Meet Lindsy, a manic depressive woman, and her not so willing hero, David, a man who's just working through some issues of his own. Will they be able to help each other?
Depression is a dark hole, and pills only mask the problem. Lindsy believes that she's doomed to be alone and lost within herself. She pushes out all she can, her smiles, comments, connections, everything. Yet, she's still alone. Very alone.
And, even though she's been told that death is not the answer, it seems that it might be the right one for her. It's quiet on the roof top of her apartment building, less of a chance for her to be bothered, and it would only be a few seconds before she hits the pavement. She's ready.
But, what she didn't account for was to be interrupted.
David, a man that just happened to be at a bad place at a bad time, attempts to talk her back from the ledge. But, when all is said and done, will he and Lindsy connect, or will he just be yet another stranger?

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.

Love and War
"All's fair in love and war, or some shit, right?" He said, his smirk drawing to a slight sneer as he padded towards the open balcony. He rested his hands on the guardrail before letting out an exasperated sigh, thunder rolling behind it. The rain cascaded onto the tile in sheets, blowing the soft cream curtains back and forth. "Or some shit." I smiled, walking towards him. I could see the tension grow in his back and shoulders, his struggle evident. I placed my hand gently on his shoulder, trying my best to reassure him. I could feel his breathing hitch slightly at my touch; his response was all I needed to reassure me I was doing the right thing. My touch was welcomed. I leaned my head on his back, wrapping my hands around his waist. I longed to take away his pain; I hated seeing anyone this upset. She wasn't worth his time. He said so himself- he's never found a woman worth changing plans for. Maybe he meant since her, I can't be sure. I am, however, hoping to show him that, one day, that woman might be me. ****** Jeanie is a spunky assistant living in Atlanta.

Torches
I look up into his dark blue eyes. My palms are sweaty; my mind is spiraling. I want to ask. I just don't know how. "Ask." he whispers breaking into my thoughts. I take a deep breath. I finally gain the courage. "Do you think it's over?" I finally get out. He meets my eyes and slowly shakes his head. "No." "Will it ever be?" I ask. Truthfully, I'm scared of what his answer ends up being. Silence fills the air of the short distance between us. Is he going to answer me? If so, why is he hesitating? "Sean?" I question. He sighs touching his hand to my cheek. I shift my gaze down as he cups the pendant hanging gently from my necklace, then lets it drop back to down to my chest. He looks back up at me and I bite my lip. "I don't know. I wish I had more to say. I wish I could tell you that it'll all be ok. But I don't know." ~~ Blair Anderson has always been a solo worker.

I Accidentally Summoned a Demon
"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.
