Colors of the Heart
Mia Harper has always preferred the quiet. While the halls of Brookfield High buzz with life, she stays on the edges, content with her sketchbook and the silent beauty of the world around her. Art is her escape, her way of expressing emotions she can't put into words. She's never needed attention-until James Carter walks into her life. James is everything Mia isn't-confident, charismatic, and effortlessly admired. As the new student, he quickly becomes the center of attention, but behind his easy smile is a boy weighed down by expectations. He's spent his whole life trying to be perfect, but when he stumbles upon Mia in the art room, he sees something different. Something real. What begins as quiet curiosity turns into an unexpected connection. James is drawn to Mia's world of color and imagination, and Mia finds herself stepping outside her comfort zone in ways she never imagined. But letting someone in isn't easy, and both must face their fears-Mia's fear of being seen and James's fear of not living up to who he's supposed to be. Colors of the Heart is a story of contrasts, connection, and the beauty of seeing the world through someone else's eyes.Complete![Identity Crisis [TEMPORARILY DISCONTINUED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/233634454-256-k104535.jpg)

Sacrilege
Evelyn, a successful yet reclusive businesswoman, joins a group trek into the wilderness despite her disdain for people. When they stumble upon a decayed chapel hidden in the woods, strange things begin to happen. Unseen forces prey on their darkest fears and secrets, driving the group toward madness. As paranoia builds and people begin to disappear, Evelyn must uncover the truth about the chapel's sinister power-before it consumes them all. TW: Warning: This novel contains graphic depictions of violence, extreme gore, themes of suicide, rape, and sex. It also explores sensitive topics related to religion that may be disturbing to some readers. Please take heed: this is a work of fiction, and all characters and places are entirely imagined. If you dare to continue past this point, be prepared to face the kind of terror that will make you reconsider why you ever thought diving into a book by yours truly was a good idea. After all, I'm not responsible for the sleepless nights and psychological scarring you may encounter-consider this your friendly warning! Proceed at your own risk.

Twisted Deception
[Book #1 of Twisted Deception] "You people don't know a damn thing about us, don't even speak." **** Everyone knows that high school is always something to dread. GPA, friends, enemies, prom, graduation, everything that you think would make high school good and bad for the future. Now scratch off friends, GPA, prom, and graduation. Why would you scratch them off? Because everything else will be the only thing that's important when you get to this high school. Saint Johnathan Pier is the one high school in the city where everything happens and normally, stuff you wish you didn't see. Everyone warned people about the dangers of the students going there but did they ever mention the people already broken by it? They were dubbed "the rainbow colors of society" just because they were different from other students in this school. But there's a slight differential between them: four of these students are popular while the other four are normal. While the four populars are seen as "superior, hot, and intimidating", the four normals are seen as "weirdos, weaklings, and irreverent bystanders". Being different from the other kids has always been a struggle for all of them since grade school, but they try to keep that out of mind. But with their dark history following them at every corner, making new friends can't be on their list. Matter of fact, it isn't an option. Especially when their attitudes are what drive people away rather than in. Not like they're complaining though. When these eight students get paired up for an end of the year assignment, they encounter a lot of drama that will test their relationships to the max. What will happen to them? Can they grow comfortable with each other? Can these troubled teens even be friends in the first place? Come along on the journey as these eight try to survive their last year of high school. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️: This contains strong language, mentions of rape, bullying, etc.Complete

More Than Fine. (Complete)
Sometimes we hold ourselves back. We tell ourselves we're fine, when the reality is we're just barely getting by. We're living in a world of grey, when color is within our reach. We can be our own worst enemy by holding onto our past and letting it define us, instead of letting it go, and redefining who we are... changing the narrative. In the darkest places there is hope, beauty can rise from ashes. Gia, fresh out of college, is stuck in that cycle, but a one year internship in NYC sets this southerner up for an adventure that holds the key to letting go of her past... if she'll open herself up and take the chance. Her adventure is filled with the highs and lows of life... friendship, love, hurt, betrayal. How will those around her be affected by her life choices, and how will their lives intersect Gia's to determine her future? #christiancommunityComplete
