Vanessa is giftless, born without magic, though she lives in a wielding community. For fifteen years, the Light and Dark Wielders have been at peace, until a man is murdered at the Treaty Ball. Amongst the chaos and confusion, Vanessa finds she does have a gift: she is no illusionist, no elemental, no enchanter. She is a vanquisher, with the ability to block and absorb magic. And now everyone, Light and Dark alike, want her.

{Highest Ranking: #3 in Short Story} Tyler - who is best known as superstar Jet Valentine - and his girlfriend Anna have been together now for almost four years. Anna has joined Tyler on his latest world tour, while she finishes up her college degree online. Things get a little weird between them when they both start keeping secrets from each other. Can they figure it all out and fix it, or has their relationship just run its course? Sequel to Late Night Conversations. It can be read as a standalone, but to understand the whole story behind Anna and Tyler's relationship, I suggest you read Late Night Conversations first. :) *Please be aware that this is going to be more New Adult since Tyler and Anna are a little older already. So things might be a bit more mature, nothing graphic though.*

{Highest Ranking: #2 in Short Story} One collision. Two strangers. One unorthodox way to pay off her debt. Three weeks of late night conversations. One Date.
