It's been a very trying year since Clarisse Ricci's world shattered dramatically. Her beloved father, Lorenzo, a larger-than-life billionaire that everyone admired for his kind, protective nature and savvy business management died suddenly. Everyone called it a tragic accident. Clarisse, however, isn't buying it. Now a senior in high school, with the looming thought of going to university and her future on the horizon, she cannot let go of the feeling that something darker happened. Her life soon takes a dangerous turn. Together with Joseph Samuels, her loyal (and occasionally stubborn) English boyfriend, and her creative thirteen-year-old sister, Camille, Clarisse dives into a mystery that threatens everything her parents built for them. The girls' mother, Isabelle, a world-renowned artist, tries to help, but even she is drowning in her own grief and distractions. Then the real danger steps out of the shadows: Harold Ward, Lorenzo's ruthless former COO, who's determined to claim the Ricci legacy for himself. Suddenly, Clarisse isn't just chasing answers but she is fighting to protect her family's future. If she fails, they could lose everything- their safety, their independence, and their chance at the lives they're just beginning to heal. Clarisse and Joseph thought turning eighteen meant gaining more freedom. Instead, it meant stepping up and risking it all. Will Clarisse and Joseph be able to succeed?

To pay for past sins not only with time but also the heart - it resulted in a bigger pain than he had imagined. Hendrik has a mission: kill a girl in order to find redemption. After centuries of taking souls to the Underworld, finally being given a chance to set himself free seems like a simple task. At first. Little did he know, that the road to salvation would end up being far more tormenting than a thousand previous lives. Inspired by Stu Larsen's Maybe I Am (Wrote this for NaNoWriMo 2017 and thought it would be better off published somewhere than idly sitting amidst many WIPs.)

The NEVER/EVER: A story about heartbreak (obviously)..There are consequences to breaking someone's heart which is where the NEVER/EVER Clause comes in. It's a Clause written into every couples story, but is only enacted if ONE of the TWO breaks the others heart through such means as for example : CRUELTY, DECEPTION, & NOT UP TO BUT ALSO INCLUDING APATHY, LOSS OF EMPATHY, PHILANDERING/GALLIVANTING, etc. Think of it as LOVE's most ULTIMATE/ABSOLUTE LAW. Whenever the NEVER/EVER Clause is engaged the K.A.R.M.A Department is called in to...issue the assigned PUNISHMENT, as well as determine the duration of said INFLICTION/ORDER so as to deliever swift justice to the WRONGED. The AGENTS of K.A.R.M.A are drafted from the ranks of those unfortunate enough not to have survived their own brush with LOVE. They say HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED for a reason. Where did you think DEMONS came from? MERCY isn't a term found in their CODE OF CONDUCT, not that there is a CODE OF CONDUCT, per say-they are DEMONS after all. There are NO PASSES, NO EXCEPTIONS, & NO WHERE TO RUN or HIDE. In the NEVER/EVER an agent of K.A.R.M.A (DEMON) will be sent to Earth to take up GUARDIANSHIP of SECTOR A938-B & monitor the populace in her designated zone. Now WHY DEMONS? Well, that's simple: possession makes it easy to shift sex's & allows flexibility inside the K.A.R.M.A Department without need for wasted manpower. Even HELL has a budget, but by leasing out VENGEFUL DEMON's who were wronged in their past lives the DAMNED can buy back their souls from the DEVIL. It takes 666 convicted CRIMINALS to balance the scales, once the quota is met the DAMNED is relinquished & fitted with a NEW PERSONA, & RELEASED back into the MORTAL REALM. Not a bad deal, right?
