My name is Laura Collins and I'm on the run. My life was pretty normal, I was a nurse, I was living with my best friend in the best city on earth. I saw my family most weekends, life was good. But everything changed while I was on the job and witnessed a murder.
I was put into the witness protection program after an attempt was made on my life but they still found me. Convinced there was a leak I decided that the safest thing for me was to run on my own. I hit the road and drove until my car wouldn't drive anymore.
I ended up down south and found myself a live in nanny/tutor gig and thought I'd be safe there. The job was for a single dad of three and I thought it would keep me busy and out of site. But what happens when you find out the single dad is a cop, and not just a cop but a detective. And this detective was working on a case regarding the same drug cartel you were involved with? You've been there for a couple months, his family is attached to you and have already started to grow feelings for him. Do you tell him and risk him hating you for lying and possibly putting his family in danger? Or do you run again, and leave them with the same unanswered questions your family back home has?
Will Laura run again or find the courage to stand and fight.

Sneak Peek "Yo curiosity goin fool around and get you in trouble." I warned. "And so are your lies." She countered. "You're one to talk." I spat back. "Hey, I lie because I have to, not because I want to." I rolled my eyes in disbelief. Such a cop-out statement. "So what's the difference?" I countered. "Apparently nothing in your book." She shrugged grabbing her water bottle. As my brows went up, my mind trailed back to when we first met. She was a firecracker that stood solid on her own. And in those early moments, I had convinced myself she was the type to never give in so easily. Now, I was reconsidering if I'd given her too much credibility. "And you think that's healthy?" I pressed. "When you're protecting the ones you love." She said mockingly and I simply replied with a smile. . . First book to "DONT LEAVE ME" series. Thanks for reading!!

I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees.

Stalked By A Serial Killer
"How do you feel now, Morgan?" She says, more pointing something out than asking a question. She grabs hold of my wrists and tightens them. If I could see properly I could swear I see them turn purple. "I could beat you to the bone, right here, right now, till you die from your injuries. But, I won't. You will die. Maybe not today, maybe not in a month, but you will." Well, obviously I'm going to die. Humans don't live forever. "Wonder why?" "No, and I really don't care." She answers anyway. "Because we have the power, the people, and the weapons to do it. Face it, you're defenseless against us." I feel some blood flooding my mouth, so I, being a perfectly nice person, spit it in her face. That doesn't faze her at all. "I have the strength and intelligence, something you clearly don't have. Whatever y'all do to me, it won't break me. I will put up a hell of a fight before losing. I will fight, and I will win." I turn over and look at her fellow companions. "Even if I die doing it." "Is that a risk you're willing to take?" ____________________________________ 17 year old Morgan Peters is an average girl living life.

My Stolen Identity (Complete)
I never thought something like this would ever happen to me, because things like this only happened on TV, not in real life and especially not to me. Unfortunately I was wrong. Someone stole my identity. They took pictures from my Facebook account and created a fake online profile to catfish men and scam them out of a lot of money, and now I was being sued for $45,000. That's why I teamed up with Knox Hendrix, a ridiculously hot cyber detective who pledged to help me track down this catfish and put a stop to what she was doing. I tried to stay focused on the case, but the more time I spent with Knox the more complicated things became between us and our growing friendship, because I wanted more. Over time I found out that there was a lot more to Knox than I originally thought and he had a dark past and wounds that needed time to heal, but I knew I could help him with that if he would only stop trying to be the tough cop and open up and let someone in. I wanted to help him but I didn't know if I could ever be satisfied with just being his friend when I wanted so much more. I soon discovered that finding the catfish and solving the case would put my life and Knox's in danger and sometimes there are cases that are better left unsolved.Complete![It hurts....the emptiness [reborn as Rebekah Mikealson]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/386743543-256-k568992.jpg)

Cyfril
Okay, so being a detective's assistant isn't as glamorous as it sounds. There's a lot of running, dodging, almost getting cursed, and Liam giving me his signature disappointed dad stare every time I "accidentally" provoke a ghost. (In my defense, it was already mad). But hey, it's not all bad! We solve some pretty bizarre cases-supernatural hauntings, creepy murders, missing persons, and the occasional "Is this artifact going to kill me? " situation. And lucky for us (mostly me), I have light magic! Super handy for, you know, not dying. Liam? Oh, he's the classic detective type-cool, sharp, and completely unimpressed by my creative problem-solving skills (which may or may not include bribing spirits with snacks). But deep down, I think he appreciates my help. Probably. Hopefully? Anyway, lately, things have been getting extra weird, even by our standards. Something big is happening in the city, and I have a bad feeling we're about to end up knee-deep in trouble. Again. But hey, what's a little danger when you've got an overworked detective, questionable decision-making skills, and a bit of magic on your side? Sincerely, Penelope Harper Start: 03/01/2023 End:-
