The Last Best Place
Drace Heinrich has never been a patient person. She's broody and quiet, and she never quite learned how to control her temper. Her older sister, Joan, on the other hand, is bright, bubbly, and well-liked by everyone she knows. The summer before Joan leaves for college is the worst and best summer of Drace's life. She finally feels like she fits in with her friends, and her crush, Michael Murphy, finally starts paying attention to her. But when her sister starts to act out and another boy walks into her life, Drace's life starts falling down around her. --- The window wasn't wide enough to fit the width of her shoulders, so she stuck her head out, then pivoted her body to allow for her shoulders. After that it was pretty simple, almost like doing a pull-up at the gym, she simply grabbed onto the top of the window for support and pulled the rest of her body through, then dropped to the ground as stealthy as a cat. Drace pulled the window closed as best as she could from outside, leaving it open just a hair so she could climb back in. She was feeling pretty proud of herself right up until she heard someone behind her say, "Wow. Well done." She turned around to find Michael leaning against the side of the garage. He was a good twenty feet from where she stood, and if he hadn't said anything, she was sure she would have missed him. He was wearing all black, with a leather jacket and a beanie. And a pair of sunglasses rested on his nose. In the middle of the night. Drace had suspected before, but now she knew for sure; Michael Murphy was the coolest person in the world.Complete

Rogue
|ENGLISH| 'Those who judge don't understand and those who understand don't judge.' She was a picture of perfection, a saint in the eyes of the world, charming, graceful, and always in control. Her carefully crafted image earned her admiration and influence, but underneath it all, she craved someone who could see the real her. Then she met him. A delinquent boy with a cold, dangerous stare and a reckless streak, the kind everyone else avoided. He seemed like a frigid beast, sharp, intimidating, and terrifying. Yet, there was something... off. Beneath the wild exterior, he was simple-minded, a little clumsy, and painfully naive, a boy who could barely string a coherent sentence together when it mattered, yet somehow stole her attention. She quickly discovered his secret: he wasn't just one person. There were two Rogues, a timid, bumbling boy who fumbled through life, and a wild, untamable monster lurking beneath, capable of destruction beyond imagination. Meeting his other self was like staring at a stranger, yet the timid Rogue couldn't even remember what his dangerous half did. NOT EDITED YET On-going BlueSadism @2021
Phenomenal
I'm Brilliance. I'm Gifted. I'm Phenomenal. ~~~ Clarissa has a new neighbour. He's charming - in that Irish way (even if his name is French). She's only thinking in terms of being 'a good neighbour' and a friend, of course. She has a boyfriend who she loves - even if her roommate DESPISES him. (He's really not so bad.) But as friends, she and her neighbour might just work. Especially when he comes home one night looking like he'd fought a frying pan and lost, and she ends up patching him up. Not that he'll tell her what happened. He just dismisses it, brushes it off and changes the topic. And then it happens again. And again. What the heck is he involved with? He says it's not illegal. His brother says that he's special. And Clarissa knows he's lost him somewhere along the way. But in what way has he lost himself? And can she help get him back on the right track? And in doing so, maybe she'll admit that she's also a little lost and needs help finding her feet again. ~~~ Phenomenal (Love and Other Catastrophes Book 1) ~~~ ~~~~ Please note: Mild Language Cover Photo by: (Locating Photographer's name)Complete
