Meet Shawn Bentley, a girl who is wild and free with a reputation for being out there crazy. This is one lost soul, the only thing she's sure about in her photography. Shawn never really was one to plan ahead. She is perfectly fine living in the moment and letting life run it's course.
Meet Elijah Grey, a guy who's lost hope, has five months to live and has given up on life. He went from having his whole future planned to having five months before he was a corpse. Anyone can imagine he's not a happy person. With his death getting closer he pushes everyone away.
When these two meet because of a messed up photo, their worlds are turned upside. Shawn is persistent on getting to know the guy with the sad eyes. Elijah tries his best to keep her away but her stubborn, sarcastic and laid back personality grows on him.
As they change each others outlook on love and the future, Shawn finally understands the words in love songs and Elijah has a reason to want to live.
In five months they've created a thousand memories, and have something worth more than a thousand words. As Elijah's time comes to an end and Shawn finds out about his illness, will she stay by his side? Or will she run away?
"Miracles happen to those who are willing to ask for them.- Shawn Bentley

The kindred heart:Love after trauma
In a world where words can heal and images can capture the truth, two lost souls collide in an unlikely encounter. Kenney, a young poet whose heart has been shattered by the weight of unrequited love, spends his days pouring his emotions into verses that no one hears. His words are both his refuge and his prison, a fragile connection to a world that once promised him hope but left him broken. Love has betrayed him, and now, all he knows is the quiet pain of longing and the impossible task of mending his heart through poetry. Quinn, a talented photographer, has a sharp eye for beauty-but it's the dark side of humanity she captures. She's spent years hiding from the lustful gazes of men, the raw desire in their eyes making her skin crawl. To her, love seems tainted by obsession, and she's sworn to protect herself from its destructive forces. But in her lens, she sees the raw truth of people's souls-without the masks they wear for the world. When their paths cross, a connection forms that neither expected. For Kenney, Quinn becomes the sunlight he never knew he needed, a force that slowly uncovers the dark corners of his world. Her quiet strength and unspoken understanding illuminate his poetry, allowing him to see the beauty in his own pain again. In Quinn's presence, he feels a glimmer of hope-a light that chases away the shadows of his broken heart. Together, they navigate their wounds-one through his delicate poetry, the other through her evocative photographs-searching for healing in the aftermath of pain. But love, once lost, is never easy to reclaim, and in their fragile bond, the line between healing and hurting becomes more blurred with every shared moment. "The Kindred Heart" is a poignant exploration of the scars that love leaves behind, the courage it takes to trust again, and the healing that only comes when you dare to see someone for who they truly are.
Memory Lane

Until one fateful drive, where giving up control cost her nearly everything. After refusing to drive on a trip home from dinner with her parents, Laura's father stepped into the driver's seat and drove down a path that he and her mother would never come back from. Now, forced by the pitfalls of life to move in with her Aunt June, Uncle Tim, and cousin Allen in Bennington, Vermont, Laura has taken the wheel and refuses to give it up ever again. At her new school, Laura is determined to start over. In order to pretend like her past never happened, no one can know why she needed to move to Bennington. Jesse Ashford was always in control. In the ride of life, he jumped in the driver's seat to speed down his path, trying his best to outrun his past.

Everything Has Changed
"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey.

7 Nights with Mr. Black
"I hate you." My voice cracks as I tell him. His feet stop at the door. I clutch the bedsheet tightly around my chest as he turns around with an emotionless face. "Then there will be a lot of hate fucking between us." A smirk curve his lips as his green eyes rake over my body with the heat of conquest. Hot rage flows through my veins and I glare back at him with so much hatred for what he did to me. "Breakfast at sharp 8:10. You remember, right?" He smirks arrogantly and walks out of the room with his warnings. WARNING: FORCED SXX BOOK!! 🔞 * * * * * * * * * * * Dakota Black was a man cloaked with charisma and power. But I made him a monster.

The Inceptive Flame⎪✓
"Do they not say that a good friendship builds on a ground of lies?" I joke, lightening the mood immediately as his green eyes glint in humor and a smirk falls on his familiar lips. "Do you kiss a lot of your friends, love?" The underlying tones threaten to provoke a blush on my cheeks, but I get myself together. Smirking at him, "Well, of course, is that not the norm?" *********** Dakota Moore is the perfect example of a beautiful disaster. Her wisdom is ready to knock anyone down, her self worth is an exact replica of the way her father raised her, and her pain so intense it screams over every building. She refuses to show anyone what's going on behind closed doors, especially when her lovely father gets the traumatic news that he has an incurable disease. Elijah Black is the spur of the moment kind of guy, he's the one no one ever settles with because of his angry outbursts and rude ways. Even though he throws everyone off, except for when they want sexual advances, he still can't help but feel enthralled by the freckled girl who's hiding so many secrets behind a fake smile. As they clash and try to reject the obvious rush, will they accept their attraction, or is everything just too much? After all, how can two ruined teenagers manage a youthful love without destroying themselves in the process?

Written With Hearts
My name is Abby Blair. I write erotic romance. I don't practise what I preach, though. With a string of failed relationships behind me, my books are now the only passion in my life. I create fictional men, because the real men in my life often let me down. I create a woman's perfect fantasy, because my fantasy doesn't exist. My female leads luckily get what I don't. Devotion. Love. Sex... A happy ending. So when I meet Yate Sheridan at my very first book signing, he makes me question a lot of things. He is like one of my leading men, jumping out from a chapter and jumping into my real life. He is charming and wickedly sexy, with a smile that could cause a roomful of knickers to drop in an instant. There is no question; Yate is appealing. He is also a cover model...a definite no-no for me. I don't like my men to be constantly drooled over, I leave that for my readers to do with my fictional men. So, as much as I like Yate, I can never date him. I'm way too insecure to go out with a guy like him. I have a painful past regret that has chipped away at my confidence. Being with someone like Yate, would only feed those insecurities. I write about sassy, confident, and bolder than brass heroines. They are sadly, everything that I'm not. When Yate kisses me; I know that I need to walk away. I need to walk, whilst my knickers are still on and my heart is still in tact. Only he doesn't want to leave things there. After that single kiss... He wants more. I'll admit, he gets under my skin, but I don't think I can give him what he wants? Yate Sheridan, well let's just say, he has other ideas. This is our story. ***DOES CONTAIN SWEAR WORDS & SCENES OF INTIMATE AND GRAPHIC NATURE*** WRITTEN WITH HEARTS Published by K B Mallion Copyright © 2016 K B Mallion All rights reservedConcluida
