In the heart of Kabul, where class divides run deep and secrets can be deadly, one servant girl must hide her truth to survive.
Coming of age while pretending to be a boy, she must also endure the relentless demands of servitude and the weight of being from the lower class. Among snobby children and cruel bullies determined to break her determination, she quietly locks it all in, until the storm within her can no longer be suppressed. In a world built to keep her small, her truth might be her only chance at freedom.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you if you behave."
He waited for me to say something, so I nodded.
"Why are you pretending to be a boy?" He asked, seeing genuinely confused.
I don't answer because, honestly, I didn't understand either, but my mom had said
"A fox among wolves had to pretend to be one of them to survive."

Fight for Her
~~~ Ryder's face turned angry as he pushed me back up against a wall. His face hovered inches from mine. I could feel his hot breath on my lips that smelled like cinnamon. With his chest pressed up against mine, my heart was beating rapidly while he smirked and leaned closer, if that was even possible. "Don't mess with me Ruby. You won't like the consequences." "And what would those be?" I asked breathlessly. His lips brushed against my ear and I drew in a breath. I could feel him smiling. "You'll see." ~~~ Ryder Daniels is arrogant, cocky, and your typical bad boy. He fights, rides a motorcycle, and attracts as many girls as a local Starbucks would. With his Greek God body, every girl falls for him, but he only breaks their hearts by playing them. Ruby Buchanan is the new girl, but not the nerdy one that would get picked on, but a fighter. After her parent's divorce, she had to move from sunny California to cold Pennsylvania. The only way she can get the stress and frustration out from her is to fight. With an unexpected run in with the school's hot 'bad boy', she needs to stay away from this annoying prick with his perfect looks and smirk. She also unfortunately finds out that he's her neighbor. But after spending time with Ryder, will she be able to keep her feelings at bay? Or will she realize that there are deeper feelings toward Ryder than she thought? And when Ryder finds out the twisted past about Ruby, will he run to the hills, or fight for her?

Finding Happiness (Book 1 comes before and ties in to You Series)
The second I saw her my skin heated and heart skipped a beat. I knew I had to know who she was. I knew I just needed to be near her. After my horrible marriage I knew getting involved with anyone was the worst thing I could possibly do. The problem was the girl of my dreams was standing right in-front of me partially guarded. She knew my family and knew about my past which should scare me away, but it doesn't it only draws me closer to her. My brother is getting married, I'm the best man, she's the maid of honor. If I screw this up even a little bit everyone is going to have my ass. The second I saw him my mouth went dry. His sculpted arms in that t-shirt covered in ink, my body was telling me to run the other way, to not get involved with this gorgeous dangerous man with a military past. Those gorgeous blue eyes however pulled me in and saw right through every part of me. He's my best friends soon to be brother-in-law, and I have legal custody of a child that isn't mine. Nobody wants to be with a single mom these days, what makes him any different?Concluida
The Bad Boy Saved My Life
#1 in the series || "Are you going to leave?" I asked, looking up into his eyes. "Never." He said, a tired smile spread across his face. "Don't make promises you can't keep." I said looking down, and I felt him tense up. "I don't break my promises." -Emma and Brody- (Highest rank in teen fic #98) (Highest rank in humor #31) I wrote this when I was a lot younger and inexperienced, if you're going to complain that it is cringe worthy, DO NOT READ! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! P.s. can you do me a favor and not cuss in your comments? Unedited btw. Previous Covers by @jellycat7483 and @niallslilgurlConcluida
Blood For Blood - (Number 1 in the Kanin Series)
*COMPLETED* "Will you ever get tired of saving my life, hero?" My voice didn't sound like my own. "I'm not a hero, quite the opposite really." He shook his head and his voice was merely a whisper. "I can see the good in you." I told him. "Not everyone is a good person, Kanin. Some people are just bad and there's nothing you can do to change that." He sounded defeated. "You're not one of those people, Jax." I pleaded with him. "You're right." He looked away from me and to the impenetrable darkness before us, like he could see something. "I'm worse." I didn't say anything else. I closed my eyes tight and fell asleep to the beating of his heart against my ear. *** (My beautiful cover was made by @XbeautificationsX)Concluida
The Street Fighter *Original Version*
BEWARE, this is the very bad version I wrote when I was 15 years old but I did rewrite it now that I'm 20 and I promise that one makes much more sense! New version is called At All Costs you can find it on my profile! What I see in the mirror is nothing special. I see a girl with dark brown almost black hair, with brown eyes that have been dull for years. I sigh and raise my shirt so I can see the bruises from my opponent last night. If you haven't guessed yet I am a street fighter and a good one at that. I fight in a place called The Underground where my manager Smith sets up my fights. Although I'm only 5'3, I still only fight with men. For me that means more money that I win. Did I mention I am undefeated at The Underground? No, well I am and almost everyone places their bets on me. Or should I say placed because me and my family are moving across the country to New York which means I have to find a new place to fight and make money. That was really my only problem with moving because I don't have any friends here, it's not like people haven't tried I just don't like getting to close to people. Although my family still doesn't know about my street fighting, we still are very close after what happened with my father. They left but I know they will come back and finish what they started and that's why I started street fighting. I need to be able to protect me and my family when they do come back. I'm not letting my family get hurt this time.Concluida
Fated Under The Dark Sky
This is my first book... :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friends, love, hope and dreams are the four pillars of teenage. While they mold the life for better for most of us, it was nothing less than a nightmare for her. She, who thought was cursed and shouldn't even have existed. She, who was named a devil; whose past hovered above her, burdened her and haunted her each time she thought of living a normal life. When having a boyfriend was as normal as breathing for her friends, it was something abstract for her; unrealistic, out of her league. Thus, plastering a smile on her face, veiling her dreadful existence, she quietly lived; existed. She, who desperately tried to hide her secret, once dared to swim against the current, proposed her first crush in high school and got stabbed by that same person. The person whom she loved, trusted. When her first crush publicly degraded her, broadcasting her past to the entire school; something died within her. Her hope. To love and to live a normal life. She was broken - beyond repair. After she moved to her new life in London, she thought she had left everything behind in India, only until she met him. ------------ Copyright © Radhika Acharya All rights to this book are reserved *** Do not copy my work.
