Rated PG-13 because some themes might be touchy subjects to some people. No smut. No gore. No profanity.

Lucy, the first born of the noble and notably rich Trevana family, had it all; fine clothes, wealth, and even her own bodyguard... at least until her title was stripped of her. Being dubbed unfit of the family name due to her irresponsible lifestyle, her father, Fereydoun Trevana, declared that she must depart from their home and forsake the family name until such a time as she proved herself worthy. Left with nothing but a small sum of money, which she squanders in less than a week, and her best friend and body guard Rodney Marcel, Lucy must now learn to put an end to her riotous, albeit innocent, living while Marcel desperately fights to keep her away from speakeasies in the Callistan prohibition. As Lucy makes her way, she meets different people, each one changing her slightly for the better or worse, who drag her into the affairs of their lives and eventually get her and Marcel mixed up in political, economical, and religious disaster which threatens the safety of the whole solar system.

	Set in a futuristic version of our world in which the planets have been terreformed, For Want of a Name begins on Callisto in the city Galilea, but a sudden turn of events eventually brings them to the planet where life began and still thrives as the central power of the solar system, Earth.

Disclaimer: I wrote this novel before the movie Lucy came out it is in no way related but the premise of the brain and the powers eerily similar It is the year 2173. Human beings have evolved to use more than 10% of their brain, and as an effect, possess supernatural powers. Luna and Lara Valkyrie grew up in a foster home in the town of Westhaven, California. Both 18 and having been born on the same day, they were raised as twins, Luna adopting Lara's surname because of her own being unknown. Westhaven is a lovely town, the perfect place to live the american dream in. There is only one problem. Not only there, but in almost every place in the world, human beings are branded with a number, that being the amount of supernatural abilities they possess. By the time each child reaches the age of 18, that number becomes permanent, and everyone with a ranking above 5 is taken away. From that moment on, they belong to the government, and must train in government facilities that are a lot like prisons or army bases. Their eyes are changed by machines, and they are identified for the bright aura-like color that surrounds their pupils and contrasts against their natural eye color, "the sunflower effect". The day of the chosen has come, and Luna Valkyrie is a seven. When she is taken by government guards, she believes her life is over. That is, until she meets Alexandra Pertierra, a brazen 23 year old with a rank of eleven who turns her world upside down with a cocky smirk. *An aftermath to Wicked Intentions*

"I don't want or need a bodyguard." "Too bad, Princess. I'm not leaving." ------- For twelve years, Azmira has known only one life-the cold, ruthless streets of London, where survival comes before everything else. Trapped in a gang that raised her, she has been conditioned to steal, fight, and obey without question. But the truth? She was never one of them. Kidnapped as a child and forced into a world of crime, Azmira learned to survive-never to trust, never to love. When a mission goes wrong, she gets caught. But when the police dig into her past, they uncover the unthinkable. She has no legal identity. No real guardians. And a single DNA test changes everything. She isn't just a nameless girl. She is Azmira Ahmed Khan-daughter of the powerful Khan family of Pakistan, who lost her twelve years ago. Now, forced to return to a family she doesn't remember, Azmira is surrounded by warmth she doesn't know how to accept. Where they are open, she is guarded. Where they love, she pushes away. The Khan family is desperate to reclaim her, but she is still a girl raised in darkness. A girl haunted by a past that refuses to let go. Her parents assign her a bodyguard for protection. Zavian Raheel. Ex-military. Unshakable. And the one man she cannot stand. He treats her like a mission, not a person. He doesn't care about her walls, her anger, or the scars she refuses to talk about. But the more she fights him, the more he refuses to back down. And when the past she tried to escape comes hunting, Zavian is the only one standing between her and the life that nearly destroyed her. She never believed in love. Never trusted it. But maybe love isn't about belief. Maybe it's about trusting someone to catch you when you fall. And trust? That's the one thing she never learned.
