River Vonetta has been in an emotional funk for the past week over the sudden disappearance of her boyfriend of two years, Raphael Manson. But when Raphael finally comes back to town (without notifying her of course), River will soon wish that he would have stayed gone. Because ever since his reappearance she soon uncovers all of the lies that Raphael has been feeding her ever since the day they met and the lies only continue to pile up as she gets caught up in Raphael's hidden world and treacherous scheme, which all leads to the ultimate betrayal. The boy who she had fallen in love with and once thought she knew everything about is all of a sudden this stranger that she doesn't recognize. But to her dismay, Raphael's sudden madness is the least of her problems. Seems as if the lies even hit close to home, by her father, who has kept the dark secrets about her mother hidden for years. All of it starts with ancient venom and the demons that lurk through River's very own family tree. And without her knowledge, those demons have already claimed her life as theirs, predestining her future, not as family, but as their prisoner. It will take mounds of courage to fight not only for the truth, but for her and her mother's freedom as well. And the only people that are able to help her are a group of mystical creatures, who are all led by the choleric and reserved, but incredibly sexy Roland. And cause for the undeniable, heated attraction between River and Roland turns out to be more than what she bargained for.

Nobody is ever prepared for the trials and tribulations that life can bring and both Micah Simms and Lailah Snow have had their fair share of such unwanted treatment that, to their own certain degree, haunts them to this very day. But the next hurdle that hits them out of nowhere is one thing you always fantasize about but are never really sure how and when it's going to happen---and that's falling in love. But with a newfound attraction and trust that they develop between each other, will they be able to survive through the revelation of the demons in their past or will it become too much of a challenge and too scary for them to keep their love alive? WARNING: Will contain mild sexual content and language

~~TBGTC's Slogan: A Love Story For the Contagious. How funny will it be if the boy was referred to have the cooties instead of the girl?~~ All my life I've been taught that women are nothing but snakes waiting just the perfect moment to trap you and then sink poison into your veins. So, getting them before they get me is always the way to go. I have rules that I live by (literally) that keep me in check to never fall in love. That's not my life's plan. So sex is just that--sex; and nothing else. I just smoothly move on to the next victim. And my actions have caused some violent scenes and has brought out a childish rumor of me having the cooties. But my dad is proud of me and what I do so I'm proud of me and what I do. Or at least I was. Because I have this strange attraction to the new girl at my school, Alana Atkins. I don't know why because I've never gotten that close to a girl to have an attraction other than a sexual one. But Alana--Alana is different. I guess it's because she's a challenge since she doesn't put up with my bullshit or from the fact that for the first time I don't want just sex from her. But that's not going to stop me from trying. Even after some peeved one-night stands from my past seek out revenge on me or after I find out that one of my best friends has had a fling with her in the past and is now trying to win her back. I want Alana and I want her in my bed. But what happens after I do that? Will I screw her over like I do all my other one-night stands? Or will it all change because of my feelings for her? But love is not the way to go. I won't do it. My dad won't be proud of me anymore. But am I just lying to myself? Who will I choose? Alana or my dad? ~~WARNING: Will contain foul language and mild sexual conduct.~~
