WAS #2 in Romance.
--
He's got a secret, she's got a secret. But is it the same secret?
Amara Ackerman is an interior designer who just wants to live her life, she doesn't want to get married and she doesn't need a boyfriend. To her it's just better if everyone kept their distance, pulling people in was never her style.
Dominic Vitiello is just the average rich, handsome guy with tons of connections and plenty of places to be. When he takes the time out to persue her, he discovers something unexpected and it's far from disappointing.
The two cross paths in the most convinient way, how does their relationship go from being strictly work to strictly personal? Neither of them can say, but I can say it's a pretty interesting story.

Underworld - The SurReal side
What happens when deepest desires become one's way of life? Behind the darkness lies a world that one isn't familiar with or so they think. A fantasy.... That's what it looks like.... But one would not be able to guess the reason behind its existence. The line that exists between the two worlds slowly disappears when the rules and secrets lose their purpose. FEAR, RULES and CONSEQUENCES... they make this world. What happens when the flow that exists in this world gets disrupted by a commoner who walks into it just for fun? What happens when the same person meets the one person they were not supposed to? Some things are meant to be untouched. Some secrets are meant to be in the dark. Some people are meant to be unseen. 💯Author's note💯: This story is purely based on creativity and imagination. Although the details hold reality to them, the story does not promote the activities or incidents that occur. Please do remember that it's only for entertainment purposes and do not encourage any other underlying intentions. Also, the story is for mature audience. There are scenes that are recommended for age groups above 18 but I would suggest above 21 to be ideal. This is mainly because the understanding and reasoning for such scenes require mature thought process. So, I hope you understand and respect that. But if you still want to go ahead, then I would be glad to welcome you guys to read it. But please don't leave hate because of the mature scenes. Thank you.Complete

Flaws: Vedmykiv
Joaquin Perierat is an aspiring war photojournalist who breaks up with his college sweetheart to travel to the Donetsk province in Ukraine to live with a woman he met on a dating site. It's 2013, and Ukraine, a country he knows nothing about, is going through an identity crisis. Violent demonstrations are taking place in the capital against the government and angered protests are erupting in the east against the country. Donetsk wants to break up. Joaquin can't. He needs to find that story to advance his career and justify the breakup. This first installment of the "Flaws" trilogy explores identity, honesty, regret, sex, and deception. The riveting novel is for the reader looking to travel vicariously and discover underground societies through the eyes of a reluctant hero and a lover in denial drawn to chase adventure. Some Reviews: "You created such a real character!" "The writing is fluid, there is more story than you're led to believe and Joaquin's introspection is much more detailed, more adult and beautiful. His way of seeing things is gentle, even though he is so young." "A book that gives you that cold feeling in your belly and pain in your heart. It hurts. It's a book that makes you ache. His confusion hits you hard." "The action moments are so well written and detailed, you can perfectly see every detail, every feeling, sensation, feeling, color. As if you were there. It could easily be a movie." "Joaquin is a strong but fragile man. Vulnerable to the point of hiding his fragility with a layer of sarcasm. Yet, when you get inside his mind, you see how human he is. He can be so charming if you let yourself get carried away." Content Warning: contains violence and mature themes. This is a work of fiction.
