❝Hello, you've reached Scar's mortuary! You kill em', we chill em'!❞
  
The Dixons are the wealthiest family in Harbor Village. They're also the most notorious. When playgirl Scarlet Holloway not-so-innocently uncovers one of their darkest secrets, she's thrown into a world of luxury, sex, and deception.
 
The tight-knit family are determined to keep Scar in their pocket. They'll do anything to prevent her from coming clean, protecting the family legacy at any cost. Scar knows the stakes are high - the only thing standing between her and an early grave is their middle son, Nicholias. 
  
Nick puts the girls and drugs on pause, pursuing Scar like she's his next fix. Too bad for Nick, Scar can't be sure he's not a killer, or that his advances aren't just self-preservation.
  
Falling in love could cost a girl her life, but so could running from it. She'll do anything she can to stay alive and keep her friends safe. Maybe Scar really is just a moth, but she knows a little something about flames...

Gabriel & Athena, Book One: Fate  (A Wattpad Featured Story) by NMBooks
26 parts Complete
FORMERLY TITLED "FATUM" Chosen as a Wattpad Featured Story in May 2017 There's a reason high school senior Athena Thorpe spends every available moment reading books: fiction is always so much better than the real world. Even the unexpected scandal she suffered thanks to Jackson Montgomery was just a blip in her typically mundane existence in Sparrow, North Carolina. But no story could ever compare to the life-altering events that occur when Gabriel Valente moves into town. Being the son of a notorious crime lord and having grown up on the streets of Manhattan, Gabriel defies all the expectations the students of Sparrow High have for him, including Athena's. She never expected he would match her interest in the written word, or his unlikely grand gestures and definitely not the immediate but intense feelings which cause them to spiral into a secret relationship. A relationship that hinders on Gabriel's uncertain future, which could find him being the heir to the mob throne. Whether or not she wants to admit it, Athena knows the world Gabriel comes from is a dark and violent one. It's just really easy to pretend it doesn't exist within the bubble that is Sparrow. Yet, no matter how much we pretend, reality is never far away, with Gabriel and Athena learning a tragic lesson about choice and consequence a little too late. When you finally decide what you want most in life, the next question becomes: will fate agree?

Sex, drugs and pleasure is all a man knows in the world of gangs. Power is every man's end goal, but no one craves it more than Nicholas Black, the leader of The Black Knights. Born into the family of The White Dragons, Summer White is the youngest of three brothers. Kept hidden from the world for as long as her family could, she was their peace within the chaos, a light to return to after selling their souls to the devil in exchange for power and the fear of others. Summer White was the core of The White Dragons and when Nicholas Black snatches her away, the world becomes darker - the exact replication of his horrid desires becomes the reality everyone must live in and no one pays the price more than the innocent white soul of the young girl forced to become a woman at the age of fourteen. Tainted, beaten and abused, Summer's soul becomes another piece in Nicholas's collection, but unlike the others, for him, hers is special. Her body is a vessel, a trophy of the win he never wants to forget and can't let go of. Nicholas forgave no one, not even his younger brother. Kai Black also suffered through his brother's wrath becoming a version of himself even he couldn't recognize. Summer and Kai lived in two parallel worlds, facing the same monster, feeling the same losses, dying the same death, escaping the same reality yet choosing to live much different lives, making drastically different decisions. With divine timing, their worlds collide and it becomes time for the game of life that Nick had begun to finally end. But to win, one must sacrifice everything which is a price Nicholas, Kai and Summer are all willing to pay. So, the question is: who will win if every player is an exact reflection of the other? Who would you put your bets on? -- Being weak is an act, loving is a sin & losing is forbidden. One decision. One wrong move. Life is a game waiting to be played.
