••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
For little seven year Hope Dennison(now Cindy Jacobs), sixteen year Adrian Sloan wasn't just a babysitter but her hero, brother and best friend. Two years after her knight in shining armor disappeared without a trace, life took a downturn, taking away the people she ever loved and most of all, taking away a part of her that would probably never heal.
After the traumatic experiences faced during the past years, Cindy is challenged with living the rest of her life with the bad memories from her past but never again will ever be able to remember the good. She is more than shocked when a stranger approaches and claims he knew her even more than she knew about herself and is even more surprised that he was making all effort so that she would recognize him though she had no idea why.
Adrian Sloan is more than appalled when he gets back to California to discover his darling angel isn't his darling angel anymore. She had changed drastically. She was an entirely different person. After getting to know the "truth" about her past during the period of his absence, he is more than determined to get her back on track and into his life again.
Watch as he turns her world right side up through the power of music, love and selfless determination. Will Cindy be able to handle the changes coming her way? Will Adrian ever get the real Hope back and where she belongs with her in his arms? Will they be able to fight the battles coming their way and will the rightful justice be served?

When Our Stories Collide
"We were complete opposites. Jackson's life before me consisted of him pushing away anyone who tried to get close, while I wore my heart on my sleeve." ---------------------------- Maggie Carpenter is a waitress at a high-end club in Arizona who loves nothing more than a quiet night cozying up with a good book. One fateful night she ends up serving Jackson Porter, a devastatingly handsome yet brooding British author, celebrating the National Book Awards nomination for his newest novel. It's an instant magnetic attraction for the two of them but there's just one problem, they're polar opposites. Due to his abnormal upbringing, Jackson's life before Maggie consisted of him pushing away anyone who tried to get close, while she was an open book who always wore her heart on her sleeve. He had tattoos, piercings, and cursed like a sailor, yet she was mild-mannered and did everything to please those around her. Both stubborn in their own ways, Maggie needs someone to show her how to live in the moment, yet Jack needs someone to keep him grounded. Jackson lives his life wild and free, while Maggie toils her life away living vicariously through the pages in her books. But the reality is, neither of them were really living until their stories collided. Excerpt- "I know that I've fallen in love with a man who isn't ready to catch me but that's the crazy part about it, isn't it? You don't get to choose who you love or when it happens. There are no warning signs to keep you from getting too close to the edge. It's like a roller coaster, exhilarating and terrifying at the same time." Will she end up convincing him their love is worth the fall or simply be used as a pawn in his latest book?

Guarded Hope
Hope Smith would not describe herself as outgoing. Deep down, she knew that her life was ruled by her fears, but things were about to change. She had just graduated high school, suffered through her parents divorce and made what she thought was a simple decision to go camping, alone. Little did she know that this trip would challenge her heart and change her life. Would it be for the better? She would need to confront her past regrets, let go of her fears and become unguarded. Running into Ethan Thompson was the last thing on her mind...until she did. Could he be just what she needed? ***** This story is part of a series: Guarded Hope - book one Waiting for Hope - book two ( not a sequal but written from a different POV) Hope Unguarded - book three (chapters will be posted starting November 2016) Let me start by saying that this is the first story I have ever written. Therefore I honestly believe it is not my best work. Don't get me wrong, it's good if I do say so myself. I've heard from many of you that you enjoyed it, liked it and even loved it, which makes me happier than you could know. All that is to say that my writing has really improved since starting this story January of 2016 and I can see my progression. I hope you enjoy this, especially after I just dissed my own work!!Concluida

A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 1
If you're given a chance to live once more, will you take it? Even if... it comes at a cost? A dying woman reminisces on her short life and comes to regret not doing the things she likes - always sacrificing her own happiness for her family. On her deathbed, she whispers her wishes to a friend. "If only I could go back in time, I'll make sure to live my life for my sake and not somebody else's." Little did she know that her impossible wish would come true with the help of a mysterious woman. And in her second chance at life, she meets a certain problematic person... "Kaiden Ma" - a young and handsome genius who is also the richest heir in the East - has a little problem. One - he is way too grumpy; and two - he is mysophobic. With his family pushing him in a relationship, the problem escalated. For how can he possibly be in a relationship if he can't even touch anyone? Due to this, he is forced to look for a suitable "pretend" partner. "Senara Lee. I'd like to offer you a deal." "Hm? A deal? What deal?" "I need a fake girlfriend and you're the only one who's trustworthy enough to assume the position. Be my girlfriend for a year and I'll make one of your books into a movie." "For real?! You bet I'm in! Anything for my babies!" (babies - she's referring to her books, yes, she calls them her babies). And so, their hilarious and catastrophic game begins. Well, at least until the "Guardians of Fate" comes in. What will they do with this romance that wasn't supposed to be? And what is the cost of this new life she was given? 🌸 𝘼 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝘾𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 🌸 ✅ A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 1 🟨 A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 2 🟥 A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 3 - 4Concluida
