ALL PARTS WILL BECOME FREE ON JULY 15th - In six months, Gwen Johnston turns thirty, and when she does, she vows she'll have her life together. She'll no longer be jumping from one job to another, from one relationship to the next. A new, more mature, Gwen will have emerged. She's giving herself one last hurrah across Canada to let all the wild out before she settles into the life her family wants for her. 

Blake Robinson knows what heartbreak feels like. It started with the realization his parents only truly cared about themselves. It expanded when he watched people surge after his medical convoy every time Doctors International withdrew from a violent area.  It overwhelms when he watches the only woman he's ever loved die a thousand deaths in his nightmares. 

When Doctors International's latest assignment in the Democratic Republic of the Congo turns sour, Blake is given a mandatory six month leave of absence to take care of his mental health. After a phone call from his youngest sister asking him to walk her down the aisle in a few months, Blake opts to meander across Canada to arrive at his sister's doorstep just in time.

But a chance encounter in British Columbia ends with Gwen and Blake agreeing to be adventure buddies. With a set of travel rules almost as long as their trip from British Columbia to Newfoundland, Blake and Gwen are destined to break every one, and in the process discover what they truly value.

[COMPLETE] Some bonds can't be broken, even in death. -- He couldn't endure another heartbreak. "Accepting her would be a mistake," he said. "She's a human. I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent. And whose death he could never forget. "It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor. "I won't take that chance." Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his.

Comments from Wattpad readers of the MATURE version of #LoveScenes: I have read hundreds of different fandoms but never once any of that was this detailed and meticulous. You take real characters and real titbits and spin them in such a way to make a riveting story. It is really impressive... The balance of humor & Jamie's dark side is perfect in this story! Your writing prowess keels me over every time!! Of course, these two chapters were hot as f*ck but the depth to both characters was appreciably depicted. This is THE best Damie story I have read! I like Jamie's bloodlust aspect. Awesome!! This was much hotter than the actual elevator scene! Congrats! What an awesome chapter! Fantastic. You write seamlessly and really captured the essence of their being. Very thorough and descriptive. Very realistic too, surprisingly. That's the one thing I think is hardest about fan fiction. Capturing the essence, the personality, behavior, traits of the characters.

[FORMERLY KNOWN AS 'MY HEALER'] A business arrangement between a personal doctor and her billionaire patient begins to turn into something more complicated when an unforeseen spark starts flickering between these two contrasting beings. *** Thirteen months in a coma changes Jayden Stanley into the most arrogant and detached person that ever exists. With an urgent need to disconnect from the world and his aggressive mood disorder, he only wants to be isolated in his room so he can wallow in misery without having to interact with anyone. Predictably, when a medical physician, Maria Patterson, is assigned to tend to him in the comfort of his home, he can not be more displeased for the 'unneeded disturbances'. In his plan to get rid of the doctor who is nothing but a pest to him, he acts unimaginably cold toward her and basically expresses his hatred in every possible way. However, despite his disrespectful and indifferent attitude, Maria always finds herself crawling back to his regal estate with high hope for his recovery, because she can sense that there is this delicate soul hidden deep beneath his frosty exterior. Gradually, as she attends to him, she slowly starts to see the cracks in his iron shell, realizing that behind his dark façade lurks a wounded spirit. But that is not all. She also can't deny the warm feeling that starts to bloom under her touch: affection for Jayden, and she knows she is not the only one. ***

⚠ Warning sexual content!!! ⚠ *Book 1 of the "Unexpected Lovestory" Series* She loved her husband more than her last breath. She was blinded, deafened and suffocated in his love. She gave him everything but he was a receiver, never a giver. The only things he gave was confusion. He gave manipulation and he gave her mind the masqueraded ideals of his "undeniable love" when the only person he loved was himself. He had plagued her mind, so much so that when he suggested an open relationship he made her believe it was her idea but she never wanted that. She wanted him and only him. He wanted her and everyone else he could get. But that all changed when Tobias Wrexler walked in... ©️ Copyright 2020 Demii Jada R. ©️ All Rights Reserved.
