How Azazel was murder and his biggest secret

Hi, my name is Melissa. I've never considered myself a strong person, but I didn't realize that at the time. I always struggled to keep a job, never really understanding why happiness seemed so elusive. I thought I was content, unaware that I was, in fact, struggling. I know what you might be thinking, but please, keep reading. Something happened to me during my first year of working at 16 that changed my life forever. It hurt me in ways I couldn't fully comprehend, and while that pain has lessened over time, it shaped the person I've become-someone stronger than I ever imagined I could be. What I thought would destroy me instead pushed me to move to another country, a place where I barely knew the language. At just 24 years old, despite my parents' concerns and their insistence that I shouldn't go alone, I embarked on this journey by myself. Up until then, I had often hidden behind my parents, relying on them to face the world for me. But the events of my past forced me to confront life head-on. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was hiding from the world, keeping my head down, and avoiding the challenges that came my way. But now, I'm ready to share my story, lift my head, and face the world with courage. It's been a journey full of unexpected twists, and I promise you-it's going to get interesting.

Every winter, Rita Serrano visits her grandmother's ski inn to help out and enjoy the holidays. However, her grandmother, Lupe, is getting older and the stress of the inn as well as the cold Vermont weather is affecting her health, and she doesn't know how much longer she has. Her grandmother decides that Rita will be the inheritor of the inn, and that comes with many skills that she needs to learn in 3 weeks. Safe to say, Rita's under a lot of pressure to keep up and become the great innkeeper her grandmother was. Ryland Dawson has been destined to be a carpenter since birth. His dad started his own carpentry company, and Ryland is expected to inherit the company once his dad decides to retire due to his innate skills. However, Ryland doesn't know if he wants to continue the family business, and has a passion for architecture instead. His dad's gruff and macho personality makes him nervous, and he doesn't want to live with possibly disappointing his family. When they meet due to Ryland being hired to make some repairs around the inn, they think that they couldn't be more different. But as they get to know each other and their problems, they realize they're more alike than they think.

Hunter has loved one girl almost all of his life.....but what happens when he actually gets the chance to be with her??

Every night, he enters a world that is totally different from his own; a world in which he has no business or legitimate claim; a family he has never met but somehow recognizes by another name; a person he suddenly realizes is his own but is not his own at all. His distinction between dream and reality is blurred by memories and connections that are perilously close to nightmare and waking, even to the point where they haunt him with their uncertainties about what is real and what lies in the shadows. He becomes increasingly aware that he is unearthing secrets he was never meant to know as he ventures deeper into this alternate reality. What's waiting for him when he wakes up, and why does it feel so damn real?

Stuck in a dream with no memories at all, Sophie has to obey a crazy system and earn what it calls dream tokens by playing a role in the dream. Will she wake up to reality again? Or will she get her memories and break free of the system's control? (The images used in this book are not mine and all credit of the images goes to the artist but I own the story.)
