"Of three things, I was positively certain. First; monsters were real. Secondly; Arthur was one of them. And the third truth? He was the only one I was safe with."


I had never fit in, ever since I was a little girl I'd felt like I was restrained to the outskirts of society- I was other. When my disastrous engagement came to a violent end and I became even more of a town pariah, I was ready to pack my bags and hit the road. And then Arthur Mason took a couple bullets for me, and every thing changed.

Within each other Arthur and I found a relief from our solitary existence, and with every truth we uncovered about one another our bond grew stronger. Neither of us were ready for what our hearts wanted, but there was no stopping the love that unfurled between us. And both of us would need to fight tooth and claw to protect it.

I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her.

I guess a lot of things can happen behind closed doors --------- Excerpt from book: I was writing when a presence shocked me when I heard the chair pull out next to me it was him but I didn't look but I still could smell the coconut and wood scented aftershave ;it caught me off guard but proceeded to strangle me as I tried to ignore his god like figure next to me until I heard the most velvet and gooey voice ever say "hey what is your name?" I just looked up from my book and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear "M.maly" I said I started to stutter what the hell I never stutter "a beautiful name for a beauty" I blushed harder no one has ever said that to me before but I could feel the bruises and cuts dig into me reminding myself of the way I'm suppose to behave around people and I went back to writing in my book. ---------- This is not based off real events but made up and severely exaggerated Hope you like this story don't forget to read and vote on my story and comment I will answer all questions Don't forget to vote and comment would really appreciate it

Hey there folks, I'm Cody Phillips, welcome to New Orleans. N'awlins is known for many wonderful things, our coffee, music and the ability to throw a damn fine party. We're also known as the city most people believe may be one of the most haunted places in the world. Well, let me tell you this, we have more than our fair share. I know because I can see them. But, listen, don't spread that around. Yeah? It's been a closely guarded family secret my whole life. Not even my best friend knows this about me. See, I use my 'gift' in my work as a homicide detective with NOLA's finest boys in blue. Now, I understand why you might call it cheating, and that's fine. But I always catch the bad guy with the victim telling me everything I need to know and give the family involved closer. So it evens out as far as I can tell. Now just as my life is moving slower than a gator with a full belly, the worst happens. I get the call about a homicide that's hit too close to home. It leaves the girl of my dreams coming home to face tragedy. The moment I see her I find myself reminded of the one secret no one ever knew. Ever since I was eight years old I have felt many different things for Emma O'Neal, and those feelings haven't disappeared with time. Problem is now that she's come home; I find myself fighting not only an unknown assailant out for blood, my partner's misguided beliefs but my own need for the enticing beauty I'm duty sworn to protect. Damn, I just hope I'm able to fight the feelings I have for this woman, and stay focused on the case. Otherwise, I might end up losing something far more precious to me than the honor I've worked so hard for: Emma's life.
