However, life is no straight path as she becomes lead witness to a suicide on her nights watching the local beach and it doesn't make it easier when the fancied Marlowe Richard - the charming lad of the academy is the one at fault.
Therapy can't even seem to tame her thoughts as she yet again gets tangled with mental health and instead of just thinking about Marlowe, begins to intertwine herself with Maxwell, his twin brother.
Now, the pressing issue isn't just why Marlowe killed himself right in front of her eyes but rather what led up to that - and most importantly how much can be deceived by the public eye when drugs, unlawful practices of medicine, mental illnesses, unregistered guns and a whole brotherhood history is brought to the surface.
Wondering why Marlowe killed himself won't be the only thing flashing news headlines when a massacre is coming slow and silent to everyone Marlowe threw his fated red string at.

Desdemona ''Des'' Winchester wants nothing to do with Melliford Academy. In fact, she's pretty sure her parents shipped her off to boarding school just to get her out of their hair. It's a move they'll come to regret if she has any say in the matter. Nothing humiliates posh folk like having a daughter sent home from the country's most esteemed educational institution. Just flunking class isn't dramatic enough, though. Des plans to get booted in the most spectacular manner possible, just to make sure her parents' social circle will never let them live it down. Her scheming, unfortunately, encounters three roadblocks within the first week of class. The first: Exie Quinnell, teacher's pet, whip-smart, and unreasonably attractive. Neither girl intended to end up on a project together, but their teacher deemed Des in need of a little... remediation. The second: There are things about Melliford Academy that none of the teachers will talk about, even when pressed. Things that should be easy answers. The third: The first student found dead with a folded paper dove perched on their chest. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated.

The Chase (Enhypen X Hearts2Hearts au)
They were raised as weapons - seven boys and eight girls forged in the same underground hell, trained to be shadows, tools, killers. When the system burned, they split: ENHYPEN chose the law. Hearts2Hearts chose the underworld. Now, years later, they're on opposite sides of the same war - cops and criminals, brothers and sisters, ghosts chasing each other through bloodstained streets. But this isn't about justice. It's about power. Revenge. And the scars they left on each other. Because in this city, nothing runs deeper than family - except the wounds they gave each other.

Strength and Sensuality [Completed]
A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence.

But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City AwardsComplete

CLOUD CASCADE
It's the year 398 of the Ninth Era, an age dominated by the Federation's authoritarian control and by the insidious influence of megacorps like Mercator Group. Human-piloted, mass-produced machines known as Frames define the battlefield, surveillance programs monitor your every move, and no one alive remembers what it was like before it got this way. It's in this tightly-wound, bloody ecosystem that four lives collide. The Knife, a mob enforcer with the ability to bend matter, ends up a courier for a piece of tech she's been trained not to ask questions about. Angela, a Frame Pilot Specialist with the Ministry of State Affairs, fights for justice only to find deafening silence. Grey, her teammate, just wants to keep the squad sane. Major Falwin, their superior, investigates a crime scene and finds a Knife-shaped ghost. Nobody has all the pieces to the puzzle-not until Frames drop, guns are pointed, and the nature of reality becomes a question mark. In this new, unrelenting conflict, there won't be any winners, only more devastation.

This novel may also at times have strong language, and dark themes. All of the characters in this novel belong solely to me, and me alone. Please understand that my writing gets better as it goes on, I think. One more thing, the description likely isn't that good, so I apologize for that.
