"I'm ready to go home now," Tinsley spoke through heavy breath. The crimson pool expanded across the snow, filling her nostrils with a sickening metallic smell. She closed her eyes and recalled dinner around the plankwood kitchen table, Addie and Matthew beside her. To see the sun rising behind Pan's Peak, shedding rays of light across the lawn of the Livings Ranch. Pleasant Valley had always been just that: pleasant. But that was before her parents disappeared. Before Matthew was lost, swallowed up in the perils of Alpin Wood. And---oh, God-- now this. No, things would never be the same, and there was no going home now. Thanks for checking out In Alpin Wood. I truly hope you enjoy!!! It has been a project of mine for three years, and I will post a new chapter each Monday until the story is completely posted. Love, Mary Katherine

Mika's mother is now happily remarried to a man she loves. Mika's happy for her but there's only one problem...her gorgeous step-brother Adrian. To everyone he was perfect but Mika knew that he wasn't the angel that people thought him to be. This beauty was actually a beast!

Do I jump? Or do I walk away?

..a smile from ear to ear, a smile despite the skin tear..

Tobias now has to decide between the sheltered life he has confined himself to and testing unforseen, dangerous waters.
