*Ongoing--on hold for now as I am currently writing a different book (March 2024)*

ONLY AVAILABLE TO READ ON WATTPAD

Norman Ackerman is a "writer" who doesn't write. He's obtuse and stuck in his ways, all the while being a total sleaze. Periodically, he investigates compelling and sometimes notorious situations. He stalks people's lives and invades their privacy. What he gathers is what he hands over to his ghostwriter. He's not afraid to get his hands filthy, so picking faults with another's fate is his frequent chore. Even if he has to shadow numerous people for weeks on end, there is no stopping him until he finds his bestselling ending.

Due to a financial deficit, Norman prompts to hit the streets for his next work of chaos. A dainty yet cryptic woman stands out in the masses, and it takes no time at all for Norman to fall behind her heels.

Lux Beck, an independent artist, has been on the road for the entirety of her life. One could say she's lost, though she clearly enjoys the changes in her surroundings. She's a pure soul--sweet, courteous, and a friend to anyone in need. From afar, her kindness leaves Norman perplexed. He figured she'd be holding up her middle fingers and cursing the world, because how could any other person give their life to the road, the world? She wears freedom admirably.

When an anguished driver puts Lux's life in danger, Norman breaks his single rule. He timidly steps out of the dark to save her. Without questioning his intentions, Lux welcomes him on the journey he had been documenting for his upcoming novel. She looks at Norman with wonderment in her eyes, slowly awakening his conscience. His love for her will defeat his weakness for fortune--or everything will fall apart as he watches her walk away for good.

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.

"Are you jealous when I flirt with those men for information?" I bat my eyes up at him innocently as I pull his pants down to his knees. His face hardens as he considers my question. "I don't like your hands on them." He grumbles and I smirk. I already knew the answer. "I do it for you, Enzo." I remind him as I move my mouth closer to him. "Only me." He growls as he pulls my head forward, closing the space between us. ~~~ When a dangerous mafia leader meets this particular stripper, he learns she is anything but.

He doesn't say anything and I don't hear her. I start to panic. "Nothing, yet." "If you touch her-" "What Luke?!" He cuts me off. I bite my lip and pass my hand through my hair. "What could you possibly do to me that you haven't already done?!" My eyes starts to water. This lunatic would hurt her and I knew he would. "I beg you," I tell him. "I'll do anything you want. Just leave her be. I'll meet you wherever you want. Take me, please, just leave her out of this." I hear Jasmen crying. "See, but where would all the fun be in that?
