**Winner: Licking River Writers Contest** After five years away, Jacks returns to reclaim his life- only to find a lush accountant with curves that fill out her clothes living in the apartment over his folks' pool house. Oh, the attraction is there- but Jacks doesn't believe in love anymore and Sophie can't trust her heart. Amidst murder, deception, mafia threats and a final race to claim the object that could redeem one of their lives- just one, not both- Sophia and Jacks struggle to define what love is, who they can trust and, in the end, exactly the price they may or may not be willing to pay for it all.

For Chrissie Hill, turning thirty is enough of a nightmare. But to hit the big 30...and wake up married? To a man she'd never met or seen before that morning when she finds him on her couch. Race insists they have been married for two years...and he has the proof, but can she make herself believe him? Suffering from an unusual bout of amnesia, Chrissie slowly comes to accept this man in her life -- and the life she didn't know she lived. Love, marriage and happiness had never been sweeter for two people. However, true love doesn't just drop out of her dreams onto her couch...she must go a little crazy first.

Sophie wants nothing more than to just be herself and fall in love, but that is hard to do when you are a princess, and even harder when half of your life is a secret that you're not in on. The cover was done by ScarlettN1GH7. :) The name Sophie was approved by my friend Dylan.

This is only a sample. The first 5, original and unedited, chapters of the story can still be read on Wattpad, but the full story is available in online book stores.

Holly's new, young teacher has a dark past, and a dangerous future. She soon finds herself charmed by his ways, and gets thrown into the chaos.

What is Mr. Heywood keeping from Holly? And why is it so bad? But most importantly, if she falls for him, could their relationship survive? After all... it would be a proscriptive relationship.

Hopefully this story will not fall apart AGAIN...
