She enjoyed being off everyone's radar in the small town of Luxberg. She had a small group of friends, an adoring family, and a love for her town. That was until the Parkers moved in across the street. A new friend with a tattooed god for an older brother changes Gabby's normal little life upside down. She finds herself fascinated by Jackson Parker, especially by his criminal past-which is filed away in sealed records. Not even her father, the town police officer, will spill as to what her new neighbor did to put himself behind bars.

His eyes are set on making her the next victim of his playful games, just to piss off her dad. Even with her father's warnings to stay away from the new neighbors, Gabby finds herself breaking the rules for the first time in her life. It brings out the best and the worst of the people she trusts the most, including herself. Secrets she didn't even know she carried are brought to light, shaking the town to its core.

~ Complete~ You can spend decades trying to find your purpose and identity and never find it. I didn't know who and what I was. In order to find my origins I had to dig deep. I knew it would be messy but I didn't know I would be caught in the middle of an eternal conflict. I found what I was looking for but I also found something I didn't know I lost.

She's weird. He's weirder. Or maybe it's the other way around. Either way, they're both crazy. Crazy and meant to be.

"Y-you," she stuttered, staring at the handsome man sitting on the sleek black throne, "you're..." He rolled his eyes, waving his hand impatiently and said, "Hades. Come on, say it with me. Ha-des." "Hades," Ariel breathed out, still not believing the sight before her. Every picture she had seen of the gods had not depicted Hades' beauty. The god sitting before her was not a crusty old man with a white beard; no, he was a Calvin Klein model. "Yes," Hades clasped his hands together and grimaced, "the God of Death and riches; that's me." Ariel nodded, still refusing to believe but knowing she had to and Hades' grimace turned even bitter, "And you, darling, will be staying with me for quite some time." ~*~ Cover: _nymphomaniac Published: 8/6/14

Nik doesn't know what he's doing with his life. Before his father died, he was all set on becoming a great doctor, like him, but now, he just doesn't know. Dropping out of med school might have been a bad idea. Getting into art school would have give his father an aneurysm. Getting his body covered in tattoo was kind of an overkill. Thing is, Nik doesn't really care anymore. And he should care. He just doesn't know what to care about.

She couldn't be more excited, this is everything she's ever dreamed of and now she's one step closer to achieving her dream of working in Fashion and owning her own line.

And more importantly...three thousand, two hundred and eighty six miles away from her boyfriend & best friend, Ash. Ash has fallen hook, line and sinker for his best friend - Lou. These past few months with her have been the best of his life. He never thought in a million years he'd ever feel like this for someone, but Lydia holds his heart & now that he has her, he's terrified someone will try and take her away from him. And with Lydia leaving for New York for three months, he's scared the Big Apple could change things for them. But he knows this internship for Lydia is the real deal and the start of something huge for her, he won't let himself or his fears stand in her way. Even though he knows he'll miss her like crazy, he's making sure she gets on that plane. Things for Ayla and Fin have just begun.

But will three months & 3,000 miles apart be too much for the new couple? Follow Lydia & Ash's relationship along with Ayla & Fin's as they both try to make things work with an ocean separating them.

Afterlife is getting back to normal- as normal as it's ever been, anyway. Things are settling down, both literally and metaphorically. Anna is safe and living with Lydia (for as long as she can handle an unemployed, restless, and very loud roommate), and Theo is exactly where he belongs; with Daniel. A night of carefree (i.e.careless) debauchery aimed at proving nothing has changed raises concern when it starts Lydia looking for a little entertainment. A secret uncovered and a show of force by the government raise more alarms. If only something (or someone) would come along and give Lyds a reason to reel it in. Being undead is complicated enough, but now simply surviving can land you in hot water. "Life" has to be put on hold, but when the freedom of not only your best friend, but your entire species is at stake (no pun intended), you suck it up (pun absolutely intended) and do what needs to be done. Promising somebody you'll be together forever means something altogether different when you're immortal, and nobody gets to get in the way of that.
