PART ONE
Cassiopeia has always been compared to her younger sister Amanda. The "perfect" daughter. Cassi's parents, biological and Step, have always doted on Amanda ever since she was a baby, leaving Cassi who was only 3 at the time to be neglected and feel inferior. The strange scar she has running from her elbow down to the back of her hand that she has no idea where it came from, doesn't help her either. Since elementary school, the other kids have teased her and ridiculed her for her weird scar.
But when a strange boy passes her a note, which reveals the current location of a shifting dance club, she runs out one night to dance the night away. And thanks to the strange boy, she always knows where the club moves to each night. Under the alias named Lightning, Cassi goes every night to be free. But her curiosity to know who the strange boy grows, and when the club gets threatened to be discovered, she has to choose between finding the identity of the strange boy or saving her and the other dancers night getaway.

Golden Boy
This is a rewritten version of Golden Boy! It's completely new except for the names of the characters. Everyone has that one thing that they fear the most, that if they ever had to go through it, it would traumatize them. For Elliot, it was having someone break into her house. She's been scared of that ever since watching Michael Myers stalk his niece from outside her window in Halloween, a movie that she shouldn't have watched when she was 8 years old. Elliot faces her worst nightmare when a strange person with unexplainable abilities finds himself in her room, uninvited on Halloween night. She wakes up the next morning with no memory of it. Elliot's senior year was supposed to be above average, in the sense that it would actually be fun compared to the first three years of high school. It was the last year she was going to spend in her hometown Ardsley, New York, before moving across the country to LA for college. She was going to spend it going to parties with her best friend Camilla, eating fro-yo every day, and prepping for prom and graduation. Elliot would never have guessed how a certain Golden Boy would have a hand in ruining her senior year. Now she was stuck uncovering the truth as she's dragged into a whole new world she never asked to be a part of, with a boy she's never asked to become friends with, and possibly gain a new outlook of life that might just keep her in New York for longer than she would have liked.Complete
The Dancing Darling and Her Bad Boy (Completed)
Quick side note: This book was originally named 'The Bad Boy, The Secret, and Me' and was renamed to its current title as of 27/04/2018 for existing/re-readers. It is not a werewolf/alpha story but simply my first book on here which started quite cliche from a young writer's perspective (so please do excuse my mistakes during your time reading). With that said, enjoy! --------------------------------------------------- "Who are you, Ally Parks?" I ask her. "No-one that you would care about," She replies. "You're living in my house, I would care to know something about you," Allison Parker is just an average girl. But she's also the best dancer in the school, and she's won competitions and everything! But she had to stop competing a while back, but why? Beckett Graham, the typical cliché 'Bad Boy'. Best at everything. Sport,cars,style, girls, But can he do EVERYTHING? Well... He can't seem to stop himself from staring at the beautiful girl at the studio before school one morning. He has no idea who she is, and at school, she's a completely different person. But what happens when she's made to live with the guy? Is she the girl at school or the girl she is when no one is looking? But people get suspicious, and that's what happens when Beckett notices that Allison is never around. What happens when he finds out who she really is? Find out in The Bad Boy,The Secret, and Me. © All Rights ReservedComplete
my rockstar | LUKE PATTERSON
Harmony Knight never knew much about her dad. He died just before she was born, and her mom refuses to talk about him, like mentioning his name might summon ghosts. Living in Los Angeles, she's learned to stop asking questions and start moving forward, even if part of her heart still aches for answers. One day, she stumbles upon something impossible, a ghost band trapped between life and death, still playing like it's 1995. And then there's Luke: the charming, reckless lead singer who shouldn't exist, yet makes her feel more alive than anyone ever has. As she starts spending more time with Luke and his band, the line between the living and the dead begins to blur. Dreams become more vivid, music pulses with a kind of magic, and she discovers she's connected to this ghostly world in ways nobody can explain. With each note, with every glance from Luke, she's pulled deeper into a mystery that goes far beyond music and first love. But the spirits aren't the only ones with unfinished business. A powerful and dangerous force lurks in the shadows of this world, one with a dark history tied to the Orpheum, to Luke... and maybe even to her herself. As secrets rise and the past begins to unravel, she must face the truth she's been unknowingly chasing her whole life: that some connections run deeper than blood, and some love stories are written in the stars... or maybe in the afterlife.Complete

𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫
"𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝, 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥." Cassian's voice was a husky whisper against Seraphina's ear, his fingers moving deep inside her as her back arched helplessly against the wall. The air was thick, the danger sharper than the pleasure tearing through her body. Her husband was only a room away. "Be a good little slut for me," Cassian murmured, lips brushing her throat, "or Lucian will hear you, and then he'll know exactly who owns you." Seraphina bit down on her lip, muffling the cry that threatened to break free. Her heart hammered in her chest - guilt, desire, fear - all colliding at once. It was madness, sin, everything she swore she'd never do... and yet she couldn't stop. Not when Cassian's touch felt like salvation. **** Seraphina thought she had married her dream man. Lucian Veyron, the dazzling billionaire who swept her into a fairytale romance, promised her forever. But after the vows, he became a stranger - cold, cruel, and determined to make her life miserable. Then the accident happened. Seraphina wakes in a private ward, nursed by gentle hands and soothed by a voice that calls her beautiful, a man who worships her body like she's his only prayer. But he isn't her husband. He's Lucian's identical twin - Cassian Veyron. Cassian is everything his brother isn't - tender, protective, dangerously addictive. When she's stronger, they return home with Lucian confined to a wheelchair, Cassian moves into their mansion to help. Now Seraphina is forced to live under one roof with the husband who broke her... and the brother who makes her burn. Every glance across the dinner table is fire. Every secret touch in the hallway is temptation. Every stolen night feels like a sin she never wants to escape.

⚠️THIS STORY IS OLD. IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. THE OTHER BOOK IS BETTER⚠️ Adeline was a good kid. She worked hard, took care of herself, and didn't let anybody push her around. At least that's what the kids at school thought. But, like most people, she had secrets. Things nobody knew about her. Nobody knew her mother and stepfather hated her. Nobody knew she lived alone with her best friend. Nobody knew that, outside of school, she was a totally different person. Nobody knew what she had been through, and all the things that left her shattered. This is how she lived her life. This is the only life she had ever known. But what would happen if all of that changed? Could one school lecture, a mishap at the courthouse, and a DNA test change her life forever? For the better or for the worst, Adeline's life is about to change. And for once in her life, she might not have to keep so many secrets. ********************************* Started: 6/18/2022 Finished: 7/29/2022 © 2022 Taylor Sassone Cover by my awesome sister @owlhootsburger13Complete
