When Elizabeth Amelia Ross was ten years old, there had been an accident. That accident cost her the most important person in her life; her father. Even well before that dreadful day at the track, her mother had never liked her. The accident had only made it worse. Her mother blamed her for her father's death, and she never failed to remind her of the fact. For a while, Elizabeth had believed what her mother had been feeding her. But as she got older, she began to delve deeper into the crash that had killed her father. It turned out, that it hadn't been her fault after all.
After figuring out that it was, in fact, not her fault, she stopped caring when it came to anything that her mother said. She didn't give a shit about what she thought either. As soon as she could, Elizabeth got out of that house, away from her mother, and moved to Pine Creek. Not only emancipating herself, but changing her name to Raven; the nickname that her father had used for her. The only problem was, even with working her two jobs, it wasn't enough to pay her rent. So, kicked out from yet another apartment, she was left with no choice but to go back to her hometown.
Autumn's Grove, the town that she had thought she was done with, was where her younger sister lived with her childhood best friend. Raven's only hope was to get her sister to let her stay, temporarily, at her house. She only really needed to stay until her twenty-first birthday, when she would get the trust fund her father had left behind. She only has two problems. Cara is her mother's favoured daughter, so running into her was inevitable. And then there was Arwyn, Cara's best friend's older brother. He seemed to always be around. And no matter how much Raven tried to resist, he was relentless. Intrigued by her.
Will Raven and her mother finally settle things?
Will Raven find out who caused the crash?
And will Raven finally have her walls broken down?
There's only one way to find out . . . join her on her journey.

He asked and I looked up at his eyes. I didn't have to ponder over the matter long. "I don't know." I said softly. Daimen frowned and studied me for a while, "Just wondering, because you seem to love pissing me off. And most people don't. So I guess you need some figuring out to do." ********* Daimen and River were both seniors at the same high school, they took some of the same classes, walked the same halls, live in fair distance from each other, but they couldn't have been more different.

But when River starts to learn more of the young man everyone fears she starts to see him in a new way. After some time feelings grow stronger and she hopes she's not fallen for a murderer. And if she has, who is she to deny him the love he so desperately needs?Complete
Fake Tales
"I don't know what kind of girl you think I am Greg" I mumbled. I was not the kind of girl who slept with guys on a whim. I wanted him, but not enough to abandon all reason. He took a step toward me, ignored my narrowed eyes and wrapped his arms around me. I wriggled and tried to pull away, but he only held me tighter. His face was impossibly close to me, expression serene to my fury. I could feel him already, pressing into my stomach. Fear shot through me, but the anticipation was equal. "I know exactly what kind of girl you are Maddy... that's the problem" He said simply. His lips crashed into mine, tasting every inch of me. I wanted more than anything to pull away, leave and never mention this again.... but I couldn't do it. The feel of him naked, warm and muscular against me rendered me speechless. I couldn't explain it, but our bodies seemed to fit together somehow and the anger I'd felt just a minute ago. That firey anger at him invading my privacy was gradually merging with the previous lust from last night. Now all I felt was an all consuming need for him to touch me. ....................................................................... Maddy Reynolds' life is a mess. Her best friend's brother Greg has just died and her two best friends Mel and Dom aren't speaking to each other. She has no one to talk to about her confusing feelings towards Greg or why Mel is so distant. Then at the funeral, she becomes friends with Tom Winter by pure chance and he seems to be the only one who understands her. And yet.... even he is keeping secrets from her. The sort of secrets that have the power to change everything. Maddy now has to decide to trust him or find out the truth on her own. Things would have been a whole lot simpler if she'd chosen the latter.Complete

Tears will be shed, kisses will be shared, blood will be spilled, but her boiling anger will shine the brightest on her endeavor of befriending the enemy and burning the bridges that she has crossed in the past. *** He kept a neutral face, but his eyes said it all.

A Stranger To Him
This book needs editing, the first chapters aren't very good, but the story gets better as you read on! There was only one thing that Amelia White needed to do. Be invisible and never draw the attention of five boys. She has been avoiding them ever since she knew who they were, and she's not planning to be part of the game those boys play. At least, that was the plan until her feet changed it for her. Bumping into Caine Williams is not exactly the way you stay unnoticeable for those boys. She detests an emotionless, narcissistic, and selfish asshole. He's the most attractive boy she's ever seen, but he has a terrible personality. Everything just seems like a joke to him. Hopefully, this journey of heated conversations and stupid fights turns out to be positive, and there's no need for any more hearts to shatter. Nevertheless, bad boys are unpredictable and dangerous, and there will be no insurance for broken hearts and unfixable relationships. But there's no need for insurance if the hate Amelia feels towards him is stronger than the tiny piece of possible love she feels in her heart, right? Caine will definitely regret opening the chase on her when he finds out it's not worth it. At least, that was what Amelia thought. Bumping into Caine Williams was certainly not the plan. That's the only thing that's for sure. Amelia knows that she can say goodbye to the plan of staying invisible, thanks to her clumsiness, and she'll have to say hello to his world with trouble and problems. You didn't think he would let her be, now would you? ©JosephineFlorence, All rights reservedComplete
