All my life, I've been warned about The Beast. He stalks in the night, attacking and ending the life of any creature he comes upon. No regret. No emotion. No mercy. He's faster than light, and as graceful as the wind. He is relentless. Powerful. Some say, a living demon. His fangs are sharper than a blade, and his eyes as dark as the night. Nothing can stop him- nothing except us. My people. We hold the secret to ending the Beasts forever and making sure they never return. One shot- that's all it takes. I am a Protecter, assigned to keep my village and people safe from the Beast and his brothers. I've been trained my whole life to be the fastest, the smartest, and the strongest. Without these qualities, I wouldn't last a day outside the village gates, defending my people. I'm ready to fight The Beasts- more determined than I've ever been before about anything else. I yearn for the moment my silver arrow pierces their heart and the torture of constant fear is forever silenced. I have to avenge my father's death if it's the last thing I do. But revenge is the last thing on my mind when I meet a real live Beast, which is nothing if not human. In fact, he's like no other creature I've ever seen. Very dangerous...and yet very beautiful. Just the sight of him takes my breath away. I know that he is the enemy. I know that I should never trust a beast. Never. But somehow..I start to.

Ive never felt this way before about somebody. Sometimes I wish I wouldnt feel it at all. At other times I wish I could feel more than just what I remember before you left. My name is Charles. But most people call me by my middle name, Ramsey. I live in a small town called Miami in northeastern Oklahoma where there is practically nothng to do except to go see a movie or to go bowling. Ive lived here for twenty two years and I plan to leave after I get my associates degree in music from the two year college here in town. Its not a very big college but we get people from all over. Theres a lot of students from Miami that say they are going to leave and never come back. But theres a small percent that just stay here to continue going to school here because its cheap and close to home. Im in the small group that stayed. And if I hadnt stayed I wouldnt have ever met the girl I love with all of my heart.

I killed the only man I knew and loved. Well shit. Will I let the pain consume me or will I find light in my darkened days. Or will I die from too much exposure of Jay's cocky, arrogant, ignorant, unhelpful, snobby voice. I don't know, but probably the last one. I do know that I'm hungry for redemption.

Roxi Tallon doesn't quite fit in with the rest of her picture perfect family or pastel wearing classmates. This misfit prefers the company of her long time best guy friend (and secretly crushing on her) Max and fiery girl Cali. They're all she needs, until a new guy makes his appearance in her life in a less than graceful debut. Haylen Winters is your typical rock loving, skinny jean and band tee wearing hottie that drops into Roxi's life complete with an arrogant attitude and a foot in his, usually smooth-talking, mouth. As Roxi and Haylen collide sparks begin to fly, but half the time they can't tell if they're the good or bad kind. Roxi does her best to avoid the blue-eyed menace that is turning her dull life as an outcast upside-down with his annoying smirk, while Haylen himself tries to fight against the spunky female that has his already shaky world spinning. Both resist the cliché romance, but will they be able to refuse much longer? (Copyright, All rights reserved)

What else could go possibly wrong in such a short time of a few months?
