Her Protector
Theodore Lee, a 28-year-old marine, has survived battlefields abroad, but has been more wounded from the toxic relationships he's endured. Still, his heart wants love. Theodore is patient, willing to wait for his right woman rather than indulging in meaningless flings as the rest of his friends. When he loves, he protects fiercely-whether on the battlefield or in the heart. Coach Wang, a 24-year-old law student, has seen too much darkness in her short life. Trauma and betrayal have taught her that men can't be trusted to protect her heart. She's learned to shield herself, relying on no one but herself to stay safe. But when her path crosses with a tall, broad marine, she begins to question whether she has to face the world alone. Maybe this one man wasn't just someone who could break through her walls-maybe he was someone who could shield her from the storms she'd weathered for far too long.

If only he told her
TW: this story contains suicide, sh, sexual assault and abuse- please do not read if you are not okay with those! She felt like she was always alone, like she had no one. And she almost did. Her life was like a shit show, her mum was a crack head and was in a mental institution. Her dad- after finding out about her brother- was hardly ever there, and when he was, he was drunk. She lived her life on her own, doing her own shopping, her own cooking and had her own job. He had a lot of friends. But he still felt alone, they never really understood him, or his life. They were friends at least, but he would never call them close. He lived with his mother after his dad left him as a child. They had a big house- his mum worked as an assistant and was very highly paid. His mum did most of what he needed, but they didn't see each other much- she was too busy wrapped up in her job. He saw her everyday, walking down the school corridor, with her head down. His friends laughed at her and so he laughed too. Only to hide how he really felt. He loved her. And he didn't know how. But will it be too late when he finally decides to tell her? Please do not use this story for anything. You can not take credit for this, I have written it with my own ideas.

Light My Heart
It was an accident...... just a small accident. I was clumsy and naughty and due to that I saw the light fade from my eyes day after day until it was dark. Now the dark and I are forever attached. I'm starting to forget my parents' faces and now I might not see them at all. ~ Maite * In a dark world she's in and a dark world she's experienced, Maite didn't think Xander would be the man to bring her a new light. With what she's already heard about him, she didn't think he'd bring even a spark at all. All she was sure of is that he'd bring fire. The fire that draws women in. He is an expert after all. She knew she had to stay away from that but after things happening, that fire felt more like a warmth keeping her intact. Keeping her from her dark, cold reality. She finally had something to lean on, to be her eyes. Little did she know that he was blinded with his own demons. In the end, a blind can't lead a blind lest they fall into a ditch. [This is the first book of a duology of 'the light'] Hope you do enjoy this little journey. It is still active and ongoing. Warning: This story contains a bit of violence, sexual content and mature language.Complete
