Umbrescence (n.)- An inner darkness that protects and guards a person.
I've always been afraid of the dark and ghosts. Anything scary I avoid at all costs. So it was never in my plans to grab an ouija board and summon demons in my step dad's childhood home. I've found myself the last few months considering if I would even take back going to target that night and welcoming my own haunt. It's twisted, but I don't think I would.

I'm bound to her. Lurking in her shadow while she has no clue what watches her. Who watches her. Her beauty first enticed me, then killed me. She doesn't know if it wasn't for herself she wouldn't have a stalker ghost absolutely obsessed with her, yearning to break her under me and fit her pieces back. My perfect little puppet.

One month ago, Tess Willoughby was the daughter of a well-to-do physician in London, and she witnessed the murder of an old seer. Coming into possession of the dead woman's odd ring - an ancient Spinner ring, known by the locals as the Ring of Prophesy, she was wrongly accused by her father of having stolen the ring. Three weeks ago, by her father's arrangement for the family, she became an unwilling passenger on a merchant ship bound for the pirate-infested waters of the Caribbean. Two weeks ago, at her father's insistence, she became forcibly betrothed to a man who she recognized as being the seer's murderer - a man who covets her only for her ring. One week ago, she met a sailor and experienced the thrill of being in love for the first time. Two days ago, she realized that such a secret love would endanger them both, and, heart-broken, she was forced to choose her loyalty. Yesterday, her fiancé betrayed her during a pirate attack and those she loved were slaughtered. Today, she is plotting to save her own life and perhaps to take his in retribution. The ring is urging her to decide quickly... Tomorrow will be too late.

That One Mistake
There are times when Lena wishes Adrian would just shut up, sit still and play nice.

Adrian has always been all about the parties, the fun, the travel, while Lena would prefer to sit on a cactus than to be in a room full of strangers.

Determined not to repeat the mistake of kissing him, Lena tries to push the memory away, only having to deal with Adrian's other shenanigans, such as coming into her apartment uninvited, meddling in her dating life and making a fool of her in front of a large group of people. You know, the usual. But when enough is enough and Lena finally finds the will to take a step back from Adrian's life, two plane tickets to their hometown threaten to dissipate her newfound resolve and thrust her into even more trouble. --------------- WARNING: Strong language.Complete
