In a world where humans and elves had always lived in harmony, a prophecy was made that an evil power would arise and bring the ruin of the human kingdom. Blinded by fear, the human race turned against the elves and the animosities that followed were to transform their kingdoms. Ines is a woman living in a man's world. No one in the army knows her true identity, and she'd rather keep it that way. Unbeknownst to her, though, someone has already found out her secret and her time is running out. She will have to uncover the truth behind the prophecy and her past that are slowly rising to the surface, and hope she is not too late. . . . . . '𝖂𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊 𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊'𝖘 𝖕𝖔𝖎𝖘𝖔𝖓 𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊'𝖘 𝖆 𝖗𝖊𝖒𝖊𝖉𝖞.'

Carmine Horiental is just your average hot-tempered teenager. She expects her best friend to ditch her for his girlfriend, her brothers to make her morning as awful as possible, and the bus to pick her late for school. What she does not expect is to get kidnapped out of the blue alongside her friends. It gets even worse when they are being used as guinea pigs for Maverick Incorporated. A game company that does a lot of shady things in the background. Carmine and her friends are introduced to Matrix - the fight for power. They have to survive in this new dicey and scary world. In a virtual-reality world where irregulars such as Carmine are outcasts and a certain grey-eyed man harbours a deep hatred for her kind. °°°° Excerpt: I feel, I think the word is... useless. While I'm standing here, my friends are busy preparing for a mission I won't be of much use anyways. Stupid Carmine, stupid. Only now do I notice the glares I'm getting from villagers. The looks of scorn of their faces. The dejection, the rejection. I can see it all on their faces. I wonder why they all look at me like that... because I'm the irregular? "The second term: You can't sell me out to anyone or the deal's off. Now the deal's off, and I'm leaving." He whispers, then it takes a phase for him to realise our close proximity. He doesn't move an inch though, as if I would run away if he does... not that I won't. His aura turns dangerously weary as he approaches me and doesn't stop until my back hits a tree and the space between us is as little as a centimeter and he looks at me with so much venom. "Well you're right irregular, I would be delighted if you died right now. But where's the fun in that?" His face turns smug and a tiny smirk pulls on his lips, his breath fanning my face. "We're just getting to know each other afterall." Things are about to get steamy. When fire meets ice.

Delaine Holden, a woman filled with enigma and compassion, a woman any man would love to come home to and any woman would want to be like. A woman who could have any man with just a snap of her fingers but she couldn't. She was a lesbian, something she was not ashamed off, she embraced it, lived by it until Christian Matson came into the picture throwing her life completely off balance. Who knew all it took was an encounter with one man to make her question everything she had lived by. Christian Matson was by far anything from perfect. He had his own demons to fight. He wasn't branded as the handsome millionaire bastard for nothing after all. What happens when amidst all the darkness and shadow he had come to terms with comes a light in the form of Delaine? A woman who sets him in a temper almost every time she opens her mouth, a woman who is not afraid to curse him out, a woman who is seemingly taking a piece of his heart everyday. How will fate bring together a woman who is dead set on wanting nothing romantic to do with a man and a man who is afraid of loving someone? We don't know but one thing we do know is that if it's bound to be, it'll be.

A stolen diary, an English project and a lot of hormonal teenagers starts off this story. Joanne is a feisty introverted college freshman that just so happens to be stuck with the most popular guy in school for an English project. Love blossoms and Joanne feels as though all will be fine. She would recover from her sister's death and finally be happy once again. Fate isn't having it though. Just when everything started to go in the right direction, her entire world based on fantasies of a better tomorrow comes crashing down. Just then she realizes that all she had ever accomplished and all the good things that ever happened to her were nothing but lies. When Joanne Gyles discovers her sister's killer but also happens to be in love with him, she must choose between what is right and what her heart wants. Excerpt: "As if I knew. Its just... Cory." I keep on ranting. "One moment he acts like he doesn't care, the next moment he's breathing down my neck with worry. I can't stand him, at the same time I hate when he's not around. Its like I'm addicted to what I hate the most. I'm so stressed out." Who is ever really able to explain the boy that you hated the most, forced you to be a genie, made you go to a party, made you start using cuss words. In short turned your life upside down, has made you also fall for him. Fall so deep that now, a life without him seems like a void in need of filling. It scared her. Love sucks, and that had been Joanne's motto for the past two years, fate had dealt her a bad hand but with Cory everything didn't seem all that bad.

Fear cripples, people always say and I have been crippled by fear for as long as I can remember. His magnificent beauty is out of this world. He tugs at my heart strings... I think I... I think I like him!! I'd never admit that to him so easily. He says he can help, he wants me to let him in, but I'm just afraid that instead of freeing me, he might break me... _________________________________ "The rain doesn't always wash away the pain" "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass.
