Published through Amazon Kindle -- November 1, 2014. First seen on Wattpad, Sweet Southern Trouble has been published, and this is only a sample of the story, from the unedited version. When the truth comes out...it usually comes out of Becky O'Shea's mouth. And when her dying grandmother sends her on a wild-goose chase for the truth about the O'Shea heritage, Blabbermouth Becky finds herself knee-deep in a small town with enough scandals, gossip and sickening apple pies to keep her entertained while she investigates her own mystery. But with any great quest, there is usually a man or two standing in the way. As the small town's police chief, Nick Harris typically spends his days playing cupid to bickering old couples and chaperoning bored teenagers. Then Becky O'Shea pops into his station, smelling like fresh-baked cookies, and suddenly he is overrun with problems. Becky just wants to honor her grandmother's memory. Nick wants her out of town as soon as possible. However, long-buried secrets have a way of coming back to life...resurrecting old love stories and creating new ones.

*In major construction. Do not read unless you do not want to read the ending for a very long time until I get things figured out. Thanks!* I was just a hacker. Your average, seventeen-year-old, very sarcastic hacker. Well, average if you thought average meant living with your fried chicken obsessed uncle after your ex-secret agent parents mysteriously disappeared off the face of the Earth. Until that day. A simple business card from an odd boy claiming he needed a hacker for something of the utmost importance. Now? I’m working with the son of the director of the FBI to figure out who wants his father—and possibly us—dead. Not to mention not getting caught and totally not falling for him all while still trying to figure out where my parents are. As I said, nothing good could come of this.

This novel is an adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Blind since birth, Elle Duncan has only ever known darkness, but lack of sight has never hindered her ability to perceive the beauty of the world. Her kind and gentle soul is put to the test when her father sustains an injury that threatens their livelihood, and in desperation, he turns to the most unlikely of saviors-the Rossetti Beast. Don Rossetti is bound for an unchanging fate. He is bad-tempered, with an equally dark and scarred countenance to match. With a heart forged of ice and a soul confined to darkness, he has surrendered to a forlorn existence. But when a peasant man arrives from the village begging for a favor, he is compelled to aid the farmer in exchange for a price-a price that Elle will be forced to pay.

“M-mercy.” His eyes flash red and for a second, I almost believe that he’ll stop — that he’ll put an end to this. But then his lips curl into a cold smile. “Didn’t you know, Allison? There’s no mercy in hell.” ———— There’s a lot of bad blood between Allison Crane and Theo Fontaine. Considering that he’s the reason her life went to hell, Allison isn’t keen on dolling out forgiveness any time soon — but like it or not, the vampire-incubus hybrid is the only man in the city who can save her. The only problem? She has to meet him under his terms - or not at all. When the price of survival may cost her everything — her body, her blood… her heart — just how far is Allison willing to go to save herself? And once Theo sinks his fangs into her… will she even want to?

This is a story I wrote the majority of daily, as part of NaNoWriMo 2013. The concept for the story is one that I have been considering for a while. Earlier this year, I wrote about 3000 words on the subject as part of our Wattpad HQ Writeathon, and that work can be found under "Wattpad Writeathon 2013: Skyward". However, I wanted to start fresh for NaNoWriMo, so I have created this story to capture my progress through November.
