*************************************************************************************
After meeting at a local fundraiser in Kona. HI, Leland and Ellie find themselves on new territory when it comes to emotions.
Leland; broadly confident, groomed by the eye of the camera, desired by his fans for his boyish charm and religiously conditioned physique. He'd played the field after his divorce with not even a vague plan for the road ahead except dedication to his career as a bounty hunter. Deep down, he missed the intimacy of a relationship, but Leland had no intention of revealing the scars on his heart for anyone...until that night...
Ellie's self esteem is at an all time low and cannot understand Leland's interest in her. Life has taught her that the things that she loves and values most will always disappear sooner or later, and she is the one who's left heartbroken, alone and in utter despair. A shy, and socially awkward outward appearance, beneath the surface, she ferociously barricaded her own heart under lock and key, pushing away anyone who dares venture near.
But she wasn't always this way; A fading memory of who Ellie used to be is at risk of disappearing altogether, and despite finally accepting Leland's love and loving him in return, the reappearance of an old flame and a dark secret could mean she faces life alone again.

The Player's Happy Ever After
Ethan Lane was your typical player. He was smooth, handsome, manly, successful and a total chick magnet. Women loved him and men wanted to be him. He had a steady stream of girlfriends in his past but always craved for more on the side. He could never be faithful or satisfied. He only knew how to live dangerously pleasing only himself as no one else mattered. The idea of finding 'the one' was nothing but bull he didn't believe in love or romance. He came from a broken family where promises and words meant nothing only actions. Having moved out of home at 15 Ethan knew he could only ever rely on himself and no one else.

Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?

Circles - Post Malone
She is well and truly fucked. He looks better, way better than he did in high school. In high school he was delicious but now he is just scrumptious. Dahlia can't move. She knows if she tries - her knees will buckle. Fuck how does he look even better with age? Shit. He has cut his hair although it is still an unruly mass of curls on the top of his head. His jaw has a serious amount of hair on it making him look mature but not old. He is also covered in tattoos, from what she can see, they cover him head to toe. Face and neck tattoos often look like overkill, but on Austin they just work. They add to his presence rather than take away from it. But then again she is inlove with him so she may be a tiny bit biased. Austin is looking directly at her with a slightly furrowed brow. Does he recognize her? Did Gina tell him she was coming? She is sure Gina said she had. "Dahlia, come here," Gina says walking over to Dahlia and grabbing her elbow then tugging her toward Austin. "Picking up strays already, Gina?" Austin asks when they get to him. "Oh Austin, you can be so silly sometimes," Gina hits his chest softly and he grabs her hand, holding it to his chest while he continues to stare at Dahlia. "This is Dahlia. Remember? From school..." Gina explains. Dahlia just stands in front of Austin like an idiot as he looks her up and down. "Dahlia...isn't that a stripper name?" Austin asks.Complete

I will not go down without a fight. *book extract* He pulled out his gun from his jacket making me fire at his arm and he dropped it screaming even louder while begging me to stop. "I asked you to stop too didn't I? I begged and cried but you never stopped. Why should I?" I fired at his other leg. "I don't want to kill you, I want to cripple you. You scarred my body now I'm going to return the favor. Every time you'll look in the mirror you'll remember me Jack like I do you." Gillian62003*Complete
