Staying four years in a psychiatric hospital, with all ties to the outside world cut, can tend to have a damper on a persons social life, not to mention romantic. So when nine-teen year old Amelia Brookes is thrown into the world with only $250 and a suitcase, who is she to turn to? Her Papa, the only family that loved her, had died last spring in a car crash. Salem can be a cold, lonely place when you're all alone. Will she be able to make it on her own or will the demons that haunt her in her dreams drag her down?
Dominic Hayes on the other hand has all the money in the world, and he's no short of willing companions but he much prefers to keep all to himself in his big estate on the outskirts of Salem. Looking from the outside in, his home is dark and grim and could use a lot of work. His assistant boasts that he should hire someone to upkeep the lawn, after all, "A little human interaction won't kill you Nic." He allows his assistant to put up a ad, work in exchange for a place to stay and a nice little salary, he hopes that no one shows a interest.
What happens when these two worlds collide and Amelia finds herself on a paranormal adventure full of twists and turns? Maybe she hadn't been so crazy after all? And could Dominic open his heart up to a friend?

Until Death Do Us Part? (Completed)
"Hi, I'm Tara Morningstar. I'm twenty-two years old. Oh, and one more thing: I'm dead." For Tamara "Tara" Morningstar, getting in an accident on her first anniversary wasn't in on the plan. Neither was dying. What's worse is, she's stuck in a place called the In-Between, where souls like her; souls who've died before their time are trapped until they find what's been tying them to the earth, and let it go. But Tara isn't ready to let go of Tristan. Not yet. Then she meets Alex-Dark, gorgeous and brooding Alex is a guy who's stuck in the in-between just like her, and someone who has many secrets of his own. There can't be two people more different then Tris and Alex, and yet Tara is strangely drawn towards the mysterious boy; a boy she knows she's seen somewhere before. After a series of impenetrable events-all of which point accusingly towards the person she thought loved her the most-Tara realizes what seemed to be an accident wasn't actually one, and things start getting out of hand. Now Tara is faced with an impossible choice: Have faith in his love for her and stay in the in-between forever, watching Tristan from afar; or find out what really happened the day she died, and let him go. Forever. Highest Rating: #8 in Paranomal ***Cover by @apollyon***Complete
