A young teenager gets stranded on the infamous Isla Nublar. Having to fare for himself he learns to survive in this hostile world surrounded by danger. Along with the help of an unusual accident and an unexpected friend he will make this island his home, and perhaps he may even find something more. Disclaimer: I own only the characters and their concept. I don't own anything from the Jurassic Park movies and gain no monetary income from this. I'm only writing this for the entertainment and out of respect for the original Jurassic park. Rated M for mature audience, contains blood, gore, violence, action, romance, slight comedy and inter species relations. Please no haters if you think it's missing something, wish to know more, have comments, see any grammatical error I should fix, please send me a message or pm me and I'll do my best to improve the story as well as any other one of my books you like to talk about. Enjoy reading and I hope you like my work. Sincerely X.

Why fight for someone? Love? Money? Power? Sex? Why live when everything you lived for came crashing down leaving you in the world to feign for yourself? The answer to that remains a question within itself: What happens to someone that's been forced to live it all? Niamha wasn't ever supposed to lose her family, move to a new state with the only person she has left, be thrown into a twisted love story and fall for the one who has her heart yet lust after the one that controls her body. Yet as they say 'Shit Happens'. Taking it back is out of the question because in the end the paradise will be worth the trip. Now it's up to Niamha to find out what's worth fighting for. Who's worth fighting for. And if love is the ultimate price to pay for all this fighting.
