Ours to give, ours to take back. No more than twenty-five years. Nothing left behind. Those are the rules.
No exceptions.
Only, she became the exception. Just not for very long.
~
Georgiana Vertigo's world has been turned upside down. Again. After facing down the past and learning some hard truths, Georgiana finds herself back in New York with several relationships in ruins. At this point, all she can do is survive day to day while attempting to process everything that happened while she was away and what's coming.
When mixed-species couples start turning up dead, it's her job to track down the killer while avoiding total catastrophe in her personal life. However, she soon realizes that's not as easy as it sounds, if it was ever supposed to be easy in the first place.

BLOOD BOUND • BILLIE EILISH • [Ongoing]
The most believable lies often have a grain of truth, that's something you're growing to realise more and more. Lessons in life you were taught to never question, by the one you thought was the epitome of wisdom, become less trustworthy the more you learn to think for yourself. To a creature who has walked the earth for so long, with only survival on your mind and no room for anything else, a few weeks or months are merely fleeting moments, insignificant memories that will surely be overshadowed in the blur of your existence. It would take someone special to make you cherish them above all, to show you that being alive isn't the same as living.
The Beginning (Book One in The Illusion of Certainty Series)
A little blood, a love triangle, more danger than one girl can handle. What more could a girl ask for? Georgiana Vertigo has the perfect life or at least that's how she views it. Her family is perfect, her friends are even better. But a wrench is thrown into works when five feet and eleven inches of mystery walks into her life by the name of Michael Thor. He's everything she wants but there's one little problem. She can't have him. Because he's a Vampire and Slayers aren't allowed to date Vampires. Someone else has taken an interest in Gee, someone she's known for a long time. Aidan Hanover is everything she wants and he's normal, everything she can have. The only problem is his reputation and if he's really ready to get serious. To make matters worse, someone on campus takes an interest in her, a bad interest. Everyone isn't who they say they are and Georgiana learns it all the hard way. In the first book of The Illusion of Certainty Saga, the waters start off calm and end with ten foot seas. Leaving you wondering what can happen next. © SCCourtneyComplete
The Ghosts
My mother always told me when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When someone knocks you down, you get right back up. You fight the good fight until you have nothing left. You fight with honor, you protect the ones you love, and if you just happen to die in the process, than you do so with dignity and grace. What my mother neglected to tell me during my studies was that you don't always get what you want, the outcome you think is coming doesn't always happen, and when the smoke clears, you're always going to be the last one standing. By the end of The Certainty, Georgiana Vertigo is left with nothing more than her life, something many people would be more than happy to have. However, Georgiana is left to her own devices in a strange city, alone and heartbroken with regular intense bouts of depression. In starting a new life with the Guild, Georgiana has everything she needs in order to move on with her life and keep her mind off the past. Only problem is, the past is never truly forgotten and no matter how hard you try to shake them, the feelings that go along with the memories don't just fade away. ~ * ~ Alright, chickens. You asked for it (some of you at least) and here it is...well...part of it. Like I've told a few of you, this is a work in progress. I add pieces to it when I think of them. The posting on this story will NOT be regular but thankfully for you, I have quite a bit of it done. I just haven't decided if the path I take it down is the right one. So. I hope you enjoy it and I will give you a forewarning that as the story progresses, it gets a bit more adult. For those of us just joining the party because they stumbled across it in the Paranormal category, there is a whole series of books you have to read until you get to this one. Go start with The Beginning. You can find it under "My Works" on my home page.Complete

Possibility of the Future
The clock was ticking, measuring time down to the last second. The last heartbeat. The last breath. The last moment I would have on this Earth. It was a slippery slope and I knew when I saw the bottom, that was it. My time was up. When Georgiana Vertigo was given only a handful of years left to live, it was hard to see the possibilities of what the future could bring. With the past locked away in the dark recesses of her mind, Georgiana set off to live the last few years as best as she could. Quicker than any Slayer before her, she worked her way up the ranks of Sword & Arrow to become the Guild's Second in Command. When it comes time for the current Leader to step down and chose a successor, Georgiana is her would-be choice. However, before she can step into the role, she must solve the current case she is working on. A serial killer is murdering prominent members of the Otherworld community and leaving them on display in very public, very human places. It's not the first murder case she's ever worked but there is something different about this one. The simple assignment is soon made difficult when the latest intended victim survives and she's forced to protect him. A task that should be easy, even with the time constraint of solving the case in a week, but it's clear everything will become complicated when she learns who she'll be protecting and who is committing the murders.Complete
