Losing her mother sends Samara Amison to California. Two months in and she still hasn’t found a place where she belongs. Finding something that helps her live her life again is what she searches for, when she finds it what happens if it has the possibility of doing even more than that? Like learning how to love herself, and maybe even someone else along the way.

Eighteen year old Aliesa Grace is starting her Senior year at high school. Fresh out of college, twenty-two year old Samuel Denn is beginning his first year as a Art teacher. These two happen to have been best of friends, almost like brother and sister, growing up until four years ago when Sam left for college. Four years is a long time, they have both changed and when they see each other will it be like old times or is there something new humming in between them? Both are in for a ride when Aliesa is put in one of Sam's classes, raising the awareness of each other to one another because they both happen to love Art. And, everyone knows that Art is a messy subject.

Jasmine lives with her 'step-father' Darren and half-brother Kaleb. After so many years in foster care a real permanent home seems like it is just a cruel joke. When she moves and meets a guy named Venus, or 'Ven', who tests her self-control she has to keep a eye own her emotions because he is stirring them up. His unkempt appearance and inked skin suggest a real tough guy and Jasmine might be venturing into the danger zone with trying to get to know him. Is it something that they should look into, or is something as foreign as the word 'love' to the both of them going to tear them farther and farther apart. On the other hand, when strange calls are being made to her address she thinks it is her long-lost father that walked out on her before she was born. Jasmine is starting to feel less and less like someone who needs to worry about the consequences and more and more like a girl who is one the brink of finding some answers. What will the outcome be when the person she solely tries to ignore becomes the person she wants nothing else but the company of?

Hi. First off, I don't know who I am. I don't know my own parents, my own friends......if I even have parents or friends. All I can remember is waking up in an abandoned alleyway in between a bar and a tattoo shop. Yeah, not a very pretty place to get your beauty sleep. First thing I did was try to figure out where i was....who i was. But thats when i noticed no one would even pay attention to me....it was like i wasn't even there. Because really i wasn't. Another thing i noticed, i have a reflection. you cant see me but if i walk in front of a mirror a girl, with dark brown wavy hair, electric blue eyes, and a 5'6 slender but with some curves frame, is staring at you. I have no idea what happened to me, why i am the way i am right now.....but i want to figure that all out. Fast. ****
