Pinned by a rock slide while conducting an environmental impact study in British Columbia's Coast Mountains, Mia Blackmore figures karma has finally caught up to her. Actually, she's surprised she got away with her crime this long.
When a rough-looking man with a French-Canadian accent nearly steps on her head, rescue seems just a fingertip away-then the slope shifts again, sending them both hurtling down the mountain.
The slide may have freed the auburn-haired woman, but undercover cop Hudson McClure still needs to keep her safe from the thugs who think he's one of their own. The gang isn't going to give up looking for their downed helicopter full of drugs. And, as it turns out, Mia and her decidedly wolfish dog, Neville, are his best shot getting to the crash first.
Mia's descent into Hudson's dangerous world is like a landslide she is powerless to stop. Though her talent staying cool under pressure exceeds even Hudson's own, there's a hunted look in her evergreen eyes that warns him she's hiding something-or from something. He just never anticipated her secrets could decide whether they get off the mountain alive...or in body bags.

Hired for secrets
Journalist Sofie has to seduce a handsome escort for an exclusive tell-all article without getting lost in temptations that could become deadly. "Sometimes you need to find the secrets within to unveil the ones around you." Sofie Black is an investigative journalist whose name is on hit-lists from crime lords, drug cartels, and corrupt organizations. She only goes after the most provocative and dangerous stories, like exposing the illegal tactics of a future Prime Minister. Fear isn't part of her vocabulary, and neither are other emotions. Until she meets Philip, the charming but aloof escort to the rich and powerful. He proves he's more than a handsome face or unwitting informant when he encrypts his seedy secrets in ruthless riddles. In fact, he is the architect of Club Elandra, flipping gender stereotypes and making him the puppet master to an influential female elite. Sofie breaks free from Philip's world of pretense, temptation and denial when a murder rattles his golden cage. As the prime suspect, Philip realizes this isn't a game anymore and that the only person able to help him now is Sofie. Will Sofie write her story and risk Philip's life, or will she protect him and bury the crimes she'd vowed to expose?Complete

KIDNAPPED
The vines always grow back. Reneè never wanted to be a hero. She just wanted to survive. After witnessing a brutal murder tied to the infamous Mr. Carlisle, seventeen-year-old Reneè becomes the last living witness-and his next target. Carlisle is a ghost, a myth whispered in the city's underbelly, and his influence reaches far beyond the shadows. With her aunt branding her a monster and her only friend vanished, the police are her only hope. But when Officer Jones takes her in for protection, Reneè realizes too late: safety is an illusion when you come face to face with the devil himself, Mr. Carlisle. Police protection is like a child's game to him. Now, trapped in a web of corruption, betrayal (from her aunt, mostly) and manipulation, Reneè must outrun Carlisle's empire. The world she knew has fallen away, leaving her isolated in a dangerous game where the rules are his alone. Because the vines of his influence are everywhere-some might be in the judge's gavel, the neighbor's smile, even the hands that promise to protect her. He is a master manipulator, pulling strings that control her fate and her heart. And the deeper she fights, the tighter they coil. But when the vines start growing inside her mind, who's really trapped? Is it her, bound by his obsessive world, or is it him, tethered by a desire he never saw coming?

Tell Me It's Forever
"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs.

I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?"

Affinity [h.s]
[COMPLETED] "I see you've become brave" He chuckles, his eyes dark. "I didn't have a choice," I say without a hint of emotion in my voice. His eyes stay still at me when after a certain point I look away for a moment as the situation was getting too intense. Our silent breathing filled the room as he stood there holding me to the door, his fingers digging deep in my skin. Hard but not enough to hurt. "You have to tell me what goes on in your mind when it comes to me. Why do you keep hurting me?" I look him in the eyes, questioning. He leans in making me doubt what he intended to do as I turn my head looking to my left. His forehead softly touches my temple and rests against it. For some reason, it calmed me down. I stand there not moving a bone, too scared perhaps. Slowly, he takes a few strands of hair tucking it behind my ear. I hear him take a deep breath, and slowly exhale through his mouth parting his lips. His warm breath made my skin moist as he slowly he leans further down to my ear and he touches it softly with his lips sending shivers down my body. "Trust me, you don't wanna know what goes on in my mind when it comes to you." //Grace Evans is the childhood friend of Harry Styles, a member of the world-famous band 'Affinity'.
