There's a girl who's been broken and beaten until she's numb to the world. She's a piece of driftwood, floating across the ocean, having no control, and going under from time to time. Sometimes it gets too much. Sometimes she considers going under for good.

There's a boy who's known death like a brother, but spits in its face every chance he gets . Death nips at his heels in malice, frustrated that someone can live so truly and so deeply. There's nothing the boy celebrates more than his own life.

But what happens when this girl and this boy meet? How is it possible that two polar opposites could need each other so desperately to function? How can someone who stomps death underneath his feet every day mix with someone who struggles to just plain make it through every day? Read At the Corner of Live and Death to find out. 

Warning: This book is mature for a reason. Besides swearing and sexual stuff, there is going to be a lot of talk about suicide, as the main character struggles with depression. It is not meant to upset anyone, on the contrary, it is meant to help people who think either the world is too hard or there's no place for them in it. Please be aware that there will be dark moments in this book, so I wouldn't choose this if you find that hard to read

I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood? "Yes, sir." - - - - - After being continuously hurt, left alone, heart broken and losing the one thing that kept her going, Nia Seymour turns to a new job that will show her how to let loose, live her life and make her happy again. The last thing she expected was to be Taken Captive by someone who would turn her life into chaos, make her addicted to the pain and hold her heart in his hands, breaking it and putting it back together over and over again until she's had enough. • • • The second he lays his eyes on her, Callum Rivera's world is turned upside down and he's made his mind up. She's his. He feeds off of the tears she cries, loves the pain all over her face when he hurts her over and over again, whether it's purposefully or not. As time passes and feelings evolve, soon enough the tears falling out of her eyes no longer give him pleasure, only pain and all he wants is for her to be happy, as long as she's with him. • • • The universe is sending challenge after challenge to these two individuals who want nothing but each other. Will they get past these secrets, lies, toxicity and pain? Or will one of them give up? - - - - -
