It's 1939, and the world is at the precipice of war. But life for one young man in rural America couldn't be better. Jonathon Blackwell is the eldest son of the most powerful family in town and heir to Blackwell Iron and Mining. Unlike many who struggled to survive the final years of the Great Depression, he has everything he could ever want - except the one thing he desires most. Sheltered by class, privilege, and living inside a locked iron fence meant to protect him, no one could ever imagine anything terrible could happen to him, but dark times are coming. Fate is about to play it's cruel hand, and when it's all over, the world, the country, and young Jonathon will be changed forever. The much anticipated prequel to the 2014 Watty award winning and Wattpad featured story, The Boy in the Woods! This is Jonathon's story, and it just may break your heart... Best Ranking: Historical Fiction #4 Note: Even though this story takes place before events in The Boy in the Woods, it's intended to be read AFTER because it wraps up the last of the mysteries of that story. A gentle warning - many spoilers and much confusion lie ahead if you decide to start with this one. :)

Her heart has been shattered one too many times and she's not prepared to let it happen again. Broken and beaten down, she has all but given up. Her's is a destiny that cannot be changed; she's accepted that now. But there is one path she hasn't tried before, one choice she's never made, one man she's never said yes to... Could he be the key to changing her fate? Or will burying her heartache in another just make everything worse? Surrounded by the same souls that have followed her for seven lifetimes, Ellie decides to forfeit her fight with destiny before it even begins. But ignoring your heart after two hundred years isn't easy; especially when the past just won't let go. In the fourth and final book of The Return Series we bounce back and forth between present day and Ellie's sixth lifetime in the late 70's. Mysteries will finally be solved and questions will finally be answered. And, with Ellie's eighteenth birthday rapidly approaching, she somehow needs to find the strength to fight for her life. But will she be able to take all she's learned over these past seven lifetimes and change her present enough to give her a chance at a future? Or is Ellie still cursed to have this lifetime end like the ones before? ***If you haven't read the other books in The Return Series, it's HIGHLY recommended that you start this mystery from the beginning.

WATTYS 2016 WINNER! - Writer's Debut Category **A Wattpad Featured story!!!** What's a lady to do... Lady Charlotte has never been the typical English lady. Nor does she intend to be when her uncle makes a bid to inherit everything - the land, the money. All that had been her father's a decade before. So when her uncle forces the issue, Charlotte knows her time is up. She is making her move. As the poor gentleman, Charlie. In two weeks' time, she plans to take control of her future while stripping her uncle of his. When she meets her match... Lord Greyson, the Earl of Claymore, can't seem to forget the mysterious lady he saved from being compromised, only for her to punch him in the face and descend a balcony to be rid of him. He doesn't expect to meet her again so soon, and not like this. As a lad who looks distinctly familiar, with a sharp tongue and a spirit that demands independence. What else is Greyson to do but watch over his little caterpillar, offering her safety and employment in his stables? It's the perfect solution. Or so he thinks. And finds herself falling in love... What neither one of them expects is the sexual tension that ignites between them. What's a girl to do when she finds herself falling for her employer. And that he seems to feel the same...for his stable hand. But that's the least of their problems as a common enemy threatens to tear them apart, one that has no intention of letting either one of them off the hook. It's winner take all - breeches edition. And Charlie plays to win. Highest Rating : #1 in Historical Fiction 5/15/2016 Most Recent: #1 in Historical Fiction 67/22/2016 Book 1 in the Spirited Brides series *Cover made by @Aphrodite270*
