Aiselinn James is a normal young lady in her early twenties. Working at her local bookstore until dusk, studying architecture during her free time, playing with her dog at midnight, and sipping coffee at three a.m.are what makes her who she is.
Grey Ronan Bassinger is the quiet guy nobody notices. Lurking in the shadows, writing almost obsessively whenever he has some time to spare, reading anything he can buy at an affordable price, and simply watching the world all but slip through his fingers - he struggles to acquire his parents' approval. But the only way to do that is by marrying someone, or at least dating.
When the two meet at Aiselinn's work, he can't get her out of his head. Neither can she.
Then he proposes the perfect opportunity for both to get well off.
She gets a boyfriend, and consequently a good reputation.
He gets his parents off his back.
Right?
He just doesn't know that the road to success is way bumpier than he imagined it to be. Especially as his object of attention is a feisty, independent woman who doesn't fall for any simple pick up line.
And Aiselinn's not going to fall without a fight.
Will he be able to do at least one good thing in his life?

The Unimaginable Truth
I know I'm not the best writer but, here it goes. Dylan is a normal young man in a different world. He has his family, friends, a good home, and anything he could ask for. He would think of himself as smart, creative, and fun. But, all of that changed when he met HER. Aisling isn't your ordinary young woman. She has friends, family, and a good home too. Which makes you wonder, why she is all alone. She was living her daily routine like she had for the past years. But, all of that changed, when HE came along. You might say that these two probably have nothing in common. Except, a dark secret from the past that ties them together. (P. S. This isn't your typical "love story") By the way, if you have a Bible of some sort, feel free to look up the scriptures in the story. For example, before reading the story, read Psalms 83: 18. (Psalms 82: 19 in some versions). Please vote and comment, I would like to know what you think. I DO NOT OWN PICTURES OR VIDEOS, IF ANY.Complete

Alias: The Doyen Series book 1
*Paperback is published on Amazon.com. THE DOYEN SERIES book 2: Anecdote is coming soon!* Aisling Collins has lived a mostly perfect life: straight A's, a loving family and she even attends the college of her dreams. But when she meets the mysterious and handsome Kayde Rhys, she learns that not everything is as perfect as it seems. One trip to New Orleans throws Aisling into the most exciting and life-threatening world she never knew existed. Aisling finds that she is more powerful than anyone could have imagined. This is why she has been in hiding for 19 years. Dozens want her dead. Dozens want her alive. Who will win? ...... Excerpt from book: I almost say "okay, let's kill him" but then I remember who I am. What my values are. What my standards are. What my morals are. And this is not 1 of them. Values define who you are. The minute, the second, the millisecond, you forget your values, you lose yourself, your mind, your soul. I already lost my family and my innocence to the supernatural. I am not going to lose my humanity too. I find the words flying out of my mouth in a frantic hurry before I can stop them. I am screeching, screaming, blurting words and phrases and sentences and paragraphs at the people before me like I will soon run out of air. They stare at me like I am speaking in tongues, which I guess to them I am. "Okay," Kayde says as he picks his lifeless brother off the ground. Slings him over his shoulder like he is made of feathers. Nods at me once, twice, 3 times. "We can use him to get information. No killing." He looks me in the eye. But that doesn't mean that there won't be torture.Complete
