"A nobleman by day, a drunken man wallowing in his own anguish by night."
-----
Elijah has been putting on a facade to the public for so many years yet, there is only so much a man could take before he breaks.
He looked calm, poise and some would even say noble but behind that was a pessimistic mind, struggling to find the light that did not want to be found. All he wishes was to be able to dwell on the relentless guilt that had been stuck within him for years. Dragging him down further into the abyss which he has now grown somewhat accustomed to.
Alcohol was the sole item that he has been desperately clingy onto in order to preserve whatever small mental stability he has left in him. No. He is not an addict. He does not engage in alcohol for the purpose of the desire of a certain emotion. He is just a man trying to fight his own demons that are growing stronger each day. He just approaches them differently from other men.
Can't just someone wake him up from this neverending, horrific nightmare?

Sex, drugs and the death-dealing pressure to make money night after night - It's a steep, downward spiral which 20-year-old Elijah Everdeen has found himself stuck in ever since his parents died. If it weren't for his two siblings, he would have given up years ago. For a long time, he wanted to, thought about it every day even. Sometimes - in the cruelest, darkest of nights - he still does. But if this black-and-white world has really become Elijah's grim reality, then why is this young, mysterious man capable of adding color and a heartbeat to this dreadfully achromatic still life Eli is trapped in?

Ignitable
Sophia is sat in a bar with only a large glass of wine for company, quietly nursing a broken heart. When a charismatic stranger approaches her, he's not only confidently funny, smart and intriguing... he's undeniably attractive. That night, for the first time in a very long while, Sophia feels womanly and wanted. This mysterious stranger not only makes her laugh, he ignites something within the very unwanted parts of herself. He ignites something that makes her willingly want to go against all that she thinks she is. ~ Cade Lapley is a ruthless barrister: equally so in his personal life. He is suave, sophisticated and wealthy, with emotional baggage almost as big as his oversized ego. When he meets the just dumped, Sophia Hale, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her. He is feeling something, and Cade Lapley just doesn't do feelings of any kind. Yet somehow, this lost-looking woman ignites something within him; a place that has been dark and uncaring ever since he was a little boy. He knows he is playing with an emotional fire, and will more than likely only get his fingers badly burnt. Yet still, Cade finds himself unable to leave this woman alone. He knows he should. Not only for Sophia's sake, but more selfishly for his. Only, he can't. One man. One woman. Together....

The Expansion of the Universe {Completed}
"My name's Elijah, by the way. It's nice to meet you, window-girl." She liked that name: Elijah. "I doubt you're even listening, but, look, I'm not here to cause problems, you know? I'm just here to chat. It can get lonely when we segregate ourselves into our own little world. I mean, maybe you like it in there," he continued, as she stared at the door separating them, "but, in case you don't, I'd like to offer my company." Instead of panicking, Liza could only focus on four words he'd said. 'Our own little world.' How had he known? She was in her own little world, consisting of her, her dog, the condo, and now, maybe . . .? Her voice was barely a croak when she spoke to him for the first time. "I'm listening." ***β A horribly tragedy left Liza Garner tucked inside her condo, the only safe place she knew, terrified of the outside world and the people within it. Especially men. A change in living brought Elijah Harris into a nice new neighborhood, and he'd never been afraid of knocking on others' doors and introducing himself. Especially if a pretty woman was on the other side. This is a story about mental health, the amazing impact certain individuals can have on one's personal journey, and how making progress-no matter how seemingly insignificant-is always impressive. *** PLEASE NOTE: Rated mature for language, topics, and detailed descriptions of gore.

Yours, Forever
She was his motivation. Madison Connor, the only woman he had ever loved, the woman he had hurt, the woman he had left. Billionaire Damien Daniels had three things he needed to accomplish in his life. First, he was going to get to the root of his past. Second, he was going to make the Connors pay. Third, the last thing, he didn't even know. But he knew there was something remaining, a wrong he needed to right. And it was staring straight at him. A dark truth that risked breaking him apart, that could mar his existence. In all these though she was at the center of it all, Madison Connor. Lord help him. She was the one thing he could never have. His enemy's little sister. Eyes like the sea, strawberry blonde curls and those dotted freckles atop her nose; she was his obsession. She was the beginning of his downfall, his damnation and motivation. *** He was the one man she couldn't avoid back then, and the man she couldn't resist. Damien Daniel, her childhood crush who never looked her way even once. Her brother's enemy. She was too small for him, not sexy or beautiful enough for him, too shy to even talk to him. Their attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as she ached to be his, she feared the pressure of his demands. *** Submitting to each other meant they had to break so many rules. Could they? Would they? Their love was forbidden. Their intertwining past threatening to tear them apart. A bumpy ride. So many obstacles and trials. It took days, months and years, but what's meant to be will always be!
