Abide

Mark Ross lost his mother at the early age of 7. Ever since that tragic night, survival’s guilt haunted Mark day and night to no end. So much to the point that Mark was counting down the days until blissful death came to claim his soul.
Then the new girl showed up at his school. Mark begins to get a different perspective on life, and finds himself in a special bond that he can’t seem to stop thinking about. She seems to bring him nothing but happiness whenever she is around.
But she also comes with a dark side, and Mark finds himself a magnet for danger. He seems to be tied up in something he never asked for, but does he really have the courage to cut the rope between him and this new girl? Or is there something more, something forbidden, between the two of them that he will fight until death to keep together?

Emmaline Hammonds only lived for a short 17 years, through a life of what she always remembered as miserable and unhappy. She thought she had too many imperfections for anyone or anything to love her. She never knew how pure her soul really was, and how others thought so, too.
Then her life ended tragically in a brutal murder committed by a man whose face she never saw. The shadow of his dark, mysterious figure has haunted and terrified her for as long as she can remember. When her life was taken, she thought all the pain would follow. She thought this was the end of her journey.
But is death really the end of the journey? Or is it only the beginning of a whole new battle? A battle that will introduce you to a new perspective on life and a new love? Or a battle that will introduce you to something that you won’t want to abide
