Married to a powerful businessman feared all-over Portland, Mia Kingston has a reputation to uphold. As the CEO of MK, her own lingerie brand, everyone believes she has everything, including the perfect marriage most women envy. She's beautiful, sexy, strong, fierce, independent, and wildly intelligent, but the void inside her devours each quality she once thought was perfection until she meets Red, her personal bodyguard whose job is to protect her with his life. As Mia navigates the imminent danger surrounding her, with her bodyguard stalking every step she takes, the passion so irresistible becomes riveted. But Patrick Kingston doesn't share. She is his little butterfly and no one touches what's his.

The leaves hadn't even turned brown before the first suicide of the year. At St. Briar's University, the stakes are so high that at least one suicide is expected. In a world full of privilege and royalty, poison and snakes, students are expected to remain as close to perfect as possible-or else. One particular suicide sets off a chain reaction of ghostly events in the students' lives, forcing the students to choose between love and survival. Ugly secrets are uncovered and pretty lies are told, weaving a story in which everyone only cares about image, perfection, money, the social hierarchy, and status. Smile and you will be rewarded, lie and you will be praised. the car a person drives, the clothes they wear, the way they speak, act and breathe determines their worth in society-and everyone wants to be worth more than anybody else. >>> ""Somewhere along the long twisted road we fell off the path and spiraled into beautiful madness.."

- a featured story on wattpad @sport - a featured story on wattpad @generalfiction School has an odd way of making you hate it yet love the people you meet. I hate both. I've been the new boy at my school for nearly five months. Since my family's life of poverty was flipped on its head I've seen my entire world open up; it's like I was living in a cave. This time last year, I was 'too poor to have a Valentine'. This time this year, I just don't have the guts. Seriously, "Valentine's Day is the root of human anxiety." ~ Albert Einstein. (Don't look it up. I'm telling you what 'the government' doesn't want you to know.) But school has an odd way of giving you the perfect friends, a perfect love life and perfectly supporting your dreams to be a pro football player like your older brother. That, or it crushes you. It just crushes you. Your dreams? Crushed. Your friends? Meh. Your love life? Nonexistent (but as soon as it exists, CRUSHED). But we don't know what will happen for sure, right? I'm Roman Turner, but you can call me "the cool man". Gosh, I know I'll cringe at this later. ----------- - a featured story on wattpad @sport - a romance winner at the multi awards - a story told through two points of view • Romance/Sport/Slice of Life | Roman • Prose/Mystery/Psychological | Danielle • BOOK ONE: LIVING. • (EST.) 3390 words/part. • Cover artist - Sage Hieran.

In their eyes there is nothing wrong with their love. Except for the fact that she could get killed if anyone found out. The fact that her mother could get killed. But she's risking it all, for him. *********************************************************************** "Don't cry, don't worry. I ain't got nothing against you. You just stupid." Laughter bubbled up in the boy's chest and she smiled, relieved to have made him laugh. "What's your name?" she asked. "Noah," he said. "What about you?" "I ain't telling you my name. Jus' want to know yours." "Please?" "Fine. Its Bilah." "Will you be my wife, Bilah?" She'd looked at him like he was mad. "You really stupid."
