Two young people are forced to make a stand in this thought-provoking look at racism and prejudice in an alternate society.

Sephy is a Cross - a member of the dark-skinned ruling class. Callum is a Nought - a "colourless" member of the underclass who were once slaves to the Crosses. The two have been friends since early childhood, but that's as far as it can go. In their world, Noughts and Crosses simply don't mix. Against a background of prejudice and distrust, intensely highlighted by violent terrorist activity, a romance builds between Sephy and Callum - a romance that is to lead both of them into terrible danger. Can they possibly find a way to be together?All Rights Reserved

Falling For The Forbidden by meghan0127

In Falling for the Forbidden, two step-siblings are trapped in a love they can't admit to anyone-especially not themselves. Will they choose passion over everything, or will their love remain the ultimate secret? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Olivia Smith never imagined her life would change so drastically when her mother Sophia married into the wealthy Parker family. With a new home and a stepfather-David, she tries to adjust, but her biggest challenge comes in the form of her stepbrother, Ryan Parker-handsome, charming, and utterly off-limits. Yet from the moment their paths cross, Olivia feels a magnetic pull towards him that she can't resist. Ryan feels it too, though he fights to keep his distance. The tension between them builds until it threatens to snap, and soon, what should be a sibling bond morphs into something far more dangerous. Torn between duty to their family and their intense feelings, Olivia and Ryan must decide if breaking all the rules is worth risking their future.

When a sudden and deadly attack threatens the fragile peace between humans and the mysterious Nythors, Helyra is offered as a bride to Aelorin, a powerful Nythor prince with dark, enchanting magic, born into a world where shadows bend to his will and night itself answers his call. For years, the Nythors-beings of magic-have lived alongside humans, their peace hard-won after a brutal war. But a celestial event twenty-two years ago changed everything. Now, no Nythor woman can bear children, and their race is towing on the brink of extinction. This unexpected marriage is meant to keep the peace, but it's far from what either of them wanted. Aelorin seems completely uninterested in his bride and harbours a bitter disdain for her kind, that is until he discovers that she might be the key to saving his people from extinction, or worse - the reason for it.

The Heartthrob Won't Leave by TheePeaches

- "God Blake, you're a true enigma" Her eyes widened slightly at his words. "I don't understand" she claimed, backing up a step from him, which he had clearly noticed. And to her shock, he took a step forward, blocking the gap she had just created. "You seriously don't see what I was trying to do up there?!" he asked, almost in disbelief. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting to do that?!" she couldn't believe how loud he was suddenly. She had always known Lucian as a calm person with a soft, almost brooding voice that he never raised. Now it almost sounded excited, it was interesting seeing a new side of Lucian Black. - Something is happening at Cross Climb High-school Although it seems fairly normal, students going amongst their days unbeknownst to who they travel life beside. Blake Collins was forced to move schools, along with her four best friends. With her mother dead and her father in prison for attempting to murder her brother, she's in foster care, struggling every day with panic attacks and obsessive thoughts from a past of psychological damage. In her new school, she deals with not only her constant daily struggle to maintain normalcy, but also somehow becoming the director of the school play. Add a crush on the school's bad boy, Zac, who seems more interested in Stella, Blake's promiscuous best friend and also contending with another one of the school's popular boys, Lucian, chasing her constantly despite firmly keeping up her barriers. Everything seems fairly normal, at least at first. But, brewing nearby is a rage so intense that it's about to bubble over, and when strange things start happening around her, Blake can't help but fear the worst events will unfold and hope that it won't take the lives of those she loves along with her own. Be careful, because you never know what people are really thinking. - *Warning* Swear words, violence, thoughts of self harm, and spelling mistakes that I need to fix and I swear I will.
