Della Carper had a relatively nice life once upon a time ago, only normal things to bother her. Average trials and tribulations.
Until both her parents were murdered by something nobody could ever explain to her. They say it was a crazed serial killer with a buzz saw - They say there's nothing else to say about it.
Done. Over. Finished. Let it go -
They were dead.
So they pawn her off to the only living relative she has left, a vial tempered, foul mouthed, drunkard of an uncle that no one would look twice at because he has money overflowing his wallet and anyone of importance on his keyring.
So she's stuck, alone and miserable.
A walking corpse waiting for something to bring her back to life -
~~~~~~~~~
Wikerhaven was one of those sleepy little towns stuck in time where everyone knew generations of everyone else. Where nothing is secret for long. Where the most exciting thing to happen is an occasional house fire or a festival.
Varian Montresor didn't want to come back here. But after years of running from his past he finally decides the best place to cut it off is to go back to the place where everything started. Just so he can finally breathe and loose the main problem in his life.
Besides, there was something about this town - something that, no matter where the people born in it tried to go - no matter how amazing a life they find anywhere else - they always come back. It always calls them back.
So he goes back.
Trouble is - so does his problem.
All six-foot-two of it.

Free on Wattpad. ********** A GOOD MAN, FALLING APART Small town police officer Simon Labelle repressed his attraction to sexy shopgirl Leona Chaisty for years. He's good at controlling his feelings--or he used to be, before the bombing that he can't solve, that he should have prevented. Now, after a chance encounter with Leona at the lake, Simon can't get her out of his head. All those high school fantasies roar to life. A BAD GIRL, WISHING FOR MORE Leona is drawn to the intensity in Simon's pretty-boy blue eyes, but he's a good man, and she's not just hopelessly kinky--she'll never know how to love. Still, unlike everyone else, Simon acts like she might actually have a heart. The more time they spend together, the more she wishes he were right. A CHALLENGE NEITHER CAN RESIST After a second unsolved case pulls them together, their sexual chemistry rattles them both, and hints at an unsettling fetish that Simon struggles to suppress. Leona pushes Simon to decide what he wants--whether to dominate, submit, or some mix of both--while Simon, already falling for his dream girl, finally gets her to admit that she's lonely. Each challenges the other to reveal more, to cede control, to be vulnerable. But they're both more fragile than they appear. It's only a matter of time before one pushes too hard, and the other breaks. ********** Trigger warnings for depression, suicidal ideation, and possibly alcoholism. Significant child abuse (neglect only) is also part of a character's backstory. There is gender-bending, femdom, and a pretty scary control-based fetish. There is also off-screen violence and death, and mild on-screen violence.Complete
The Resident
Janel survived abuse and neglect as a child at the hands of her adoptive parents. When they died, she lived in the woods, just trying to survive day to day. When she was found, she was stuck in the government system and forgotten in a group home, because no one thought she was normal. She was mostly mute, and she refused to touch anyone or be touched by anyone, because the only touch she'd ever known, was painful. One day Ian Sheer, a singer/songwriter notices her and her strange ways of trying to connect with humans. He befriends her and quickly finds himself falling for her. But how can they have a relationship if she can't even hold his hand? Hug him? Be hugged by him? Kiss? Be intimate in any fashion? She desperately wants to overcome her fear of human touch, and be "normal" and love Ian for as long as he will stay with her. Everyone leaves her eventually, after all... ***THERE IS LOTS OF GRAPHIC SEX IN THIS STORY, I WARNED YOU. THERE IS SOME ROUGH SEX. EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF RAPE FANTASY. I DOUBLE WARNED YOU!

Those damn giggles... my oxygen. "Then I'll hold your collar and drag you down with me," she fires back, eyes daring me to move. I lean in, my breath brushing her ear. "Hmm, I've got better plans for you grabbing me by the collar, bella." Her eyes flicker - surprise, heat - before she smirks. "Sure, honey. Be good, and I might give you a treat." Her hand slips into my hair, tugging just enough to test me. I narrow my eyes, a low chuckle rumbling in my chest. "Oh, so that's how it is? You just turned my fantasy into a pet-owner game." Smart girl. I grin. Real smaComplete

Once upon a time, there lived a poor little girl in the dirty streets of the human world. With her parents gone and her having to survive alone, she became strong and stiff. As the little girl grew older, she learned dark secret of heart-break, forever sealing her heart in a wall of steel. From that day forward she decided never to want to love again. With her heart set, she became one of the best thieves around, cold-hearted and smart. She went by the code name "Nightstrike". Nobody knew who this thief was, or how to stop them. She was as fast as lightning and left without a trace when morning came. However, one day she was finally caged. Her jail was those crystal green eyes and light blonde hair. With one flash of that dazzling smile she bowed down, her steel heart broken by the man. The man was captivated by this poor little thief and his heart fell for her. The two ran off together, never wanting to stop staring into each other's love struck eyes, and not caring about the world. The girl forever knew that he was only hers and he knew that she was only his. Then they lived happily ever after. Except, that's not how the story went. That 'happily ever after' never happened.
