England is struggling to maintain control over the rebelling colonies, and sends in a new fleet of troops to regain their authority. Among them is Jeremiah; a quiet twenty-two-year-old who really doesn't want to fight. His father thinks being a soldier honorable, no matter what the case. So Jeremiah is signed up and sent to America. Then he quite literally runs into Mariah, and the two are falling for eachother. But loving one on the other end of the battlefield is dangerous, and the two soon find themselves in the middle of the Boston Massacre. Jeremiah and Mariah must pick their way out of the colony's mess, but getting involved in a country's prejudice can get ugly.
~No prejudice against Britain intended~

Adler | The Monarch & The Heirs BOOK 2.
Book Two of The Adler series ** Cassandra Lovett had pictured her summer holiday to be a break from her prep school scene filled with superficial snobs and shred her big wheels to cruise downtown, go on movie night marathons with her best friend and get up to wild, outlandish adventures. What she hadn't pictured was a brutal split between her parents spurred by a scandalous affair, getting shunned by her own so called friends and neighbours to be sent packing out to an estranged uncle further down south. As if having her whole life fall apart wasn't bad enough, she's forced to start her new one enrolled in St. Sinclair Academy; an elite school rumoured to groom the most absurdly rich and intellectual heirs of aristocrats and billionaires across Europe. Cassandra is certain her new school life is going to be the worst but what she doesn't know is that she'd stumbled into the domain of the most infamous clique highly esteemed not on the academy grounds but at the pinnacle of the elite society, The Monarch. They were the last people anyone dared to oppose, rivalled to no other and envied to no end and they ruled St. Sinclair. Most importantly, powerful people like them were meant to be a myth, but what Cassandra would soon learn was that the world she lost was the actual fairytale- this, was the truth. ** This CANNOT be read as a standalone. There will be reappearances of characters from the first book, mentions of previous incidents and yeah, I think you get the gist.Completa

Michael's Ghost Girl
This story is not getting the attention it deserves, so I am attempting to "re-brand" it. Maybe no one "gets" it. If you want to read about "Normal" teenagers, maybe this isn't for you, it's more complicated than that. It's about a teenager who doesn't fit it, but doesn't want to, who has the best two friends that anyone could have. Who watched his father lose his job in the Recession and then loses his home, and how he copes, especially when he learns that their new house is haunted and the ghost is in his room. Michael was an average kid, although he's always stood out. He was a school jock but also a skater whose long blond hair almost reaches his waist. When his parents lived in a house in a home owners association like all his other friends, life seemed normal. Then his father lost his job and suddenly those "friends" weren't there anymore--except for his two best friends, Short Round and Dewey. The three are skaters, good ones, who live for girls and their skateboards. They're also basically good kids who take pride in being different without paying attention to it. When Michael loses his home and his family has to move they have his back. And they are there for him when the ghost girl starts following him around. Mariah was murdered when she was just 15, her remains were never found, although no one but her and her ghost friend, Crazy Girl, know where their bodies are buried. The house Michael now lives in is the one where she lived with her family, and her old room is now his. She appears to him one night, trying to taunt him, but against her will she is falling in love with the boy who lives in her old room. Slowly the two begin to fall in love and Mariah tells him her story, and of the hidden danger that lies up the street from him.
