"I didn't know what to believe as the phone in my hands blinked with three new messages... messages from him. This couldn't be true. He was long gone. He had left

TWISTED PROMISES (Twisted Path Book 2
When love is all you have left to lose... how do you let it go? I should've known better than to fall for Shane Montgomery. He's rich, revered, and bound to a legacy that was never meant to include a girl like me. A girl born of shadows, shaped by secrets, and marked by a past that's forever tainted me. But Shane didn't care. With that cocky smile and relentless charm, he slipped past every wall I built and made promises I was desperate to believe. We said we'd hold on. That no matter how far apart life-or our families-pulled us, we'd always find our way back to each other. But forever is a fragile thing in a world ruled by power and privilege. A world built on lies and secrets, by people who would rather see us shattered than together and happy. Now everything we had is teetering on the edge of ruin-our love, our dreams, and something even more precious... something we never imagined we'd lose. They warned us we wouldn't last. And maybe they were right. Because the deeper the betrayal, the harder the truth cuts. Not all promises are meant to be kept. And love, no matter how true, isn't always enough. In this gripping second installment of the Twisted Path Series, loyalty is tested, love is torn at the seams, and two broken souls must decide if holding on is worth the pain.

Homewreckers || Merrikat
Completed June 12, 2016 DISCLAIMER: This is a fanfiction. The only thing real in this fic are the characters. The scenarios in this book most likely won't ever happen in real life. Also, the first half of this book is...really cringeworthy so I'm warning you in advance. - Senior year has just started. Zack got this. He was going to ask out his best friend, Jack Barakat. This should go as planned...not necessarily. The new kid, Alex Gaskarth, comes in and takes Jack away from him. Then before you know it, they're going out. That's a good thing! Zack's best friend, since forever, has finally found someone, right? Not in Zack's head. He knew Alex wasn't the one for him. And he would do anything to make sure that Jack is in his arms at the end of the day. - -There's not enough to merrikat on here so here's this lmao -also the story is in Zack's POV unless I say otherwiseComplete
