Do people come into our lives by fate or chance?

After her mother's death, Charlotte Miller's father decides to move her and her siblings to Las Cruces to be closer to their relatives. She's forced to leave her friends, boyfriend, and school behind. Even in a new area, she's unable to confront what happened to her mother on that fateful night. 

Gemma Nguyen has lived in Las Cruces all her life. She has many friends, good grades, and a seemingly perfect family. Not many people know that her family contains secrets and painful memories they must confront together. 

Both girls know they need to confront their inner demons with themselves and their families. But they find solace in their trips to the desert. With each other, they find empathy, connection, and something even greater. 

Maybe some things were just meant to be.

The Price We Pay     #3 in Merciless Series by moonchildnessa
32 parts Complete
There are ways of dying that do not end with a funeral. Types of deaths you can't see, feel or smell. Because death, just like love, has a mind of its own and some things can't be prevented. What started as an innocent high school quest in search of truth and revenge quickly turned into something entirely else. Something that Aspen Cornwell never anticipated. Something that shatters her entire reality, leaving her without an idea what to do next. She has lost almost everything that mattered to her so losing herself doesn't really make that much of a difference to her. When Collin Adamms returns back with a new dose of truth about what really happened to Courtney Chapel, alongside with his new-found memory that he lost due to his temporary retrograde amnesia, he finds Aspen in a state he would have never imagined. She seems like an entirely different person and reminds him so much of himself. They are both stuck in a vicious cycle of lies, schemes and addictions and Collin's determined to finally make things right. He tries desperately to save Aspen from her own self-destruction because the price they all have been paying seems like too much and he's not willing to pay anymore. Definitely not for something someone else should be paying for. But saving someone else while also trying to save yourself from demons constantly shadowing your every move might be more difficult than he thought. And maybe they aren't done paying for all the lies just yet.

Always a Friend

61 parts Complete

Seventeen-year-old Gemma Parker is tired of always being the friend. The one he calls after he gets home from his dates at night, the one he confides in before he asks another girl out. Their junior year is quickly coming to an end, and Gemma refuses to sit at home alone for the last dance of the school year. Instead, she asks for help from the last person she'd ever dreamed of turning to. Ashton Hughes is the hottest guy in school and Gemma's next-door neighbor. So she asks for his help to become popular and find a date for the dance. He says he'll help her on one condition; she can't fall in love with him. She says that won't be a problem. Project dance begins, and now the roles are reversed...Gemma is out there dating, trying to find the right guy for the dance. Now, Ashton finds himself feeling jealous hearing about Gemma's dates.
