"I just want you to know that I love you, and that will never change. I just want you to know that even if you don't remember me, I will always remember you." I stood there for a few more minutes looking at her grave, wishing she could actually hear the words I was saying. I didn't know what else I was supposed to do or say so I walked back to my car. And as I was walking, I could have sworn I heard my grandmother's voice say, "I love you too, Marina." Marina's grandmother passed away due to dementia, but Marina is determined that no one will ever forget Wren Jennings, even if dementia took the memories from Wren. tysm to the amazing @RebellionOfALifetime for the cover

Imagine that you go to bed tonight and in the morning you wake up to find that four years have gone by. That's exactly what happened to Cassie Clark. When she went to bed, she was only nineteen years old, but when she wakes up thousands of miles from home and all alone in a New York City hospital with no memory of how she got there, she's twenty four. The only memories Cassie has are of her everyday boring wholesome life back home in South Carolina, but when she wakes up she's confronted with the fact that the last four years of her life have been anything but boring or wholesome. Being in New York with no money, no family, no friends, and no job is scary enough, but now good girl Cassie is left with nothing but the pieces of a past that she can't believe could actually belong to her and the mystery of what led to her being found beaten nearly to death in an old deserted warehouse. To top it all off, the only person who seems to care about Cassie anymore is a boyfriend who she doesn't even know. Owen Tracer was nothing more than a player and a thug. Girl after girl and working for the mysterious 'business' had left him burnt out and tired of his own life. He was ready to get out, take the money he'd earned before it got him killed, and go straight, but the business had one last job for him to do before he was free. Tasked with posing as the boyfriend to a girl who had somehow tangled herself in a business mess, Owen goes to the hospital prepared to feel her out for any information she may have and to get rid of her if she knew too much. What he wasn't prepared for was finding that the girl was none other than Cassie Clark. Not only did he know the girl, but he couldn't stand her. However, the Cassie he finds isn't anything like the one he remembers. Owen was only supposed to get close enough to find out if she was a danger to the business. He wasn't supposed to fall for her. But once he does, he's the only one who can save her.

"I can't do this anymore. I have to confess," Owen thought to himself as he drove along the lonely highway. A year ago, two boys did something they couldn't let anybody know. They lived with the thorns of the truth prickling at their skin. They lived with guilt crawling inside of them. Until one of them decided he couldn't live with it anymore. "No. No, I'm not giving up my future for this," Daniel said to himself. Will the truth come out? Will it stay hidden forever? Will there be any more secrets to keep?

'Morixes.' She shuddered at the word. Papa had told her many scary stories about these Morixes. She did not want to meet any of them at all. If fate was cruel that she might end up meeting one, she knew she would definitely run as fast as her little feet could carry her. But on the day when she finally met one lying injured and defenseless on the ground, she ran. She ran, not away from it but towards it. ********* This is the story of Scarlett, a happy-go-lucky girl who found a young Morix who was thrown unexpectedly into her world. Trained to feel no emotions and assassinate human intruders in the Morix world, he was trapped in the world full of humans whom he was taught to despise since he was very young. Will he find a way to return to where he belonged or will he stay trapped forever with this annoyingly happy human girl and her father (and MiaoMiao) in a world where he did not belong to? But most importantly, will Kian who would have surrendered to nothing, surrender willingly to feel emotions, to be happy, to care and finally to learn how to love? Join Kian and Scarlett in their journey to discover friendship, love, and the mystery of the two worlds. Author's note- Hmm? Oh, you don't know what's a Morix? Read on to find out. :)
