'Jules' mind went back under the moonlight and night air of Baldwin's Fine Arts Center Garden, where intense anger shifted into an intimate moment of curiosity with a blow of the wind. Maybe two flames weren't supposed to be that close when raging, because in that second between the fury and the furnace, they'd burned into something that held more intensity than the flare in their eyes.' •••••••••••••••••• THEY say that love is a feeling that most should cherish, as it is the closest thing that you'll get to looking inside your soul - but is it worth holding near and dear if it kills you? In a divided city filled with greed, danger, and deceit-two of the biggest kingpins in Amador City would do their very best to protect their children from falling into the depths of their darkest decisions. Yet, what happens when the thing they've been trying to protect them from the most reveals itself in an epic game of love and war? Find out in this epic urban retelling of Shakespeare's famous "Romeo and Juliet."

Winner of the Watty's 2017 Awards ✿ Destruction is a form of creation; buildings crumbled as he walked past. Khari Spence, trapped in a city steeped in hatred, longs to embrace his true self even if it means risking everything. He finds a fragile refuge in an old apartment with peeling wallpaper and blank journal pages -- and hopefully in a girl. Milo Locke, disillusioned with the hollow lure of materialism, seeks to rid the ideologies her parents forced onto her. When their worlds collide, will they help each other heal from past wounds, or will their secrets tear them apart?

Whether you are already a Christian, or you don't know who Jesus is, this devotional will hopefully enlighten you about who He is and the calling He has placed over your life. While I learn and grow in my walk with God, I hope I can encourage you in yours. ❤

Teddy Morgan does everything within his power to resist the careless charm of his internationally famous classmate, Zoe Yang. He couldn't possibly hate anybody as much as he hates the clingy little blonde that follows him wherever he goes. It's not until he realizes how much the world has destroyed her and how many of her broken pieces she hides that he slowly stops resisting and begrudgingly starts caring. Zoe Yang never expected the darkness of the life she left behind to recklessly consume the boy she has a crush on. What surprises her even more is his willingness to give up his future to stand by her side, even if that means risking his life, his families safety, and their ever-evolving relationship.

[watty's longlist 2018] Elisa Robinson has only one thing on her Summer to-do list: Go to Jamaica with her best friend. But after an ignorant tweet sent in the heat of the moment, her parents threaten to make her get a job so she could see life through a different set of eyes. Elisa was against the idea until she realized it was kind of perfect. If she stayed home, she could keep an eye on Adam, her boyfriend. She knew they were drifting a part and leaving the country might not improve things. So instead of sunbathing on an island, Elisa was scooping ice cream for rowdy kids. The only thing keeping her sane was her co-worker, Julian. He was the polar opposite of Adam and served as the perfect distraction from her failing relationship. An innocent friendship soon turns to something more as Elisa spends more and more time with Julian. Is it just a rebound or is she really falling for him?
