Brace yourself for a whirlwind of spells and suppressed feelings as Ennea Bragge and Sebastian Sallow reunite for a Ministry mission gone madcap! When Europe starts sprouting time glitches like pesky weeds, these once inseparable ex-besties face off against rogue enchantments while dodging diplomatic disasters across the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Think waltz-interrupted chases, cryptic clues hidden in pastries, and an impromptu escape on a runaway enchanted train. Known for her daring spellcraft and a knack for misadventure, Ennea must outmaneuver both ancient traps and the smoldering looks from Sebastian - the brilliant-but-brooding guy with a love-hate relationship with all things temporal. Can they survive malfunctioning chronomancers and their own awkward "definitely-just-friends" energy? Get ready for an adventure where dodging cursed objects is almost as tricky as admitting those buried feelings, and one wrong move could unravel not just time, but a bond they might desperately want to mend.

After a prank gone wrong, a high school junior unintentionally becomes a TikTok star and inspires protests against gender-biased dress codes. ⁂ How to go from a high school anonymous to an Internet sensation in five steps: 1. Break into your school during the Open School Night, 2. Protest the ridiculous dress code in a football mascot costume, 3. Smuggle in a dairy cow if you happen to have one, 4. Let your best friend get the whole thing on video, 5. And, miraculously and inexplicably, profit. The only thing that Liz has ever wanted is to win the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Fine, maybe she's aiming high, but a prestigious film academy is well within her reach - at least if she can focus on her film project instead of fantasizing about the local heartthrob, Aiden West. But when the new dress code puts a damper on her pristine student record and her harmless prank turns viral, Liz realizes that she might be starring in a box-office flop after all. Can she make it through this plot twist without getting expelled? And how many drafts will it take her to get the guy of her dreams? 📚 WORD COUNT 📚 ✍ 80,000-90,000 words 🏆 AWARDS 🏆 🏅 This book has been featured on: 🔸 Wattpad's official General Fiction account ("Finding Love | Romance" reading list) 🔸 Wattpad's official Romance account ("Young Love" reading list) 🔸 Wattpad's official Young Adult account ("Love, Actually" reading list) 🔸 WattpadSocialMedia account ("No Filter Needed | Romance and Chicklit" reading list) 🥉 The Thriller Club Awards

Adrian Gonzalez knows the painful truth about liking someone you have no chance with-they never like you back and you're left heartbroken. Ever wonder why it's called a 'crush?' But when the hopeless crush he has is on Parker Thompson-nonbinary school heartthrob with an impeccable fashion sense-he can't help but wish things would turn out differently. Staring at Parker from two seats behind in Biology is fine, and praying he doesn't get a boner when Parker jogs ahead of him in gym class is less fine- -but neither are as satisfying as he wishes they were. A class group chat is all it takes to intertwine Adrian's and Parker's lives. And one impulsive, stupid, never-wish-I-typed-it reply is the turning point for Adrian's love story. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ ☆Featured on @WattpadSocialMedia DM me reading list ☆Featured on @YARomance Friendzone Doesn't Exist reading list ☆ONC 2021 Longlist Ambassadors Pick ☆ONC 2021 Shortlist ☆ONC 2021 Honourable Mention Based on Prompt 73 Started: 5th February 2021
