For Ash Griffen, a quiet home is a foreign concept. His parents ignore him while his siblings struggle to cope in the unique situation they've been given. Ash is no exception. He steals from stores to get attention. He believes it's the only way.

But his theory ends up sending him on another mad-dash from the cops, one that this time, lands him straight into the bedroom of Eleanor Mitchell.

He's everything her parents have warned her about, the type of person that's to be avoided. Yet she's curious as to what makes him so free. 

Curiosity killed the cat you know.

Over the course of five days, the two go through so many ups and downs while following their now intertwined paths. With the help of Ash's best friend Zeke and Eleanor's childhood friend Ian, they go on a journey that tests upbringings, stereotypes, and most of all, each other.

A story about self discovery and first love, "Flightless" is sure to take your reading experience to new heights.

[COMPLETED] When Angeline married Nathan Snyder, it was supposed to give her the perfect life. Her dream was shattered the first time her husband laid a hand on her, showing her that the life she'd married into was going to be anything but perfect. Now a twenty-five-year-old pastry chef, Angeline reaches a breaking point with Nathan's abuse when he does the unthinkable: he threatens her life. Angeline knows that this path only leads one of two ways: either she lives with Nathan and his abuse, or she allows him to take her life from her. Instead, Angeline chooses a third option. She risks everything-and runs. Escaping to a small, rural Texas community, Angeline changes her name to Aaliyah and hopes to start a new life. Traumatized by her past, she never expects to find comfort in another man again-until Jason Moore, a twenty-nine-year-old, winemaker and part-time sales associate sweeps her off her feet with more kindness and compassion than she's ever experienced. Angeline knows that Nathan would search the ends of the earth to find her and make her pay for leaving him. But when Angeline can't stop herself from falling for Jason, she's forced to face a difficult choice: Can she escape her past and be with Jason, or is she risking his life by loving him?
