Cadence Maxwell is living a double life.

During the day she spends her time as an average college student, taking an overload of courses in order to obtain her business degree and caring for her elderly, disabled mother. But at night, she's no longer Cadence. Instead, she has no choice but to transform into the effervescent Temperance, one of The Landing Strip's top earners and performers.

Cadence has managed to keep her secret occupation under wraps for the last four years, but her plans of keeping her head down and earning a steady income in order to pay for home health services for her mother come to a screeching halt when she begins to receive creepy fan mail and odd care packages from an anonymous admirer. Determined to keep their star dancer safe and secure, her club places her under close watch by their newest security guard.

There's only one problem. Her gruff, on the verge of antisocial, new security detail? Maverick Montgomery. Her lab partner.

Slow It Down by WriteOnMyFreeTime

[UPDATED WEEKLY] "You may be his world, but you're the only thing that ever felt like home to me." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Some people never get second chances. Lilah never thought she'd get one with her brother's best friend. Lilah is quiet, kind, and inexperienced in love. Jackson is all rough edges-tattoos, a bad reputation, and a long history of girls who never stay. They're total opposites, and after years of silence, they're inconveniently forced back into each other's lives as reluctant project partners. Once, Jackson was the boy who helped pull Lilah out of the darkness when she was struggling. He was her best friend-her only friend growing up. Then he walked away without a word. Now, four years later, he's cold, distant, and impossible to read. And if he hates her, Lilah's determined to hate him right back. But when old wounds resurface and secrets unravel, the line between love and hate starts to blur. The boy who once protected her is still in there somewhere-hidden beneath his walls, his reckless reputation, and the weight of a lifelong secret he's been barely holding together that he refuses to talk about. Because some second chances come with a price. And this time, it might be her heart.
