**TWICE FEATURED ON THE WATTPAD EDITORS CHOICE LIST** **Romance Category WINNER-Community Hub Awards** Have you ever felt your heart beat so fast, that you thought it would burst through your chest? I did... the day I met him. Eva: My younger sister's diagnosis with autism drove my career choices. Thanks to college and hard work, I loved my job as an Autism Specialist Teaching Assistant at the school my sister attended. Making a difference in the children's lives was all that mattered to me, along with my family and best friend, Amber. Until I bumped into him, the special guest coming to talk to the children. With his gorgeous face and sexy Irish lilt, he made my heart pound in a way I'd never experienced before, and I knew I'd never be the same again. Justin: Being signed to a top English club had been my goal since I was a small one. But the move required leaving Ireland behind to start a new life in Liverpool, which would be simple if I didn't have to move my parents and younger brother, Brandon, with me. We'd found him a place in a top special needs school, and I was looking forward to visiting with the rest of the team to check the place out. Of all the things I expected to find there, it definitely wasn't her. All gorgeous smile and mesmerising eyes that made my heart race as if I'd just ran twenty lengths of the pitch. But when Eva falls victim to a ghost from her parents past and ends up in danger, will Justin be able to save her before the final whistle blows, or will it be too late?

The Elementals
My name is Tide. I'd love to say hi and all, but if I tell you my location two very bad things could happen. First, someone who isn't really on my list of favorite people might find the information. Then, they would hunt us down and try to use our powers to take over the world and other maniacal things. Yeah, not so fun. However, I'd like it if people knew how things really happened. You may see things on the news, and they may sound bad, but trust me, this is the real story. Because I'm an Elemental. And somebody needs to set the record straight.* [Action #101] [Fantasy #2] :: cover credit goes to the lovely ATXNNA :: *heyo so this book is pretty old, some (a lot of) spelling mistakes, some (a lot of) plot holes, but if you're looking for some fast paced action and some sarcasm and some cliche romance you should honestly just go to the second book but yeah, this has got that, just with, you know, the glaring faults in the story line. Just a warning.Complete
