"I found you once, if the universe allows it I'll find you again." ------------ Melany Marshall, if people had to describe her they would all use the same words: Focused, driven and one hell of a beauty. The beautiful brunette hasn't had much luck in the love scene, and honestly? She doesn't even care anymore, she just wants to graduate and go to law school. Educational validation is the only thing that has kept her on the rails after all. But then she meets the one and only Blake King, the womanizer that just moved to town, but why? He might look like mister perfect but what is he hiding underneath that handsome face? Everyone has a story, it doesn't matter how ugly or painful they are. All our souls long for is to create new ones with the people they love. - - This book is labeled mature due to use of strong language and mature (triggering) topics. - - First few chapters are in need of some deep editing, (punctuation and grammar mistakes) it gets better the further you get into the story.

Nova has always fought for what she believes in, until she no longer knows what that is. Commander Nova, member of the Salineers and second in command on spaceship Salina, has been on the run ever since her father, Izarius Sol, got her mother killed by forcing her to enter a Dignitori match two weeks after giving birth. Izarius Sol, Nova's father, has been searching for his daughter ever since she disappeared five years ago, his dream of having one of his offsprings winning the Intergalactic Cup and winning even more money off of her pushing him to follow every single trace he finds of Nova - until he no longer has to, his long lost daughter balancing between life and death before him. Now, Nova has no recollection of her past, a fact her father takes full advantage of, promising her that she had always dreamed of becoming the Champion of the Intergalactic Cup and marrying a man named Xazer, the Champion from four years ago. But what happens when Nova's old teammates start appearing in her life again, and memories begin to come back to her, bit by bit? And what will happen once she realises what her father has done? ***** Author's note - I will be updating irregularly, but there should be one chapter up every week.

After an offended Greek goddess sends Kenna back in time to Elizabethan England, she discovers she must stop the theft of Shakespeare's best known tragedy before returning to her century, all while resisting the charms of the theatre's Romeo. ***** After being dumped via voice note, Kenna Fernsby is convinced there was never a tale of more woe. Offended by the insult to true tragedy, a Greek goddess banishes Kenna to Elizabethan England, where she stumbles upon a plot to steal the priceless first draft of "Romeo and Juliet" from right under William Shakespeare's nose. Determined to outwit the thieves, Kenna dives into the intrigue, even when doing so may tangle her healing heart with a man from the past and force her to choose between the 16th century life she has fallen in love with and the fate of the play she loves as much. [[Wattys 2021 Winner in Historical Fiction]] [[Word count: 80,000 - 90,000 words]] The quotes from Romeo and Juliet used in this story were taken from the iBooks edition of the play.
