Book 1. (Rewritten)
Morgan Richter; average brown eyes and long, dark hair. Tall, independent, defensive. She has an air about her that makes her feel the need to look after everyone; a big bother sort of manner. Living anywhere she can lay her head, most times her friend Tyler's house, she has her home basically on the street.
A violent father who has devoted his life to alcohol, and an emotionally distant mother who uses drugs to disconnect from the life she calls her own; makes for a pretty interesting childhood, don't you think? Her upside is the fact that she can, usually, escape 'home' without having to return often. Hence why she stays with Tyler and his psychopathic sister. Enter in some friends off the street, and Morgan's defensive/protective nature, and you get...trouble. Serious, chaotic trouble.
Levi Carson; son of the man who runs Carson Corp. Deep brown eyes, and medium cut, nearly black looking hair. Tall, aspiring, caring. He made it through high school, and some unspoken trouble he would prefer left hidden. His path is set. His future is clear...until the night Morgan takes the fall for stealing a car. His car.
An adventure they never expected, with people they never thought would cross paths, and decisions that will change both futures...forever.

It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.

What If I Was Nothing?

After years of trying to fix what was already gone, Hannah walked away. Ryan stayed - until the silence between them became too heavy to bear. Years later, Ryan has rebuilt his world. A new home. A wife who makes him laugh. A baby boy who carries his smile. He's finally found peace in the wreckage. But when Hannah reappears one morning, holding all the words she never said, both are forced to face the truth: love doesn't die - it changes. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't losing each other.

A Boy Named Jasper {Wattpad Featured Novel}
Jasper is a screwed up kid, yet no one cares enough to find out why. Bruises hide his arms and alcohol stains the walls of his house, but he pushes forward because it's the only thing left for him to do. His days are spent in and out of the school psychologist's office, while his nights are spent in fear of his father. His guitar and the secluded spot by the train tracks where he likes to play are the only saving graces in the hell that is his life. No one disrupted this normal routine until Callie came. Callie is far from screwed up; she doesn't have family issues and doesn't understand the first thing about Jasper's world. Her house is filled with answered prayers and smiles of people who love each other. Her arms are clear and her head is full of optimism that Jasper doesn't buy for a second. She never second guessed her sunny disposition on life until she stumbled upon a boy and his guitar down by the train tracks. Callie and Jasper weren't supposed to cross paths. She wasn't supposed to care and he wasn't supposed to let her get under his skin, but then again opposites weren't supposed to attract either. Callie saw the good in him where most people thought there was none ; she was captivated by Jasper because he made her question everything she knew about the world. She thought it would be easy to show him that there was still good left in the world, that there was more beyond all the bad he'd become accustomed to but sometimes it takes more than one girl's overly optimistic persistence to pull a person out of the hell they've been living in. ~~~~~ -Highest Ranking: #8 in spiritual, 10/25/17 ; #1 in Christianity, 2019 -Wattpad Featured Novel: 10/19/17Complete
