I was going to fall into his darkness, and nothing could stop me. Every touch, every word, pulls me deeper into his world consuming me whole. He doesn't want to save me, he wants to own me.

The home of the Spencer was torn apart by a gruesome incident of murders committed by the only daughter of their family, Clementine, who stabbed her own father and a delivery boy that accidentally stumbled upon the scene. After undergoing arduous trials and legal battles, she was deemed not guilty by reasons of insanity and was sentenced to be institutionalized in a psychiatric hospital, in addition to promptly being disowned by her mother and brothers who now harbored a profound abhorrence of her. Eighteen years later, Cameron Crane, Clementine's second younger brother made the decision to take over her guardianship as she was no longer viewed as a threat, but his endeavor was all his own and without telling his other brothers of the fact that their father's killer was coming home with him, he swore that even if he had to cross what remained of his family, he was determined to understand what really happened that day.

"Go ahead," I said, backing up against the pink wall of the shop. "Do something other than glare at me." I waited. One, two, three seconds... and nothing. I raised my chin at him. "You're boring me, mute boy." He stepped closer. Leaned toward me as his gaze burned into mine. Then... ❀ ❀ ❀ After three months in juvenile detention, it's time for Romy Pereira to help out with her family's flower shop. And it's not all bad... until they hire Jack Michel to work beside her. He doesn't speak, communicating with glares and scowls instead of words, and seems to be more interested in literal rocks than other human beings. And with an ex-convict mother, her friends drifting away, and the flower shop falling apart, the last thing Romy wants to deal with is Jack's attitude. She'll forever praise the day he screws up big time and gets himself fired, but until that day comes, it's mostly one cold-hearted girl, her silent (but still infuriating) coworker, and a whole lot flowers.

Seven cousins, a blackmailer, a grudged teacher, a secret admirer, a desperate student, and a stalker is too much to handle. Not to mention a certain blue eyed boy with a twitchy eye and flattering tongue. That's not all! Why did the most annoying guy at school stop bothering her? Did he really have a change of heart? Or is there an ulterior motive behind it? Or it might be that her revenge schemes finally made him give up. What is her past, no one knows. She stopped asking questions years ago. Will the secret of her parent's death ever unravel? What does the box that was left for her when she was two contain? What will change her life? All it takes is just one twist! ~~~ I saw him leaning against his shiny silver car. When I walked by, he smiled and nodded. I looked behind me, but I saw no one else there. What just happened? I looked at him again and he did something else. He winked. I blushed like a girl and my heart fluttered. 'He's tricking you,' my mind scolded my heart. But I couldn't help thinking, 'maybe going to the party tonight won't be so bad after all.' A teen fiction with loads of humour, a tea spoon of mystery and a sprinkling of romance.
