Clove lived a life of luxury, hidden away in her brother's castle, shielded from the world. Though everything she could ever want was at her fingertips, she yearned for something more-a glimpse of the world outside, a life beyond the walls that kept her confined. Her brother, a feared and powerful man, believed she was too innocent for the dangers beyond their home and kept her sheltered from everything.
When her brother left on a journey, Clove saw an opportunity to escape. But her fleeting freedom quickly turned into a nightmare, as she found herself in a dark and unfamiliar city, where danger lurked at every corner. Amidst the chaos, a stranger appeared-a boy whose true intentions were unclear. Can she trust him, or has she walked right into the hands of a greater threat?

Sweetheart
[COMPLETE] 18+ (but if you're not 18, I won't tell on you) --- It had been a mistake. It had all happened so fast. The look on her parents' faces when they found out had been devastating. Perhaps that was why she didn't complain when they decided to send her to a small village in Canada, away from the chaotic and luxurious Los Angeles, with the excuse of being an exchange student for a year. Grace Castle was more than happy to welcome Elizabeth "Lizzie" Wright in her modest house, along with her son Nate and, well, Aaron. It had been 2 years since Grace had taken in the troubled 18-year-old boy, after the tragedy that had occurred to him and his family. Dark and untamable like smoke, Aaron was the exact opposite of Lizzie, groomed to be the perfect woman, always following the rules, and stepping out of line only that one time. One time that cost her a year away from her old city, far away from curious ears and judging eyes. A year that was going to change her life completely, tumbling into a den of lions ready to devour her as soon as they had her in their pack as one of their own. He would not let her have it easy. It was time for sweet, docile Lizzie to face the world and its snakes. He'd make sure of that. Though... was he sure she was not just yet another wolf in a sheep's clothing? Was her heart as pure as he believed, or could it be shaded with swirls of gray smoke like his? ---Complete

TWO
Everyone knows the story of Katniss, but what about Clove? Told in Clove's POV is her story about her life before the games and the hardships she had to face, only to face the greatest fear of all. Death. DISCLAIMER: This story will follow the book/movie during the games, but this is also one out of the two books about Clove. In my second book I completely re-write the series to fight how I imagine the world of Panem being. Please be mindful that this story has strong language, sexual scenes, and gore. *NOTE 3/3/2020: I wrote this years ago and its so so so bad. lmao. i actually cringe reading it, so fair warning to any newcomers.... it's not the best! thanks for reading though. it means a lot. love you guys! xxComplete
Crown of Fate: The Resilient Princess
No one can outrun fate, and love often arrives as an uninvited guest, a quiet visitor in the midst of chaos. Where others cling to vengeance, she has chosen peace; while some seek power, she finds strength in family. He is a figure once feared-ruthless, cunning, and powerful, a former king of the underworld now seeking redemption within the tangled web of politics, a place as dangerous as his past. She, resilient and breathtakingly gifted, has turned tragedy into purpose, using her healing touch to save lives after losing her own family to violence. Their worlds couldn't be more different-one, a storm of shadows, the other, a refuge of light. Yet, in a world fraught with contradictions, they've found each other. Together, they are both the calm and the chaos, the fire and the water, soulmates bound by fate even as the world conspires to keep them apart.Complete
