All she wanted was a kitten to keep her company on her new farm, but new to town Aria Williams was finding that difficult to achieve. Having to escape her life, where her best friend ran off with her boyfriend, she broke ties with her successful band and left her life of fame behind her. Scarred and battered Flynn Logan saw trouble on the horizon at Aria's arrival. As one of the veterinarians of their small community, he would never simply sell his kittens. Aria had to earn one. His years in a war zone had taken a rough toll and left him with little trust for human society. In his world, his kittens would have the choice of who they wanted to live with and he stuck by those rules, until her. After a tumultuous beginning, Aria begins to see something in him that rarely existed in her fame filled world. She saw a uniqueness behind his surly expression, and although she didn't want it, she found herself drawn to him. When her secret is discovered, she can only wonder if their budding relationship can survive the news. Perhaps Flynn would be more resilient than she thought. He could lead her to greater heights than she had ever known, only time would tell.

Stop you do not find him attractive. I kept thinking that telling myself this would help me...but it didn't.

"Sometimes you meet someone and it's so clear that the two of you, on some level belong together. As lovers, or friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, wether you understand one another or you're in love or you're partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I dont know if that makes me believe on coincidence, or fate or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something." Well Adam Blake was my something. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Alexis Cooper and Adam Blake have always seemed to cross paths over the years one way or another. But will their paths finally be intertwined?

Watty Finalist: Mystery/Thriller, On the Rise I see him vividly in my head. Him. The guy who calls himself A for whatever reason. The guy dressed in a black cloak with a hood that makes his face look like an endless sea of darkness. The guy whose voice is like velvet; so smooth; yet so deep and dark it sends chills down my spine every time he speaks. The guy whose simple words and actions are enough to send my heart into a frenzy. The guy whose black-as-night eyes captivate me day and night. The guy who enjoys teasing me and making me angry, like it's one of his new hobbies. The guy who has the power to make my legs turn to jelly in an instant. The guy whose past is so deep, dark, and bottled up that it scares me. The guy who spends most of his time stalking me; visiting me at night. The guy whose arms hold me so tight and securely. The guy who evokes feelings in me that honestly scare the hell out of me. But he's not just a guy. He's a criminal. The criminal that calls me cupcake.
