Mavis and Blake have been best friends for seven years, two months, and sixteen days. They've been through a lot--middle school, braces, drivers tests, prom--and they got through it all side-by-side. Now, it's Blake's senior year, and everything is about to change. While Mavis worries about her secret feelings for Blake and his plans for college, he's trying to find a way they can be together when his world threatens to pull them apart.
With dreams that feel an awful lot like forgotten memories, secrets that begin to suffocate, and a creepy bird that follows her around like a stalker, Mavis has to make a choice: Blake and the dangerous world he's been hiding from her or the safety of the normal life she's always known. When someone comes after her, Mavis and Blake must work together to find out why and fight for their love.

I had unpublished this in hopes of editing and republishing. But i have lost my motivation for this story and cannot say if i will ever return to it. My deepest apologies.

But not long down the road will she discover that her world will never again be the normal one she has always lived her life in. Powers surface, secrets are revealed and she soon discovers that she has something more than just a power; a burden. 'A Chance to Dance and Ignite a Spark Within'Complete

Until then, I just have to survive my grandmother's experiments, my sister's nasty temper, and the charms of the town's bad boy, Ash Goodwin. Easy...ier said than done.Complete
As the Crow Falls | ✔
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
