes, and someone told me I should share it online, so here it is.
