The Hero's Guide to Heroing
A story about superheroes in a modern world. Once, humans and power wielders were at war. The war brought both side to the brink of destruction, forcing peace or extinction. A tentative peace prevailed for a time. Enough to build trust between the two sides for many years. But as the two sides grew together some of the old hatreds began to stir again. Those who held these old hatreds became known as villains, while those who fought them became known as heroes. "Are you sure this will work?" one of the figures around the table ask. All are dressed in black and hide their faces. No one wants to be known to anyone else in 'this' type of alliance. "I'm certain of it. We need to simply kill the few true heroes left, and then expose the rest for the self righteous corrupt creatures they are. I've already started gathering the pieces I need." "What's the end goal here?" a third figure asks. "To purge the world of corruption and all those who turn a blind eye to it." There is a long silence before a fourth voice speaks out. "Your talking about mass slaughter. I won't be a part of this." the figure stands and begins to leave the table. "It seems there is corruption in our very own ranks.... I suppose the best place to start is within the inner vessel, is it not?" "No! What are you Doing? Stop!"

The Boy with Bad Habits
I began writing this at 15 and finished it at 17. It is my first novel, give me grace for that. [Warning: this book contains explicit content, crude language, drug use & abusive scenarios.] He tried everything, everything, everything to forget her. No matter how hard he fought, the memories wouldn't fade. She wasn't some dream girl, she was the dreamy one who taunted him. A blonde viper that shattered every part of him. But picking up the pieces? That's the part he never thought he'd get around to. Ace Valentino doesn't do what people expect-he's the guy who walks on the wild side just because he wants to. A brooding young man with a dark side fueled by brokenness, addiction, and bad decisions. His heart is still held hostage by his stoic, adrenaline-obsessed ex. How could he move on with that? It isn't plausible. So, he drowns the pain with alcohol and anything that numbs him. But Ace has secrets, ones he vowed to bury forever. Then, his new neighbor moves in and suddenly, something inside him stirs-something he's not ready for, and everything he's terrified of. Willow Andrews, sweet yet scarred, knows nothing but loneliness. Her guardian's abuse has built walls around her big heart. Love is a stranger to her, and she's afraid of what she doesn't understand. But something about Ace, the tortured soul next door, draws her in-despite the fear. In a world where love is something they can't quite reach, Ace and Willow collide. What could possibly come of this? Can they save each other, or will their pasts break them before they have a chance? The line between magic and misery is thinner than they think-and the change they both desperately need might just be the thing that destroys them, or... sets them free.Complete

The Guardian
When Julianna was four, she witnessed her mother murdered in a mugging gone wrong, a murder that her guardian angel wasn't able to stop. However, during that encounter, her guardian angel created a connection with her, a connection that meant that he could walk in her dreams, monitor her emotions, and talk to her telepathically. The catch? She couldn't know of Seth's identity outside her mind until she was twenty-one. Fourteen years later, she was a recovering alcoholic who self-harmed as a method of controlling her emotions. She hates herself, both for the fact that she's an alcoholic as well as because she can't remember anything at all about her mother. Everything comes to a head when Julianna is drugged against her will at a party, and with Seth's support she learns to protect herself and to act in a self-supportive manner. I will try to publish a chapter a day to give people a good chance to comment on the book.Complete
𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚 𝑮𝒊𝒓𝒍'𝒔 𝑷𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓
**𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚. He kills people for power. One dare will change everything.** Twenty-two-year-old Auriella Martinez lives for the nights-the parties, the drinks, the dares that pay just enough to forget the bruises her father leaves behind. With her long black hair, blue eyes, and reckless smile, she's the life of every party, the girl who never says no to a challenge. But behind the laughter and the liquor, she's drowning in secrets she can never tell. Then comes the dare that breaks all the rules: kiss Austin Blackwood for a hundred dollars. Austin is everything Auriella should avoid-wealthy, dangerous, and wrapped in shadows darker than the tattoos covering his skin. As a high-ranking member of a secret mafia organization, he's a man who takes what he wants and destroys what gets in his way. He's never let anyone close. Never cared about anyone. Until he tastes the party girl's lips and decides she's his. Now Austin is showing up everywhere-her café, her cheer practice, her favorite bars-watching her with eyes that promise possession and protection in equal measure. He sees the bruises she tries to hide, the pain beneath her smile, and he wants to save her from it all. Even if she doesn't want to be saved. Even if saving her means destroying everything in his path. But Auriella isn't looking for a savior. She's not looking for love. She's just trying to survive until she can escape the prison her home has become. The last thing she needs is a gorgeous, obsessive mafia man who looks at her like she's something worth killing for. As Austin's world of violence and power collides with Auriella's world of parties and pretend, the line between protection and possession begins to blur. Because Austin doesn't just want to save her-he wants to own her, body and soul. And he always gets what he wants. Even if it destroys them both. ---
