Amelia, after a stint with a punk band, feels as if life is an aimless road. Her world is crumbling apart, but so is everyone's. Right?
Antonio, a normal guy, works at the Asian specialty store, his mild manner makes him fit perfectly into a life full of sand dunes.
When will he teach Amelia that the establishment isn't real, that she has nothing to oppose.
"Establishment, you need to be significant to oppose it."
"But we are the establishment, of course we're significant!"
"Why are you trying to oppress something that you live comfortably under, anarchy is complete hell and you know it, live your life and have fun instead of dedicating your life to a cause that lost its shock factor decades ago."
"Punk is liberating, I feel as if I can be who I want to be, as if I'm part of a voice, the underdogs voice."
"Punk isn't powerful anymore, you think that you can beat order, something upheld since the birth of our ancestors by wearing a couple of studs and screaming into a microphone?"
Under the Sicilian sun, they work tirelessly and try to change each others world view.

Saving Trevor
For once, in the world of books, it's not the damsel in distress- it's the damoiseau in distress. Thankfully, this one has his knight in shining armor waiting for him to come around. ••• "So, I have a proposal," Amelia announces. We sit on the tree stump, facing each other. The sun is in the middle of setting so there's a nice glow that casts on us. Amelia's green eyes are illuminated by the sun, and her skin practically glistens in the light making an emphasis on how perfect her skin actually is. The breeze whipping past makes me notice her hair is down and pin straight. She smiles expectantly at me and I snap out of the trance I'm caught in by her natural beauty. "Right," I clear my throat. "What's your proposal?" "We hang out every day for the next two weeks. Don't worry, no sleep overs. A few days we'll meet at my place, others we'll meet at yours. You can meet my friends, I'll meet yours, and we'll get to know each other. At some point you'll either find yourself and start to accept me, or you'll still feel completely lost in yourself and you can reject me."Complete

So I Harry Anderson, reject you Amelia Knight as my mate." My heart feels like it was being cut in half and it wouldn't go away. I felt the tears in my eyes but I wasn't going to give him that satisfaction, so collected myself and growled. I guess he expected me to break in tears Oh he's so wrong! "Well I guess were on the same page because I didn't want my mate to be a fucking asshole with his head so far up his ass that he can't see". I said walking away and finally letting the tears fall. ___________________________________________ In a world where werewolf exist. 16 year old Amelia Knight was just hoping to shift into her wolf, find her mate, hope he will accept her, forget about the bullying and live happily ever after.

Unlasting
Lost to the true definition of love, Brie meets Adrian, a man daring enough to love her though he knows it may not end well. She falls hard for him, her reality of love far greater than her fantasies, but when a familiar pain resurfaces in paradise, and she feels like she may be walking down memory lane, will she have it in her to fight? Or is the fear of going through anything that resembles her childhood greater than her dream to finally find love? Love meets reality in this epic novel. *** "Excuse me, you seem lost in thought. Did you want to buy something or do I need to direct you home again?" "What?" She laughs, "It was a joke, Jeez. The last time you were in here you seemed like you had a sense of humor. Where'd that go?" "I have this neighbor who basically sucks the life and humor out of people. Unfortunately, I am a recent victim." "I know how that feels, trust me. I have one in my life too." "Anyway, what can I do for you Mr. ..." "Please call me Adrian." "Okay Adrian, what can I do for you today?" "Actually, I was passing by, and I thought I should say thank you for the other day." "That's nice, but you didn't have to. I didn't really do anything a human being wouldn't." "Hey, don't sell yourself short. You did a lot for me. If you didn't save my ass, I may have been a missing person by now, or worse that guy on the news they keep saying is nowhere to be found." "How can I argue when you mentioned the guy on the news. The news never lies, and I'm sure you don't either. You're right, I should be thanked for saving a life." "Not just A life, but many lives. Think of my poor mother and my friends and family. How would they live without me, huh?" "You're right, I saved a generation that day." We're both laughing very hard and it feels just right. Talking to her was easy.Complete
