It's 1854, and the south is thriving on agriculture. Men do the hard work, and women raise the babies.

I feel like I'm being smothered.

I've always been too smart for my gender. Too eager to learn. Too expressive.

I want too much. At least, that's what my father says.

The oldest son of my father's friend is home from college, and he's looking for a wife. And his sights are set on me.

Will I be too much for a man like Easton Abernathy to take as a wife, or will he be intrigued by the knowledgeable woman my father keeps suffocating?

The Dairy Queen by PennyEfternavn

Love in an ice cream shop? Violet Davis thinks the summer after her senior year in high school will be one of the best in her young teenage life, until her mom tells her to get a summer job. Spending all those hot summer nights at the local dairy bar, scooping ice cream for sticky, sweaty toddlers and grandparents is not her idea of a good time-that is until she falls for the bad boy co-worker, the one everyone tells her to stay away from. Let's just say the ice cream in the walk-in freezer isn't the only thing that will need to cool down, especially when we add a boy from high school to the mix; sweet, cute, with a big....heart. Violet's love life becomes just like her favorite soft-serve...twisted. ** This book is rated Mature! If you blush easily, you have been warned. Also, I swear like a sailor...my characters do too. ** ** I like to incorporate music with my chapters, I will often note where I think you should begin a song, this is just a suggestion :) The YouTube video for the music is posted at the top of each chapter.

What If... by RubyxWright
40 parts Complete Mature
A lubricious collection of titillating fantasies driven by everyday possibilities. LIFE... How uneventfully redundant. Cook. Clean. Work. School. Rear children. Help others. Repeat. But what if life didn't have to be a bland and off-key elevator song on replay? What if every activity you deemed "regular" was spiced up with massive helpings of unbelievable pleasure? What if that doctor you dreaded seeing, or that business meeting you hated sitting through at work were actually opportunities for you to live out your wildest fantasies? What if? In this opus of pleasure, you'll discover a plethora of scenarios described in juicy detail that people can only dream about. Hedonism is the theme, and erogenous skies are the limit. You'll never look at your mailman the same after this...

37 parts Complete Mature
A clean slate. People pray for one on occasion, some desperate individuals go to drastic measures to achieve one. I wasn't given the choice. I woke up in a foreign country alone, afraid and with no idea who I am. I was lucky. The reigning monarch of Cynthera and his family took me in, nursed me back to health. There's one problem, the Crown Prince, Emory Bryn. He's not what one would expect and the last thing I should be getting involved with. He has priorities too, his own restrictions. I'm off limits. No exceptions, no alternatives. Trying to discover my identity and navigate my new life is exhausting enough without adding a torrid love affair into the mix. He's a Prince and I, well; I'm a conflict of interest. Fighting our nature, choosing our duties over our desires and things turn hostile in a hurry. When memories of my previous life start to reveal themselves I'm torn between two worlds. The one I've created and come to love and the one filled with questions and hints of something terrifying. How do I keep my new family and return to the family of my birth? There's something dark buried deep in my mind, something I don't know if I can face. A darkness that threatens both my lives. Now I have a choice and it's one I never wanted to make. ISBN #: 978-1537187587
Didn't Really Matter Anyway by GabrielXander
4 parts Complete Mature
That's right, these are just.. my memories. They're flashing before my eyes, but why? Am I dying? No, I can't die yet, there's so much I have to do. And really... I really don't want to relive through these memories. My past... This worthless past. This worthless... "And that fleeting hope where I started to believe that I could fix my life grew so big, I couldn't control it. At that moment, I knew I had to make it back to finish my self-imposed duties." "But in the end, they were nothing but words. I couldn't manage a single thing on my own. At the end of the day, right before my eyes, I'm reminded that I shouldn't have been the one to survive-Not at all." All of my attempts, everything I've been through, and all I had to suffer for, it was all just a pathetic, comical, uninteresting story. [Also on Quotev under GabrielXander]
