"I didn't ask for this!" I glared at the ground as I kicked a stone down the path. Leaves crunched under my boots as we walked.

Beside me, Rowan raised an eyebrow. "Nobody said you did."

"Well, it sure feels like the universe has it out for me," My voice shook with frustration. "Every plan I make - Boom! Gone. Just like that."

We stepped into a clearing, sunlight filtering through the trees. I paused, heart pounding. "I can't keep things that aren't my fault."

Rowan shrugged, hands in pockets. "Maybe stop trying to fix it, then."

I bit my lip, staring at the sky. "Maybe I should."

***

In the heart of Harrowmoor, a quaint town nestled in the shadow of the mountains, old wounds fester and buried secrets stir. Magnolia Slate, a newcomer to the town, finds herself drawn into a web of ancient rivalries, whispered betrayals, and a mystery older then the town itself. As tensions rise and the past comes clawing back, Magnolia must decide if she will unravel the truth - or be consumed by it.

"But just look at the world around you, Love. There's messes everywhere with unclear answers. Don't give up yet." She told me gently. "I know, but I just wish that this was less confusing." "Well, things are gonna get confusing after a while, but you can't just stop trying. You've got to search harder for the answer; maybe it's somewhere you haven't looked yet. Someday you'll trip over a rock that's harder than this, and bandaids won't just stare you in the face. You won't know what to do. So prepare yourself for that day, baby." "I'm gonna trip over a rock?" I asked, eyes widening with worry. She shook her head, the bubbly symphony of her laughs echoing in the room. "No. I mean you're going to be in trouble one day and you won't know how to get out of it. Like this, but tougher." "You mean I'll have to go through this again? But even harder? Ugh, I won't make it." I sighed heavily. "No. I know you will. It just won't be so black and white. It'll be....in between the two." "So it'll be just grey?" She revealed her big, beautiful smile to me as if I had understood all that is right and wrong in the world. Kissing the top of my head, she whispered, "Exactly." {full synopsis inside} Rankings- #16 in juveniles #94 in newkid #241 in multimedia FULLY EDITED VERSION NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON KINDLE!!

Robin found herself tied in a web of danger and desire. It all started innocently enough; a chance encounter with a mysterious lover from one of the most dangerous gangs sent her world spiraling into chaos. Robin found herself entangled in a forbidden romance that transcended the boundaries of safety and sanity. As her relationship with her lover deepened, Robin unwittingly became a target in a deadly game of power and control between two rival gangs. Caught in the crossfire of their brutal wars, she found herself torn between her loyalty to her lover and her desire to end the bloodshed tearing her city apart. ❀ꗥ～ꗥ❀ 𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐈𝐍 ❀ꗥ～ꗥ❀ I chuckled nervously, realizing I had indeed omitted that detail. "Fine, so when am I going to see you?" I asked, pushing aside my doubts and hoping for a different answer this time. There was a pause on the other end of the line before Bobby replied, his tone serious. "I can't promise you that, sweetheart." His response stung, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of hurt. "You don't trust me, do you?" I asked, my voice tinged with disappointment. But there was no reply. "Hello?" I prompted, hoping for some reassurance. ©Krystalfrancis2020 (NB: THIS BOOK WAS REWRITTEN FROM MY ORGINAL PROFILE. THIS IS THE NEW VERSION OF THE BOOK DUE TO ADJUSTMENTS)

Gabriel had stopped typing, his fingers frozen above the keyboard. But what really held my attention were his eyes.

Dimples. "Crush my balls?" "No... I... uh meant that-" I straightened up, trying to regain my composure.
