December twenty fifth is usually associated with joy, happiness, laughter, basically everything that makes you cry tears of joy. When your Christmas arrives, you'd probably wake up and run to your parents shouting, "Santa came! Santa was here!" And then you go to open the gifts under the Christmas tree. It usually a good for everyone. It's supposed to be one of the most favored days of the year. But then they came. An entire army of them. They ravaged through the entire world, murdering people into the billions. They tortured millions more just for fun. They'll take you and set you into devices that'll slowly rip you apart. And they laugh at such violence like its the Comedy Central Roast. Freedom and happiness are things you would have had, but now, just consider them a memory. Or a lost cause. But some of us haven't given up. Some of us want to fight back. By some, I mean me, Alexander Ghresheild.

It Started With A Kiss (Completed)
It's official. I'm a High School graduate and a soon to be College Student! Finally going to get out of my parents house and off on my own. Well.. They wouldn't let me get my own apartment or live in the dorms until my Sophomore year. They assume it will make me go wild and crazy. Talk about trust.. So we made a compromise. I would move in with my older brother and his roommate. At least until my Sophomore year. Did I mention his roommate is my brother's best friend and that I used to have a major crush on him growing up? They attend the college across from mine. Surely I could survive a year living with my brother and his roommate. Even if his roommate is an Adonis and constantly flirting with me. Follow me as I embark on a journey of finding myself, friendships, heated encounters, secret relationships, and so much more.Complete
Bombshells ~ Complete
Here's a bombshell for you: I have eight brothers. Eight extremely attractive, smart, mischievous, crazy overprotective brothers. Well, step brothers. Trust me when I say that it didn't start out that way, with me having eight step brothers. My father got remarried when I was sixteen. Another bombshell for you: I had no clue that the marriage was happening until about three months before, and I only found out because we were moving from Texas to New York in a week. Yeah, my father wasn't huge on the whole 'sharing' thing. But, that's not what you opened up this book to read, now is it? Well, I should probably start telling you the legitimate start of the story. (Heads up here, guys. This book is about abuse and will have occasional swearing in it. Okay, that's my warning. Have a nice day!)Complete
20 Questions
She had amazing parents, good role models, a normal, happy childhood, and dreams of saving the world...until an ugly twist of fate changed everything. She wasn't meant to lose her best friend to addiction. Holidays with the family were supposed to be magical, not obligatory. Every song, every building, every street had a memory attached to it...memories that weren't supposed to sever her heart. This wasn't the life she envisioned growing up. In desperate need of rest, relaxation and self-discovery, Jenna loaded a plane, destined for Aspen. She was going to salvage the girl she lost along the way. She'd find that fire inside of her that had been extinguished by heartache. Hunter had lived a hard life - abused, neglected, discarded and hardened. There were no bedtime stories growing up with loving parents, no family vacations, nothing to be excited about and nothing to live for. With his revenge-seeking father's upcoming prison release hanging above his head, Hunter knew his days were limited and he had accepted it. He wasn't looking ahead, not for happiness or love anyway. Until he saw her. Fate had brought them together. Passion consumed them. She brought the sass and he brought the danger. He began to see a life with her that he didn't believe he deserved. She found her purpose - heal him, love him, give him the gift of family and unconditional love. They went to Aspen in search of peace and an escape from the hometown heartache...but they found love along the way. 20 Questions is a story of unbreakable love, redemption, and overcoming tragedy. It's about blocking out the corruption in the world so you can see the virtuous. It's a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud tale of how love can keep us together when the world is viciously trying to pull us part. Love wins. It always wins.Complete
Is This The End?
I had been living in this dystopian universe my whole life. We lived simple, meaningless lives. I wasn't sad, merely dissatisfied. No one here was ever sad. The Center, which was our government, forced us to take a pill every morning to make sure we were always happy and healthy. For most of our lives we lived at home with our odd families that the government stuck us into as babies. Usually five children were put into each household. We grew up together in a single house, raised and taught by a robot even though none of us were related. We lived at home with limitless entertainment in the form of advanced technologies. We had one day of the week for shopping, one day for going out and one day for labor. On labor days we were assigned a job and had to complete it in order to gain money for the week. Everyone got the same amount no matter the job. If you didn't show up for these jobs there were grave consequences. The Center often used torture as a method of punishment, or so we were told. No one close to me had ever actually been punished by The Center though. It was incredibly rare. Most of us lived our lives as good little pawns doing nothing more than eating, sleeping and entertaining ourselves. But one day, my regular boring life changed...Complete

Holly Garland on Santa's Lap [COMPLETE]
Once upon a time, I was your typical good girl, doing my job like a total elf star, no complaints. Even with the little "gift" I was born with (aka my disability), I handled life pretty well. But let me tell you, luck's never been my plus-one. What am I talking about? Oh, just my lovely name-and the Christmas curse that comes with it! Every year, without fail, while my family's out decking the halls, I'm over here getting snowed under with the worst disasters. So, yeah, all I want for Christmas is for this nightmare of a season to be over. But this year? Oh, I've really hit the Christmas tree topper. Ever since I plopped myself down on Santa's lap at my office party and made a special wish, it's been one yule disaster after another! And now, I'm stuck in this sleigh ride from hell with that red-suited nightmare, forced to follow him wherever he jingles. Sure, he might be a total angel under that fake beard-mysterious and all-but I'm not about to let myself get wrapped up like some Christmas present under the tree. My brain's still in one piece, thanks. So, seriously, sweet baby Jesus, how did a nice executive assistant like me end up sleighing through this wild holiday misadventure full of danger, romance, and all the holly jolly chaos of Christmas?!Complete
