"What I don't remember them saying is that love isn't easy. I don't remember them telling me that those who supported me through this tragedy might just be the cause of my next. But I do remember thinking: you're hurt the most by those you love."

Fay Westbrooke has never known loss until her father left this world - by his own choice. Six months later her senior year starts, and she's ready to enjoy it with her friends and loving boyfriend. But she soon learns that not everyone is who she thinks they are. Her savior might just turn out to be her downfall. She's supposed to be thinking of college, last pep rallies, prom, and graduation. But she's too busy trying to hold up the world around her that keeps falling apart. 

     She learns quickly that those you love can't always be trusted and those you love cut the deepest.

Faya Hathaway is no stranger to unfathomable trauma. Hell, she was born into it. A world where she had no control over her own life or destiny. Just a lone figure, surrounded by a diabolical society, without any friends or a real family. Most feared and loathed her due to her father. Others shunned and degraded her due to her ways. This suits her just fine, as Faya would rather hide in the weeds than attract any further attention. However, after her stepmother disappears, Faya finds herself further entangled in the world she hates. She knows the rules perfectly well and has now been saddled with the woman's debt, which the Hounds of Hell have been sent to collect. But what happens when one unsuspecting Polaris crashes through her impermeable façade? Invading her heart, the very place Faya sealed and bound tightly long ago? Is it nothing more than smoke and mirrors? Is it merely a ploy like so many others? Or could it be... ⎯ 21 - This is a dark romance set in the underworld of Sinclair, a city known to locals as Sin City. A world filled with unimaginable shenanigans and thick with corrupt crime, all designed to appease their ruler, a man called Hades.

In the future, a second variation, 22, will be written in the male counterpart's view. =0) Warning: 21 is intended for MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY |18+|.

(TH#3)“'If you can look me in the eye and tell me anybody has ever held you like this, kissed you like this, loved you like this, then I will let you go. I will leave and I will never come back.' And as much as I wanted to say that, yes, someone else had, I would be lying. Because nobody, not one person, had ever cherished me like he did." A father convicted of a murder, and Elsie was there to witness the entire thing. It should have left her scarred and afraid, but because of the help from Sam, a mysterious and kind stranger, she powered through it. He was her best friend, always there when she needed him most . . . Until he left her. Nearly eight years later and as Elsie finds herself stuck in a troubling situation under less-than-optimal circumstances, he suddenly comes out of nowhere again. But something has changed, with both of them. The secrets are heavier, the pain is greater . . . and what was once a friendship has turned into the roots for something more. Something that frightens both tortured souls equally. It's big enough, strong enough, to hold through, if they just acknowledge how much they need it to. Everybody has bruises . . . Some just take longer to heal than others.
