(The Triumvirate Histories Book Three)
What do you call the girl who gets on a jet with the supposed enemy rather than one that would have taken her normal, not so dangerous life in New York?  A traitor to the people who call her family, betraying them to the people they'd called the enemy for centuries.
Now, add a woman who had almost successfully killed you just a few months before, though had turned extremely nice and even protective, and her nephew who looks at you with an expression you want to just slap right off his face?  The two people who supposedly had a plan that would pretty much make you disappear off the face of the earth.  
And what happens when that plan completely breaks the heart of the man you love, even if it works perfectly?  You shatter your own in the process...which you think you deserve for doing it to him and everyone else who loves you.
Anyone who hears my story might think I'm a traitor, but I'm not...no matter how much I feel like I am.  I was going off with the Knights learn more about their side of the story.  Being with them, I knew it was going to change me, too.  They were the fighters, the protectors of the Brotherhood, even though they thought they were out to destroy them.  
And I was going to protect them now, too. 
According to the reports, the Order wasn't hiding out anymore.  They were on the move, infiltrating giant corporations and governments of wealthy, powerful countries.  We were going to try everything to stop them and their ambitions of molding and controlling the future in their favor.
And how could I forget the inside, the one who was telling all the Brotherhood's secrets, even if the Knights had already known them?  
But before I could do that, I had to disappear, make sure that no one came to look for me...and that involved breaking the hearts of my family, friends...and, most importantly, John.  
His heart had been broken so many times in his life...but now I was going to shatter it.

Snapping Point - Book ONE of The Cardinal Trilogy: Spotting Xenia amidst the crowd at his inauguration, Romano De Rossi's gaze fixated on the quietly stunning woman who had no place in the TIF Estate. She wasn't kin, she wasn't a whore, and according to TIF protocol, outsiders weren't to set foot here unless they intended to leave in a body bag. Observing her every move with a lethal intensity, Romano noted only innocence in her actions. When Morelli, his Don, finally caught sight of her during the night of festivities, his immediate instinct was to kill. Fortunately for Xenia, Romano, who seldom spared a glance for the women deemed disposable by Morelli or targeted by him, felt a stirring of an emotion he scarcely recognized - pity. At the risk of his own life, he intervened, sparing hers and making it clear what he wanted-not sex as she'd expected, but a chilling reminder: never cross paths again. However, mere weeks later, Xenia resurfaced in a guise Romano could never have imagined, making him regret his merciful choice. She thrusted herself back into the dangerous side he'd warned her to keep off. This time, he was prepared to handle her with the ruthless resolve he'd once ignored. But as he began to mold her into a valuable pawn for his deadly game of power and war, love unexpectedly meddled. And isn't it said that in love and war, all is fair? Well, in this ring of love and warfare, nothing was equitable. Against Romano's better judgment, he dived headlong into a forbidden territory just to slake this maddening curiosity for a presumed dead enemy. He craved it, ignored the potential aftermath, damned it. As time passed and conventional wisdom dictated that these feelings should fade, they only grew stronger and daring, driving them both to the borders of their own destruction. The truth is, no matter the side of the world in which they were caught - light or darkness - death was just a step away from knocking. And, truthfully, it knocked!

****book two of Savage MC series***** "Go on sweetie, blow out the candles and make a wish. Now don't tell anyone or it won't come true" "I wont, I promise". * We've all dreamed of being princesses who wore beautiful dresses and danced and swirled around in high roofed ball rooms. We've all wanted long, wavy hair and looks that stopped people in their tracks. We've all wanted a Kingdom that worshipped us indefinitely, starstruck on the idea of us. I wished and got my dream, in a roundabout way. See I wore beautiful outfits that were designed solely for me. I had hair that many would kill for and had perfected my make up to the point that I gave make up artists a run for their money. Best of all I had a Kingdom that worshipped the ground I danced on and paid to do it too; starstruck didn't come close to what they felt when they saw me. Yeah I got my fairytale princess story, in a way that was no sort of fairytale at all. * Aine had her Kingdom that she fought to own the throne in and Switch had his brotherhood that was all he needed. Two different people, two different stories. When trouble arises in the club, she'll do whatever she has to do to keep herself from becoming vulnerable and he'll do everything to tear her Kingdom apart...question is will he get what he wants or destroy them both in the process? Funny how time passes and it seems like it hasn't at all. ************************************** Three things about this story: -I'm going to make you love something you otherwise would hate. -I'm going to make you hate something you previously loved. -And by doing both of the above I'm going to break your heart. Get ready. ***Sexual content and bad language****

(The Triumvirate Histories Book Four) What does the world think when a girl who'd been dead for three months turns up at the site of a huge CIA raid, which ended up with an explosion and four deaths? That she might have been in a stickier situation before than they'd known. What did they think would happen when she had a major panic attack after she realized that everything about her was gone, locked away in her mind? Well, obviously what did happen...or else they wouldn't have been prepared to knock her out again with morphine. And just who would that girl be? Me, Emmy Alexander...at least, that's who they told me I was. You know the stories of people with amnesia after a traumatic accident. They don't remember weeks, months, or maybe even a few years of their lives. I'd call them lucky, because they at least had a foundation to build on. Me? I couldn't remember a thing when I'd woken up after they'd knocked me out after my panic attack. I couldn't remember me, my family, my best friend, how I'd gotten the burns and cuts that now marred my body... I couldn't remember whose green eyes haunted my dreams every single night. My therapist said that my memories might come back in my dreams, when my subconscious mind was free to be revealed. And so far, she'd been right. Parts of my life were slowly coming back to me - my father's laugh, my mother's smile, my brother Jason's and best friend Drake's annoying overprotectiveness. But there were others that I couldn't explain - a tale of secret societies, puzzle keys, bronze boxes, and break-ins to museums and government buildings around the world. It wasn't until I saw those eyes on a man, who seemed so familiar that it made my heart ache, from across a gallery in the Louvre. A man who introduced himself as John Raymond. And it didn't take me very long to realize that maybe, just maybe, he was the key to everything.

