Catherine thought losing everything would be the worst thing that could ever happen to her.
She was wrong.
Because losing a home is one thing...
but trying to survive in a world that was never meant for you?
That's something else entirely.
After a night that shattered her life forever, Catherine is forced into a new home, a new school, and a new reality where nothing feels safe and no one feels kind.
At home, she's unwanted.
At school, she's a target.
Whispers follow her.
Cruelty finds her.
And survival becomes something she has to learn... fast.
But this isn't just a story about pain.
Because in a world ruled by power, reputation, and dangerous secrets, Catherine finds herself caught in the middle of something bigger than she understands.
Five boys who don't play by the rules.
A girl who refuses to let her breathe.
And a past that isn't as buried as it seems.
Especially when one of them starts noticing her.
Watching her.
Choosing her.
And in a place where everything is a game
This story is a story of trauma, power, obsession, survival, and the kind of love that doesn't come soft.
It comes messy.
It comes dangerous.
And once it starts...
It doesn't let go.

Spy School: BLISTER (indefinite hiatus)
*WARNING* If you haven't read my other book: Spy School: At the great lakes, go read that first. ALSO: this book includes some information from Spy School: At sea. So don't read this unless you want spoilers. Agent: Benjamin Ripley Objectives: Help Sophia infiltrate BLISTER as a new student and find out what they are planning, and as much information as you can gather. WARNING: BLISTER is even stronger than SPYDER or CROATOAN. We suspect it could be a level 20 threat. Try not to get discouraged while waiting for Sophia's call Try not to get distracted IMPORTANT: Most of the characters belong to Stuart Gibbs. I only own the plot and a couple of my characters. I also still cannot think of a last name for Sophia, so it's just going to stay 'Sophia' for now. This is book 2 of the 4 book series (hopefully unless I lose my motivation)Complete

Blinded by Limerence
"You, uh, plan to go out like that?" Furrowing my eyebrows, I cast my gaze downwards, and that's when I remembered I had changed into pajamas after my date. My face heated up - it was embarrassing to unintentionally let Trevor see my pajama set that was, unfortunately, adorned with little cartoon sharks. "I..." I mumbled, my eyes still glued to the sharks swimming around the navy blue fabric, hoping that maybe, just maybe, one would swallow me whole right here and now. I was tense, the atmosphere was awkward, but Trevor, being the smooth player that he was, chuckled, and the mere joyful sound tickled my ears and brought the smile back to my face. "Go change," he said, nudging me to go back inside my house. "Alright, I'll just be a second." × × × 17-year-old smitten Morgan Darhk's world revolves around her best friend's brother, Archer Hastings. The only thing is, he doesn't know she exists - or at least that's what she tells herself and what HE tells HIMself. Morgan thinks she's the only one going through a limerence when it's FAR from the truth. Meet Addison Hastings, Trevor Parks, Chase Humphrey, Hanna Abrams, Eric Carter, and Killian Adler, all fellow victims of the unrelenting limerence. Swept up in a world of betrayals, drama, lies of omission, secrets, and most importantly, passion, these high schoolers go through the one thing everyone has experienced at least once in his or her life, as if a rite of passage: the unrequited love. As Morgan tries to find out what - or more importantly, WHO - she wants in life, she discovers a deeper sense in all this BS... ...that love - or at least limerence - blinds us all to see what's really been in front of us this whole time. × × × ~ Blinded by Limerence ~ 09/01/20 - 07/15/22Complete

Cavalier
David is ten and a half years old when he becomes the de facto family shepherd and he's twelve when a man called Agent Samuel declares David will be the next ruler of Israel. One of those things seems more likely to happen than the other, even with the strange man's reassurances, and David's not surprised when it turns out to be the sheepherding side of things. Initially, at least. However, time passes. Years pass. David becomes President Saul's unofficial musical therapist, developing a close friendship with his son Jonathan--the man who should be ruler next. He defeats Goliath, the result of genetic experimenting done by the Philistines, with nothing more than a rock and a slingshot, and quickly becomes a beloved hero of Israel. And the more experience that David gets, the more that people become obsessed with him, the more he is willing to concede that maybe that Agent Samuel guy was onto something. He's not the only one who sees his rise in popularity, though; President Saul is keeping a close eye on him, too. A deadly eye. And it soon becomes evident that David will either live to see himself become President or a legend forever remembered as the man who defeated Goliath. CAVALIER is a modern day retelling of the early life of King David, from when he first becomes a shepherd to just before he becomes ruler over Israel. It is a Featured work in the Spiritual section.Complete
