Even a Diamond can be shattered...
  
After the owner of a security company is murdered, his sharp-edged wife goes on the run. Forced to abandon everything she holds dear - her home, her friends, her job in special ops - she builds a new life for herself in England. As Ashlyn Hale, she meets Luke, a handsome local who makes her realise just how lonely she is.
  
Yet, even in the sleepy village of Lower Foxford, the dark side of life dogs Diamond's trail when the unthinkable strikes. Forced out of hiding, she races against time to save those she cares about. But is it too little, too late? 
  
  **WARNING**
  If you want sweetness and light and all things bright,
  Diamond's not the girl for you.
  She's got sass, she's got snark, and she's moody and dark, 
  As she does what a girl's got to do.

Vesper Hale -- It only takes a moment for your whole life to change, forever. Vesper is a nineteen year old girl with a dark past, who had no idea what she was getting herself into when she went to the bank one day. In a flash, some men break into the bank, and steal twelve million dollars from the vault. Taking the place of another women, Vesper offers herself as a hostage before they leave. Now, she'll need to fight for herself if she wants to stay alive. Josef Pierce -- Will his intentions, good or bad, matter in the end? Josef never knew how his day would go the moment he entered the bank. At the time, he had only one thought on his mind, but everything changed when he met Vesper. Surprised by her selflessness, he agrees to her proposition. At once he is captivated by the young girl before him, but his conflicted feelings don't help the situation. He cannot afford to be distracted, not now. There are too many things at stake. David Carter -- He never could have guessed what was in store for him. Detective Carter is a young, rather new detective. He is extremely smart, and thinks quick on his feet, which has allowed him to jump through the ranks so quickly. Some people don't think he deserves his station yet, and he has to continually prove himself as a good cop. He ends up as the lead detective on the bank robbery case, and is now in charge of locating the missing money and bringing the thieves to justice - as well as being Vesper's only hope for a rescue.
If only it was an Illusion! by Aafrynn

"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living. She's blunt, She's sensitive but she is also accompanied by two of her best friends in this story: Gina Sullivan and Francis Rutherfold. The enterprise which she works in is different, very different. In fact, the 'CEO' is not just another Happy go lucky male lead of the company. Aaron Reynolds- Rude, Arrogant, Harsh, and Stubborn. He's what they call an eccedentesiast. They say that a person who defines negative adjectives has a lot more inside them, the darkness in that person may overrule all the Positiveness. Well, with Aaron, it's hard to say. But...What if Amanda already had a face-off with 'The CEO' before working in his firm? What if she had already drawn a thick line of hate? What if egos of the same level collide? What then? True Love? More like an illusion! An illusion that poses a life threat. An illusion with the ability to make you believe in non-existent things such as; fairies, demons, fate, and even destiny! Ironic is it not? What we as humans happen to rely on.
