Full version of Second Edition available on Amazon and via Kindle Unlimited. Chris Sinclair fades under a dark cloud after losing his mother to cancer. On the cusp of adulthood, he doesn't know where he should go or how to get there. But watching life pass him by was never the plan, and when he is forced to attend a concert in an attempt to coax him out of his shell, he discovers that life might have more to offer. Dante Heron holds the audience between his delicate bow and the tips of his fingers. He plays the violin as if every heart is his to command, but the discipline needed to perfect his skills has left him with nothing to spare. He's a fire that burns too bright or not at all-unpredictable and demanding. When Chris is unexpectedly offered a job to travel around Europe as Dante's assistant, or 'friend', he surprises himself by accepting. Their journey barely starts before Chris realizes he's in over his head. Every step along the way is fraught with tension, and the farther they go, the closer they veer to a breaking point. Invisible strings are at play, stitched into Dante's life by those who should have taught him how to love. Perhaps Chris is right to be afraid, but sometimes, what you fear the most is what you can't afford to lose.

However, even though they have told each other various secrets, (y/n) has always kept this one hidden: she's in love with the brains of the group, Ignis. Of course, even through the multiple and obvious signs she's given about her affections, the guy just doesn't see it at all! How will she react when she sees the man of her dreams slowly slipping away from her? And how will she be able to beat her rivals that threaten her chances of claiming Ignis's heart as her own? But, little does she know she's the one clueless about the affections she's been given... *I do NOT own any of the characters except the OCs and the plot.*

Your life has been ordinary for years. Hanging out with your friends during school and summer, taking horse-back riding every Sunday, and in your free time playing wii games with your little sister Ashley. One day your best friend Brooke took you to her special surprise; and you met someone with a poker face mask. Strangely, the two of you clicked and instantly became friends. You called each other just to know what was going on, and sometimes you went horseback riding together. Just for the fun of it. Who knew that a simple phone call could ruin your ordinary life.
