Never say I love you. If Grew-Ella tells her best friend, Quig, she loves him, they'll come for her, or worse, him. 
                              Quig and Grew-Ella have been one step ahead of the system, but one wrong move could lead to a fight-to-the-death beauty contest or a workhouse prison.  
                              For Quig, rejection can be fatal. When his fiancée abandoned him at the altar for the king, he needed to come up with a survival plan. 
                             Their secrets are tested when Grew-Ella saves his life. But who will save her from her sister and the sinister evil that lurks behind her plastic smile?

                                           If you're traumatized by fiction with a lack of spicy times, you've been warned. Conform or Suffer is a 14+ adult novel fade to black. 
                                          There is no swearing, extreme gore, or spice. 
                                          Content Warnings: fertility struggles, mild violence, executions, abuse, trauma, rainbow babies, and mentions of human trafficking.  
                                                The main romance is straight, but the secondary relationship is about a lesbian couple. The author is a Christian, and a loved one requested wholesome LGBTQ+ characters that didn't die.

Is It True Love?  by angeldawn09
42 parts Complete
Wendell Chestna is the complete package; he's a beautiful prince with riches and has not a fault inside of him. A made-up fantasy because of his royal position, but he is only human. A high title doesn't just produce false assumptions, but it's quite difficult to determine the sincerity of people's kindness. His father's recent death after a long war leaves Wendell in a stressful predicament. Their law dictates the eldest son must claim the throne upon reaching seventeen years of age, which he will turn in the next three months. Making matters even worse, his mother sets an arranged marriage with some nobleman's daughter. This union would grant them an ally in this nation, all at the cost of her hand, but she is not the girl Wendell plans to wed. Instead, he hopes to make a sweet peasant-one who dwells in the poorest village-his lifelong companion, Kana Littleton. Queen Althelia proposes a simple deal. If the lovestruck boy can get a favorable answer before the set time limit, he is free to espouse her over Blanche. These conditions are generous enough; however, will Kana accept him for the right reasons? Is her love a pure, honest emotion from within or only swayed by his status and wealth? Under a foreign boy persona, Wendell will discover if they're truly meant to marry. But as lies start piling up to conceal his double life, whose heart is really being put to the test? Meanwhile, another war thought to have ended is slowly approaching...

After her mom's remarriage, and moving to a new 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝, humiliation and uneasiness pierces Gabriela's ego. Terrence Maylone seems 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 and 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 on the outside. A creation God definitely took his time on. He's a sports whack and although being a 𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙧, he has respect from his peers. -- "𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭?" Gabriela thought one day, and decided on the first day of the new term, she'd go and join the new 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱, made up of scatters of people she'd hardly talked to before. And although Terrence seems perfectly stoic and careless, inside he is wondering -- 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘦? -- and which friends are real and which aren't. It's like his life has taken a complete turn -- and he's right, once he stumbles upon a makeshift "band" practice -- And meets the sweet, sarcastic girl who "dabbles in a bit of everything".

Untraceable is an award-winning teen wilderness thriller. Uncontrollable (Book 2) & Unstoppable (Book 3) are out. Book 4 is coming soon! :) "With wilderness survival, a juicy love triangle, and more twists and turns than a roller coaster, this fast-paced novel had me holding my breath until the very last page!" - Kimberly Derting (author of the popular Body Finder series, The Pledge series, and her the Taking sci-fi series ) "This thrilling story is a dramatic entanglement of mystery, deception and teen romance. The action flows like a brisk mountain stream interspersed with rapids, holding suspense to last page."- Kirkus Review ======================= Grace has lived in the Smoky Mountains all her life, patrolling with her forest ranger father who taught her about wildlife, tracking, and wilderness survival. When her dad goes missing on a routine patrol, Grace refuses to believe he's dead and fights the town authorities, tribal officials, and nature to find him. One day, while out tracking clues, Grace is rescued from danger by Mo, a hot guy with an intoxicating accent and a secret. As her feelings between him and her ex-boyfriend get muddled, Grace travels deep into the wilderness to escape and find her father. Along the way, Grace learns terrible secrets that sever relationships and lives. Soon she's enmeshed in a web of conspiracy, deception, and murder. And it's going to take a lot more than a compass and a motorcycle (named Lucifer) for this kick-butting heroine to save everything she loves.
