Aline Brosh Mckenna

My Crazy Rich Family : Running From My Psycho Father

Excerpt "You are staring at me again, McKenna" his deep voice whispered without opening what she knew to be honey brown eyes. "Yes. Yes, I am. My life is officially a Telenovela series" McKenna sat on the bed and laid her head on his chest. It was a nice solid chest made to be used as an occasional head pillow. "It's not so bad, Oma" He nibbled on her left ear slightly. Oma was an endearing name he loved calling her. Technically, it meant beautiful. "Yeah. Yeah" McKenna murmured again. "It's not so bad. You just told me yesterday, after about six months of marriage that you went to Malawi to help rebuild an Orphanage that belonged to your grandmother but you ended up adopting a six year old African American child that is on the run with her mother from her biological psycho father. What's so bad about that?" McKenna spoke too fast. Now, it was clearer why her brain took long enough to remember where she was. She was a stepmom! Yay! She was twenty four years old and to be a mother to a six year old, she would have to give birth at eighteen. "Baby, look at me" Jason urged her to turn and she did. "You will love Kara. And I know you will make a good mother to her" he kissed her nose. "A mother to a six year old....I was a virgin at eighteen! Your kid would take one look at me and conclude that I am Cinderella's stepmother" "Breathe, McKenna! Breathe....I freaked out too when I realized I was going to adopt her. It took running inside a burning building to save her for me to realize that I love and adore that little girl. I am willing to die for her. She is a Yagazie just like you are, now. Family take care of family" "Why the hell didn't you tell me you had a child before we got married?" McKenna yelled at him. ***" What happens when three powerful families are thrown into the mix together? You get chaos, betrayal and fight till the weaker family gives up. Meet Kara Hope Yagazie; years ago she was just a kid in an orphanage with no identity until one of the most powerful families in Africa adopted her. Kara starts life as an heiress to an empire, armed with the truth from her biological mother who hid her but kept an eye on her. Kara now knows that her biological mother and her are on the run from her psycho father, whose plan is to hunt down and kill them. One powerful family is enough to drive Kara crazy, what happens when she wakes up one day to find out she is now somehow related to three of the most powerful families in the Continent and in Canada. Can Kara survive her new family? Follow the Yagazie’s, the Donna's, The Spencer's and The Anene's as the figure out how to be a family despite the bad blood that went generation long. And while they try to outsmart each other, will they pause when one of them is in trouble? Having a Crazy Rich Family as an enemy might be more than Kane Brown, Kara's psycho father bargained for.

These are the only books in this mini book series. (if you would even call it that) Genevieve James is a seventeen year old girl pretending to be a twenty year old guard for the Royal Family of Aurora. She has been fed up with the traditional mindset of Aurora for awhile now. With this new mindset she decided to tryout to be a bodyguard for the Royal Family, undercover of course. She ended up being so good at the tryouts that she was promoted to be Princess Elaine's personal bodyguard in less than a month, thus beginning her rigorous training and secret keeping abilities. Princess Elaine Beckham is Aurora's upcoming Queen with her coronation being in a mere two weeks. With her mother constantly on her tail about ruthlessly rejecting Princes left and right she decides to take things into her own hands, approving of an arranged marriage between her daughter and a well known Prince. Prince Bane is what you would call 'a wolf in sheep's clothing'. He craves power, yet due to his family's tree he will never be allowed to take the throne. This persuade Bane into agreeing on Queen Beckham's arranged marriage. When Elaine finds out that the two of them plotted this behind her back she is very happy to say the least. Does Elaine go along with the arranged marriage out of fear of disappointing those around her or does she throw the traditional rules out the window and marry her childhood crush?-----------------------------------Book Two<Nothing Last Forever>Delaney Carson is currently one of the most famous singers globally to date. She first rose to prominence when she was only ten years old singing covers on YouTube. At the peak of her YouTube rise she was discovered by a talent scout who recommended that she sign with them and branch out to other ventures, acting being one of them. Hunter 'McKenna' King is currently one of the most famous actresses in America to date. She first began acting when she was only seven years old as a solution to helping her Mother meet bill deadlines. Albeit Hunter acting at seven years old, she did not officially hit her rise until she was ten years old. Delaney and Hunter had no clue of each other's existence until the both of them ran into each other on the set of a powdered milk commercial. The two of them were immediate friends, I would go as far as to say they were the closest on set. All of this friendship came crumbling down the second Delaney accidentally spit her strawberry milk out on Hunter during their last taping. In response to this Hunter poured her chocolate milk over Delaney's head, solidifying her hatred for the girl.

