Natalie English was the girl that everyone loved, the one people looked up to, and the one people cared about. Now, it's like that all faded away after the accident, and gone was the girl that always had a smile plastered on her face. The life that Natalie knew before had turned to ash, and suddenly, so did she.
And the only one that could stop the flames was Nolan, the same person that lit the match in the first place.
Nolan Gunner was in it for the revenge. It was the only reason he came back to Manchester, Vermont, until he met her. The golden girl, the woman that looked him in the eyes once and the entire world shifted. He never expected Natalie to crash into his world and burn it to the ground, but she did. Now, this was all his fault, and he would do anything to fix it.
Anything for her.

Ace Of Spades (Complete Raw First Draft, Unedited)
This story sucks, don't read it! It's amazing how quickly your life can change. In a slow town like this, where nothing exciting ever happens, where nothing ever changes, one single moment can alter your life forever, for better, or for worse. Sometimes, we're lucky enough to be able to recognise these particular moments, and take a leap of faith, but, more times than not, they just happen without us even realizing what's going on until it's already too late. Tonight, a simple Saturday night, just like any other, would turn out to be one of the most defining moments of my life. Ace is living a slow life, knowing nothing other than drinking with his friends and the motorcycle club that raised him, waiting to reconnect with his father who has just been released from prison after a fifteen year sentence. Life is simple, though he thought. Until the night he meets Jenna, running from her haunting past and the man that she is desperately trying to escape. Ace is dead set on protecting Jenna, but, as she slowly learns to trust him enough to open up to, he finds himself landing in the middle of a human trafficking operation and a feud that goes way back, between the ringleader and his club. Suddenly, life doesn't seem so simple... Work in progress, especially the blurb! This story has content which may offend some readers. Mild coarse language! Physical and sexual violence! Lots of drug references! First draft! I don't own the cover image! I'm a disappointment to my family!Complete
