Emery Knight had learned, time and again, that a fairytale happy ending wasn't in her destiny. With a talent with words, of mixing reality with fiction but believing she doesn't, she abandoned her dream of becoming an author. In York, as a college student, she struggled with part-time jobs to keep her head above water. When a paid internship, involving someone she never thought she would meet again, knocked at her door, her world turned upside down.
Elijah Hale had always known he wouldn't be able to chase his dreams. As the third son of the baron, he had given up on his happiness, pushing himself to meet his father's expectation. When Emery slammed into his life, originally to help him meet the expectation, he began to question everything he had ever known.
What would happen when they find themselves with a chance at their dreams? Would they walk away or help each other find true happiness?

Unspoken
It has been almost 250 years since the nuclear World War VI that wiped out the majority of humanity ended. Since then, a government has risen, calling themselves the New Society. It's leaders have told the citizens that their only goals are to achieve absolute perfection, and to repopulate humanity. For almost two hundred years, the people have been told that life outside of the domed society is impossible, because the nuclear and atomic bombs destroyed most of the earth, and tore holes in the atmosphere during the war. The leaders say that the society is all that's left, and justice must be served. It was this that led to all descendants of WWVI leaders to be placed into institutions, where they are tortured and trained to serve their future masters. They are termed entertainers, and at the age of eighteen, they are auctioned off, left to the mercy of their owners. Entertainers are essentially concubines, but any relationship beyond slave and owner is strictly forbidden, and punishable by death. It's a risk many people are not willing to take, but there are exceptions to every rule. Nevaeh Williams has a past unlike the majority of the other entertainers. She's forbidden from sharing her past, but her experience has led her to both fear and despise the New Society. After two years in the institution, she's auctioned off to a young billionaire. Noah Ivanov is withdrawn and mysterious, hiding a secret of his own. As things heat up between them, a shaky truth comes to light that forces them together. A person from their separate yet intertwined pasts comes seems to haunt their every move, and they must secretly fight against the New Society, in order to discover their government's true plans. Can Nevaeh and Noah overcome the odds they face, and bring justice to someone they've both lost? Will they fall in love in the process? And most of all, will they be executed for learning of the New Society's true nature?Complete

When she moved from the small little town outside Dallas Texas, to the town of Palatka Florida, she didn't think anything would change. She and her father would go to a new pack, he would train the upcoming alphas, and check to see if everything was going well. Meaning take notes and help better the pack. Then they would leave after a year or so to the next pack. Simple right? Well maybe not. Audrey has had nightmares since she was nine. I don't mean nightmares like some big bad monster is chasing her. Even though that can be the case at times. I mean someone (a man) the same man, tries (and succeeds) to kill her almost every night.

She just has to figure out what that is. Love and heartbreak are inevitable. Betrayal and Trust will be revealed. What could go wrong? Probably a lot, but still, what could go wrong?
