George is running again.

George hates planes. She hates the bus. She hates her old pick up truck. She hates the sound her feet make when they touch concrete. But her hatred beats all when it comes to pages that are folded to be used as bookmarks. Certain pages are forever bended no matter how hard she tries to flatten them. Certain books that are held close to her chest as she climbs her fifth train, the only transportation she is able to bare. All books come to an end, the book cover met at the end proves that. George is not ready to let go of the words formed for her enjoyment, she's not ready to let go of the stories. She doesn't want to be saved by her knight in shining armor, but in her story she doesn't have a choice. 

George Massot is seventeen years old and high on beginnings. The beginnings of books, the beginnings of movies, and the beginnings of the five lives she has created for herself. 

Dylan Bates is high on his tenth cigarette. 

''Everything has a ending'' he says the smoke from his cig diminished by his foot now covering it as he looked back up into a pair of two persistent brown eyes.

''It doesn't have to''

"Running from me already, little one?" The voice was a whisper against my skin, dark and knowing. I turned too fast. Too desperate. He was closer than I expected-tall, lean muscle wrapped in black silk. Whiskey-colored eyes traced my lips, my throat. Slow. Unrelenting. "Do I feel familiar?" I swallowed hard. "No." He smirked. "Liar." His fingers brushed my wrist, and a current shot through me. My breath hitched. My body knew him. Even if my mind refused to. But that was impossible... wasn't it? - Kathryn Laurent came to Paris for a fresh start. What she found was something else entirely-something dark, intoxicating, inescapable. The dreams started first. A man with burning whiskey eyes. A touch that ignited and destroyed in equal measure. A voice that echoed in her bones. In those dreams, he ruined her-slowly, relentlessly-until she woke trembling, her body marked by something that should not be real. Then she saw him. Flesh and blood. Real. A star. A shadow. A presence that bent the world around him. He watches her like he knows every inch of her body. Like he's had her before and intends to again. But Kate doesn't remember him. And he? He has spent centuries remembering her. The past is tangled in the present, passion twisted with possession, love with vengeance. He is both her salvation and her downfall. The man who haunts her dreams and now, her reality. And when he finally touches her, there will be no waking up from it. Some loves are written in the stars. Some are written in blood. And some were never meant to be forgotten. - Tropes & Themes : ★ Dark, seductive romance ★ Fated lovers, past-life obsession ★ Mysterious, brooding hero with a sinful touch ★ Tension so thick it lingers like a ghost ★ Paris-luxury, shadows, and whispered temptation ★ Dreams that leave evidence behind ★ Mature, explicit smut-raw, consuming, inevitable ★ A love too powerful to stay buried ★ The line between fate and possession 18+

From a young age, he was diagnosed as a psychopath, with a propensity for violence and manipulation that set him apart from his peers. While most children were learning to share and play nicely, Paris was already plotting his next move, studying the world around him with an intensity that bordered on madness. Sable, on the other hand, was the epitome of normalcy. She exuded kindness and compassion in everything she did, her innocence shining through even in the darkest of times. But she couldn't escape Paris's gaze; he watched her from afar for years, his obsession with her growing stronger each day. And yet she accepted him with little hesitation when he finally emerged from the shadows, embracing his twisted ways as if they were just another part of who he was. As they embarked on their tumultuous journey together, Sable struggled to reconcile Paris's dark side with her own emotions. She found herself torn between fear and fascination, repulsion and intrigue. But no matter how chaotic their lives became or how troubled his family proved to be, Sable stood by Paris's side unwaveringly - for she knew that beneath the mask of a psychopath lay a glimmer of humanity that only she could see.

Ch 1- Ch 6 available on wattpad. The rest of the book (45 chapters) is available for purchase on Amazon, eBook and paperback. The first thing people think when they see Nat walking the streets of The French Quarter in New Orleans is, "so young and pretty, such a shame that she's homeless". Then they don't pay her anymore attention as she plucks their wallets right out of their pockets. That was her life. Stealing just to survive. Unless she got a big job; setting wealthy tourist men up to get robbed and that day she had found the perfect target. It wasn't until she was stabbed and losing consciousness that she learned she was his perfect target. Waking up in a small, grimy room with five strangers around her, she's enlightened that she's been kidnapped by none other than the Mass Grave Killer. It was simple. He kidnapped ten people, held them for two years, and then buried their bodies in a mass grave, and he had been doing it for over six years already, but there was no way that Nana was going to lie down and let him kill her. If she could survive fighting grown men for tent space, she could fight another for her life. Every day of those two years she fights for her life and when time is almost up she finds the strength to kill the man that tortured ten people for two years and finally escapes. She's free, but not without scars. For the next two years, she tries to piece her life back together between the flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety attacks, and just when she thinks things are looking good, she comes face to face with her nightmares. Tha man she killed has come back from the grave, and the only thing he wants is to start over with her. Having to constantly look over her shoulder, she now has to run for her life and try to catch him before he catches her.

COMPLETED Living a life you didn't sign up for is hard, but doing so while feeling lost is harder. Dylan Amity is a musical prodigy. He could play a range of instruments, from the electric guitar to his violin. He lived, ate, and breathed music and was on track to becoming the orchestra's lead violinist. He was ready to become one of history's best composers. But he decided to place his dreams on hold for a while when he found out that his dad, the CEO of Amity Industry, was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer. His dad's death was expected, but the way he died wasn't. After the reading of the will, Dylan is faced with the harsh reality that you don't always get what you want. Following a short period of grief, Dylan is thrust into a world of business, responsibilities, and guardianship. He never wanted to be CEO, but now he has to because it's what his dad wanted. He also never expected to be Amber's, his thirteen-year-old sister's, legal guardian. Dylan has to put his dreams aside as he learns to navigate his new life without any experience of being a CEO or a guardian. Without a guide, Dylan is bound to feel lost, but maybe Rose could help. Maybe she could teach him how to deal with it. ••• Sneak Peek: "You know what, Amber? At least I'm fucking trying!" I gritted out, meeting her eyes that practically blazed with fury. "Yeah! Trying to act like papa. But guess what, Dylan, you never cared about me or what I did!" She screamed, taking steps back towards the stairs. "You never cared when I was a baby, you didn't care when I was a toddler, and guess what! You don't care now. You're only pretending to care to make yourself feel better. But you don't! No one fucking cares."

(Previously known as Mr vs Miss Delinquent) Dylan, turned to me slowly before kneeling and collecting my books, when he stood back up he was welcomed with my smirk making his glare intensify. "I'd watch my back if I were you, you should know not to mess with me" Dylan whispered stepping closer to me, his breath fanning my face. So typical. "Really? Am I supposed to be scared, because I'm not. Infact, I think you should watch out, I'm about to take over." I smirked "We'll see" he says with a similar smirk before turning in his heels and walking off, along with Zac, Chase and Blake. This is going to be one heck of a year. **** Meet Skylar Reed!