Book #3 in The Fire series BLAKE RIVERA "You're the leader of a gang." Aiden yells. I look up at him. "You don't think I know that?" I yell back. "I am doing everything I can to protect my people!" "Your people are being murdered. You're in a war you don't even know is happening." "I know what's going on out there. I know what's happening." "Then why aren't you doing anything to stop it?" I slam my hands on the desk and stand up. "I am doing everything I can!" I yell anger laced in my voice as it flowed through my veins. Suddenly the lights went out; a flashing red light comes on as alarms sound. "You need to do more." Aiden says. "Otherwise this. It's never going to stop." "They're attacking." I realize. "They're always attacking. And they're not going to stop until we're dead." "Or surrender." I mumble and Aidens head snaps up to look at me. "You won't. You can't." "No, what I can't do is kill Felix." "The man you loved isn't there anymore. Can't you see that? He's gone. A monster wears his skin. What's it going to take before you realize that?" I shake my head. "Evacuate. Make sure everyone gets out of here. No one dies today." "Well, someone should. And we both know who it needs to be." Aiden says before he leaves the room. I know Aiden is right, but I can't kill Felix, even if he keeps trying to kill me. I shake my head and sit back down. Just because everyone else was leaving didn't mean I had to also. Maybe I can talk some sense into him. I sigh. I've tried to already, but maybe this time it will be different. Maybe I should tell him the truth. Maybe I should tell him Nadia is his daughter. The door to my planning room is thrown open but I stay seated. I look up as men flood into the room, soon followed by Felix. His emotionless eyes find mine and he cocks his gun. "You should have run with the others."

"It's either that or they take your soul anyway along with your virginity, happiness, innocence, and everything that made you, you. They strip you until you're nothing but just a body to use." Iris words fill the room as she makes her way on the other side of Jade. "They break you." A girl with brown hair says softly and put eyes snap to her. "They may do every single disgusting you can imagine to you." I state looking in her eyes. "And they may have beat you to a point where you are unrecognizable." Iris chimes in.

Scared that someone will remember who she used to be. ~•~ Now I know I seem like a bitch, and your probably thinking I'm your stereotypical mean girl, but I wasn't always like this, back when high school first started. I had a best friend who I thought I would be friends with forever. I was shy and timid, and I was foolish enough to believe what people told me. Back then everyone knew me as Arora.

Fake Tales by NotOriginal1997

"I don't know what kind of girl you think I am Greg" I mumbled. I was not the kind of girl who slept with guys on a whim. I wanted him, but not enough to abandon all reason. He took a step toward me, ignored my narrowed eyes and wrapped his arms around me. I wriggled and tried to pull away, but he only held me tighter. His face was impossibly close to me, expression serene to my fury. I could feel him already, pressing into my stomach. Fear shot through me, but the anticipation was equal. "I know exactly what kind of girl you are Maddy... that's the problem" He said simply. His lips crashed into mine, tasting every inch of me. I wanted more than anything to pull away, leave and never mention this again.... but I couldn't do it. The feel of him naked, warm and muscular against me rendered me speechless. I couldn't explain it, but our bodies seemed to fit together somehow and the anger I'd felt just a minute ago. That firey anger at him invading my privacy was gradually merging with the previous lust from last night. Now all I felt was an all consuming need for him to touch me. ....................................................................... Maddy Reynolds' life is a mess. Her best friend's brother Greg has just died and her two best friends Mel and Dom aren't speaking to each other. She has no one to talk to about her confusing feelings towards Greg or why Mel is so distant. Then at the funeral, she becomes friends with Tom Winter by pure chance and he seems to be the only one who understands her. And yet.... even he is keeping secrets from her. The sort of secrets that have the power to change everything. Maddy now has to decide to trust him or find out the truth on her own. Things would have been a whole lot simpler if she'd chosen the latter.

As I was opening the door, a hand fell on mine, shutting it back. I could feel his presence behind me and I let out a shaky breathe. Then his face was next me. "Are you avoiding me?" He whispered. I quickly shook my head. _______________________________________ I stopped in my tracks when I saw who was sitting on his motorcycle waiting for me outside. I gasped. He looked up from his phone and grinned. "Y-you waited." He shrugged. "How else would you have gotten home. I wanted to make sure you were okay." "But your extra classes-" "Forget it, I was late anyway, princess." He took my hand to help me onto the bike. He sat down as well an I was already grabbing him tight. I can't let go of someone like him. ___________________________________________ "What?" I breathed out. I felt heated breaths on my face which startled me. Instantly, my eyes fell open. Quentin was gazing down at me... but not at me? How do I write this? It was like he was dazed a bit, staring down at something else attached to my face. And that 'something else' was very close to HIS 'something else'. I don't remember who pulled away faster, me or him.
