WE ARE ALL GUILTY : Maybe Even You Are? by RohiniCh3

"Just don't misunderstand me. It's not like I wanted to.....I had to.....for her" "You make me feel guilty. I should be handing you over to the police but I.....I still can love you. I love you" _________________________________ One death was the start of it all. But that's not where it stopped. Because that was a flame that slowly turned into a full blown fire and burned to death every person who surrendered. In the search for the truth is a sister. In search of justice is a son. But all that it is going to unravel are truths and secrets that would lead to a murder. And justice that would lead to injustice for lovers.

Wasted in Waldport by RichardPDX

With friends Melody and Jenna, she learns Jenna's boyfriend, Wes, was murdered outside Coast Watch, a group protecting seabirds and their old-growth habitat along the Oregon coast. Police detective Ferretti question Jenna. Sally knows him through her father, Randy, an insurance investigator.

Sam seems to dismisses Wes's shooting as random violence against Coast Watch, but later, a clue leads Sally to loggers in Waldport.

Save Me by JayKay531

This is actually supposed to be the 5th installation of The Arrangement series but it's the third book I wrote. Feel free to read this while I write the actual 3rd part. Jordyn Kane-Evans is a 27 year old detective working with the Special Victims Unit. When she was younger she came across one of her mums old journals and when she found out about how she had been assaulted she knew right then that she wanted to put creeps like him behind bars. Whilst she had a successful career putting rapists away she wasn't very successful in the dating department. Even though what she did was quite noble, the women she dated couldn't handle it. They worried for her and couldn't take the long hours she had to work, sometimes working through the night. Her mothers worried for her, they just really wanted their Angel to settle down and find a good partner who could be there for her since she would need someone to emotionally support her considering how draining her job could be. Alex Carter, 28, is a prosecutor who takes on all rape cases and occassionally acts as a defence attorney especially when police brutality is involved. She has a deep hatred for cops. Especially Detective Kane-Evans and her sleazebag partner Detective Rivers. But she has no choice but to work with them especially in rape cases. Unfortunately, Detective Kane-Evans was the best in her field. Alex found her absolutely gorgeous with her long dark brunette hair which was almost black and her blue green eyes, too bad she was an asshole cop just like the rest of them. She hated it whenever she would try and flirt with her. It was totally unprofessional and completely uncalled for. No wonder why everyone calls cops pigs. But then something bad happens and she finds the only person who she can trust and who can protect her is Detective Kane-Evans. She soon finds out that maybe, just maybe not all cops are bad. Read at your own risk. This is a wlw book and has adult themes like sexual assault and murder.

White Lies (Book 1) by help-me-think-of-one

Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.

Bryan Brent(The U-Turn) by MystiquCal

Four good hours gone and yet nothing - no solution. I kicked a chair in my office hard sending it flying through an empty space as it crashed to the floor. Shelving off all the documents on my table to the floor, I created a perfect mess. The feeling of frustration engulfed me, tightening all the muscles in my body. It was like I was having a panic attack. I quickly helped myself to the bottle of whisky on the bar and drank uncontrollably from it. I remembered the last time I drank this way and what happened. But at this moment, all I needed was to forget everything that was happening. Closing my eyes briefly to relieve all of the tension, I opened them again but the pain was still there, the reality of my loss was dawning on me completely and I was helpless. 'Desperate times calls for desperate measures' that's what they say. Bryan a twenty-seven years old billionaire had a perfect life until Maryrose Brent, his mother decides to show up after ten years and a supposed dead uncle finally resurrects. Suddenly his perfect life takes a U-Turn and begins to crumble bit by bit before his eyes. Could it all be a mere coincidence or is there someone truly behind all of the happenings? And how far, are they willing to take it? Perhaps, till the last breath is sucked out of his body. [Unedited] Started February 2020 Ended July 2020 Word count [144,591]
