*A Wattpad Featured Story* When a young woman snags Lawrence Croxley from the train station, he soon realizes that being late for work is the least of his problems. She plans to use his access to a major news network's cameras in order to warn the public of a massive syndicate, one that has sinister plans for her and the others like her. This shadowy group will do anything to stop her and Lawrence, throwing everyone into a high-stakes game of chess where checkmate means the end of life as we know it. Fortunately, she has a few technological tricks up her sleeve that might help them cheat the game rules and save us all. As the pair works together, something seems to connect them on a level he doesn't understand--not that he minds a connection with such a pretty girl. But as Lawrence becomes further tangled in this global conspiracy, things like a car chase, getting his best friend captured and a corrupt cop all show him just how in over his head he is. And when the fate of the world is quite literally placed into his hands, he is forced to decide who will live and who will die. ~~~~~ ~ Completed duology of two romantic sci-fi thrillers ~Featured on Wattpad Picks (Sci-Fi Hidden Gems, Dec 2017) ~Highest rank: #16 ~Winner of seventeen awards, including: ~The Wave Awards: winner of Sci-Fi and Project Waves (overall) ~The Ooorahs: co-winner of Superhuman ~Winner of the Cryptic's Choice Award ~The Revolutionary Contest: winner of Kapoww (Action) in season 2

A one night stand would have been a much more pleasing fate for Zana Bert than someone forcing himself on you at an event planned by Zana herself. Waking up the next morning to find herself alone with evidence of blood from the previous night on the bed. With no remembrance of who he was or what his name was she decided to forget that night and move on with her life with the support of her Nana ( grandmother) and bestfriend. Alex Flemming always had his way. He took what he wanted without reprimand. He wanted her body and curves underneath him and he had his way without consideration for the other. He destroyed her life without knowing it.And now his life was about to take a turn for both good and bad. **CAUTION*** (Trigger Warning) Contains mention of R*pe. This is my first story ever. Please people be kind with your comments. I hope you enjoy the story ☺️❤️.

Everyone has a fear. Fear of spiders? Arachnophobia. Fear of small spaces? Claustrophobia. And of course, the fear of being tickled by feathers: pteronophobia. Sophie Smart fears drowning. No, her fear isn't some made up malarkey like exposedflabophobia (acute paranoia when wearing a swimsuit and baring pasty thighs and a round bottom). Sophie drowned as a child. She died for three minutes. Her childhood trauma is real. Yet Sophie, hot-shot advertising executive, isn't a child anymore. Now Sophie's most important client, handsome Matthew Silver, is insisting she learn how to swim. She can't blame him really - he's the owner of a chain of swimming centers, and Sophie's in charge of his new advertising campaign. The last thing Sophie wants to do is get in the water, in a clingy swimsuit, with a client she's trying to impress. She's not going to win him over flapping around like an idiot, is she? But with a broken heart from her last relationship, maybe getting into the pool is just what Sophie needs. Maybe she can trust Matthew with her fears. Maybe it's time for her to forget about her past and take the plunge?
