The Lone Dove #1 Love and Trust are two very important ideals, but what happens when the moment you lose the two most important people in the world and are left with an inheritance, and a company you find you cannot trust anyone else with. That is Poppy Parker's predicament. My predicament as a teenager that breaks tradition at Queen City high school, both a shadow and the subtle centre of attention. That was the dangerous part. My inheritance placed me in the most precarious of positions, finding managers to trust, finding school to be complicated and not for the tasks at hand, but because my closest friends knew next to nothing about my family. The Parker name. Its a common name, a common label...not a title, not a legacy. I am the last legacy, it's my birthright to live up to this name. The Elite at this high school find her shadows worth following, worth connecting with, worth trying to understand...that is the last thing she wanted. I'm a private person, I was raised to be that way. My best friends were always kept at an arm's length, only told what they needed to know, not all that they could know. The Elite interfere with this line of safety. What happens when they get too close? What happens when my shadows reveal my secrets, making my friends question my absence at school, my authority over professors, and my power over the elite themselves? It all burns down in flames.

Maximus' POV of The Lone Dove: #2 Maximus Myers, a treasure to the Queen City High School, his own parents attended and fell in love. His mindset was not a mirror image of his father's, being a businessman was not his main goal when his mother, Annalisa Myers, the dark swan, would tell him stories of finding his one true love. He didn't believe in the whole Prince Charming way of finding his Cinderella and he'd never tell anyone, he'd rather be broke but, happy and in love than watch another student down the swept of every speck of dust hallway. He'd still receive gushing looks from many girls, but, every time he'd look into their eyes, hoping to find something that would give him warmth, only to be left stared at because of the suit on his back, the money in his overloaded pockets and the title of his heart, but, no warmth. All until the moment, the one girl he'd die for, he'd cherish to the ends of the world and he didn't even know it yet. His friend, Ivan Torres made the right decision in coming back early from France, Maximus hadn't yet known why. Now, all he ever dreams about, what his every thought is consumed of, the dangerous little blonde, who at first glance, her sharp forest emerald gaze, set fire to his everything.

*Being Published in 2022* ❝You can't deny that you're attracted to me, Nyx. Instead of fighting it, let's see what happens,❞ he grumbled, hands roaming my body. His thumb brushed my bottom lip. ❝Open up for me, baby.❞ -------------------------------------------------------- Nyx just can't seem to escape her eternal night, the very darkness she was named after. She tries to play her cards right, however, the outcome is a paradox. Whilst she obtains the results she wanted, it comes at the expense of some of her relationships. Angry at the world, her hatred is ravenous for none other than Beckham Hunt, captain of the ice hockey team. Beckham loathes Nyx Taylor after what she's done, that much he is certain of. Nobody boils his blood as she does and when she's hired to assist his team during championship season, he discerns that there's more to her story than meets the eye. She was always the villain in his story. But, suddenly she's the plot twist he never saw coming. Each glare and scowl and insult piles up, put under tremendous pressure by their mutual hatred. Yet, peeking through their fury clouded vision, they find the centre of their relationship blazing. Like two rival stars gravitating towards each other, Nyx and Beckham can do nothing when the law of attraction forces them to accept that passion doesn't always mean hatred, but perhaps something more.
