This was the very first book that I wrote back in 2015. It has not been formatted or edited by anyone. I wrote this book as the first book in the Hawkins series with two more to follow soon.
The book cover is very special to me because it's a photo of my mother and father when they were teenagers. My father was diagnosed with cancer while I was in the middle of finishing this book, so I had to put it down. He lost his battle with cancer in 2017 a few days after Christmas and it's taken me until now with everything going on in the world today to actually want to get it out there. My father was my biggest fan which I appreciate him for always giving me input or just by asking me how my book was going.
So, here it is!!! Thank you to everyone that has been asking me about my first book I hope you enjoy the read as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to life.
Beau Hawkins is a strong, hard but fair lawman from out West who came to Gum Creek to help settle the town along-side Abel Thomas. Together they make the laws and see they're carried out. Beau has a reputation of always getting his man or woman in Emma's case. Beau is a take charge kind of man that doesn't do love and romance, though a good roll in the hay now and then has always been enough. He is now finding out that the love of a good woman is everything to him and keeping her safe is his main concern, when danger comes for her in the form of a census man named Nathan Berg.

The Captains
A football player and a cheerleader. The ideal and stereotypical couple right? Think again. Grayson Cooper charming, attractive, and stereotypically arrogant. Grayson is the star quarterback of Ocean City High and the most popular guy. One of those guys that a girl would die if he even talked to them. However even if it didn't seem like it Grayson hated the brainless seeming idiots that flirted with him. This is probably why he's so intrigued by the new girl who defies the stereotypes and isn't what everybody says she is. Aspen Peterson the new girl at Ocean City High new to Florida period. She is not only known as the new girl. Aspen is the captain of the cheerleaders after showing everyone out at tryouts. Blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, nice body, sounds like the stereotypical cheerleader. But that's not what Aspen is. She isn't interested in dating an empty-headed person who knows nothing, doesn't really care about prom, or the empty-headed people who think she sleeps around. Aspen is a free spirit girl, who isn't afraid "to be one of the boys", isn't afraid to be herself, but is afraid to be loved or let anybody in after a difficult past. Aspen vows not to fall in love, because of still struggling to let go. Will all that change when two people who think they're completely different, but really have more in common than they think cross paths? ★ I wrote this when I was in middle school (12-14 years old). It's cringey, some parts don't make sense since I have yet to edit it yet but it is a cute book. You've been warned :) ★ - this book has no smut. it's rated mature due to language. *Completed December 2016* (Cover by - ashtonlirwin ) !!!!!! - THIS IS NOT A DOLAN FANFIC - !!!!! * Please don't translate this book *Complete
Devil in White
DARK ROMANCE WARNING In a small town named Hawkins, stood an eerie lab. In that lab, held one of the most dangerous test subjects to come across. Isolation. Torture. Over time, he stood still in front of a mirror, practicing a smile that could never reach the eye. Patience. Time. The clock is ticking, and it's almost near. She had made the mistake of accepting a small job interview as a nurse. A naive nurse, indeed. But unfortunately, she was too curious in the parts of the job Brenner held from her. Secrets. Imprisonment. They crossed paths that first day. A pining obsession settled down in the depths of his mind. Her sweet smile too captivating to ignore, showing obvious unawareness. And he couldn't wait to destroy it. Hello again, my Henry lovers! This little short story has been settled in my mind for WEEKS. It's not going to be as long as my other books are, and it's not going to be as sweet either 👀 I want to warn EVERYONE when I say that this book is going to be on the dark side. I know I normally make Henry's characters on the sweeter side, but this one is going to be anything but. I'm going to write him in the way that I think he would actually be. WARNING This book will have EXPLICIT sexual content, language, blood, murder, torture, past sexual abuse (don't worry, I won't go into too much detail on it) HEED THESE WARNINGS This book will not be like my others, so please, if anything of the above bothers you, do not continue. I will put trigger warnings on chapters that mention sexual abuse, as I know that is very difficult to read. I DO NOT own any of the stranger things characters, or storyline that resembles the show. I hope you enjoy my dark mindComplete
Southern Charm
Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations. While others her age are embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!

Finding Safety
18yo+, sex, adult situations, mature situations. Graphic murder scene, erotic sex scenes This book is copyrighted. I had to run! I couldn't stand it any longer. Jacob's anger, yelling and all the abuse. Saying he's sorry over and over and that it won't happen again, but it's the same thing over and over. He would say anything to make me stay. Always an apology then back to his old tricks. He doesn't know I got a phone call this morning while he was at work. A phone call from someone with a number that I didn't' recognize. I looked up the number online, and it came back to a mental institution. I can't imagine what I was thinking not listening to my gut the first time he hit me. But I packed my stuff from the closet in a bag and left. I have been on the road for hours when my phone starts buzzing next to me. I see his name pop up and just ignore it. I focus on the road ahead and although I have no clue where I am going I just drive. I tried to do everything I could to make him happy with me but nothing I ever did was right. Everything would set him off and make him fly off the handle. I couldn't call my parents and let them know what was happening. I chose to leave the moment I graduated high school because I knew what was best. Boy was I wrong!Complete
I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.
