Starla Firelight is a Senior at her local College, majoring in Neurology in Washington D.C. and is the poster boy at school. She's part of many of the clubs at school and is the one you go to for help on your algebra test and the girl who doesn't want to miss school. But one day, all of that changes. Even though she has an A average, she's getting in trouble for things she didn't do... Like the murder of her least liked teacher that occurred right after she left the classroom. Brought into interrogation she is accused of another four murders in the area. Then she meets Dr. Spencer Keys, who is the only person in his BAU team who believes she is innocent. While she is sitting in the interrogation room, a guard gives her an envelope with a single bead on a string in it and a note saying "every time you get a bead, it's a sign you'll be getting out of here." Entranced by this message, it's up to Dr. Keys, his team, and Starla to prove that she is innocent before it's too late and she's in too deep.

Falling in love never scared Maddie Davis until she fell for the one boy she swore to stay away from forever. Season 1 of My Brother's Best Friend ********* Maddie Davis has been in love with her brother's best friend, Cameron Holden, since she was in the sixth grade. They used to be best friends, too, until he got into high school and became a version of himself she didn't even recognize. Everyone said he was a shoo-in for the NFL, and he let it get to his head. Right before high school started, he worked out until he was built like a sculpture, he got rid of his braces, and suddenly the girls fell at his feet. But that was fine because her middle school crush faded. And besides, even if she did think he was hot, Cameron wasn't someone she could go for even if she wanted to. Unless, of course, she found herself wound up with him in a closet during a game of blind seven minutes -- a closet so tiny and secretive that she would finally be able to act on the feelings she's tried so desperately to hide.

Statistical Probability Of Us
When twenty two year old Charlotte Quinn joins the BAU, she's ready for anything-except the relentless pace of the nation's most elite profiling unit. Brilliant, composed, and fiercely determined, Charlotte has spent years proving she belongs here. What no one at Quantico knows is that she's also a single mother to a four year old girl named Estella. Except her childhood neighbour and a person who was always like a big brother to her, Aaron Hotchner. Keeping that part of her life hidden is easier than she expects-until she meets Dr. Spencer Reid, the young genius who reads everyone except her. At twenty three, Reid is as brilliant as he is awkward, a prodigy who sees the world through numbers and probabilities. But when Charlotte joins the team, equations start to fail him. She challenges him, steadies him, and somehow makes the chaos of their cases feel human again. As the BAU hunts monsters across the country, Charlotte and Spencer find themselves drawn together in ways that defy logic. Between late night case files, quiet conversations in hotel hallways, and unspoken secrets, a fragile bond begins to form-one that could unravel everything they've worked for if it ever comes to light. Because in a world built on patterns and predictability, love is the one variable no one can control.
Heart
Her name was Gabriella Quintanilla. She was a senior in high school during this time. She had the looks, all the boys, the popularity, the clothes, and even the grades. And in no way was she ignorant of any of these things--quite the opposite. She knew that she was above average in most categories of life, and had no problem reminding people repeatedly of that fact. I'm not going to lie---I didn't like her. Not at all. To be completely honest, I threatened to kill her with my bare hands. And the scary thing is, I meant it. I wanted her to die. I imagined dark fantasies of the light fading from her eyes right before my own, her pleading for me to spare her life. And in my fantasies, I wouldn't listen and I didn't care. She had tortured me for five years and I was utterly and simply sick of it all. Sick of her. My animosity towards Gabriella was no secret among my peers. Not many people liked her, so it's not like I stood alone on the concept. However I was the only one who voiced a threat. THE threat. The threat that got me on a suspect list in some cop's notepad. They want to know if I killed her. If they knew the whole story, would they blame me if I did? ©Copyright Timara M. Lewis 2013Complete

In Your Custody
"But you're scared." He finished, running his fingers down her neck and to her collar bone, following the chain of her necklace, making her shiver, "So responsive." He murmured to himself. "Yes." She whispered, lips parted, eyes locked with his. She felt dirty for letting him be so close to her and touch her in a way that seemed so foreign and inappropriate- Yet exhilarating... "Maybe scared isn't the right word." His deep baritone voice rumbled, his fingers setting her skin on fire as he reached the opening of her top, the only thing dividing them, "Maybe, confused? Intimidated? But you're not scared of me, right, pet?" "I- I don't know." She answered, her heart pounding against her ribcage, making her shake nervously. "You're scared of this-" his hand lifted back up to circle around her throat and he applied slight pressure, but nowhere near enough to hinder her ability to breathe, "or this." He bent down so she could feel his hot breath skim across her cheek making her face flush. His rough lips, ran across the base of her jaw until he reached her ear, "But you're not scared of me." ~•~•~ 19-year-old Vera Reed is out on her own for the first time, leaving small town Tabor, Iowa for Lincoln, Nebraska to attend college at UNL in her old red Subaru.

She doesn't flinch, her eyes don't twitch or move from the desk but she's trying to hide one thing - her index finger rapidly tapping against her thigh.
