Being Salena is not easy.
Making her someone who would rather avoid the problems then face it, an imposing, arrogant man doesn't make it any better. Plus, he always seems to be trying to get under her skin both literally and metaphorically.
With her past holding her down, would she be able to create her future in the present?

His Sanity, Her Sin
They say he's beyond saving-cold, unhinged, a monster in human skin. Locked away in Ravenson Asylum, 𝙆𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙣 𝙃𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙨 has spent years in the dark, his mind sharpened into a weapon, his heart a thing of the past. Emotionless. Calculating. Predatory. The world believes it owns him, that he'll die behind these walls. But he knows better. He's been waiting. Watching. And now, it's time to escape. The night before his execution, he offers her a choice. "Come with me, or stay behind. But if you stay, you'll never see me again." 𝘼𝙣𝙖𝙮𝙖 𝙈𝙚𝙝𝙩𝙖 should say no. Should run. Should turn her back on the man who watches her like she's his next breath, who speaks in a voice that slips under her skin like a promise. But she doesn't. She's spent too long studying the wreckage of his mind, tracing the scars he doesn't let the world see. There's something inside him- something human, something hers. And maybe she's just as mad as they say he is, because she takes his hand... and never looks back. A stolen ship. A week at sea. A secluded island where the rest of the world doesn't exist. Here, he is no longer their prisoner-but he's still not free. His past is hunting him, and if he doesn't kill the ghosts that haunt him, they will destroy them both. But the real danger isn't the blood on his hands. It's what happens when he finally lets himself feel. Because she's his now. And Kieran Hayes does not know how to love without obsession, without destruction, without ruin. She saved him once. But can she save herself from him? ____________________

"You were worried about me, Specs?" He smirked. "No, Tyler. I hoped that someone cut up your corpse and fed it to paranas. Obviously I was, you idiot! I'm a doctor. Worrying about people is kind of programmed into my system. It's a curse if you ask me," I surprised myself a lot more than I thought was possible with my answer. And what did he do? Laugh! He fucking laughed! Not full on rolling- on- the- floor laughter but a laugh nonetheless. "This isn't funny, Tyler." "It kind of is. Almost a month ago, I would've sworn that you hated me. Be careful, Specs," he squinted down at me, "or you might actually sound as if you like me." I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself. I was concerned. Don't confuse that with affection. It's two very, very different things." *** When you think that all is not lost in the world. That not all men are pricks and that not all sushi is bad. When you think that there is a light, no matter how dim, at the end of the tunnel. When you think that life isn't the ruthless bitch you've always thought it was... It turns around and bites you in the ass. When you think that the past will always and forever remain where it should be... It comes at you from every direction. Like a violent tsunami destroying everything...and everyone in it's path. Can you change what happened? I wish. Can you stop what's going to happen? God! I really hope so.Complete

The Best Kept Secret!
They say what's in the past keep it in the past but I wanted to know all about my past. It was things that I didn't know and that I wanted and needed to know! But my life turned upside down when my past is exactly what I should have left alone. Now if you ask me how it all began, I don't exactly remember but I know it started when I moved in with my grandma who I haven't met in all my twenty years of living. I have been in and out of foster homes since I can remember, living with families I knew nothing about. Being the outcast and them constantly asking me what's wrong because I simply did not speak. The only thing that kept me sane was my good grades throughout school. I got the satisfaction of doing the one thing that people kept telling me over and over I couldn't do. I stayed to myself and graduated high school with honors, getting a full-ride scholarship to any college of my choice. Of course, by having this accomplishment, it didn't make it any easier for me between my foster families. To them, I became the girl who was better than them. But I didn't care because when I turned twenty I finally got to start making my own choices. This is where I wonder if the first choice I made was the right one. The first choice I made was to go live off-campus with my grandmother during my first semester in college. I ask myself how could I be so stupid? But you will see just how stupid I was. Or was I?Complete
