"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him.

Saving Lucy

1 part Complete Mature

Two years after her mother died in a horrifying car crash, something good finally happened to Lucy, or so she thought. Someone good. And gorgeous, too. Her name was Mackenzie Rizzo, they met in an 18 and up club, and Lucy was certain that she has found what she's been missing in her life - until she learned that Mackenzie was already married. Two years of secret meetings and heartbreakingly disappointing weekends later, it seemed that Lucy found someone who would give her everything that she lacked in her relationship with Mackenzie: Damien Coleman. Juggling him and Mackenzie quickly became effortless but wasn't meant to last soon after she met Damien's older sister, a new heartbreak followed, and all Lucy could think about was revenge. After being caught up two love affairs and struggling with an alcohol addiction Lucy returns home. It isn't long before she finds out she's pregnant and her ex-boyfriend begins pressuring her to reconcile and marry him. Damien's a good guy but she doesn't love him. She reveals another relationship she carried while dating him. Lucy's rejections burn and another series of events causes Lucy to do some deep soul searches when her baby is born early. Suddenly she finds herself the caregiver of this tiny baby, and at war with her inner demons when she turns to a higher being for help, she needs.
