Family - the most important thing in the world, right? If it's your own, maybe. But if it's the family of the incredibly powerful, incredibly alluring businessman with whom you've been conducting a secret office affair, and they don't yet know about the affair, things are a little bit different. Life is about to get real for Lilly Linton. All those stolen moments behind closed doors, those secret kisses and whispered words are about to catch up with her. As she and her boss, business-magnate Rikkard Ambrose, travel north to his parents' palatial estate, she is about to discover whether she has the strength to step out of the shadows and change her fate forever. Volume four of the award-winning "Storm and Silence" series.

This isn’t a love story, it’s a love adventure. First love’s a killer, but so is seventeen-year-old Annabelle Blanc. She was raised to be an assassin and taught to never fall in love. She’s at the top of her game until she meets Gabriel Sanchez. Totally devoted to her profession, she’s never been naive. Except for when it comes to love. Wealthy, spoiled and self-indulgent, Gabriel Sanchez doesn’t think past his next conquest. Until he sets his sights on Annabelle. Expecting the mysterious Anna to be like every other girl, Gabriel finds himself drawn into a world of deception and murder. As two worlds collide, will Annabelle and Gabriel be able to overcome betrayal, revenge and heartbreak to find love?

This is not your typical "Beauty and the Beast" love story.

Kashine Douglas is normal. Well, almost normal. She's mute. People bully her in school because of it, and her life seems like a living hell. The only thing that allows her to escape is YouTube. She posts videos of singers dancing along to their songs. Her videos are very popular, and she's becoming a rising star. Then One Direction calls to let her know she is their new choreographer. Terrified, Kashine accepts. How will the boys cope with her silence? Will they be able to help her? Or will Kashine stay mute forever? ***PLEASE READ: This is very carrot-y since I wrote it years ago, and I hardly knew anything about mute conditions. Please remember that it's fan-FICTION and should not be taken literally. Thank you for understanding. :) ***
