Blayne "Blay" Shaw is a woman graced with beauty, passion, and a painful secret that haunts her mind. The daughter of The Lion, she is used to being revered and protected, until she makes a fatal mistake that sends her life wayward-and into a situation she never thought she would be put in; being kidnapped. Through sheer desperation and fury, she retaliates against her attackers and escapes, not realizing that her actions hold a dark consequence. 
  
  Finding a drunk woman, stumbling around the woods she had just set aflame, is not what Alec McGregor expected to see when he is warned of danger. Assumed to be a rake who seduces anything with legs, Alec has a reputation that deceives his calculative mind-and his love of solving mysteries, which is precisely what this inebriated woman gives him...until things turn from chaotic to dangerous. No longer is Alec trying to figure out who she is, but now he's faced with helping her come to terms with her past-and faced with coming to terms with his own feelings for a woman who could not be more wrong for him.
  
  When Blay realizes her family is in true danger, they begin to realize their feelings for each other are growing, yet their battles are different. Alec wants nothing more than to help the insane woman he's come to care for, but when she won't accept his help with even the slightest task, her stubbornness may drive her right into the arms of danger itself.

*** Ansel Adams, or Ance as those he knows tend to call him, is a bad man though he didn't consider that to be his fault. His father had been a bad man, his grandfather had been a bad man--hell as far as Ance knew he came from a long line of men were just a bitten rotten down at their core. Everyone that knew Ance knew he was a man who would never change, never give up his lifestyle, never settle down....Until Penelope Reynolds came sobbing into his life. Ance hadn't given much thought to offering this rich man protection as he took a load of stolen goods to market until he realized that the banging sound coming from the crate was a tiny little blond with pigtails, freckles and a bad leg. Suddenly he's struck with a choice. Save the girl and return her to her family or simply let life do what life does and chalk it up to bad luck for little Penelope--in the past the latter choice would have been easy, but not now. *** Audrey Reynolds had never been so afraid in her life. Her daughter has been stolen. Her daughter is all she has left in the world since the murder of her husband five years earlier. Desperate to find Penelope, Audrey enlists the help of U.S. Marshall Rodger York who also happens to be the man who's been trying to marry her since the day after her husband had been placed under the ground. They embark on a journey to find Penelope and Rodger has vowed to kill whoever took the girl away. But things go wrong and Audrey learns that the very man she went to for help might be the man responsible for every bad thing that's happened in the last five years...... Will Audrey find a way to survive but more importantly will she ever see her daughter alive again?

1 part Ongoing Mature
Ruth Laurier didn't move to New York City to chase her wildest hopes and dreams like most people do. Instead, she moved to try and escape the shadows of her past. After a brutal attack that left her only breaths away from death, she had no choice but to leave everything she has ever known behind- her friends, family, and the town she grew up in. So she assumes a new identity as Bailey Rivers and focuses on her studies and lying low in the city that never sleeps. Her plans to keep a low profile are derailed quickly when she meets Xander Matthews- a cocky, infuriating, and undeniably attractive bad boy who seems too interested in finding out what's behind her cold, guarded demeanor. Although Ruth loathes him, she cannot help but be drawn to the inexplicable intensity in his eyes. But trusting people is not an option for her. Not when the killer she's running from is still out there. But despite every nerve ending in her body telling her to keep him at an arm's length away, she can't ignore the connection she feels every time he pushes against the walls she's so carefully built. As their interactions become more fervent, she struggles to deny their fiery chemistry which makes her mind spiral with questions. Can her heart learn to find refuge in him? And if so, will he still want her when he unveils the dark secrets she's been hiding? Or will it become too dangerous for the both of them? That's a risk she doesn't want to take. But when the lies start to unravel, Ruth must make a choice: keep running, or finally confront the past that has been holding her hostage.

At age ten, Clarice Stuart is rescued from a potentially traumatizing experience by a mysterious stranger who seems to appear out of nowhere and then disappear just as suddenly. Fifteen years later, on a cold November night on an icy mountain highway as Clarice is on her way to her parents' home for the holidays, a black clad rider on a black motorcycle deliberately strands her on the highway. While Clarice waits for help to arrive, miles away her parents and brother are brutally murdered in their home. At the funeral, a man approaches her and offers his condolences, claiming to be a friend of her brother's. Clarice has a sense of recognition but can't place where she might know him from. As a precaution, three deputies are assigned to watch over Clarice until it can be determined whether or not her family was a target or simply victims of a random attack. Staying at her deceased brother's home, Clarice soon learns that even police protection can't save her from the evil that took her family. When her family's attacker appears and kills the three deputies who were meant to guard her, Clarice is certain she will die as violently as her parents and brother. But standing face to face with the killer, she is shocked to be staring into the face of her recently dead and buried brother. Before he can take her life as well, the black rider appears and saves her from the fate of her family. It is then that she realizes that the black rider is the man from the cemetery - and her guardian from the past. Suddenly she finds herself and her guardian in a deadly, terrifying game of cat and mouse with a killer who won't stay dead. NOTE: This is a complete story, so it won't be distracting me from my other works-in-progress :)
