Serenity's Love
𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺. The woman of impeccable beauty was the infinite definition of her name. Calm and poise. Born into a violent life of guns and knives, you would assume a Mafia Princess like her would be training and preparing to be the next heir... But that wasn't the case for Serenity. On the other hand, she preferred to remain out of it. Therefore, Serenity's name was recognised throughout the world simply as only Serenity, the Mafia Princess who avoided the violent life of crime, instead, spent most of her time with Butterscotch, her ginger cat. Leading up to her second year of college, she sets goals to do nothing but study, try to party a little more, and not get attached to any boys. Because the last thing she wanted was to be heartbroken. Only when heartless and stunningly beautiful Silver Ceraso enters her life, she can't help but watch all of her morals crumble to her feet 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴 When Mafia families unite, Serenity and Silver become closer - and so, will Serenity be able to keep her love intact and away from Silver? And will Silver Ceraso allow the beautiful Serenity to captivate and capture him with her ways, allowing all barriers and wars in his mind to be tamed and destroyed? But the real question is, even if this does end happily for all, who's to guarantee that a complicated secret lying above the surface can't ruin everything?Complete

Quiet Minds
Noah lived an ordinary life behind a desk. He was just another face in the crowd, hiding an ability he never asked for and couldn't control. He kept his head down, avoided people, and never let anyone close enough to notice that he could read their thoughts. That is, until one rough day led him into the one place that would change his life forever: A bar. But it wasn't the bar that had him coming back. It was the bartender. Evan was calm, steady, and impossible to read. Literally. For reasons that Noah couldn't explain, Evan's mind was silent to him. It was both comforting and terrifying to Noah. Over drinks and late-night conversations, a quiet friendship formed. One that became the only steady thing in Noah's carefully hidden world. When an attempted kidnapping forces Noah to run, it's Evan who gets him out. He takes Noah to the Varients: a resistance group with a hidden base in the middle of nowhere where people get strong to protect those they care about. For Noah, it's a new reality. One where everyone is training to defend their home, and where abilities are a common attribute. But what started as survival quickly turns into something more. As secrets surface and tensions build, Noah finds himself drawn to Evan in ways he doesn't know how to handle. With a bond built from a quiet mind and trust, why couldn't love be a factor?
Just Me, Myself and You
**Complete** The best secrets are the most twisted. "The greatest beauty in life is it's mystery, the inability to know what course our life will life will take, and diligently work to transmute into our final form based upon a lifetime of constant discovery and enterprising effort", he said staring into complete darkness, watching the burning ball of gasses, twinkle and light up the dark sky shining like billions of tiny diamonds we've come to known as stars. Slowly he turned his head towards me, his pure hazel eyes staring into my brown ones, melting every atom of my existence. The natural glaze of the moonlight illuminates his features as I stared into the eyes of a flawless Greek God. His wise words taking me by surprise, and I began to fall even more inlove with him. If that was even humanely possible. Join the journey of Delilah Rose and Blake Cooper. Enjoy ❤ ⚠COPY RIGHTED ALL RIGHTS RESERVED➡ Queen_Nabz ⚠Complete

The Stalker (SAMPLE! Published!)
This story is now a sample due to it being published on Amazon, Smashwords, Googleplay and others. Things may not always be what they seem... Serenity thought she had it all when she married the sexiest man alive, Warren. He gave her everything she ever wanted and dreamed of having. They had money, the perfect house, the ideal marriage, and a sex life one could ever wish of having. Then, things began to change. Warren was always away from home, his appearance changed, and claimed it had to do with his job. With him being apart from her as much as he was, Serenity became frustrated, lonely, and depressed. And felt the one thing that could help her get through those long days away from him was to have a baby. Serenity thought, after explaining to Warren how she felt, things would change. They didn't. She brought up divorce, in which he refused to grant. Then the night of her birthday, the unimaginable happened. As she waited for Warren at her favorite restaurant, an officer came in, informing her Warren was in an accident and that she needed to go in to identify him. In her heart, she never believed he was dead. Serenity always felt she had a stalker, but after Warren's death, it got worse. Twists. Turns. Mystery. Lies, deceit and betrayal....
