"Maybe I should bring you home," he suggests.

"Maybe you should find us a more secluded spot," I toss back, snaking my arms around his neck.

"You're pretty drunk, Vange."

"I am."

"And we barely know each other."

I feel myself deflate like a balloon after receiving the sharp end of a needle. Of course Rem doesn't want me. Nash doesn't want me, either. Hell, my own father doesn't even want me. 

What is it about me that's so unlikable?

----------

Good girl Evangeline Porter has always felt like there was a darkness inside of her, just trying to claw its way to the surface. She hides it well, but when she starts having nightmares that feel more like memories, she is desperate for answers. 

Unfortunately, no one will give them to her. 

With the help of her longtime crush, Rem, she launches an amateur investigation into her family's history, except what they uncover is more sinister than Evangeline ever could have imagined.

The truth doesn't set you free, after all.

‼️WARNING: The romance in this novel is fast-paced. If you want slow-burn, this isn't for you. That's all I'm going to say about it.‼️

***BOOK THREE IN THE RAE OF LIGHT SERIES. However, it can be read as a stand-alone.***

Brave Enough To Love Again by CalliopeBlythe

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"

Secret Mind ✓ by sadlyish

"She's right! She's right! I don't cut in the right spot." My hold tightens on my wrist. The red blood oozes out of my wrist. I slide up and grab my bag and run out of the bathroom. I don't care if people can see the blood I just want to get out. I race for the doors and shove through people. I earn a lot of glares and glances that read "weirdo." I ignore and push. I run to my house and lock myself in my bathroom. I don't bother closing the front door cause I don't care if people come in to kill me. I grab my razor and cut deep cuts into my arm and wrists falling into a pool of my own blood. • • • Evangeline has a great life. Friends? Check! Good grades? Check! Loving family? Check! But what if she has secrets that nobody knows of? What if the only thing she can trust is her secret diary? What if slowly but surly she's dying inside?

Her school burns down forcing her into a different school to meet different people and she has to fit into a different lifestyle as well. Meet Evangeline. Now at 17 years of age in a new high school.

Don't say I didn't warn you. Okay, I wrote this at the start of this year (may 2016) and I had very poor writing skills. This book hasn't been edited and the whole idea is cliche so I wouldn't recommend you read it but I'm not stopping you, either. Read at your own risk. • • • Copyright © 2017 by -moonlust.

His Wife by paynechristianson

NOTE: This is only a preview of my novel His Wife which is sold on Amazon in all formats. The link to the full novel and my other novels is in my bio. For years, Evangeline has been married to Joseph Vanderbilt who has always been the perfect depiction of a husband while she was his wonderful obedient wife who would give in to his control. Out in public, he'd always go around with a smile on his face and a loving arm around Evangeline. But behind closed doors, no one really knew how impossible it was for Evangeline to be his wife, not even Evangeline until it was too late. She didn't realize it was too late until she saw the dead body in her husband's trunk, and he confessed that his real name was Eugene. After that, Evangeline has been fighting for her survival every day while also trying to escape him. However, he's made it almost impossible by tying her to the bed every night and constantly keeping her by his side. He confessed that all the precautions were because he loved her and wanted to keep her in his life, but the more she tried to escape, the more he began to show his true colors and start abusing her. He'd tie her up for hours or beat her as he pleased and would even bring his family members into it. After a while, Evangeline realized that time was very limited when she discovered a secret cellar and a secret even darker inside it below their cozy home. After she discovered the hidden room, Eugene would start locking her in it for days at a time with the possibility of never letting her out again. It only gets worse when he and his cousin make threats to mutilate her if she ever tries to escape again, which only gives her one last chance to get out while she can and get it right.
