"If only my husband were alive, this would have never happened. If only I hadn't yearned for the touch of a man. If only I hadn't felt so alone. If only I wasn't scared of falling in love again. If only I hadn't fallen into a monster's trap. Then, maybe...just maybe, we would be safe."
Ember, a widowed mother, scared of falling in love again. Tyler, a playboy, falling in love. Where do we hide when the monsters hide behind caring faces?

Hot Mess
With debt collectors on my back and a pizza habit I can no longer support, I need cash. And I need it fast. I'm not giving up my pizza habit just because I can't touch my trust fund yet and the bank want to take my house. Me and pizza? We're soulmates. I'd rather live in a tent than cancel my twice weekly pizza delivery. So there's only one logical solution. Rent out the mansion my parents left me when they died. Of course it has to be Tate Montgomery that moves in-the super sexy celebrity with three million, five hundred and twenty-six thousand followers on Instagram. The only model that warrants post notifications switched. And of course I have to be the paint-covered walking disaster who falls for said famous tenant. The problem? Tate and I, we're not compatible...at all. He's arrogant. I'm stubborn. It's a train wreck waiting to happen. Yet, I end up kissing him anyway. Told you I was a mess.Complete
Behind Closed Doors
I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family. In an attempt to find light in her situation, she makes friends with one of the members. Logan Grant was forced into the gang at the young age of 16. He was abused until he became emotionless and ruthless, so that one day, he could rule the gang. Everything was going smoothly until Skylar is brought in. With a blindfold wrapped around her head, he instantly feels bad for her, though he cannot show it. Afraid of getting caught, he shows no emotion while others are around. Though, behind closed doors is a whole other story.Complete

Waiting on forever (18+) {Urban Romance}
"They say it's better to have love and lost than to have never loved at all. To that I say, the person who first said that shit had never experienced what I had because If they had, I'm sure they would rather have gone back to the beginning. Praying that you didn't bump into that person on that street, that you just kept walking. Unfortunately, things don't work out like that.. I guess you can tell this is a love story or you could just say it's a couple of fools in a bubble with each other, whatever the choice.. this is far from an ordinary romance."

Grifter|| A Love Story||
We were a team. A confidence team, gaining your trust and ripping you off for every penny we could squeeze out of you. Stealing millions between pickpocketing, elaborate schemes against the rich, and knocking off banks; we made it big. We were good, really good at what we did. This time we were too greedy. We couldn't pass up a 4 million dollar art con. Each couple would have walked away with 2 million dollars and we could have settled down and finally started the family we had talked about for years. But he disappeared......in the middle of the night, abandoning me. Until he returned with a bullet hole in his arm and desperation in his eyes. Begging me to help him one last time, but could I ever forgive him? Could I ever look past his betrayal of leaving me in Tennessee to fend for myself and fight off the cops myself? ●●●●●●●●●●●●●● "What were the first words you ever spoke to me?" He asked softly, his thumbs wiping away the wetness from my cheeks. "No." I choked out. "Don't! I don't want to say it." "You said...Hi, my name is Alexis and I just moved into my grandparent's house across the street. Can I play with you? And I knew the moment I laid eyes on you...." "You were 10 years old, you didn't know shit." I croaked. "I may have been 10, but I knew a beautiful girl when I saw one. And you blew the rest of the world out of the water. I may have saved you by leaving you in Tennessee, but at least you still had your grandparents. I had no one if I didn't have you."Complete
