At sixteen, Journey Durant hasn't yet experienced her first anything. No first boyfriend. No first date. No first kiss. But, that's all about to change. Two boys at West Emerson High are vying for her attention: the MVP quarterback and the school's reigning bad boy. David Britton is the sensible choice. He's attractive, responsible, and every mother's dream-including hers. But David and Journey are from two different social universes where David is the sun in his, and Journey is a moon rock in hers. He's the most popular guy in school, and Journey is just background noise. She has a hard enough time accepting that he truly wants to be her friend, much less anything more. And then there's Steven Drake. Steven has dominated Journey's fantasy life for as long as she can remember. He has a short list of things he cares about and school, the future, and what anyone thinks of him aren't on it. Journey finds the element of rebellion he emanates to be intoxicating. But, as much as Steven excites her, she knows there's trouble down that road. So, who will be her first? Mr. Most Likely to Succeed or Mr. Most Likely to Go to Jail? ***To Be Her First is the prequel to The Bed She Made. Chronologically, this story happens first, but The Bed She Made is a standalone novel.***

He said with a tone that meant he wasn't done. Love is just a word until someone comes up and gives it a definition. Maybe Alex is my definition. Maybe I’ve waited long enough; maybe he’s the one I’ve been searching for. But… We're all in the same game; just different levels. {Sequel to Let's Play a Game}

It has been almost 250 years since the nuclear World War VI that wiped out the majority of humanity ended. Since then, a government has risen, calling themselves the New Society. It's leaders have told the citizens that their only goals are to achieve absolute perfection, and to repopulate humanity. For almost two hundred years, the people have been told that life outside of the domed society is impossible, because the nuclear and atomic bombs destroyed most of the earth, and tore holes in the atmosphere during the war. The leaders say that the society is all that's left, and justice must be served. It was this that led to all descendants of WWVI leaders to be placed into institutions, where they are tortured and trained to serve their future masters. They are termed entertainers, and at the age of eighteen, they are auctioned off, left to the mercy of their owners. Entertainers are essentially concubines, but any relationship beyond slave and owner is strictly forbidden, and punishable by death. It's a risk many people are not willing to take, but there are exceptions to every rule. Nevaeh Williams has a past unlike the majority of the other entertainers. She's forbidden from sharing her past, but her experience has led her to both fear and despise the New Society. After two years in the institution, she's auctioned off to a young billionaire. Noah Ivanov is withdrawn and mysterious, hiding a secret of his own. As things heat up between them, a shaky truth comes to light that forces them together. A person from their separate yet intertwined pasts comes seems to haunt their every move, and they must secretly fight against the New Society, in order to discover their government's true plans. Can Nevaeh and Noah overcome the odds they face, and bring justice to someone they've both lost? Will they fall in love in the process? And most of all, will they be executed for learning of the New Society's true nature?

*WATTPAD FEATURED & HOT STORY* (Completed) My grandfather had once told me that life was an unpredictable beast-one moment calm with a full belly and heavy eyes, and the next, digging its paws in the dirt, snarling just before it took down its next victim. Until recently, I would argue with that notion, listing all the reasons why my life was as predictable as the tides coming and going. While I listened, I was young and never put much thought into a lot of the things my grandfather told me, but all that changed when the Hunters moved back to Sandpoint. More specifically, Wes Hunter. That was when the impossible became possible and the predictable became unpredictable. As Abigail Rose looked down on her new world, she couldn't deny the things she had seen and all the things she had learned. There were days she wished she could go back to her old life, but she had changed. Evolved. She was no longer a love-struck seventeen year old. She was a chosen leader and her path was undeniable. The black and white was fading to gray, and the only thing between mortals and immortals was her. "Dani Hart's compelling writing style had me hooked from start to finish. I read this book and I am already hanging out for the sequel! This is one of those books that I could gush on about for ages so let me just say that I highly recommend this book to everyone that loves YA- it's definitely a must read!" ~Land of Literature "Midnight Rose is addicting and so good. It's a start of a new world, with so much going on. Author Dani Hart tells the story so beautifully, with teases of so many things, that's to come. As she gives us bits of pieces of what we can look forward to, I was left so excited for the next installment of the Midnight Series." ~Four Chicks Flipping Pages All Rights Reserved
