Echo wasn't like her sisters. She knew that when people talked about the famous and fabulous Reid sisters, they weren't referring to her. Quiet, homely, plain and riddled with social anxiety that made it hard for her to leave the house, she could never have known what was about to happen, she never dreamed she'd live such an adventure. Luke Farina was the most dangerous man around- spoiled, selfish, extremely conceited- he didn't take no for an answer and always got what he wanted. He just never expected that the strange and ridiculous little Echo would be the one to say no and somehow become the one he had to have most. -- NOTE: Hi everyone! I really hope you take the time to read this story. It's already complete for the most part, in just taking it slow in publishing it. It's my first story and I'd love to hear your comments and feedback. I hope you decide to give it a chance! This is also part one of a series and I'm already midway through the next book which can't be released unless this one gets some positive feedback. Thank you and enjoy!

When I Fall For My Kidnapper *Sequel "The Leverage" is now being written/ posted* - Ally Hades is the beautiful daughter of one of the wealthiest men in America with a dark past, making her a very popular and prized target for abduction. Ally is used to being kidnapped by the time she is seventeen, the whole routine fairly familiar to her. So when she is yet again stolen from her car in the middle of nowhere, she isn't too surprised. But she is surprised to find herself drawn to her completely gorgeous bad boy of a kidnapper. Trevor Benson has a long past tangled with the underground gang called the Company, and it's his job to complete a series of jobs along with the goal of bringing Ally into the custody of the Company's headquarters. Along the way, Ally discovers the dark secrets of her fate and the pieces to large puzzle she didn't even know existed. Her witty personality and lack of fear for her kidnapper sets Ally aside from the other girls Trevor has handled, and Trevor's deep intrigue and mystery makes him irresistible to Ally. Together, the two find themselves thrown headfirst into a love story neither of them expected, and neither of them thought they could encounter, especially with both of their lives on the line. As everything unfolds as more webs are created, neither of them can even think to expect what's coming. The only thing Ally knows she can trust is the fact that it's impossible to be saved, when she doesn't want to be found. *Credit to IntoTheFloodAgain for her amazing artistic skills for drawing my cover. It's awesome. And her stories are amazing too! Check her out.
