CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REWRITTEN!

Have you ever been so down on your luck, that you thought there was no way out? Have you ever been so desperate that you'd except a job from a complete stranger, and sign a job contract without even reading the fine print? Amelia Hayes is a 20 year old girl who has always been on her own and looked out for herself. On the day that Amelia gets fired from her job she also receives a shocking notice from her landlord telling her to be out of her apartment by the end of the week. As the end of the week draws near, Amelia is depressed and worried about what to do when her last job interview falls through and she's left with the realization that she will be homeless, jobless and more alone then she has ever been in a matter of hours. When Amelia has finally given up she meets an amazingly beautiful and mysterious young guy, who seems to be well off by the look of things. He kindly offers her an ear to listen and surprisingly she allows herself to confide in him. What will happen to Amelia when the young guy gives her a way out of all her problems by offering her a job as his personal assistant? Will she decide to ignore his generous offer and try to figure things out on her own like she has done all her life or will she take the unknown guy up on his offer and agree to a contract that may change her life in more ways than she was prepared for? Read what happens to Amelia as the job, that seemed innocent enough, turns out to be not so innocent after all...

** #2 in WATTYAWARDS** ** #24 in FUNNY!** **#3 in SHORT STORY** I whipped around to smell the scent of pine, cigarettes, and mint. Amused grey eyes shined, and dark, shaggy, brown hair filled my vision. His hands were in his low, dark jeans, and his muscled chest puffed out of his white t-shirt, and black leather jacket. His smirk made me tense up. "You." I glared. "Me." He smiled. The one person who could piss me off in a split second, the person who was the sole reason I am who I am today was leaning against one of the navy blue lockers. The atomic bomb just exploded in my life. And his name is Roman Quinn. DISCLAIMER: I wrote this when I was a good 12 years old. There are plot holes, spelling and grammar errors. However, this is the first thing I've ever written and somehow I am STILL proud of it and the grateful for anyone who laughed. (Even if it was just once). Viewer Discretion is Advised.

Emerson knows high school can be messy, but nothing could prepare her for Oliver Remmer's return. Dangerous, mysterious, and rumored to be a psychopath, he's the kind of boy everyone fears... and everyone watches. Yet Emerson isn't everyone. She sees the layers beneath his intense exterior-the boy shaped by a troubled past, moments of tenderness hidden under bursts of anger, and a vulnerability most people would never notice. Between the gossip, the chaos, and the adrenaline-charged tension, Emerson can't help but be drawn in. Oliver is unpredictable, and being near him is thrilling-and maybe a little bit reckless. Standing her ground almost feels like a dare. But some loves are worth the risk. Some loves are easy. Back Cover Copy: "Write down one word that describes you." Oliver didn't hesitate. Psychopath. Everyone expects me to run. To stay away. To be careful. But I didn't. Because there's something behind the intensity, the walls, the mystery. Something only I get to see. Because sometimes the thrill of the unknown is exactly what your heart has been waiting for. Set in North Carolina, Open is a teen romance about taking risks, discovering who someone really is, and finding that love can feel mysterious, dangerous... and irresistible. C O V E R B Y @ZiaDavis
