Alice Rollens has always dreamed of running. The call of another life outside of her small town of Copper Harbor, Michigan ringing in her ears.
The perfect life, the perfect dream world, it was what she always knew until the night of the accident.
After that night, she had no choice but to listen to her Uncle and run.
For as long as she could, as fast as she could.
Her home as she knew it, was erased.
The town she knew, would always be against her.
William Oliver enjoyed his sheltered, drama free life.
Owner of a small town diner and lover of all things nature, he's happy with how life turned out after the nightmare of his childhood.
He would be content with running the diner into his old age, although feeling like life could be monotonous.
He would be content with the boredom, if it weren't for the bright-eyed woman who ran into his diner panting, cops chasing after her with red faces and profanity.
Alice might be just the change his life needs, something to make him alive again.
William might just be the one person who will ever understand her, and the weight she will carry, and how to maybe let it go.

What if you find yourself at the losing end every time you try what if you are trapped? ......what if you cannot survive the impact of what hit you, what if your last resort is to run...would you?.....that's what veronica does. Veronica has already lost so much that she is used to the blows. Her mother died with prolonged illness when she was a child. An absent rich-father and the horrors of raising her own self amongst many nemesis of her own has caused her to be closed off and alert to the foreboding dangers. And that is when Aaron Flynn comes as a personal gift from Satan to break what was already fragile. She finds herself drawn to him, but hates his cockiness and arrogance while she rejects him continuously, he does something that leaves Veronica astounded. She is bound to him legally. She has no other option but to go his way. Wondering if his harshness with her has any end. Aaron is a paradox for her, he is always alert, never lets her find out what he is hiding. She continues living with him like a soulless body until She finally gets to know the truth. She learns of the truth right when she can finally smile. Perhaps Veronica's fear of ending up regretting the decision's she makes and her bottled emotions are responsible for all that she faces and how she is broken beyond repair this time by her very own father and Aaron Flynn. When she gets to know the game Aaron and her father played with her, will she forgive them or will she lash out?

Christopher Knight lived a life of secrets, rules and vows, even the ones he regrets making. He managed to escape his past and lived a life close to peaceful until a blazing redheaded fire came into his life. He was never meant to be a knight in shining armour but the offer was far more tempting to turn down, especially when it came with secrets waiting to be unveiled. They remember different realities and have different notions of the truth. What happens when two realities come crashing down? Will the story be set straight or will the tangles prove to be far deeper, with no loose ends to be found?

Fast Car | Escapes #1
Jenny Herrington's home isn't what she wished for. It never really has been. Not even before her mom walked out. Her dad is a deadbeat drunk that beats her now that her mom is out of the picture. He relies on Jenny to bring home money at the expense of dropping out of school. Little does he know that she's now a senior and is graduating the week of her 18th birthday. There's one thing Jenny wants out of her life now: an escape. She wants to move out, leave her dad and her job at Milton Foods behind, and start over again somewhere in the Rockies. Preferably somewhere that's not a grocery store. There's just one problem, though: a way to get there. She can't drive and it's not like she has a car, anyway. In the midst of making plans, a storm enters her life by the name of Brayden Milton: her boss' son and possibly one of the most stuck-up people she has ever met. After making her life miserable for weeks, he apologizes and offers to take her anywhere she wants to go to make up for it. Without another choice, she jumps at the offer. After a traumatic night, she leaves with him for what she hopes will be a better life. They eventually find themselves in Denver and in each other's arms. Her life has taken a 180 and she's struggling to keep up. Not only does she have someone who loves her, but her mom is trying to reconnect. However, Brayden can't stay in Denver forever - he has a life back in Rapid Falls that he needs to return to, one he invites her to be part of. Going back means facing all of her jagged edges again. She doesn't think she can face any of it just yet, so he leaves her with her mother and returns home. Despite her attempt at starting a new life, the jagged edges seem determined to cut her even deeper. Not even Brayden's car seems fast enough to outrun everything in her past that's still trying to dictate her future. - Irregular updates!
Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete
Deal With It ✓
COMPLETED Living a life you didn't sign up for is hard, but doing so while feeling lost is harder. Dylan Amity is a musical prodigy. He could play a range of instruments, from the electric guitar to his violin. He lived, ate, and breathed music and was on track to becoming the orchestra's lead violinist. He was ready to become one of history's best composers. But he decided to place his dreams on hold for a while when he found out that his dad, the CEO of Amity Industry, was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer. His dad's death was expected, but the way he died wasn't. After the reading of the will, Dylan is faced with the harsh reality that you don't always get what you want. Following a short period of grief, Dylan is thrust into a world of business, responsibilities, and guardianship. He never wanted to be CEO, but now he has to because it's what his dad wanted. He also never expected to be Amber's, his thirteen-year-old sister's, legal guardian. Dylan has to put his dreams aside as he learns to navigate his new life without any experience of being a CEO or a guardian. Without a guide, Dylan is bound to feel lost, but maybe Rose could help. Maybe she could teach him how to deal with it. ••• Sneak Peek: "You know what, Amber? At least I'm fucking trying!" I gritted out, meeting her eyes that practically blazed with fury. "Yeah! Trying to act like papa. But guess what, Dylan, you never cared about me or what I did!" She screamed, taking steps back towards the stairs. "You never cared when I was a baby, you didn't care when I was a toddler, and guess what! You don't care now. You're only pretending to care to make yourself feel better. But you don't! No one fucking cares."Complete
My Possessive Mobster✔️
"I-I should be heading to my room now." I told him not in anyway ready to face him. "Turn around." He instructed. "Your fiancee may w-wake up soon to use t-the bathroom or discover no ones t-there." This would definitely not be a good look. Stop stuttering, I mentally chanted. "She won't." Was his response. "Please, I must head back to my r-room." I informed him, it had already been too long since we were in the bathroom alone. "You won't be getting out of here until you comply with my instructions." He informed. What game was he playing! I obliged and did what he said slowly turning around with my eyes tightly. *********** Unedited! Exclusively signed to wattpad.Complete
Heirs And Hunters
"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
