Crime thrived in their city. They were bred from it. Born watching their backs and being careful how they moved. The three friends thought they could survive if they had each other.
But bonds forged in tragedy and blood aren't forever resilient. Time penetrates, and peels away every pillar of strength until nothing remains.
The lover, trapped in his own mind...no longer knowing what he fought for.
The mourning, trapped in her addiction. Unable to move on.
The prodigy, trapped in a neverending cycle of violence and repentance.
Love can become a festering wound that will eventually poison the body.
The question is, can they live without it?

To Breathe Again
"I want to capture this moment and save it forever." He looked at her, watching the way her cheeks flushed a deep red as he brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "You're breathtaking. You have no idea how gorgeous you are, do you?" His voice was a low whisper, sending shivers down her spine. She tried to hide her smile but failed. Slowly, he leaned in, his breath warm against her neck. "Would you like me to make you feel good?" Her heart raced as she nodded, barely able to speak. His hands moved down her legs, teasing her, building anticipation. She leaned back, letting herself get lost in the moment, her mind swirling with the intoxicating sensations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michelle Garcia is doing the best she can to get back on her feet along with her 17 year old son. In her 40s, thrown away twice by men she should've been able to trust, she has chosen to focus on what she can control and work hard to provide for herself and Tony. Grant, Trent and Sam are three friends who have been together through thick and thin. Growing up together, they realized that they would always be a team.

They needed a woman that they could share; one that would hold them together and balance them out. They tried separate relationships in the past but all fizzled out. They never found one that met the needs and desires of all three, until they saw her.

Ace Of Spades (Complete Raw First Draft, Unedited)
This story sucks, don't read it! It's amazing how quickly your life can change. In a slow town like this, where nothing exciting ever happens, where nothing ever changes, one single moment can alter your life forever, for better, or for worse. Sometimes, we're lucky enough to be able to recognise these particular moments, and take a leap of faith, but, more times than not, they just happen without us even realizing what's going on until it's already too late. Tonight, a simple Saturday night, just like any other, would turn out to be one of the most defining moments of my life. Ace is living a slow life, knowing nothing other than drinking with his friends and the motorcycle club that raised him, waiting to reconnect with his father who has just been released from prison after a fifteen year sentence. Life is simple, though he thought. Until the night he meets Jenna, running from her haunting past and the man that she is desperately trying to escape. Ace is dead set on protecting Jenna, but, as she slowly learns to trust him enough to open up to, he finds himself landing in the middle of a human trafficking operation and a feud that goes way back, between the ringleader and his club. Suddenly, life doesn't seem so simple... Work in progress, especially the blurb! This story has content which may offend some readers. Mild coarse language! Physical and sexual violence! Lots of drug references! First draft! I don't own the cover image! I'm a disappointment to my family!Complete
Malicious Romance
Sometimes, not every love story can be as idyllic as it should be. Dean Winchester, bred and raised in the mafia, carried a heart that yearned desperately for love, just like any ordinary person. While the essence of a criminal coursed through his veins, his heart wept for every inhumane act he committed. No matter how hard he strived to become a better man, he couldn't wash away the thick blood of an outlaw. In the end, he never expected anyone to care for him. All he ever longed for in his life was to experience the tender embrace of a mother's love, like everyone else. Sadly, even his own mother chose to abandon him to the clutches of his ruthless father, the Cobra mafia boss. Every twist of fate was fueled by the mere fact that he carried the blood of a killer, leaving him branded as a monster without a chance to prove his worth. Dean grew weary of trying to change people's perceptions of him. Until one fateful day, he crossed paths with the daughter of his sworn enemy, and his world turned upside down. In her presence, he discovered acceptance for who he truly was. For the first time in his life, he experienced genuine love. Every emotion, from tenderness to heartbreak, washed over him, gradually numbing his senses. ***WARNING*** Strong Adult Content & Explicit Language 18+. The story contains brutal acts of violence.

Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness.

As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Complete
