Although the beginnings of the story take place in 1982 in a small town in rural Minnesota, Sheriff Jack Olafson still carries the weight of a missing girl case from twenty years ago. He was just a young deputy when Natalie Wilcox, a teenage girl, went missing. She was never found. When Tina Sandstrom, another pretty, teenage girl disappears, it conjures up memories from his only failed case. The small town of Rockford, Minnesota was built along the Crow River, with a rich history of flour and lumber mills. Many of the remnants of its past are still visible, including the original single lane bridge over the river. Generations of families continue to live in town and the local diner provides the venue for the old timers to share stories about the town. But no one wants to talk about what happened to Natalie Wilcox. It's a safe town, filled with farmers and hard-working families. Kids ride their bikes, play in the park, and explore in a time before everyone was addicted to technology. Jack vows to solve the case of the missing girl. With the assistance of a loyal deputy, Officer Peterson, Jack puts everything he has into finding Tina Sandstrom. They uncover potential witnesses, find disturbing and interesting clues, but still find their target elusive. A newcomer arrives in town, with family ties to long standing members of the community. Jack's rides a roller coaster of emotion as he digs deeper into the histories of the flock he has sworn to serve and protect. Secrets come out. The newcomer, Alex Larson, whose Aunt and Uncle, Stein and Alma, have owned Larson's Lumber Yard for generations, is a troubled youth who witnesses his father's death in a hunting accident in northern Minnesota, on the border of the Red Lake Indian Reservation.Complete

She is an orphan and grew up in a Home for Magical Children on Mage Island, floating in the middle of the Pacific. Under constant watch and scrutiny from the Guild, Claire now finds herself working side by side with a Black, the very family that was breed to become mage assassins, killing thousands of her people.

YOU BELONG TO ME
What if "The Grey's Family", was not the picture perfect family. What if the father was a gang leader and ran a very dangerous criminal organization, who ruled over his family with an iron fist. Christian Grey wanted out of the family criminal business and started up his own successful billion dollar company completely legit. His father let him be until recently needed him to marry the daughter of a rival gang. What will happen when in an effort to dodge his father, he meets the woman of his dreams claiming her as his without her even knowing, forces Jazmyn Steele who had problems of her own raising her brother's daughter, into a supposably fake marriage. There is also the new company he just brought that is not as legit as he thinks. There are still the other regular characters of the Fifty Shades of Grey including Mia Grey who has been keeping a big secret from her family. What will her father do when he finds out? This is another one of my Christian Grey stories, but many different character development. One thing that is the same is our Christian Grey still being into BDSM, but his submissive is someone new but at the same time an original character, who is she? Many surprises that will be revealed but only can be found out if you read the story. ⚠️ This story does include steamy scenes and explicit language also a very controlling, possessive ruthless Christian Grey so if your not into that type of thing this is not the story for you.

Subject Me To Life [Book One] ✔️ *EDITING*
BEFORE YOU READ- DISCLAIMER! The main character is blunt, hates life and is very vulgar and hateful towards everyone and everything . However there is a reason for this. She is strong-headed and short-tempered, ill-mannered and disrespectful (though some may say in a loveable way). If this isn't for you, then I wouldn't suggest reading this book. It's about character development and personal growth. - Kody Lawrence is not normal. On the contrary, she's everything but. When the hot-headed, short-tempered, rude new girl arrives in the small town of Raven Hollow, Maine, most people are put off by her unexpected and -considering her horrible attitude and pessimism- unwanted appearance. However, despite her constant locked jaw, clenched fists and cold glare, Lilah Johansson, Kody's appointed 'buddy', can't help but want to be her new friend in spite of their not-so-impressive first impression. But Lilah is not to be sold separately, and with the friendly redhead comes four boys with charming smiles and welcoming arms that hide their own secrets and covered-up lies. Amongst the group of five, Dakota Black is the one who stands out with his calculating eyes and kind heart, and while Kody has no intention to stick around longer than a few months, he might just be the one to change that. With a duffel bag of money, a box-filled with different identities, a pocket full of problems and a closet stacked to the brim with secrets, Kody's quiet and peaceful Senior year takes a couple of unexpected turns. The only question is: Are they for better or for worse? ___ (Small disclaimer: The first few chapters aren't the greatest, but I took some time off from writing this book and came back to it when I'd gotten a bit better with writing, so if you can get past the rocky start, hopefully you won't regret it). ___ Re-published: 7.4.18 (7th of April) Finished: 9.3.20 (9th of March) Currently editing and correcting mistakes / plot holes.
