Just one more year. One more year and I would be out of this place, safe, no longer in danger. That is, if I even made it to graduation. Hope wasn't even a thing on my radar until a stranger with bright blue eyes called my name at the bottom of a hill. He was kind, warm and he acted like he might actually care about me, the problem was...he was my teacher. How could I push him away when all he wanted to do was help me live? Can I believe what he says? Can I trust him? Or is my fate of dying before I get my diploma sealed in the stars? Here's to senior year.

{For those who HATE student/teacher stories, TRY THIS ONE ANYWAYS. I dare you to read it and say it was a waste of time} Alice 'Ace' Spade had fled her horrible foster family by the time she was sixteen and found a way to survive by dancing in a sleazy strip club. One night a man named Malcolm is brought in by his friends and Ace and Mal hit it off. Until the cops crash the club and discover that Ace is only seventeen and a runaway. They force her back to school and back to the foster family that abused her. Her only solace is that Malcolm is now her teacher and sometimes protector. But what happens when they still have powerful chemistry and a growing affection towards each other?

These are little one shot stories that I wanted to do for my student/teacher romances. These stories show what happened to Alice and Malcolm from Queen of Spades, after their story concluded. These stories will also show the continuation of Westley and Maddison's romance and may include short romance stories of their friends and families as well.

Westley Vincent James Jr. had been in a Spanish street gang, graduated to Los Santos gang when he returned to Cuba and now finds himself at odds with the world of his father in Canada. He has trouble with authority, no clue what he wants from his future and can only be sure of one thing, the new dance teacher Ms. Avery, makes something inside his chest hurt with the need to hold her. She's just supposed to be the substitute dance teacher and his calculus tutor, but what happens when West wants her to be something more?

(Sequel to Queen of Spades/King of Hearts stories) Nathaniel Vega grew up in a less than conventional family. His mother and father had once been student and teacher, his best friend was also his adoptive sister and his family seemed to include people who had no blood relations but shared a lot of love. Grace James has grown up with Nate playing at first big brother, now best friend and would be lover, but she is no fool to fall for his easy charms. She is trying to find where the line of friendship ends and where her independence from her best friend begins. Ophelia James is dying. Cancer is breaking her body down before she has even had a chance to live and do all the things she promised herself she would do when she had time. Bound by blood and love, Nathaniel, Grace and Ophelia inevitably get in the way of each other's lives, and somehow change the course of each other's fates. But when the happiness of all of them rests on a miracle, what sort of future can any one of them have?
