An Exchange of Power by deadlyblackdiamond

Doors are slamming in her face faster than she can run. With no legal help, Jacklynn finds herself reliant on a band of criminals to help her get to the bottom of this mystery.

Or will earth-shattering secrets leave her paralyzed in this fast, dangerous life?

Spilt Wine by ZonderZorg

The disappearance of a friend and millions of Francs worth of wine interrupts David's buying trip in France when he pauses to assist and comfort his friend's wife, Catherine. Their lives are threatened, the intensifying circumstances draw them closer together, and they uncover their buried traumas, insecurities and longings. This is a tale of mounting tensions, realisations and passions woven through a gripping crime thriller set on the Burgundy canals and in the French wine business of the 1980s. Although this is a work of fiction, most of the locations, adventures and characters are real or based on reality. David's behaviour and interactions are influenced by his autism, alexithymia and asexuality, which were much less understood when this story is set, and I write these from my own experience. The reminiscences, stories and timeline follow events from my own life, though sometimes they're slightly juggled to fit the crafting of this novel. Fortunately, the crimes and the criminals are fictional, and any resemblance to actual people or events is purely coincidental.

Of Kings and Aces by ClaireMonday2468

What does it take to change the course of a person's life? One small, seemingly trivial decision. For Jacob, it was when he decided to play a game of poker in a new city he was supposed to call home for the next few years. But he was at the wrong place, at the wrong time. For Ace, it was when he drove to a different city in the middle of the night to collect an employee from a police station. A man he believed he's never even met but whose eyes had already imprinted on him a few nights prior. Two people, brought together by simple decisions that rippled and entwined them. Two decisions that landed them as indispensable pieces in a wild game of chess against each other. One night. One game. One web of deception that led to a series of life-changing lethal events. One goal: to protect their king. ♤♡♧♢

Girls Astray. [Complete] by NatalieJennifer7

What would you do to disappear? What would you give up in order to start over? Popularity, your adoring best friend, the hottest guy in school? That is exactly what Lolita gives up when she goes missing. Why would the girl who seems to have everything give it all up? Disappear, just like that. Lolita and Amy are best friends who write a popular teen blog together. One day Amy's life is turned upside down when her whirlwind of a best friend goes missing. Join Amy on her hunt for Lolita and discover her secrets on the way. 'I was dead. Or as far as everyone knew I was. Everything worked like clockwork; just as I planned; people are predictable, aren't they?' - Lolita, That Girl. Author's note below- Thank you for taking a chance on 'Girls Astray'. It's a story close to my heart as it deals with mental health, which is a subject that I think people need to have more conversations about. This is a first draft so it's a flawed and a little incomplete here and there. (Much like myself it's a work in progress). If you enjoy it (which I hope you will) please comment and vote. Also I love feedback, feedback is my friend. ? Cover by the talented @annie-Joyce This story came third place in The Teen Fiction awards ❤️
