Riley's two older brothers do everything they can to protect her from their violent step-father. But what happens when they realise she wasn't as protected as they thought. Will her brother's find out the dark secrets she has been hiding? And can she break free from her inner demons? This is Riley's story. *** "Pl..Please..." cried Riley as she stumbled on the steps. "I love it when you beg," laughed Vincent as he dragged Riley to her bedroom. Shoving her into the bedroom he closed the door behind him, turning the lock. "How long do I have?" asked Vincent as he sauntered up to Riley who backed herself against the wall. "Not long, Jason will be back any minute now," lied Riley, her heart beating hard in her chest. Vincent placed his arms on either side of Riley's body, trapping her in while dipping his head to her eye level. "I think my little birdy is lying to me," he smirked. "Now tell me, how long do I have," he asked again, pulling out a knife from his pocket and sliding it up Riley's back underneath her hoodie. He pressed the knife into the flesh of her back and started to press down, cutting slowly into her skin. "Tell me," he repeated. "Thr..ee h..hours," sobbed out Riley. // WARNING: This story contains themes of self harm, rape and violence. If these trigger you in anyway please don't continue as there will be no warning before any of these scenes.

'And what do you expect me to do?', he asked composing himself. 'I expect you to fix it.', she crossed her arms. 'How? You think that dragon would listen to me? If you didn't pick up on it last night, I'm not exactly her favorite person.', he retorted. 'I don't know. You did this. Now fix it.' ------- Blake Cavanaugh is the very definition of 'no strings attached'. Irresistible and indispensible, he is in demand all the way from the football field to the management classrooms to the ladies. And what's more, he knows it. Burning his hours living the quintessential college life indulging in meaningless flings, he seeks to forget his troubled past, believing that anything deeper is unessential concept. That is until he meets Aria Roberts and he finds that she challenges his beliefs on the matter unlike anyone before. A victim of circumstance, college freshman Aria finds herself sharing an apartment with the uncomfortably good looking and ever charming Blake Cavanaugh.

Do sparks really fly when opposites attract? Or do they burn down the house? Do you fall on your face if you take a leap of faith? Or do you fly over the horizon? Are you left with the disappointing ring of silence when you call out desperately in the dark? Or are you rewarded with a voice calling you back with the same desperation letting you know you're not alone? You won't know until give it a shot. *Rights to the cover belong to the author

[NOW PUBLISHED ON AMAZON! You can buy it here: http://bit.ly/ColdFireBUY] [*SAMPLE ONLY* LAST 10 CHAPTERS REMOVED] [A Wattpad featured novel] Melissa has a rare, undiagnosed disease, or so say the doctors that did tests on her for half of her life. She doesn't need a medical certificate to tell her that she's different. She was born with a body temperature so low that most people would die before they even started living. Keyword: most. Somehow, Melissa has managed to live for fifteen years, but those years have not been without their hardships. The doctors told her that in order for her organs to function in such cold conditions, her body must absorb the heat from the surrounding air in a painful process dubbed a "heat attack", which slowly turns her temporary home freezing and uninhabitable. Forced to move from city to city in order to keep everyone in her vicinity alive, and plagued by the stares and hushed whispers that accompany her, Melissa tries to lead a normal life. But she's failing miserably. And when she's approached by the new kid in school, all hope of an ordinary life slips from her grasp. Suddenly, strange is the new normal, and Melissa finds herself wrapped up in a new world where ghosts aren't "just in her head", glass windows shatter unprovoked, and rare, undiagnosed diseases aren't actually diseases at all. And to top it all off, someone - or multiple someones - seem to want her dead. So much for normal... © 2013 by shayebay All Rights Reserved PUBLISHED JUNE 26, 2019 WITH TYPEWRITER PUB!!
