(The Forgotten Passages Book One)

After almost nineteen years, I was used to life - used to school, used to having to put down my beloved books in exchange for heels and pearls, and used to lying to everyone who wasn't aware of my second, secret life in the Brotherhood of Time.

It's been five years - five years since the Order's been heard of, five years since my life became a little more exciting...but almost four years since I saw the one person I thought I never wanted to see again.

Drake Garner's reappearance wasn't coincidental.  He'd been hiding something, something he's finally ready to reveal, and I'm apparently one of the few he trusts. 

I thought I knew about secrets...until I knew his.

Together, they must confront the shadows that have defined them, forging a path towards redemption and the unearthing of long-buried truths.

Unraveled by KatherineVeil
19 parts Complete Mature
Unraveled follows Caleb, who awakens in an opulent, unfamiliar apartment with no memory of how he got there or who he is. As he explores his surroundings, he finds glimpses of a life that feels both alluring and alien-extravagant spending, luxurious surroundings, and a mysterious, close connection with a woman named Isabelle. Despite their apparent closeness, Caleb can't recall her or anyone else from his past. Driven by disorienting memory flashes, Caleb uncovers fragments of his identity: he's an aspiring actor working at a high-end restaurant called The Gilded Plate, and he has some form of inheritance that explains his lavish lifestyle. At work, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to a charismatic coworker, Aubrey, whose confidence and flirtation provide comfort amidst Caleb's inner turmoil. Yet even Aubrey seems to hold pieces of Caleb's past that he can't quite place. As Caleb's life becomes a series of cryptic memories and unsettling realizations, he begins to suspect a dark undercurrent to his existence. Haunting visions of a woman with fiery red hair-Lila-flicker through his mind, suggesting hidden secrets he's unable to grasp. His growing closeness to both Isabelle and Aubrey leaves him torn between two worlds, each with its own shadowy undertones. Struggling to make sense of his fragmented memories, Caleb is drawn into an increasingly tense mystery that raises chilling questions about his own identity, past relationships, and the truths that lie hidden within the people around him.

"I don't know what kind of girl you think I am Greg" I mumbled. I was not the kind of girl who slept with guys on a whim. I wanted him, but not enough to abandon all reason. He took a step toward me, ignored my narrowed eyes and wrapped his arms around me. I wriggled and tried to pull away, but he only held me tighter. His face was impossibly close to me, expression serene to my fury. I could feel him already, pressing into my stomach. Fear shot through me, but the anticipation was equal. "I know exactly what kind of girl you are Maddy... that's the problem" He said simply. His lips crashed into mine, tasting every inch of me. I wanted more than anything to pull away, leave and never mention this again.... but I couldn't do it. The feel of him naked, warm and muscular against me rendered me speechless. I couldn't explain it, but our bodies seemed to fit together somehow and the anger I'd felt just a minute ago. That firey anger at him invading my privacy was gradually merging with the previous lust from last night. Now all I felt was an all consuming need for him to touch me. ....................................................................... Maddy Reynolds' life is a mess. Her best friend's brother Greg has just died and her two best friends Mel and Dom aren't speaking to each other. She has no one to talk to about her confusing feelings towards Greg or why Mel is so distant. Then at the funeral, she becomes friends with Tom Winter by pure chance and he seems to be the only one who understands her. And yet.... even he is keeping secrets from her. The sort of secrets that have the power to change everything. Maddy now has to decide to trust him or find out the truth on her own. Things would have been a whole lot simpler if she'd chosen the latter.

(The Triumvirate Histories Book Four) What does the world think when a girl who'd been dead for three months turns up at the site of a huge CIA raid, which ended up with an explosion and four deaths? That she might have been in a stickier situation before than they'd known. What did they think would happen when she had a major panic attack after she realized that everything about her was gone, locked away in her mind? Well, obviously what did happen...or else they wouldn't have been prepared to knock her out again with morphine. And just who would that girl be? Me, Emmy Alexander...at least, that's who they told me I was. You know the stories of people with amnesia after a traumatic accident. They don't remember weeks, months, or maybe even a few years of their lives. I'd call them lucky, because they at least had a foundation to build on. Me? I couldn't remember a thing when I'd woken up after they'd knocked me out after my panic attack. I couldn't remember me, my family, my best friend, how I'd gotten the burns and cuts that now marred my body... I couldn't remember whose green eyes haunted my dreams every single night. My therapist said that my memories might come back in my dreams, when my subconscious mind was free to be revealed. And so far, she'd been right. Parts of my life were slowly coming back to me - my father's laugh, my mother's smile, my brother Jason's and best friend Drake's annoying overprotectiveness. But there were others that I couldn't explain - a tale of secret societies, puzzle keys, bronze boxes, and break-ins to museums and government buildings around the world. It wasn't until I saw those eyes on a man, who seemed so familiar that it made my heart ache, from across a gallery in the Louvre. A man who introduced himself as John Raymond. And it didn't take me very long to realize that maybe, just maybe, he was the key to everything.
