Country Dream [Completed ✅]
"What'cha looking at?" I asked, in a cheeky tone. "Uh.....nothing......you just look nicer, that's all...." Mattias muttered. I grinned smugly. That's right, Mattias - never judge people on their first appearance. Liz is on her way up to a swim carnival in the city when her family is forced to stay for a few days at a famers house. At first, she is rudely ignored by the two sons, and decides to ignore them back.... but then she finds herself falling for one of them. Does her really like her back? And in the end, is it worthwhile for her to get emotionally invested? Read on and find out! ⚠ Short Disclaimer⚠ I wrote this whole plot when I was about 15-16, so my age will be reflected in the writing style & quality of this story. This is written from a romanticised viewpoint of a teenage girl who was living in the country at the time. That's apparently where I was at this time in my emotional maturity (and yes, I may have known a boy a bit like Mattias). So, bear with me - you've been warned. Buckle up and jump on board if you're ready to enjoy a classic, cheesy country romance with a short plot twist!Complete

THERON (Book III In The Ancients Series) ✔
(Please read Theron 1 before moving on to this book) A stranger washes ashore on a deserted beach. With no memory of who or what he is, the only clue he has to his identity--the only thing he recalls from his past life--is a single, solitary name: Lina. But on a planet with over seven billion inhabitants, his only chance of finding her rests solely within the hands of Fate itself... and the help of a sassy, young street rat. A child's life hangs in the balance--a child whose blood is so unique it has the power to change the course of the future for one group of supernaturals in particular... and this group doesn't howl at the moon. For Lina and the other Ancients, a new war is brewing and in a very literal sense. This battle will not be fought with bullets and teeth like the massacre at Superlunar, but rather with magic and wit and maybe a little divine intervention. So, how do you fight an evil you can't touch? How do you stop a weapon you can't see? And how to you protect the ones you have no memory of loving? Easy! You have to remember what you don't know you knew... You have to remember who you are... You just have to remember. ⚠️ This story is marked "Mature" for a reason.

Undertow by K.R. Conway (1st book in trilogy)
** BARNES AND NOBLE TEEN SELECTION 2015 - TOP 7 YA's THAT WILL LEAVE YOU TERRIFIED OF THE OCEAN ** "Dawson's Creek meets Jaws and The Goonies in a twisted, supernatural tale unlike anything I've ever read. I am totally addicted!" - ARC reviewer SUMMARY: Eila Walker knows luck is not a friend, so she is downright shocked to inherit a million-dollar Cape Cod home. And yeah, her new town isn't perfect: the cheerleaders are heinous clones, the local undertow can kill ya, and her Great Grams was supposedly fried by lightning in the harbor square. Still, Eila is hopeful her luckless days are in the past . . . until history decides to repeat itself. When Raef O'Reilly becomes her friendly, yet weirdly protective shadow, Eila thinks life is pretty darn perfect - until she is hauled beneath the waves by an unnatural undertow. Revealing coal-black eyes and iron-like strength as he rescues her, Raef can no longer hide what he is . . . or what she can do. Eila, last of her kind, can supposedly channel the power of human souls, while Raef is more adept at stealing them. Even worse, the legend about her ancestor isn't such a myth, since Eila's grandmother was one kick-butt warrior until her lightning-like power backfired. A power that is written all over Eila's DNA. Determined to stay one step ahead of a dangerous clan that is hunting her, Raef, along with three unlikely allies, will do all they can to protect her. But as hidden pieces of their brutal histories unravel, Eila begins to understand just what went down in the harbor square. She soon realizes that following in her grandmother's fearless footsteps may be the only way to save those she loves . . . including Raef.Complete

Her Mate - Olivia (The Gray Wolves Series #1)
Suddenly, I feel a hand that intertwines mine. The touch is warm but still not enough to comfort me after the news I've just got. I feel someone is leading me out of the office. Nothing is really clear to me. I barely see my parents, Julie and Eli's face as the hand keeps on pulling me away from them. No more links with Elijah. I don't know if I closed my mind or if he did. But I can't feel him anymore. My feet follow the lead. I raise my head and I see that the Prince is calmly leading me to the stairs. Before we start to climb the stairs, I feel a hand on my lower back while the other is still intertwined with mine. The Prince looks at me and no emotions can be read on his face.
