Meet Aria Austin. She's a normal seventeen year old teenage girl. She receives good grades, she's nice and has a stable after-school job at the town's local book store. She's the complete opposite of her two best friends, Holland and Clark, who are completely and totally obsessed with all things Hollywood. Aria, on the other hand, couldn't care less about keeping up with the latest scandals. That is until Mason Carter comes back to his home in Indiana and finds his way into the tattered old book shop where he and Aria meet for the first time. Despite the fact that she's a normal non-famous high-schooler and he's the most famous teenage actor on the planet, the two become fast friends. It doesn't take long for a relationship to blossom between the two but when you're one of the most famous people in the world, it's hard to get any privacy.

Or will it be dead before it's even gotten the chance to live? © Copyright 2013 Millie Morgan. All Rights Reserved.

At least, I think so. A beggar has no chance at joy, particularly an orphan one. I am destined to a life of dirt, hard floors, cold, starvation, loneliness, and judgement. I am kicked and scorned; insulted and teased; cold and broken." When Rose meets the Prince her one desire is to show her wrath. Forced into servitude for an act of rebellion, Rose discovers the Prince is not all she thought. Despite their pasts, wounds begin to heal and hearts begin to open. But not all are supportive of a friendship between a Prince and a servant... The Prince wanting to change; the beggar needing to heal; a danger racing towards them. The fight against her heart is about to turn into the fight for her life. (Book #1) Highest rank: #1 in Christ!!!

"Don't go outside after dark." This was a well-established rule in the whole community. After dark, groups of rebels emerged onto the streets of town and vandalized everything in their sight. Parker Reynolds knew this, she knew this rule almost too well. It's one that was embedded into her mind since the age of three. Although joining a group can mean getting arrested, being charged with multiple accounts of vandalism, and left with paying fines until the age of a hundred, it's also a risk some are willing to take. Parker's not one to live on the wild side, but she's at the point where she'll do anything if it means giving her a more popular social status. Besides, who would want to have the same title of uptight, or afraid-to-take-chances for the past eleven years? But what happens when Parker becomes too committed to the group, and finds herself stuck in a situation that's much too hard to get out of? Or at least, get out of without consequences?
