** Winner of the 2014 Wattys Instant Addiction Award ** Book 1 of the SEIZE THE DAY series In a world of magic and chaos, seventeen-year-old Lannie Brackenbury has only ever wanted to be alone in Aria. Two years after her mother's death, Lannie has finally found a place in the world where she can live peacefully.

Even if it means sacrificing all that she has ever known.

This is a story where survival was a vital thing, one where the tough times made you stronger, a story where revenge seeps so deep into it that you'll find yourself wanting vengeance on something done to you a long time ago. This is a story where even "the lowest of lows" found true love. Kendra Hamilton was a beautiful woman who knows struggle like she knows the back of her hand. She never expected good to come out of life, not when the storm of bad luck and problems had swooped in and tainted her entire world a long time ago. Well, that was until she threw a huge rock at one of the world's most important men. Leonardo Blazè was a devilishly handsome multi-billionaire who, if he were that kind of man, could have any and everything handed to him on a gold platter with jewels embedded into it. His aura and sexual appeal screamed danger and he spoke in a way that made you need to respect him. It was only fate that the two met. *I do not own this photo, just designed it.* Copyright. ©
