It had been six years. Six years, since I had seen him. Six years, foraging through our memories to find something to preserve to keep myself persevering. Yet now, I regret it. Regretted the optimism I held throughout those torturous years; would it not have been better to cut all my ends loose, instead of drawling myself back into the past that haunts me with pain? That taunts me with the once flawless, beautiful reminiscences of Jace?
Six years ago, Jessica Darkwood had been maliciously snatched away from the loving home of her parents and her childhood best friend. But as she readies herself for the life she is to face as a slave on her 18th, it seems like fate has other plans for her. Other plans that involve the star crossed lover of her life; Jace Halestone.
As her world is set in collision with the past, dark reminiscences unravel once more, yet life is completely different; they're lives have grown distinctly apart. But is their reunified love strong enough to survive the cruel reality that is thrown at them?

Jigsaws
Jace and Miles are two quiet and solitary boys, each for their own reasons, but when they both decide to find a job in the local cinema they can't seem to find common ground. Still, when a friend of Jace seems to start getting interested in Miles, their plan to ignore each other for the rest of their lives fails miserably and they're both faced with the inevitability of their mutual attraction. ~~~ It all happened so fast. There wasn't a reason or explanation, but only the sensation that things no longer were the way they were before, that something had changed, irretrievably. His life had ceased to be, it had all become a long, excruciating, endless wait, until again his heart could beat again, and his lungs could fill with the air that separated him from him, until nothing separated them anymore and finally something in Jace could rest, his muscles could relax and nothing else could make him doubt of his own existence. He was whole again, until he wasn't. The wait would resume and Jace, not able to stand it, would go back to dreaming, dreaming of him. ~~~ I found the picture on the cover on Pinterest and I have no idea if who created it gave the authorisation to use it. Please notify me if you know something about it.

Wake Up Call
A broken girl... Twenty years old and I'd finally had enough. I couldn't take anymore, so I packed up my things and disappeared, leaving behind my drunken, abusive father and the mother that stood by and watched as I slowly died. I knew I was going, but not where I'd stop. The last thing I expected once on my own, was to be spending my nights stripping at a club in Florida, barely getting by. I should have known running from a past wouldn't make it stop haunting me, because misery will always find me and tear me down until there's nothing left of me. It always has... Things can always change though, right? Like looking up at a handsome, tattooed stranger, and with one stare he has me questioning everything I've ever believed in. I wasn't expecting or prepared for someone to storm into my life. Not him. Jace Montgomery. The name I'll never forget. The need to save me lies in his eyes, but I don't need a savior. Trust- what he wants to teach me. That I'm something more than what I've grown up believing and that I'm worth loving. Those are the things he wants me to believe. How am I supposed to let him in and show me I'm something when I've spent my entire life being... nothing? He won't give up, and honestly, I'm hoping he never does... Because maybe... just maybe... I am worth saving after all.Complete
Surrender Or Drown {The Siren and The Fenrir Trilogy Book I}
"Bella, you can't keep doing this to me. I can be real fucking patient, or I can be really fucking unkind." He grabbed her hips and skimmed his fingers down the chunk of her outer thighs. "I'm sorry, but I didn't ask for him to kiss me. And I told you, you and I-we're over." He placed his hand over her mouth. He let his tears stream down his nose, his lips quivered with the words she'd just used to curse him. "I don't like it." He let out through his teeth, his glasses fell low on his nose and she could tell he was in agony. "I'm sorry." She declared before pulling him in for an embrace. Her arms wrapped around his neck and his hands drove up and into her hair, guiding her face to look up. His mouth parted over hers, she opened her lips and kissed him slowly, enchantingly. Brandon was sure she wished him to die. As she swallowed his breath, and fed him her own-she gave him no gaps to breathe. Almost as if his siren had come up from her watery throne just to drag him back under. He started pounding his fists against the wall behind her, careful not to hurt her in any way. His mouth moved over hers like he had no choice but to kiss her back. He laid no hand to her body, because he knew in that moment-he'd go too far. He didn't want to hurt her. But he did want to burrow into her body and command her soul. She was the sole reason for his jealousy, the only person who held the switch to all of his desires. Bella had been born to be the woman who would subdue the demons inside his soul. She was created for him. He felt it long before he accepted it. But now-he couldn't bear the consequences of denying the gift in which God was giving him in her. His redemption was a direct result of having her in his life. Both cursed and blessed-Brandon couldn't afford to lose her anymore. She was his. Forever. She chased him-so in full circle. Perhaps it was his turn now. "Bella... say you'll be mine. Please."Complete
