"A Journey for happiness only to discover dreams can be prophetic in the most unexpected way."
***
Annie Miller has always imagined her happiness lies under a Sugar Maple tree in Autumn as its leaves change colors. This is why when a chance to leave her small southern town and head north arises, she takes it.
Unexpected challenges arise, though, when she meets a surly professor who doesn't understand why anyone would want to sit around and, "watch leaves on a tree die."
Can the sassy and spirited Annie melt this professor's heart with the fire of an amber leaf? Or will a string of events lead him to cool more than ever before?

It's always been difficult since your husband in the story is a greedy, selfish and manipulative jerk that doesn't want you to succeed because he knows you will be amazing at whatever you do. You quickly make friends with your English Professor and after learning about what's going on at him he decides to help you. But that act of caring and compassion sends your husband over the deep end and starts beating you. How will your professor act? How does he fall for you? What happens with the abusive husband? You'll have to read to find out. I'm using myself as the model for the main character simply because I believe myself to be a relatable person. When I did go to college there were a lot of older people there and it's easy to get caught up in a romance that involves adults. Here's a little fantasy, made up, never gonna happen in real life love story that's more for teens/young adults/ adults since it involves college. I decided to make it college so there isn't really a age issue since both parties will be adults. DON'T JUDGE ME! This book is just for fun and has nothing to do with real life. *****There will be adult themes! Meaning swearing, fighting, abuse and sex!

The Way Love Changes You; Book One: Love's Firsts
Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on? [Content/Trigger Warnings- the main warnings are scenes of sexual activity, and suicidal talk/attempt, along with mentions of said attempt. Everything else is listed inside the book! Please read the list before reading the book!] [Word count: +140,000 words...I write a lot, but enjoy anyway!]Complete
Driven to Distraction
Alex Thompson was due to marry her high school sweet heart Eric Ramirez. Period. That's it. It's about as exciting as her life ever got really. She had a job, a good job but an unconscious reality was that she was bored. She had her back blown out once every three months, if that, and an overbearing mother who made her life hell. *enter Mitch* Eve 'Mitch' Mitchell. An outgoing, strong minded, independent, raging homosexual, lover to all, charming British soul. They meet by accident after a tough day at the office for Alex. A mistaken identity was all it took for a tiny little kiss. A moment blown all out of proportion for the Christian-bred Miss Thompson and her life turns more miserable than she anticipated for every time she turned around...Mitch was there behind her. Something about Mitch was new and fresh and her soul was just what Alex needed (little did she know). Secrets from the past are brought to the surface. A sad ending to a young lady's life. A realisation that family isn't always blood related. Alcohol isn't a medicine. Violence isn't a key. Hearts were never meant to be broken. Two things to take away: you never know what is going on in someone's head and the most important thing...you never know what happens behind closed doors. A/N just a random story about two people who meet accidentally. Plays with gender norms and very inclusive of LGBTQ (being a member myself). Could be triggering I'm not sure as some identity questions are thrown around. It does include smoking, drinking, some homophobia, profanities, violence and smut. Also anything in brackets with A/N means authors note and that's just me leaving a little comment. Enjoy...Complete
