In a society where one man, High Lord Kolak rules, and creativity, love, joy, and emotion is not only discouraged, but illegal and in most cases punishable by, there are the few called the Specials that possess the ability to create things with a mere word or in some cases thought. But in this society those people are killed. And whole branches of the government are dedicated to finding these people. 
Nia isn't normal. But that is okay because no one knows- not even she does. And as long as it stays that way she is fine. But when her uncle, the man who has been raising her since her parents died when she was 9, suddenly goes missing her safe life is about to change. Especially when she meets Greyson, the mysterious boy who seems to know all about her, but whom she can't figure out. As she begins to fall for him she realizes that she may have to risk everything to be with him. And with the fate of an entire society resting on her shoulders, she is about to find out that she is a lot stronger than she thought.

An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply.

Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever.

In love with a Hitman (Hitman Series Pt. 2)

25 parts Complete Mature

This is the second book in the Hitman series, it can be read as a standalone but you'll understand characters a bit better if you read 'Falling for a Hitman' first. Get hooked on the fast paced, heart racing action, and fall for the romance. The second I heard her say my name I knew I was in too deep. I knew I'd do everything in my power to protect her. When her ex came to town I made sure to do just that. When she finished her shower that first night in my home, I fell for her. Never in a million years did I think love at first sight existed but dammit was I wrong. I have nightmares, I ran far to get away from my ex. I never thought he would find me after I changed my name and moved 1500 miles away from my hometown. When he whispered in my ear I thought I was going to die right there in the middle of the dance floor. Luckily I had big strong tattooed arms to fall into, and I never wanted to leave that embrace. We knew nothing about the other. The deceit, the lies we've told, the demons we have both left behind. Not to mention the doubt and everything that could ruin whatever future we could possibly have. She's worth it. He's worth it.
