Camille Settlemeyer's life revolves around two great natural wonders: Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth, and Matt Everest, the boy she's been in love with ever since they met at rock climbing camp five years ago. She might have to wait a few more years before her parents let her fly off to Nepal to scale the world's tallest summit, but this summer Camille's going to hit the road with Matt for one last climbing expedition before they part ways for college. Camille is convinced that a couple days alone with Matt in a beat-up van will make him realize they're destined to be together. What she doesn't account for is Matt bringing along his best friend from climbing camp, Tucker O'Hara, who possess an encyclopedic knowledge of the constellations and a sense of humor drier than the sprawling Arizona desert. Camille doesn't like how much of a know-it-all Tuck is, or how his gorgeous older sister seems to steal every last bit of Matt's attention. But Camille's about to learn that even the best climbers need a compass sometimes. (Commission for Wattpad's promotion of the film "The Best of Me")

Blake Montgomery has a score to settle but finding and killing the werewolf that butchered her parents is turning out to be a greater challenge than she anticipated.

But when the hunt for her parents' murderer leads her to a community deep within the Colorado forests where werewolves run rampant, she might be in over her head. Red has as much reason to hate humans as any werewolf. They're vile, cruel, and have no regard for any species other than their own. When a group of hunters appears in his pack's territory, Red doesn't hesitate to let them know that they've messed with the wrong wolf. Yet his hunt leads him to a human woman with hate in her eyes who could only be his Mate. With the revelation that someone in his pack is butchering humans, Red knows that he must put an end to it for his Mate's sake - and his own. Together, Blake and Red must come together to catch a murderer before he strikes again but their hunt may lead them to something much more dangerous if they are brave enough to set aside their differences and take it.

The past has come back to haunt Brock Mason. He had thought that the dissolution of their band two years earlier would have been enough to keep his ex-best friend out of his life forever, but Trace Strickland isn't fading away quietly from the bright city lights. As Trace catapults back into media stardom, spreading rumours scandalous enough to destroy Brock's already rocky solo career, Brock knows that he needs to act fast to salvage his image before it's irreparably damaged. When his recording contract is sold to a new label, Brock must face the music when his only saviour is someone who might want nothing to do with him. Travis Grant is at a standstill. With those around him beginning to move on to bigger and better things, Travis wonders if competing on the rodeo circuit and ranching cattle is all that he's truly destined for. But when famed country singer Brock Mason arrives in Travis' small town, seeking the help of Travis' superstar younger sister, Travis inexplicably finds himself drawn into the world of celebrity that he's always so steadfastly avoided. As Travis and Brock grow steadily closer, Travis begins a journey down a path that will alter his future forever as he grapples with accepting who he is versus who he is meant to be. **Note: due to life insanity, this book is being updated VERY slowly.

She aches for something dangerous, something like the dark forest, Mirkwood, which borders her home. Yet, there is a curse which haunts her people: a Wolf. For the last eighteen years, he takes one innocent life. Fate seems to change at the hands of Vivian, a Wardeness who promises Core a safe passage through Mirkwood. For a moment, Marjorie has everything she has ever wanted: An escape from a fate set in stone... until the Wolf set its dark intentions on her. Now, she is forced to decide: Will she defeat the Wolf or will she willingly be devoured? __________________ The stranger turned to face her. This close, it was easy to see his handsome features. From his high cheekbones to his piercing gray eyes, he was unlike any sully-faced villager. Instead, he wore his beauty with a casual grace, as if he were clueless to the plumpness of his lips or the flat, smooth surface of his chest. "Am I a what?" The man cocked a thick, dark brow up. He pushed his right hand into the pocket of his trousers, but not before Marjorie caught a glimpse of the heavy jewels on his fingers. He drowned in an opulence few villagers could afford. "I take that as a no," she said. "What is your name, stranger?" He looked to her, and then his gaze traveled to where men and women continued to fling themselves around the heat of the bonfire. You don't belong here, she thought.
