*A Wattpad Featured Story* When a young woman snags Lawrence Croxley from the train station, he soon realizes that being late for work is the least of his problems. She plans to use his access to a major news network's cameras in order to warn the public of a massive syndicate, one that has sinister plans for her and the others like her. This shadowy group will do anything to stop her and Lawrence, throwing everyone into a high-stakes game of chess where checkmate means the end of life as we know it. Fortunately, she has a few technological tricks up her sleeve that might help them cheat the game rules and save us all. As the pair works together, something seems to connect them on a level he doesn't understand--not that he minds a connection with such a pretty girl. But as Lawrence becomes further tangled in this global conspiracy, things like a car chase, getting his best friend captured and a corrupt cop all show him just how in over his head he is. And when the fate of the world is quite literally placed into his hands, he is forced to decide who will live and who will die. ~~~~~ ~ Completed duology of two romantic sci-fi thrillers ~Featured on Wattpad Picks (Sci-Fi Hidden Gems, Dec 2017) ~Highest rank: #16 ~Winner of seventeen awards, including: ~The Wave Awards: winner of Sci-Fi and Project Waves (overall) ~The Ooorahs: co-winner of Superhuman ~Winner of the Cryptic's Choice Award ~The Revolutionary Contest: winner of Kapoww (Action) in season 2

Gwyn is 34 years old, a successful veterinarian. She works long hours, and moved far away from her friends to take her current job. She's profoundly lonely, and has suffered from dysthymia and episodic major depression her entire adult life. She's always been made fun of for being a little tall for a girl, and even more so for being overweight and looking different. Of course, now she dresses "professionally" for work, and can assimilate into the mold she needs to, to be able to bring healing to her patients, but the mask is a heavy one. She takes solace in music and her pets. When she hears BVB are coming through town, she's totally stoked. She is a huge fan of their music and their message. She has also found a creative outlet in writing BVB fan fiction, though she'd die if anyone at work ever found out! But because of her job, she hasn't gone out to a concert in a long time, and a lot of the BVB Army is so much younger than her- while she is used to being made fun of, she doesn't want to get slapped around, or worse. She does have kind of a short fuse, sometimes. Could it get her into trouble?
