Can a natural killer learn to be human again? Regan's unique talent for murder makes her a perfect assassin. After a lethal encounter leaves her broken body washed up on a beach, she finds herself adopted by a group of teenage bodyguards. She doesn't intend to stay for long, but soon Regan finds herself faced with a choice: become a hero or stay a villain? *** The boy played with the flat brim of the cap in his hands and looked around the room. He sat back in his chair, trying to look casual, but the heel of his hi-top sneaker drummed rapidly on the concrete floor. Regan sat opposite him with her legs crossed and her hands folded on her tartan skirt. She watched him without a word and brushed a strand of blue-dyed hair behind her ear. Somehow this seemed to unsettle him more. 'Calm down,' she said. 'It's just murder.' *** Author's Note: Darkness Girl: Trickster God is represented by Louise Fury from The Bent Agency. P.S. The epic cover was made by Paul Kopetko (you can stalk him at paulkopetko.com). Enjoy!

"Suddenly, I found our faces so close together, I could feel his warm breath caressing my face. It smelt slightly of mint, and an undercurrent that was all Cole-pure masculine goodness.I breathed in deeply, my eyes briefly fluttering closed. God, since when did he smell so good?" Raven has lost everyone. Her mother and twin sister died, her father left, leaving her in alone in the world with powers that she barely understands. All that Raven has left is Cole, her best friend. When a dangerous enemy resurfaces intent on killing Raven, Cole swears he will do all he can to protect her. As the two get pushed closer together, will their combined powers be enough to save them? Will Raven be able to stop her heart from shattering to a thousand pieces? *** Please keep in mind that this is a first draft, and is, for the most part, unedited. I know it's not at its best, but I'm working on it... "Wow, I am so hooked!" "You captivated me from the start..." "The storyline seems very original..." The above were just a few of the comments I received... :) As you can tell, this is also a romance as well as paranormal/fantasy :) hehe Laura__Zalenga owns the right to the picture in the cover...

I lived the first 10 years of my life thinking I was normal - that I was human - but that image was shattered when the incident happened. Now, 6 years later, I just try to blend in and stay out of everybody's way while doing secret research on what happened to me. But apparently that research wasn't so secret. Some school for 'The Gifted' had noticed me and have now 'recruited' me. So now I'm being dragged away from what I never understood and being thrown into a world of things that can't possibly exist. I'm gonna need a lot more than just luck...
