There are two types when it comes to people.
There is the yin, the yang; the thick, the thin; the wrong, the right; the dark and the light.
There is Amelie Jones, quintessence of popularity, the 'has it all' and Cassey Williams, eccentric loner, the 'cast away freak'.
There is Malcolm Reed, the rich kid with a colourful past, and Kamila Iskandar, the sweet foreigner with a dark past of her own.
When their paths cross, the course of their lives change and they discover something about how people are not always what you think they are.
After all isn't that the very essence of the yin and the yang? There is light in the dark and darkness in the light. You just have to be willing to stick around to find it.

Darling, Come Water the Flowers Vol. 1
"Having sex won't make me less mad at you," I reprimanded, knowing it didn't matter what I said because I wanted nothing more than for him to make love to me. I wanted to feel his hands in my hair, against my arms and legs, down my hips, the inside of my thighs, gently around my throat, toying with my lips. I needed him to understand and see every inch of my body and then to still crave it. I needed this to go right for once, just to prove to myself the first time wasn't how it's always going to be. "True," He murmured against my ear, sucking a tender spot on my neck, lapping at it as my arms circled his head, pulling at the brunette strands of hair. "But it'll make you appreciate me more." __________________________________ 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 was raised from the ground up knowing nothing but comparison and perfection.

Save Me
Erika Kingsley fits the stereotype: blonde hair, blue eyes, rich dad. In definition: the spoiled blonde brat. But she isn't. The real her wants to be accepted, but can she in a very judgemental, ignorant world? Her family is portrayed as perfect in the media, but behind the camera, Erika is a completely different story. She's grown up in the facade of perfection and happiness. She may seem happy, but she yearns for something to save her from the battle she has with herself in her own mind. Lucas Perry fits the other stereotype: invisible, loner, smart, middle-class. In definition: the dejected loser of the social ladder. However, there is more to this new kid and why he puts on a 'I'm smarter than all of you' façade. As they say, a lack of confidence and happiness can manifest itself into arrogance and some serious irritation. As the stereotype goes, two worlds collide. But soon after, they find the other to be the same. Two people who need someone; someone to pull them away from the inner demons that hold them hostage. They both needed to be saved from their most challenging force: themselves. *TRIGGER WARNING:READ AT YOUR OWN RISK* This book contains serious topics such as anxiety, panic attacks, disability, addictive substances, depression, mental illness, self-harm, and suicide.Complete
