NOTICE: Before the Morning is currently undergoing revisions! A sensitivity reader (someone who goes through your manuscript and assesses representations in your work) identified a number of issues surrounding the Filipino representation in BTM. I'm rewriting with the goal of creating a more authentic and respectful story. I'm sorry for the pain I caused by failing to include accurate Filipino culture and in having written from Nora's point of view.

Mary Robinson is a 16 year old girl who is starting her Junior Year of High School. Her life is the complete opposite of perfect. Her father is a drunk which leads him to the road of violence. Her mother, her best friend, struggles to pay for the necessities needed in life. On the first day of school, a new student is admitted to their school, Luke Collins. He shows her that love really does exists and that a person can be saved. I took his hand and squeezed it. I knew it was hard for him to say that. "I bet she was a wonderful mother," I smiled. "Wonderful, beautiful, nice, and even more," he whispered. "I miss her so damn much." I let him lay his head on top of my thighs. I really didn't want him to cry. I hate seeing people cry, especially him because he's always happy. I guess it's true though, the happiest people are the ones hurting the most. I brushed the hair off his face. His eye color was a darker than usual. I could sense sadness in them. A few minutes later I glanced down at Luke. His eyes were shut and he was snoring very softly. I swear I had butterflies in my stomach. I slowly lowered my head to kiss him on the forehead. "Goodnight Luke," I whispered. This book contains two parts. One about the story of her and Luke and another of the future. I hope you enjoy! BTW I know there are many errors! I will fix them as soon as I finish the book! *Trigger Warning*

After having her heart broken by the boy she'd been in love with her whole life, Brimmy Somell decides to take a little...vacation. Little does she know, it turns out to be much more permanent than she had originally thought. After meeting tall, sexy, and mysterious Marcello Pietro, Brimmy finds herself having to make a life-changing decision and putting herself in a dangerous position she'd never imagined to be in. °•°●°•°●°•°●°•° "I love you." He says with no hesitation. It takes a moment for my hazy mind to catch up. I'm still in a daze, mesmerized by his perfections, and the deep dimple set in his cheek. I blink, "What?" "Don't make me say it again." He says, sounding frustrated, but I catch the hint of embarassment in his voice as he runs his hand through his hair and takes a step back. I grab a hold of the neckline to his shirt and yank him back within close proximity of me. "What if I want you to say it again?" I ask, studying his eyes. "Isn't it enough that I said it once?" He scowls, trying to pull back, but I restrain him from doing so. "Nope. Just say it one more time and I'll be satisfied." I state bravely, feeling a boost of confidence I didn't have earlier. He glances down, then looks back up into my eyes, allowing me to spot the vulnerability and uncertainty he feels. "I love you." He says, putting more strength in his voice than he looks to have. I grin, pulling him in for a kiss, but right before I do, I say the one phrase that will seal my fate, "I love you too, big, bad mafia boss." ••••• The story may be rough but the comment section makes up for it. ••••• Word count: 51,173 ••••• Written and published 2018-2019
