Yari had a secret.
She was 'illegal'
It had damned her future ever since she was young, limited her and bound her to the safe environment her parents had created, even when she yearned for the stars.
But it was all she hid, one secret that could ruin her life.
Until last fall, after a cruel day and a joke that goes too far, and then Yari is left keeping more secrets than she knows how to bottle away.
Isai Reynolds saw right through them all. He figured her out in a way that no longer made her feel like she was about to unravel, but right as those feelings of comfort start to turn into something more, Isai's own demons come back to haunt him.
Caught up in a turbulent first love, Yari doesn't see the tidal wave that threatens to drown her, or the secrets her family has been keeping from her. Not until it's too late, and her life starts chipping apart.

But what if loving him is the thing that destroys her? Althea's life was never meant to be normal.

But now, their fates are entangled-and something far darker is watching. As buried memories surface and the truth about her parents' death unravels, Althea finds herself caught between love and destiny, betrayal and survival. Calix may be her only hope... or the reason she falls. In a world where souls are cursed and fate is written in blood, love isn't salvation-it's the beginning of the end.

"What I'm about to tell you, you can't tell anyone else. My life depends on it. One slip, and I'll cease to exist.

One wrong move and everything could go immensely wrong. The only person she dares to trust, Axel, is the only other one like her kind. Having to live a lie is catching up with her.

Someone else who might turn out to her unknowing savior -- or ruin. But when Axel suddenly disappears, it'll take all her wits to find him. She'll have to battle her new-found feelings every step of the way. It might even take revealing her darkest secret to her rescuer. June teams up with an unlikely band, tracking down Axel's path and fighting his captors for his rescue. Will she succeed? It's anyone's guess. * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * My vision was growing ever more blurry with each second that passed. Breathing seemed like a luxury now and my legs wanted to give out and let me collapse. Almost there. We were so close. So close. I fell, completely spent. Axel glanced over his shoulder and screeched to a halt, sprinting back over. I could see the worry in his eyes. I could faintly hear him calling my name. My body was throbbing as I gazed with glazed eyes at the street tiles. The last thing I saw before my vision turned dark was dirty blonde hair and a pair of sky blue eyes. * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * Updates every SaturdayComplete

Dangerously Yours[Dave East]

Everything changes the night she crosses paths with him. He isn't a coworker or a friend of a friend he's just there. A stranger who feels familiar. The type who doesn't say much, but when he does, it hits deep. He carries himself with strength, someone who's clearly lived through things but wears it with pride. There's a mystery about him, the kind that makes Maria's heart race in a way Mike never could. Now Maria is torn. The hood has rules, and leaving Mike isn't just about breaking up it's about risking her safety, her reputation, maybe even her future. But the more she tastes freedom, the more she realizes she can't keep living in fear.

I apologize beforehand.
