"I warned you, Kristina," he said, leaning closer to me, his hand scorching my wrist, his silver eyes darkening to a stormy grey. "I told you what would happen if you defied me." Fire was racing up and down my arm. The rose necklace burned at my throat. "I love you, my Angel," he murmured, his eyes closing as he brought my hand up to his cheek. "The only question is, do you love me?" *** When Kriss Darcy returns to her family's upstate New York manor after her first year of university, she has no idea what the future has in store for her. A nineteen-year-old former theater star, she hasn't sung for others since her father, her idol and coach, died two years prior. But an obsession changes everything. A heavenly voice. Whispers of help. Passionate music stirring the air... and terrorizing the residents of the manor. A silver glare and a burning self-hatred. That's Ash. Childhood memories. A stolen kiss. Binging sitcoms... and confusing the hell out of Kriss. A shamrock gaze and a boyish charm. That's Jase. As the past meets the present, Kriss must decide what she wants. But every choice has a consequence - some more dire than others. *** "To love is to burn, to be on fire. Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility. And I don't know about you, but I sure as hell don't want to be set on fire." -------- #1 in masquerade - June 15, 2021 #1 in angel - November 8, 2021 #4 in demons - November 8, 2021 #7 in opera - April 3, 2022

Was published, but is now off the market--I'm sorry! Brianne is the opposite of her best friend, Kyla. Kyla is open-minded; Brianne is closed off, judgmental. Kyla is a hopeless romantic. Brianne? Not so much. So when Kyla shoves an apple into her face telling her to throw it across the cafeteria so she can find her future love, Brianne is anything but interested. And yet she throws the apple anyway. Who does the apple hit? Dannon Barone, the most popular boy in school. Though he's seemingly sweet and all-smiles, Brianne dislikes him. She thinks he's a fake, a fraud, someone who is just charming the crowds in order to gain popularity. But Brianne is about to learn that stereotypes are not true, and that she's been too quick to judge those around her. Brianne Nichols' life is about to change forever. And what does she have to thank for it? A bruised piece of fruit. Who would have known that a stupid apple could be right? | technically not part of the summary | Okay, so I know the prenote says to find any errors you can. Just letting you know there's no point to that anymore because I've reedited it two more times after this one (extensively so), and already sent it in to be self-published. The only reason that the prenote is still up is because a fan made an amusing slideshow and if I edit anything then the tags for the wattys will be gone and I'll no longer be entered , hahah!
