I Am Bree - Book 1
****Copyrighted**** 'Tell me you don't feel it.' He whispered against my lips, and the trembling that had ceased at the feel of his lips against mine began again with renewed vigor. 'Tell me it's not what you want, and I'll go. You'll never have to see me again.' Swallowing, I looked up at the eyes that had entranced me from the start. I took in his every feature, slowly and deliberately. I thrilled at the feeling of his arms enfolding me, and I inhaled his familiar scent with a trembling breath. And then, then I did the most foolish thing imaginable: I flung my arms about his neck and kissed him with all that I had, almost losing myself in the safety and security I felt. But more than that, I ran. I took his moment of shock, the slight loosing of his arms about me, and tore myself away from him, shoving out the door and into the rain. I suppose I'll never know why he didn't follow me. It was the thing I feared most. I knew that if he came for me a second time, I wouldn't be able to say 'no'. I wouldn't be able to run. But I had to. I had to go. I couldn't let him be hurt because of me. He would live on now, and I would marry another. I had leased my last bit of passion in that one moment in his arms, and as I made my way through the dark streets, I felt myself become dull and lost like the creatures bound in the menagerie. **Much of this was written when I was younger and then I came back later and finished it. There will likely be mistakes. Lots of them.Complete

Safe and Sound: The Short Memoir
Safe and Sound: The Short Memoir written by Elliot Parker. I've always written stories and music about my personal life. It was the only thing that would heal my scars and wounds. However, there was always a hidden layer of truth that I tried to shield from everyone in order to protect myself. Everything I write tends to be about my thoughts, feelings and emotions but in a way that I could keep them private. This essentially led me to bottle it all up and throw it far into the water. And then I was pulled underwater where I was going to have to face every part of my brain and heart in order to swim through the storm I became trapped in. This story was written about my life in ways I've never explored with writing. It was excruciating to look at my deepest insecurities, the feelings for a boy who never loved me back, and the most traumatic events I've had to experience, in the eyes. Writing a memoir that was originally for an assignment, turned into something more for me. It allowed me to revisit the past and try to explain them in my words, instead of rumors being spread faster than a forest fire. Sometimes you don't know you're hurting until you're being forced to sit in a locked room with your past. Realizing just how much pain and suffering I am still going through was tough, but it opened my eyes and allowed me to release the words I've been holding hostage for months. These four chapters were written about moments in my life that I've never shared with anyone before. I'm ready to tell my story.

Whispers Of Yesterday
In the world of the elite, everything is polished to perfection, yet beneath the surface lies a murky reality filled with shadows and whispers. Olivia McKenzie never intended to become entangled in this labyrinth of wealth and power. As a determined young woman, she sought a fresh start, but fate had other plans when she landed a job as the assistant to Alexander Steele, the enigmatic CEO of Steele Enterprises. Alexander was a man of contradictions-brilliant yet brooding, charming yet ruthless. He wore his heart behind walls so high that few dared to scale them. The whispers about his past echoed through the halls of his glass fortress, stories of betrayal and loss that had shaped him into a man driven by ambition and guarded by pain. Olivia, naïve to the complexities of his world, was drawn to him in ways she couldn't explain. Yet, as she navigated her new role, she quickly learned that every relationship in this realm came with strings attached. Between the steely gaze of her boss and the suffocating expectations of her past, Olivia found herself at a crossroads. Her own history loomed like a specter, her possessive ex-boyfriend demanding what she had fought so hard to leave behind. As Olivia and Alexander grapple with their personal demons, their paths intertwine in ways neither could have anticipated. Their attraction simmers beneath a veil of misunderstandings and secrets, each encounter igniting a fire that threatens to consume them both. But in a world where trust is a luxury, and desire can lead to destruction, will they find the courage to confront the echoes of their past? Or will the shadows of yesterday prove too powerful to overcome? In "Whispers of Yesterday," love becomes a battlefield where the stakes are high, and the consequences are dire. In a dance of passion and peril, Olivia and Alexander must decide if they are willing to risk everything to uncover the truth behind their hearts.
