When the teens witness another hiker murdered, they need to rethink their commitment to unraveling the mystery.

why do they call her milk? "...i like things simple. i'm not sweet, but i'm not savoury. you leave me alone long enough, and i'll become sour. some people love me, some people don't. take it or leave it." why do they call her honey? "i sweeten the deal. i ooze gold. a treasure from the Gods. the colour of sun rays on a hot day . words from my mouth leave that decadent taste on your tongue. loved by many, hated by few." they are opposites that cannot help but be good with the other. one by themselves is almost improbable. of course it's possible, they're okay on their own, they have to be. but together? together, they make each other better. that's what it's all about.

My breath caught in my lungs. He was breathtakingly G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. Tight lines traced his abdomen as water droplets rolled over his smooth caramel skin. Eyes in the fullest shade of lust and in the clearest hue of ice blue stared back, simultaneously displaying a smirk playing at the corner of his soft lips. What was he thinking about in this instant? Was he fighting the impulse to do something he longed to accomplish a long time ago? But this wasn't the best of times to do anything reckless. He NEEDED to stop looking at me like that. I promised myself. No, I swore myself... I had to stay away from him. I HAD to. For my internal fight, for my honor.-- ~So this is what I knew. My parents had signed me off to a royal vampire who apparently was related to THE vampire prince, without my knowledge or permission. In exchange, my parents would become filthy rich for the rest of their lives. That wasn't what I wanted, that wasn't... FAIR. I had to retaliate quick. I had to make the royal vampire regret ever THINKING of MAKING that contract. I HAD to be difficult, especially if he wanted me by his side as if I was some good little dog that obeyed. You see that was the goal. That was the ULTIMATE goal. There was just one tiny whiny problem... the royal vampire was just really good looking. Absolutely soul melting. So, what's so horrible about Candice's situation? It seems like this vampire purchase has some HIDDEN CLAUSES. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **NOT EDITED!!!!!

"How do you stuff so much alcohol into your body?" Sean glared at me. I laughed out loud and threw a pillow at his face. He caught it before it could make contact. "It is a secret" I whispered dramatically. ------ With the biggest war ahead...love, emotions, relations, and faith are tested. Will Sasha succeed when she finally faces her darkest fears? P.S- Sequel to 'THE PROMISE'. The book can be read as a stand-alone but if you decide to read THE PROMISE later, don't complain that I did not warn you of major spoilers ;)

The small town of Lee isn’t that large, everyone knows each other. And they know just who to stay away from, but poor Annie doesn’t and falls into the grasp of Ash Thatcher. A man every female, young and old, knows to stand clear of. Being a new member of this community, little Annette Cross doesn’t know just what Mr. Thatcher is capable of.

After fighting for their love, Violet and Asher Sinclair thought that their fairytale had finally come. They were wrong. Their melee only ignited an interest in someone powerful. Would this challenge bring their family closer together or break them apart into a million pieces?

"Close your eyes." he croaked, I did as I was told without any disobedience. "Have you any idea how badly I want to kiss you right now?" I shook my head in reply. "Badly, so fucking badly." he whispered as his harsh breath fanned across my cheek. Dark haired and tattooed, Xavier looked like the ultimate bad boy...but weren't bad boys meant to have that boyish charm? The thing is, Xavier was extremely guarded, hot headed and quite frankly, scary. In fact, Xavier was many things but romantic and loving wasn't two of them. He was a building half built, a puzzle with half of the pieces missing... Until he met me. Warning: Bad language (lots of). A possessive delinquent that is guaranteed to make you smile (or cry.)

"I never wanted this!" I scream, tears streaming down my eyes. He kisses my neck, muttering sweet things to me, but I ignore him. "I wanted to live a normal life. But no, guess what, I had to be the mate of the freaking vampire prince! Yay!" His body tenses behind me, and I realize what I said. I turn back to apologize, to tell him that's not what I meant, but he stops me. "If that's how you feel." He whispers, walking away before I can blink. - Sadistic: that's what everyone thinks of Ava. She enjoys watching people suffer. The way the squirm and beg for mercy, it probably turns her on. Though, what happens when she has to save lives, not take them away? It's not saving lives like Superman does, it's way more intense. Did she see that coming? No. Does life care? Not at all. In fact, it's throwing her in front of a bus (literally). One secret demands poor Ava to bend all of her morals, and change herself completely. Forever's going to take longer than expected. Warning: Cursing is frequent.
