***Top 55 of Harlequin's So You Think You Can Write Contest*** 
Elaine Archer didn’t always know she was different, not until her accident in sixth grade. A fall that should have killed her left her with nothing, not even a scar to flaunt as proof of her fall. From that moment on, she kept the secret even from her own family; the secret that she couldn’t be hurt by any ordinary means. Blades cut through her skin, fire burned her flesh, but her skin would simply mend itself as if it had a mind of it’s own. One day, she sees three people who, unknowingly to her, all possess gifts, like her. After days of stakeout, they succeed in kidnapping Elaine and take her away to work for them. In a world where no one can be trusted, how will she survive?All Rights Reserved

The Society by Roseisfullofthorns

During the times when kings and Queens still ruled, where holding hands was considered a scandal, Idris Frasier struggles to survive when her life is sucked into a group that calls themselves, The Society. She tries her best not to let their schemes, secrets and ways consume her. However when she finds someone who gives her hope and makes her smile, can she take the chance despite the conspiracies to attain her happiness. The thing about society is they're not to be trusted because everything is a game. ______________ My father once told me a story... "Imagine being mixed with the crowd. Everywhere you turn you see faces. What's worse? They're looking at you with hate, disgust, disappointment. They spit venomous words that slice through you sharper than a knife. They hate you just for existing, for simply breathing the same air as them. It leaves you feeling suffocated but the more you run, trying to find a way out, the faces multiply. You're searching-looking for someone who can look past everything, pick you up and smile at you. You fall on your knees taking the hits. They keep pushing your limits until your back breaks and you're face flat on the ground. That's how it feels, Idris. That's what we've come to know in this cruel world. This-This place we call Society. It isn't a fairytale of happy children playing and people getting along. No. It's far more evil than that. One day you'll understand, if only it doesn't consume us."

Forlot: Return of the Monster Protector - Book Eleven by Forlot_Forever

It may be a small town. But it has its many secrets. ----------------------------- "Sweetie, I just want to help you." "And how are you going to do that? Lock me up in an asylum where there are psychos who could hurt me? Put me to death? The possibilities are endless when it comes to getting rid of me, huh?" "I would do no such things." "Now who is the liar? And for the record, I have delicious snacks tugged away in my bag if I get hungry. I do not need your poisonous food. Also, do not call me your sweetie or sweetheart. Margie is your child now." "Margaret, you are sick. You need help." "The only help that I need..." She took a bow and arrow out of her bag, letting go of her bag in the process, and set the arrow on the bow. "...you all need help." Without any warnings, she grabbed ahold of me, forcing me to my feet, and held me close to her, pointing the sharp end of the arrow at my neck. "And the only way that you guys will receive help is if I kill my replacement." ----------------------------- If you like adventure, mystery, humor, or cliffhangers, then this is the book for you!

The Phoenix Enigma by m3lonw4t3r

Evelyn clutched a worn photograph, its edges softened with time. The image depicted a younger, smiling version of her father, his arm slung around a woman with warm eyes. A pang of longing shot through her. She barely remembered him, just a collection of stories and a void that echoed in her heart. Newspapers, yellowed with age, lay scattered on the table beside her. Headlines screamed of a mysterious organization, their involvement in a series of unsolved disappearances, including her father's. The police investigation had gone cold, leaving Evelyn with a relentless thirst for answers. A determined glint entered her eyes. She wouldn't let her father's memory fade. She would find the truth, no matter the cost. Across town, in a dimly lit room, Ace received his orders. His mission: infiltrate the inner circle of a powerful organization rumored to operate in the shadows. The target? Evelyn, the daughter of a man who had crossed paths with the organization years ago. Ace wasn't new to undercover work, but this mission felt different. A flicker of unease sparked within him as he studied Evelyn's file - a young woman with inquisitive eyes and a fierce spirit. He knew he shouldn't get attached, but something about her drew him in. As fate would weave its intricate web, Evelyn and Ace's paths were destined to collide.
