"We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it."
Cuba. 1955. A time of darkness and strife. The dictator, Batista, is holding onto power with a vice grip. Violence and corruption rule the streets with any opposition subjected to the barrel of a gun.
A young man, Dario Ruiz, is caught amidst these troubled times and sinks to the depths of despair. He seeks refuge among a band of revolutionaries, where his heart is captured by a fiery and passionate fighter, Juanita. A long journey awaits him, with love, triumph, failure, and betrayal all part of the arduous march to freedom.
"The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall."

Beautiful When Broken
Isla never stood a chance. The world broke her before she could even fight back. Used. Beaten. Forgotten. On her eighteenth birthday, she was thrown out like garbage, left to freeze, starve, and vanish into a city that never cared. Until one stormy night changed everything. She runs for cover, heart racing, rain soaking her skin- and stumbles into the middle of a mafia execution. Three men stand in the shadows. Valentino. Cruz. Nico. Names whispered in fear. Men carved from power, loyalty, and blood. They were raised to rule the streets with no mercy, no forgiveness, no heart. But when they find a trembling girl hiding, something inside them stirs. Something dangerous. Something they thought was long dead. She's fragile where they're brutal. Light in their darkness. And the moment she looks up at them with those terrified, defiant eyes- Their world tilts off its axis. Now the most feared men in the city have a choice: End her. Or risk everything for the girl who might be their ruin.
Anthem (Book One)
{NANOWRIMO WINNER} "He looked to the sky, wandering about the epic irony there was to his life, and to the victors of the war, and to his feeling of confusion through the winter blaze." Adlar Diedrick watched his mother die through the eyes of his old confused twelve-year old eyes His nose smelled the murder and injustice through the heavy bombs that fell upon his town. He watched Germany fall over him. When he finally saw his father, he questioned his state of mind. He questioned himself, through the deadly warfare that his aunt was raising slowly towards the Americans, a road to destroy the far Western nation and British foes alongside the allies. Adlar's state of mind is made to propel a question to a devastating dilemma- to kill the woman he called his aunt for vengeance, or to join her in the quest to show his gratitude for saving his life. The answer ran deeper than the wounds he received from time to time. |Finally finished| after a month of writing! Whoa! I hope you enjoy reading it :)Terminé

The Woodlands (#1 THE WOODLANDS SERIES) (COMPLETE)
Rosa never thought she'd make it to sixteen... When being unique puts you in danger and speaking your mind can be punishable by death, you might find yourself fighting to survive. Sixteen-year-old Rosa lives in one of the eight enclosed cities of The Woodlands. Where the lone survivors of a devastating race war have settled in the Russian wilderness because it's the only scrap of land left habitable on the planet. In these circular cities, everyone must abide by the law or face harsh punishment. Rosa's inability to conform and obey the rules brands her a leper and no one wants to be within two feet of her, until she meets Joseph. He's blonde, fair-skinned, green-eyed, and the laid-back complete opposite of Rosa. She's never met anyone quite like him, and she knows that spells danger. But differences weren't always a bad thing. People used to think being unique was one of the most treasured of traits to have. Now, the Superiors, who ruthlessly control the concrete cities with an iron fist, are obsessed with creating a 'raceless' race. They are convinced this is the only way to avoid another war. Any anomalies must be destroyed. The Superiors are unstoppable and can do anything they want. After all, they are considered superheroes by the general public. But not everyone sees them this way. When they continue to abuse their power by collecting young girls for use in their secret, high-tech breeding program, they have no idea that one of those girls has somehow managed to make friends even she didn't know she had. And one man will stop at nothing to save her.Terminé
