"To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose..." or something like that.
Jade was everything to Leana. Her strength, her voice of reason, her confidant. She was whisked away one fateful night, held at the hands of a wet road, hydroplaned tires, and a disheveled boy. Leana is tragically left to navigate her summer before college all alone.
Well, maybe not all alone... but it'll take an absurd amount of hangovers, a couple of cats, a stolen motorcycle, and every single stage of grief doubled for her to finally realize it.
No one is ever truly alone.
Especially not when Jade Birks was your former best friend. Even after death, Jade still finds ways to show Leana she is worthy of love.
Sometimes, that love comes from the most unexpected places. Or unexpected people. Or both.
This is their story.

Assassins don't cry
{Re-written version} Jade isn't just a good assassin-she's the best. She's seen it all, done it all and doesn't get rattled easily Except when she's told she has to kill the most feared mob boss of the century- Silas Andreeva But what she doesn't know is that this is all a ploy for Silas to test Jade's capabilities. But it isn't just about a test, is it?-it's personal. Silas isn't just looking for a killer; he's drawn to her specifically. It starts with respect-admiration for her skill, the way she doesn't flinch under pressure. But then? It gets messy. Once recruited, a dangerous tension builds. Every conversation, every moment is a push and pull between an assassin and the man who should be her target. Jade and Silas are equals. She's the best assassin out there, and he's the kind of man crazy enough to invite his death just to see if she's worth his time. Neither of them fully trusts the other... but that just makes things hotter. "Am I falling for him, or is this just another game?" "Did I set this up to test her... or because I wanted to keep her close?" They should be enemies. They should walk away. But neither of them does. Because deep down, they know-this is the most fun they've had in a long time. This is the kind of love story that simmers-slow burns with tension so thick it's practically crackling. Every interaction is a game of cat and mouse, but neither of them is sure **who's who. And the best part? They both know it's dangerous. They just don't care.Complete

His Sunshine | ✓
She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
