fate (n). the will or principle or determining cause by which things in general are believed to come to be 

                                                ~~~

When Penelope "Cassie" Walters agrees to attend her best friend, Alaira Gray's, crazy weekend party to help clean up afterwards, she prepares herself for the shady crowd from school that is bound to come. She plans to curl up in the corner with a book and hope that no one notices her.

Then, she runs into British transfer Holland Marks in a meeting conjured by fate.

                                                   ***

Holland Marks never would have pictured himself as one for parties. When one of his friends, Carter MacDonald, invites him to a popular cheerleader's end-of-summer party, he declines instantly. However, when he finds himself with a free schedule that evening, he decides to go to be Carter's sober driver.

There, he encounters smart girl Cassie Walters in a turn of events so twisted that only fate could have predicted it.

                                                ***

Both Holland and Cassie end up at Alaira's party through such a set of circumstances that only fate seems to be the answer to. Unfortunately, this meeting also results in a tragedy beyond anything the two could imagine.

Will fate be enough to hold them together?

Or was their relationship doomed from the start?

A musically talented teen with her sights set on the spotlight must find a way to get her life back when she falls in with the mob. ***** In a city where con artists make the rules and aspiring females wear sequins and dance with a pole, Melody Holiday refuses to ride on the coattails of her semi-famous grandfather. She wants the freedom to choose her own path to showbiz greatness. When a chance meeting with a handsome stranger provides Mel with an opportunity, she thinks she's landed the big one. But her grandpa isn't thrilled with the direction Mel's career is going, and it's not until she stumbles across something she probably shouldn't have that this becomes clear. Perhaps meeting the stranger with the Rocky Balboa eyes wasn't by chance. Maybe Mel is rubbing elbows with the kind of people who could take away her freedom for good. This story is loosely based on the author's feral youth. So, if you like your fiction shaken not stirred with a sprinkle of badboy on the rim, NEON GIRL delivers the goods; giving readers a dose of drama, a dash of romance, and a heaping helping of Las Vegas schmaltz. Oh, and there's a killer playlist, too. WATTYS WINNER! LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction and owned by the author.
