Whoever wished they could live the life of royalty deserved a punch in the face. Meet Park Sparrow, a feisty, sarcastic, and reckless outcast who's just a small-town girl, living in a lonely world. With an attitude and personality that gets her in more trouble than anything, she's a wild splash of color in the otherwise monotone and regal life of the academy she attends. But there's more than meets the eye. Park isn't a random nobody in a town only famous for a school. Park Sparrow is the princess of Cimeria, and heir to one of the last remaining monarchies in the entire world. Unluckily for her, being an heir also means having a target painted on her back day and night. Park is determined to find out who's behind the attempts on her life. With the unlikely help of Logan Cross, a boy she's hated since the dawn of time, the two must learn how to put aside their differences and get along because Park is in grave danger. As they work together to put together the mystery of who wants Park's throne, they must face new complications and obstacles that will be much more difficult than just a school yard grudge. (Book One of The Royalty Series) **this is the second edited version of I'll Protect You, written by the same author. it is not canon or official ;; there is a more current version out rn on my page**

Matt Cooper sat in Study Room C alone, savoring the last few minutes of peace and quiet. The she-demon would arrive any moment now. Inevitably, their study session would erupt into flames not long after she got there; she seemed to reserve the flames she summoned from deepest pits of hell especially for Matt. It would only take about ten minutes of nonsense before she exploded or spontaneously combusted in fury. No-five minutes. He loved a good challenge. While he definitely needed the extra help to pass his classes, he wasn't going down without a fight, and she deserved every kick and punch he could deal her. She was without a doubt, one-hundred-percent, the worst. Luckily, she was locked into this with him-so as much as she wanted to, she couldn't quit, or she could kiss her presidency goodbye. Matt wasn't one for manipulation or even blackmail, but when it came to Abby Simmons... He was going to give her a taste of her own personal hell. ***** There is absolutely nothing suspicious going on here. When Matthew Cooper faces expulsion, his principal forces the student body president (and his arch-nemesis)-the Abominable Abigail Simmons-to tutor him. Despite the rivalry between the two, a misfit study group eventually forms in Study Room C-but as the days go on, it's clear that this study group does anything and everything but study.

Hold onto your teacups, lads. * * * How do you decide what's worth fighting for? While on a student exchange in Edinburgh, Scotland, writer Josephine Hughes takes a job at Starbucks to help pay her bills. It's a great job; she meets lots of new people and makes friends with her regulars. One in particular, however, has caught her eye. Louis Davidson is an Edinburgh native, a baker, and a student at the University of Edinburgh. Every morning at precisely 7:20 AM, he comes in and orders the same thing-but it quickly becomes apparent that Lou is not there for the coffee. Jo struggles with allowing herself to be vulnerable, hiding her name from Lou as a defense mechanism, and Lou pursues her relentlessly, hoping to eventually coax her out of her shell. Soon, however, they realize that Lou has deep-seated issues of his own. As Jo and Lou fight their own battles, they navigate the rough waters of relationship, seeking to answer one simple question: Is it worth it?

When Elizabeth Knight meets a boy with a peculiar book on the streets near her apartment, she gets a little worried. When she wakes up the next morning in a totally different world, well... She starts to question her sanity. Elizabeth is whisked away to Aon, a kingdom full of danger and mystery, with Edward, the boy from the streets. Turns out, he happens to be the prince-- which she learns that it makes her a target by association. Before she can comprehend what's going on, she's told that Edward's book is hers, she's being called the 'Keeper' and she's handed the task of defeating the dark, hooded figure called the Night Rider, who wants nothing more than absolute power. As impossible secrets unravel and the stakes grow higher, Elizabeth is faced with protecting the kingdom, and most of all, protecting herself, knowing that one accident could send her away from Aon forever and leave the people she cares about defenseless. The Book of Aon is the first book in the Keeper series.
