At 18 years old, Lily has already lived through years of hell.

She wakes up every night suffering from nightmares and endures sleep paralysis regularly. Living her life shrouded in darkness, she is under the protection of a government agency but she never truly feels safe. 

When her minder Ollie tells her that Utah, their newest residency, will be better, she doesn't believe him. So, as usual, she does everything in her power to blend in, but on her first day of school, she catches the attention of a green eyed stranger. Alex.

Lily may hold a tough exterior, but on the inside she lives in fear. Alex is drawn in by her pure innocence and vulnerability. As a fighter and owner of the best defence gym in Utah, Alex will do what he can to protect Lily from anyone that threatens her safety, but also from loosing herself to the demons in her own head. 

Lily doesn't just let anyone behind her thick walls though. 

What will happen when Alex finds out that Lily isn't just another shy teenage girl? And will he really be able to help her fight the darkness?

Fighter {Completed} by bnpreston023

The world has chewed up and spit out Eleanor Robinson again and again. It began with her parents, one taken by a tragedy, one addicted to horrific drugs, and a brother who's too boozed out to know if she's alive or dead. Alone in the world, Ellie isn't exactly sure of how life works, of how anything works, really. The only two people she has that even remotely understand are Sebastian and Scarlett, a pair of siblings that remind her so much of her own family, it's hard to be around them sometimes. When the trio finally move in together after being friends for almost three years, they end up closer than ever. But the move brings along another problem into Ellie's life. Cole Everett is a fighter. From the moment he was cast aside by his family, he's had to fight for scraps at the orphanage dinner table, fight for a spot in the light of his foster family's eyes, and fight for the love of his adoptive parents. It seemed like he never won when it came to personal battles, but in the ring... In the ring, he owned the world. Years and years of the world kicking Cole's ass has shaped him into the fighter Ellie and everyone else sees him as. But the world has also shaped Ellie, and the sweet, heavy-hearted girl paints on a façade that seems only Cole can break through. As the pair attempt to navigate a decent enough relationship to be in the same room as one another without going for the throat, the people around them float between blurred lines of friend or foe. Hearts clash, past enemies arise, and the pair's hearts hang in the balance of it all.
