Christine Clarke is a 35-year old tailor who hasn't had so much luck in the search of the love of her life. On the other hand, there's news that torments her: a criminal abuses and kills women very similar to her.
One day, one of her friends proposes her a blind date that she herself has arranged for her and Christine accepts without much hope. The date is a complete mismatch that makes her feel uncomfortable, and she is too polite to leave. But then an attractive man appears and saves the situation by making an excuse up.
They leave the café together...
Has she finally found her knight in shining armour, is he just another man on the list of failures... or maybe he's hiding something?

Cassie (Book #1 of the "Cassie" Series)
"Alright, I'll start with an introduction to me and all the people I'm gonna tell you about, so errrr, welcome, I guess? I'm Cassie Langer, I'm seventeen, and I'm an aspiring fashion designer doing my senior year at Crestville High in some town in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. I won't bore you with the long-winded description of what I look like, this isn't My Immortal and my name isn't Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Cassie always faded into the background of life, mostly only interacting with her inner circle of close friends and seeing herself invisible to everyone else at Crestville High, and that's how she likes it. So imagine her surprise when her former friend and long-time crush - kind-hearted jock Ryan Park - decides to reconnect with her. As Cassie's growing connection with Ryan draws more attention to her, she starts gaining the confidence to take on her bullies and break out from her shell. However as she grows closer to Ryan, her close and protective childhood friend Chad Hills starts showing his own feelings for Cassie. Will she continue seeing where things go with her self-described "perfect man", or find herself falling harder for her best friend. This is the first of a series. I decided not to dump the entire story that I have planned out into one and split it into several different ones. So consider this as Cassie Book #1. This story as well as the series as a whole blends silly humor, cuteness, and also some pretty dark storylines, if you're into that kind of stuff. Also, this book makes use of music, so every chapter has a song that correlates with the story being told. I do not own any of the music or song lyrics used and every song used is linked in the chapter, all rights belong to the artists and composers :) ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: November 10, 2020 EDITED: November 21, 2022Complete

Stranger Not So Danger
"When I first met you, you were a complete stranger. But through time, I thought I really started to get to know you. To know the way you react to things, the way you look to the side when you're nervous, and ultimately, the way you feel about me. But, right now, after all that you've said, you feel more like a stranger to me than you ever did before." I can't believe those words just came out of my mouth. I was hurt, and my heart was shattered like a hammer colliding with a mirror. Broken, by one of the only people I trusted would never break me. ~~~~~ Lindsey Grey was regretting going to the basketball game in the first place.
