As her blue eyes slowly closed, and sent her off into a deep sleep, Macey knew that tomorrow would be the hardest day of her life. The sound of the sweet palm trees and the waves sliding along the shore made everything so much worse and tears started to run down her face, leaving even more tear stains on her pillow.
As the sun started to show its bright face, Macey speedily got out of bed and readied herself for the airport. The only thoughts trailing on in her head over and over were, "If it hadn't happened you wouldnt be leaving." and "This is all your fault!". It was like an i-pod playing a song 1,000,000 times and she didn't know how to make it stop.
As Macey and her best friemd Georgiana reached the airport check-in desk, the water-works started again. They both burst into tears simulaniously at the thought of ever being apart and maybe never seeing eachother again. A cute worker (or at least someone who looked like a worker) helped the girls put the bags on the conveyer belt as they were too heavy to lift.
Macey Strollienne is a 22 year old girl who is forced to leave everything and everyone behind and move to London, England, due to a traumatic family event which took place only a few months earlier. While starting her new life as a Brit, she comes across many new interesting faces.... And maybe even some not-so-nice ones from her past...

Indecorous
(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right.

Everything that we used to take for granted has been distorted. Amidst all of this revolution, I see women restlessly gazing out their windows. They want a share of this exciting, new world. I have been privileged to have access to it and I do not want to be the only one...but I do not know if I am the right person to bring about this change," Carys whispered dejectedly.

The curtains were pulled aside so she could see the stars littering the night sky. The gentle slopes of the hills stretched as far as the eye could see and the darkened shadow of the village was a speck off in the distance. At this breathtaking sight, Carys finally let the tears fall. Each teardrop held her fears, her anger, and her sadness. Why would one need to find refuge in the shadows if there is nothing to hide? Only in a perfect world.Complete
A Royal Rebellion
The secret seemed to be etched across my face, the words "traitor" branded on my forehead.

Everyday men fight and die for their country on the battlefield, and people grow poorer and poorer everyday as King George continues to tax the colonies. But while civilians drop like flies, nineteen year old Rose and her family are safe in England and as close as ever to King George and his obnoxious daughter Princess Sophia. Rose has a life that one would dream of; endless money and luxury, marriage offerings from every suitor in town, and the privilege of having the royal family in the palm of her hand. Except there's one flaw to Rose's perfect life: she hates it. While everyone else is jealous of Rose's wealth and luck, all Rose wants is to return to her hometown Virginia and get away from Princess Sophia and her minions. But then Rose meets Fiona. She's leader of the Shadow Group, a group of overlooked woman who sneak information from the British and send it to the colonies. Desperate to escape her living nightmare, Rose joins and her luck starts to change. Soon she's secretly attending meetings and flirting information out of her chosen suitor to help her hometown; until the ultimate betrayal tears the group apart. Will Rose make it out of Britain and live the life she's always wanted or to persevere her family's reputation? Or will she crumble under the King's careful thumb and break free forever?
