Helen, or Lennie as she prefers, Monty has good idea of where she's heading. At the end of the summer after her senior year, she's heading to South Carolina University. With high hopes of leaving behind the horse racing capitol of the world, Lexington, Kentucky. With only two months of her school year left, she cuts herself off from her last boyfriend without even a second glance. Lennie learned the hard way that people leave.

In the middle of her freshman year of high school, her mother was killed in a freak horse-related accident. Leaving Lennie with her dad, who fell apart after she died. Lennie learned to be self-dependant and cut the part out of her that had anything to do with horses. She didn't want to let anything like that ever to happen to her again.

On her way home from another boring day of school, her car overheats and leaves her stranded in the middle of a mostly deserted road. She finds help from Brandon a graduate from her school that was two years ahead of her. And Brandon holds one of the last links to Lennie's horse days.

The daughter of her mother's blue ribbon jumper.

"Ava, you have to be quiet! They'll hear you-" Tears started to spill from my eyes, blending in with the rain that dripped down my face. I shouldn't have come here. The last time I followed someone I made accidentally noise and got them killed. I had to get away from Jaxon. I turned on my heel, ready to run to, but Jaxon grabbed my wrist. "Let go" I choked, "I have to leave. You're in danger-" The next thing I knew, his lips crashed onto mine. His arms wrapped around my body, pulling tightly to his chest. "Stop it" I sobbed, unable to control my trembling. "Why are you doing this? Let me go-" "I had to get you quiet" he murmured. "Please Ava. You have to try to calm down. I understand you're scared right now, but you have to trust me. We're going to get home safely. Stay with me a few more minutes, and then we'll get the f*ck out of here. I promise." -- A little about Ava: She has made the long move from Detroit, Michigan to California to escape her gruesome past. She moves in with her older sister, and is ready to start her junior year of high school. Despite the demons she carries, she holds onto hope for a bright future. A little about Jaxon: he's 17, and Oceanview High's resident bad boy. He comes from the Marvel family, a family of cold-hearted millionaires who don't seem to care much about their kids. He's also got a secret only few know, he's a dangerous member, and street racer, for the L.A. gang: Crimson Blaze. -- Achievements: #1 in streetracing #1 in teenromance #2 im highschool #3 in drama Hey all!

Fifteen-year-old Kaylin Podmore has a pretty great life, basically everything a teenager living in Lexington, Kentucky could ever dream of. Her parents own one of the most successful Thoroughbred racehorse operations in the country and she has three of the best friends any girl could have, especially as her freshman year of high school starts to come to an end. She catches the eye of Lucas Mitchell, a sophomore starting quarterback for her school's varsity football team. As they learn about one another and grow closer, a potential serious relationship starts to grow between them, but her ex-boyfriend Jesse Landford, her older sister Kimberly and Lucas's ex-girlfriend, Nichole Young, are determined to try to keep them from getting together for different reasons. Kaylin knows Nichole is a stuck up spoiled rich girl, and she doesn't believe a word that Nichole says about her and Lucas, but her sister's another story. She and Kim know their dad isn't exactly keen on either of his daughters dating so it causes problems in-between them after Kim shares the news with their dad about her and Lucas's budding relationship. Other than their friends, the only people who seem to like the idea of Kaylin and Lucas potentially getting together are her mom and his family, who're all being supportive because they know each other from their kids going to school together and being in the same business, even if they're competitors. Her mom often has to settle disputes in-between her and her dad but that doesn't mean her dad is going to stop being negative about Kaylin's growing relationship with Lucas. Kaylin is set on finishing out the year, hopefully with Lucas as her boyfriend despite the trouble it is causing in her life to have a great summer with her friends and watching her favorite horse, Faith's Magic, start her racing career.

"I already killed your mother, Cam." As the words left my enemy's mouth like a mocking sneer, I growled under my breath at the mention of my old name. Memories started to boil up that I had been wanting to squash deep into my heart. Bad memories. "As you can guess, I'm here to finish the job." He continued with that ever-present sinister smirk on his face. And in that moment, a sudden burst of confidence just appeared within me. Or blatant stupidity. 'I'll take either one.' I silently admitted to myself. I rolled my eyes at his so-called 'threat', not really intimidated in the least. "Yeah, like that went so well the first time. The first time, you fucked up enough to get caught by the police." I pointed out. "The second time, your grown-ass men got their asses handed to them by two teenagers." I snorted at him. "Your odds aren't looking too good here, Berti." ~•~ Losing her father? Lovely. Getting in a car accident with her aunt, uncle, and cousin and being the sole survivor? Fantastic. Losing her mother because a deranged psychopath holds a grudge even better than The Grinch? Amazing. Being ostracized from her own family save from her paternal grandparents, and getting the blame for her mother's death? Cherry on top of the cake. Having to make sure three idiotic twats don't get themselves killed because they couldn't mind their own bloody business? Bloody hell, that's an entire ice cream cake with ten pounds of gummy bears. ~•~ Join Grace Stanton as she faces her demons and the demons of her past all while trying not to commit murder against her three new friends. Fun times. (First book in the Gilded series) ~•~ [#1 Streetracer - 4/21/21] [#1 Gangs - 9/16/21] [#1 Boxer - 9/12/21] [#1 Fighter - 12/11/21] [#2 Boxing - 9/3/21] [#1 Girlpower - 2/12/21]

Braxton University is located in a small, eery town that earned the name "Deathtown" because every year a freshman in college comes up missing or dies in their spring semester. Imani, Eugenie, Deasha, and Phoebe are as close as friends can be. Before they graduated high school they made a pact to always stay together and remain best friends. But after a secret and anonymous person referred to as "THEM" threatens to make their dirty little secrets come to light, they start to question everything. THEM forces the four girls to make tough decisions, throw each other under the bus and do the unthinkable in order to keep their secrets from coming to the light. ---------------------- "So you are really going to choose her over me?" Phoebe says with hurt laced in her voice and shown in her eyes. "WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO THINK?!" I shouted to the top of my lungs. The warehouse was amplifying our voices and making even the smallest sound loud. "It's your dam scrunchie left by the body!You killed her! Just admit!" "This has nothing to do with me!" Phoebe nodded her head with tears in her eyes. "I don't even have any secrets! I was just trying to protect your asses!" "Which makes you the perfect candidate for THEM, doesn't it?" Deasha made a fair point, looking at her with raised eyebrows. "You have nothing to lose, nothing to hide. THEM hasn't made you do anything, you are always there and you always know what the hell is going on. It sounds like you are the one who we should be cautious of!" Phoebe looked at me like I betrayed her. But I couldn't help to genuinely believe what Dee was saying. Even Eugenie seemed to believe it. She just didn't say it aloud, but her face told the story. The only person who hasn't been affected by this is Phoebe. -------------------- This story was inspired from the tv and book series "Pretty Little Liars."