She was an albino, tall with brown boots and yellow dress. Jason couldn’t make out her face from the distance he was standing. ‘Are you the new help?’ Naya asked without looking up. She was placing plates on the tables. ‘No…I am …’ Jason was puzzled that the albino had an accent ‘Don’t just stand there, start setting dinner plate on the table. We have less than five minutes before dinner’ she said without waiting for Jason to introduce himself. Jason dropped his briefcase by the door and carried the pile of plates near the window and started distributing across the table. When he got close enough to her, he saw her face. She wasn’t an albino, she was white. And she was stunning. She looked up and stared at him. ‘You don’t look like a help’ Naya said and her face was expressionless. ‘Probably because I am not, I am Jason and I am your new boss’ Naya stared at him and blinked twice. ‘Do not forget to place the spoons beside the plates, boss’ and she went back to what she was doing, leaving a puzzled Jason to stare at her in shock.

Marie Can't Stop Flirting With The Boys!!

[TAGLISH] [UPDATES: MON-WED-FRI] DISCLAIMER: K-12 was not yet implemented when this story was written. Marie is an ordinary 3rd year high student who's looking forward to her JS Prom next year. She's into designing, so she has decided to design her own gown for the prom. Five boys will change her outlook in life: the best friend, the class president, the delinquent, the musician, and the sports guy. Apart from her studies, friends, and family, how will she handle all these boy-related problems this school year? -- THE BEST FRIEND “Nasprain mo ba yang ankle mo?” Asher frowned at kinuha kaagad yung chips at cola sa akin tapos inassist ako papunta sa couch. Para naman sobrang nabalian ako ng paa nito ah. I pouted my lips as I sat down, “Di ko naman kelangan ng special treatment—“ “Special ka kaya sa akin,” he sat on my left at kinuha yung nasprain kong paa. THE CLASS PRESIDENT Rave raised his hand, “As the president of this class, I will vote Marie Marshall for the position.” I rolled my eyes at him. Ano na naman ba ‘to Rave? “Since you owe me something, maybe being the vice president would suffice,” he added. “I know you’re the president of the Arts Club but if you still need some help, I’m always here to guide you.” THE DELINQUENT Nathan placed his thumb on my lips and rubbed it. He cupped my chin and tilted my head to the side. “Nandito pa rin.” “Ang alin?” inalis ko yung kamay niya. “Yung mark na ginawa ko para sa iyo,” he looked me into my eye. “Ma...mark?” Yung hi..hickey ba yun na ginawa niya nung acquaintance party? “Oo,” he looked down to my lips, my neck, and my blouse. “Para malaman nung iba na may nag-mamay ari na sa iyo.” THE MUSICIAN “Sorry sa nangyari kanina kung bigla na lang kita hinila palabas,” Morgan released my hand. “Baka kasi pagkaguluhan tayo, mahirap na.” “Ah okay lang,” I answered. “Unless...gusto mong pagkaguluhan tayo at maging sikat ka na rin,” he was looking at me. Tumingin ako sa kanya, at parang nagtatanong ang mga mata ko kung bakit. “Syempre, may kasama akong babae. They’ll think we’re dating or...you’re my girlfriend.” THE SPORTS GUY I glared at Flynn, “Kung ayaw mo mag-aral sabihin mo kaagad para hindi nasasayang ang oras kong magturo sa katulad mong tamad.” “Tangina, harsh,” he chuckled and covered his mouth. “Ang ganda mo pag nagagalit ka, ate.” Medyo nag-blush ako dun. Maganda pag nagagalit? Weird. “Alam ko nang maganda ako dati pa.” He grinned widely, “Mas gumaganda ka pag nagagalit ka. Okay na?” -- [BOOK COVER: Credits to the owner of the photo.

