Cristen Scott:

Sassy. Spirited. Loved.

Aiden Black:

Cold. Empty. Alone.

He wears a scowl like a hat.

She wears a smile as her mask.

What they labeled him is his protection.

Who God made her is her safety.

Two opposites.

But could they be more alike than they realize?

After all, every rose has its thorns.

.•*•.•*•.•*•.

Cristen Scott has never liked group projects. So when she's assigned one as part of her English finals, she doesn't think life could get any worse.

Well, it could.

It just so happens that her partner is the black sheep of Danksworth University.

Aiden Black has nothing left to lose, and that's just how he likes it. So what if it's a bit lonely at times? It's safe. It's the way it should be. And the girl he is partnered with is definitely not going to change that.

Good thing Cristen's always loved a challenge.

As Cristen begins to get to know Aiden, she realizes there might be more to him than just a grumpy persona or lack of social skills. And Aiden realizes it might not be so bad to let someone else into his life.

With a dash of work, a pinch of awkward moments, and a heaping tablespoon of God, maybe Cristen and Aiden will find that they aren't so different after all.All Rights Reserved

Unintended Consequences by eim1993

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

But as Collins moves in and unpacks all her art supplies, all her secrets, Beau starts to wonder if maybe...maybe she wants him after all. And maybe getting the chance to be with her is enough to risk everything. Enough to tip the hidden scales, the ones he's been keeping underwraps.

Beneath his cocky exterior, she senses the fractures he tries to hide-the same ones she's been running from her entire life. Finn's been through hell, and love isn't part of the plan. He's good at keeping his walls high, locking out anyone who might get too close. But then Lily shows up, and suddenly his carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She's everything he didn't know he was missing, and that scares him more than he's willing to admit. But with their pasts threatening to destroy what they could be, and old friends trying to drive a wedge between them, trust becomes their biggest hurdle. And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart.
