Lenox knows one thing about this summer-it's going to suck. While her friends are off vacationing in the Hamptons, she's stuck with her grandparents in the middle of nowhere. However, Lenox's luck changes when she meets her idol, Kaylie, a popular beauty YouTuber. Kaylie is everything Lenox wants to be-outgoing, successful, and gorgeous. She'd do anything to be in Kaylie's social orbit, including telling a few white lies to become her personal assistant. As Lenox hides who she is from everyone, including Kaylie's good-looking brother, Callen, she finds appearances are deceiving and lies have a nasty way of coming out.

Accused of an assault he doesn't remember, Ricky's senior year is made doubly complicated when he falls for the victim's best friend, Olivia - his only alibi. *** Growing up among New York's high society seems glamorous from the outside, but looks can be deceiving. 17-year-old Ricky, who's cultivated a long list of rumors because of his bad boy behavior, knows this first-hand. But when he's wrongly accused of sexually assaulting a classmate, things take a turn. Especially when discovering the victim's best friend, Olivia, is his only alibi. With feelings quickly growing stronger between them, Ricky can't help falling for Olivia's kind nature, yet complications lurk around every corner, made worse still by the dark secret Ricky's been hiding for years, and his biggest fear is someone uncovering the truth behind the bad rumors. What will happen to Olivia and Ricky when the secret finally comes out? It's a long way down from high society to rock bottom. Content Warning: This story is a depiction of real life. It, therefore, contains mature content in the form of sexual assault, explicit language, violence (involving minors), sex, drinking, and drug use. Just like real life does.

"He was a smoker. She asked him why. He said it was his slow suicide." - REVIEWS: "Slow Suicide is one of the best books that I've read. A beautiful story of two strangers that befriend each other and it soon became love. Shows that you can brighten someone's day with just a simple greeting or maybe getting to know them. Cig and Rainy are a beautiful pair that brings light into the darkness and turns night into day with their love story." -@Kaybae1212 "A touching story of true love told through small, sweet encounters. So many twists and turns that you will never see coming. A beautiful and safe love story overall that will leave you in tears! (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)" -@Squirtle301 "Slow Suicide will make your emotions spin like the twists and turns of this story. Each chapter will make you wonder what will happen next. As a person who's not a fan of reading romance, this was definitely out of this world like no other. Filled with despair, romance, heartbreak, and twists, you would be questioning life even more. This is truly a must read. The author has truly captured my attention throughout the entire story, as every chapter is like a beautiful structure built in with the words that help me envision what love can evolve in." -@Hope-Mist - Book 1 in the "Pure Love Tales" series. Highest rank: #8 in Short Story.

I've lived alone for eight and a half years, running from my past. That's a hell of a thing for a shifter to do. Eve Rutledge moves to a new town every year and keeps her head down, never checking in with the local predator pack and intimidating the prey to ignore her. Eight and a half years ago, she saw her brother, sister, and niece killed by a group of warlocks who want her to be next. After escaping, she hid, telling herself she only wanted a quiet life. But her luck finally runs out when the pack in her new town takes an interest in the new comer. The wolf pack may want her allegiance, but Eve will never consent to join any pack. When a Liaison to the Wolf Council comes to town, he brings someone she never thought to see again and sets into motion a series of events the world will never forget. And as much as she wanted to escape the wolves, it seems like this mysterious shifter is bound to them for life. **** Hi guys! *waves* This will evolve into a play on the Arthurian legends - give it some time to get there (I promise it will happen). This is a huge mishmash of a whole bunch of different lore set in modern day so be prepared for a little bit of everything! ~M

The Goblin's Trilogy #1 After being raised by her three criminal brothers, Matilda is used to stealing what she wants. However, when she picks the wrong person's pocket, she, unfortunately, wins the attentions of the goblin king, or well, prince actually. In one fell swoop, her life shifts and a thief is made a queen. The queen of a hoard of nasty, ugly, vile creatures with a taste for chaos. Surprisingly, she finds that this arrangement suits her just fine. But even the goblin queen's crown might not be enough to slate Matilda's greed as she sets her sights on overthrowing Queen Mab and becoming ruler over the entire Unseelie Court. ---- Author's note: I'm shooting to update every Thursday or Friday, depending on my work schedule. Happy reading and beware of goblins. Beautiful cover is courtesy of @thisrosewillneverdie
