Stoic college junior, Kelly Rivers, is balancing a string of heartbreaks, a pile of unread manuscripts, five summer courses, and an internship on top. And she's doing quite well--at least that's what she wrote on her résumé. No one tells the truth on those anyway. The truth is that her composure is slowly cracking and her mental health is degrading. Things only get worse when the editor she works for asks her to help sign a deal with promising but eccentric writer, Miles Whitman. Not only does he complicate her job, but he also makes it a point to break through her façade and find out why she has been ignoring her feelings for years. What's a girl gotta do to catch a break?

Book 1 of the Rising Phoenix trilogy. Would you choose love over peace? Two months away from her graduation day, all Cerise wants is to keep up her grades, continue inventing, and somehow manage to pay off her rent. The fact that she's Paris's secret thief by night makes life all the more exciting. That is, until she gets caught by her stepmother. The last person she wants anything to do with and the president. Her freedom from years in jail comes with a price - stealing from the Drakhenae. She has to steal the one thing that can give her race, the humans, exactly what they need to get rid of the Drakhenae once and for all, information on something stronger, something more than the Drakhenae, something that can destroy them. Information on an experiment that happened fifteen years ago, and about the test subject who disappeared. Despite the confusing tension and rough history between the two races, and the fact that to humans, the Drakhenae are predators, more reptile than human with their leathery wings, slit pupils and the scales on their cheeks, Cerise agrees to go. But her heist couldn't go more wrong, and to make things worse, she gets caught by Everard, the infuriating, confusing, drop-dead gorgeous Drakhenae. Add in the secrets of her past, and the fact that her heart is torn between two people, one with promises, another with secrets, Cerise doesn't know who to trust. And she quickly realizes that things can get worse, and can get worse fast. {Word Count: 50,000-60,000} **Will be undergoing a re-writing soon!
