~ Cover by myself ~
Seventeen year old Jenna Maxson may not seem like much, but underneath her beauty lies a girl with an unusual talent - for thievery. She knows how to pick locks in mere seconds, steal cars and pickpocket without you even batting an eyelash. Eventually, she moves to a small town in California, determined to put her dark past behind her, including her days as a delinquent, which means goodbye to all illegal activities.
Starting fresh, Jenna meets new friends, and might even fall in love again (with college student Christopher "Chris" Anderson who's adorably awkward around her), if only the enemies from her previous life would keep their distance. But when she is introduced to the mysterious Noah Kingsley, she feels herself irrevocably drawn to his dangerous ways, even though she knows that he is a part of the hunt for her.

Repetition Compulsion
***[[COMPLETED!!]]*** [[Previously titled "Serendipity"]] Stranded at a graduate recruitment event after mentally breaking up with her then boyfriend, 20 year old Sera Seme meets the ever so sexy, charming and hopelessly intriguing Abimbola Blake. Shortly after this encounter, Sera's life seemingly starts falling into place: She gets the guy (even if its just for one night) the internship she wants, and is seemingly one step away from making all her dreams come true. But looks can be deceiving, because underneath her seemingly perfect life, Sera is filled with pain and sadness from her past traumas in life. Sera thinks she is just postponing having to deal with the pain and bitterness associated with events from her past, but little does she know that her grief is eating her from the inside out. Little does she know that what she is doing is not living at all, but rather re-enacting the most traumatic events from the past that she absolutely refuses to come to terms with. And as she tries to grasp this, and come to terms with it, she realizes that she is not the only one dealing with demons, and that the sooner she realizes the world doesn't revolve around her, the better. This book mostly tries to illustrate one of the most confusing psychological phenomena's to date; the "repetition compulsion." In 'repetition compulsion', a person repeats a traumatic event or its circumstances over and over again. This includes re-enacting the event or putting oneself in situations where the event is likely to happen again. While no hard-and-fast answers exist, this book tries to offer explanations as to why "just leave" is not an option for some individuals exposed to unstable or traumatic relationships.

Unexpected Calling
What comes to mind when you see the word, "nightmare"? Do you think of all your teeth falling out in front of your bathroom mirror? Or maybe your pants falling down in the middle of your math class? That would be as normal as a nightmare could possibly get. But at least you always wake up, right? Well, what if, perhaps, you wake up, and your nightmare isn't a nightmare...But reality? Jay Falley is a not-so-normal seventeen year old girl. She earned three engineering scholarships and won countless technology competitions. She has several colleges after her talent and on top of all that, she has school, babysitting, and church meets every Sunday and Wednesday night. Jeremy Henryson is a not-so-normal eighteen year old guy. He mysteriously lost his parents after they had gone on a mission when he was only fifteen. He'd been earning college credits since he was fourteen and was training to be a spy as well. He was adopted by a normal couple, who couldn't have kids of their own, at fifteen and was a spy by sixteen. How could their lives get any more bizarre? How about adding marriage, bombings, and a secret nuclear organization who has their mind set on destroying America and taking over the world? Scary.Complete
