Marabelle 'Mara' Stanford is a quiet, normal girl who just wants to finish her last year of high school in peace. She wants to go to college and earn a real job instead of working at the Ignite Cafe; her family business, but when her parents' die, she works hard to make her parents' dream come true.
One night, a wanted criminal tries to escape from the cops and runs inside the cafe to hide. Mara finds him, minutes after, hiding behind the cash register. Like a normal person, she didn't call 911, she stands staring at him holding a coffee mug above her head as a weapon and lets him go. But that's not all.
Mara is in for some great twists and turns. She didn't know what she just signed up for. She's been "Igniting the fires that shouldn't have been lite."

LIPSTICK & GUNPOWDER
Anton Morelli doesn't believe in love. Not in his line of work. Not when your father was gunned down in a theatre fire tied to a troupe of illusionists.

Gabriel & Athena, Book One: Fate (A Wattpad Featured Story)
FORMERLY TITLED "FATUM" Chosen as a Wattpad Featured Story in May 2017 There's a reason high school senior Athena Thorpe spends every available moment reading books: fiction is always so much better than the real world. Even the unexpected scandal she suffered thanks to Jackson Montgomery was just a blip in her typically mundane existence in Sparrow, North Carolina. But no story could ever compare to the life-altering events that occur when Gabriel Valente moves into town. Being the son of a notorious crime lord and having grown up on the streets of Manhattan, Gabriel defies all the expectations the students of Sparrow High have for him, including Athena's. She never expected he would match her interest in the written word, or his unlikely grand gestures and definitely not the immediate but intense feelings which cause them to spiral into a secret relationship. A relationship that hinders on Gabriel's uncertain future, which could find him being the heir to the mob throne. Whether or not she wants to admit it, Athena knows the world Gabriel comes from is a dark and violent one. It's just really easy to pretend it doesn't exist within the bubble that is Sparrow. Yet, no matter how much we pretend, reality is never far away, with Gabriel and Athena learning a tragic lesson about choice and consequence a little too late. When you finally decide what you want most in life, the next question becomes: will fate agree?Complete
