Crossing the Lines
There are many lines in this world we shouldn't cross: the line between right and wrong, the line between ethics and morals, the line between love and hate... There are many lines that are drawn out for a reason, but they're also drawn out thin, making it impossible to not slip to the other side at least once. ------------- Hannah Hale has never been one to cross the lines. She's never desired to. When her best friend Olivia forces her to sneak into a club one night, she's already crossed the line of right and wrong. Getting caught at the wrong place at just the right time throws Hannah into a whole new world that she never knew about. A world that causes her to cross every line possible. Ace Russo is the heir to the Sicilian Mafia. He's cold, evil, and ruthless. Most importantly, he has no problem crossing the lines. When a drug deal in America goes awry, he's forced to cross the line, and border, by kidnapping a witness and holding her hostage in Sicily. The question is, should lines ever be crossed?Complete
I Hate Football Players 2 (under editing)
Finding relationships is easy... Keeping them is the real game. That's what I'm learning in my first one. It's not easy. Our rival schools are an hour apart, my best friend's turning secretive, my parents are controlling, and my brother's still an ass, gearing toward winning the state championship, and still doesn't like my boyfriend, Logan. I get it, they're rivals, and I kinda feel like Logan's team might be better but this season will decide. Being the star rival quarterback's girlfriend brings big rumors and big drama, especially when elements of our pasts resurface - his jaded ex whatevers, and the secrets I thought I'd buried and moved beyond. All of this while I just want to figure out where to go for college and what for. Some relationships will always stand the test of time and distance, while others crumble by the time the high school dust settles.

College sophomore Natalie Carson is looking for a fresh start. After moving halfway across the country to escape a manipulative ex and troubled family, she expects to know no one, and no one to know her.

The one who made her heart race, all those years ago is back, and keen to make it race for him again. Excerpt: "I don't deserve you. You're like the type of person people read about, never expecting to find." I start, my fingers beginning to trace his jawline softly. "Well maybe it's because you wrote me. Because you were waiting to me, I was destined to find my way back to you." He replies, his cool fingers running up my body soothingly.

Slow Beats
"Bright lights, guitar music, continuous dancing, fast cars and a stream of screaming, jostling admirers. For as long as I can remember that was my life. One moment, I was pounding to the pulsating beat of the city, then ...screech, thump and clunk... suddenly, it all came to a grinding halt. I still don't really know what hit me," muttered Logan to himself as he surveyed the black rubbish bags around him. Someone once said, "Sometimes you need to slow down to go fast." That someone obviously wasn't Logan and didn't live in Singapore--a fast-paced city that never sleeps. Figuring out how to slow down and survive would take Logan a long while. Meantime, his female fans wept when he announced solemnly on Youtube that evening, "Every day, I reflect on my actions and ponder life's questions. I don't know when my next update will be but you are my world and I miss you terribly." Unwittingly, he left millions of broken hearts behind and entered her world of slow beats. #Knight/Dame in the RoyalCourtAwards for March 2018 #Iridescentvibe put this book in the replay category, which means they wish to read it again and again.Complete
