"Do you know the amount of pain I am able to cause you?"
~~~
"Don't follow trouble when is telling you to stay away. Only idiotic, half-witted fools do that, don't be one."
...
Alerian Collins, a psychology student with an effortless knack for understanding people, never doubted his ability to read others-until he met Arrow.
She was supposed to be just another case study, a person to observe and analyze. But she wasn't like the others. Cold, detached, and drowning in her own emptiness, she was a puzzle he couldn't solve. And the closer he got, the more tangled he became in her world of unspoken pain.
Now, Alerian faces an impossible choice:
Save her, and lose himself.
Save himself, and watch her fall apart.
How do you choose between a life you've built and a soul you're afraid to let go?

Dear Intruder | (Completed)
Could you fall in love with someone you never met, saw or spoke to? Sounds unlikely? *** Ella is an overworked college student whose only plan is to get through her college swiftly & proficiently. Sounds simple enough- but when she comes across a personal diary that sparks her curiosity, it is suddenly proven a little more than a speed bump. Ella is intrigued, maybe even enamored....

Hooked by the writer's endearing charm, sharp wit & beautiful penmanship, she begins an anonymous correspondence and with every confession, every single quip and joke, he wins her heart little by little while she loses herself in those letters. Even though she has a pile of college assignments demanding her time, Ella makes it her mission to search for the unknown writer.