CHANGE OF HEART: HEIRS OF LIGHT

THE FIRST BOOK IN "THE HEIRS" SERIES *can be read as a stand-alone* A year after Aline finally did something worthy of being admitted into hunter's rehab, everything is better than ever. Has been trained her whole life to become the perfect killer, Aline never understood the point in murdering innocent creatures just for the plain reason that they crossed her path; a character's trait that was always perceived as a weakness by her mother. A flaw that should be corrected under proper 'supervision'. And if England couldn't handle Aline's and her partner's, misfit William Sappington, outrageous behaviour, Boulder appreciates the helping hand they have given in keeping the Coloradan city safe. This year is their first Halloween at work, and if Aline knows anything about this night, is that supernaturals love to hide in plain sight and wreak havoc during the All Hallows' Night. She expected a couple of wannabe dark witches to make frogs fall from the sky at midnight, or a clan of vampires to try and fail to drain of blood some sorority throwing a costume party. But not him... he had a better reputation. Asher Silveira is preparing for the competition for the Lycan Crown with other candidates in the quiet and peaceful Boulder Creek Pack. Hosted by the Supreme Pack of werewolves until the battles commence, he just wished to train and stay trouble-free during his stay in Boulder. But his plans have been destroyed by the appearance of a daring huntress who matches him in ways that neither of them can understand. "I will forever love you, my only shining light."

El regreso de la heredera billonaria carne de cañón

Hera Avery está trabajando en varios trabajos de medio tiempo para pagar su matrícula universitaria. Está manejando su trabajo y su vida amorosa simultáneamente. Su novio, que es una celebridad en ascenso, la hizo pagar por su costoso apartamento ubicado en un edificio conocido. El edificio también es hogar para herederos y herederas bien conocidos. En el cumpleaños de su novio y su tercer aniversario, ella regresó a su apartamento solo para encontrarlo con otra mujer. Pero, ¿qué obtuvo a cambio? Una bofetada en la cara, una ruptura y fue desalojada del apartamento que estaba pagando con su propio dinero. Después de ser desalojada y quedarse sin hogar, creyó que las cosas no podrían empeorar. Sin embargo, la nueva novia rica de su ex infiel fue más allá contactando con cada establecimiento y persuadiéndolos para que la pusieran en la lista negra. Esto provocó que perdiera sus medios de vida e incluso difundieron rumores de que estaba obsesionada con su exnovio celebridad y fue atacada por sus fanáticos. Sin salida, apretó los dientes. —Abuelo, estoy dispuesta a heredar el consorcio. El Viejo Maestro Avery se rió a carcajadas después de escuchar su convicción y le hizo una transferencia bancaria a Hera. [Has recibido una transferencia de dinero de $100,000,000,000 a tu cuenta que termina en ####] [Nota: Mi querida nieta, usa este dinero para regalarte lo que desees. No escatimes, y si te lo gastas todo, no dudes en pedirme más.] Hera estaba asombrada. Cuando su identidad fue anunciada, su exnovio se arrodilló y lloró ante ella, para que volviera con él. —¿Crees que es tu turno? —dijo sarcástico el Protagonista masculino 1—. Mira atrás. Cuando su exnovio miró hacia atrás, vio a hombres influyentes alineándose con ramos de rosas para cortejar a Hera. —Es tu culpa por ser ciego —comentó frío el Protagonista masculino 2—. Llora y suplica, pero no tendrás ninguna oportunidad mientras nosotros estemos aquí. —¿Quieres que te rompa las piernas? —amenazó el brutal e impaciente Protagonista masculino 3. —Solo eres una pequeña estrella —se mofó el rey del entretenimiento Protagonista masculino 4—, pero ¿quieres pasarme por encima? —Me aseguraré de que quedes apartado —advirtió el temperamental Protagonista masculino 5. —¡Cariño, están intentando robarte de mí! —exclamó el coqueto Protagonista masculino 6. Viendo a los problemáticos Protagonistas masculinos, Hera sentía que se acercaba un dolor de cabeza sin saber qué hacer. —Entonces, ¡déjemoslo fluir!
