The passionate story of Tessa and Hardin continues as family secrets, deep betrayals, and career opportunities threaten to tear them apart.

||book 3 of the akotw trilogy|| Running. Running seems to be the only thing that has been consistent in Channing's life for the past ten years. Hiding. Hiding is the only action that has ever been able to offer her comfort and assurance. Even when her life took a turn for the better, it was only a matter of time before she had a reason to start running again. Running right back into the arms of danger- a reason to start hiding from the people who loved her. The thing is, she didn't realize Niall would be right behind her, willing to disappear into nothing... willing to leave it all behind, for her.

{Third book in the 'Adopted By Elounor' series} "We've been through so much... And the last thing I want to do is let you go. Alex Tomlinson, will you do me the honor of being my wife?" I looked down at Niall with tears in my eyes. I nodded my head yes and he slid the diamond ring on my finger. Our lips met in a passionate kiss as everyone around us clapped and cheered. Almost two years have passed since Niall proposed to me. I am now finishing up my last week at university, Niall right by my side the entire time. I've been keeping a secret from him for over two weeks. I don't know how I should tell him, or how he'll react... My doctor said it's going to change mine, and everyone else's lives drastically. I never expected, that on one walk with my fiancé, I would discover such a tragic secret my enemy has been hiding from everyone. Never had I thought, I would finish university and almost immediately, start my own business. Niall and I have already planned to live on our own when I return home, so I won't really be seeing my parents. Under all this stress, the last thing I wanted was to have Niall leave for tour. What am I going to do without him? Will I be able to get through this difficult period of time, all on my own? I guess I'll just have to see what the future holds.

My thoughts you can't decode.. Sequel : Escape Route.

Bridget wasn't like your average teenager that likes to party. She likes school and hates to party, always gets her work done and doesn't do anything bad or illegal. Harry was basically the opposite. He was attending every party, ditches school a lot and has been caught doing some illegal things. But when these two meet, who would've thought they'd end up dating? when friends, family and even enemies complicate things and past secrets are revealed, can they fight through it and stay strong?
