"What you don't know can't hurt you."
"Ignorance is bliss?"
"It is."
"I call Bullshit."
---------
Alexis Shae Kordel never once thought of herself as a 'handful' of a child. Despite what most of her babysitters said, her past did not intervene with her growth into adulthood at all. Hell, she almost forgot what had happened so long ago. To be fair, she was young.
It was almost as though she carried invisible strings with her wherever she went. When you meet Shae, you're tied to her for life. No way out - no matter how hard you tug at the strings.
Not an ounce of social skills in the girl, and yet she draws people in like a large, human magnet.
But she was so blissfully ignorant.
She didn't know of the chaos that followed in her shadow, building until it strikes.
And all the people tangled in her invisible strings of fate are her shields without knowing it.
But a person can only take a beating for so long.
Yet there's no way out.
What happens when someone who knows too much finds a thin, delicate piece of thread tied to their wrist after meeting a strange girl.
"What you don't know can't hurt you."
But they do know.
It's too late to be ignorant.
Who becomes the shield now? Who becomes the shielded?
And how do you keep that stubborn, snoopy girl from getting herself hurt?

Dominant Book 2
Dominant. A person of aggression, disrespect is never in their tolerance. Prideful, strong, and fearless... none would come across them. Alexandrielle is known to be one of them, yet, she's different somehow. She's a female...a rare beauty and specimen. All males would kill just to have her. But that's the thing, only the strongest can be tied with the strongest. And the strongest of the male dominants...is no other than Zach Harrison himself who had done such unforgivable sins to her. Will she grow to forgive each and everyone of those who have betrayed her in the past? Or will she turn into what her grandfather fears the most? ****** He made a grave mistake, running between them, I crashed him in the wall. Throat between a vice grip of raging queen, he gasped for air. "No one, I repeat NO ONE! Has the right to hurt my mother. You have hurted her enough, you have pushed us apart, you have destroyed your FAMILY! And I've been so disgusted to even know that your blood is actually surging through my veins. But you made a mistake...a GRAVE MISTAKE. Because I'm sure as hell, I became the monster you always have your nightmares on. Wasn't that right, grandpa?" I asked in a sickly sweet voice and his face contort in horror. Even in my young years, I know he have nightmares about me becoming a monster, someone who is half-dead and only knows of destruction. That's what submissives and even dominants fear. A dominant that destroys, and I'm sure as hell...that grandpa is watching his very own worst fears come true before his eyes. ***** Warning⚠, if you guys are interested in this, please find the first book which is in my profile.

Keep it Casual
She's lived the last 20 years trying not dwell on the traumatic hardships of her past as they constantly replay in the back of her mind. Made a promise to live a full (semi carefree) life, spreading love and joy, all the while never wanting (more like fearing) anything permanent. It can feel lonely, but it's how she's always coped. And with his own hardships, he's not looking for anything other than to have a good time and celebrate with old friends on their new chapter in life. Somewhat acquainted due to mutual friends from back in the wonderfully exciting years of puberty and teenage drama, two young adults reconnect in a new kind of way. Deeper and more complex than they could ever prepare themselves for. Keeping things casual is a lot easier said than done. The real question is, do they want to? ---------------------------------------------------------- "No te preocupes, Princesa. I won't spill the tea." He winks then takes a step closer towards the other man. "But we're gonna have to have a little... Talk. Man to man." The 25 year old woman is right there blocking the young mechanic as he takes a few menacing steps forwards, again. He then lets out a breathy laugh at the worried look on the young woman's face. Looking towards the slight older man, eyes locked on his every movement, Rio mangages to speak between his menacing laughter. Said laughter coming out light and amused at first, but then turns into such twisted amusement it causes a spike of anxiety in the younger woman. It's almost like it's all a sick joke to him at the moment. "...Uh, I- I ain't- I ain't- I ain't gonna kill nobody." He chuckles as he looks around at no one in particular with a twinkle in his eyes, taking a deep breath. "Nah, man. But this little... Fling... Y'all got going on... Fo' sure. Most definitely."

Just Grey: In a Black & White World
"But just look at the world around you, Love. There's messes everywhere with unclear answers. Don't give up yet." She told me gently. "I know, but I just wish that this was less confusing." "Well, things are gonna get confusing after a while, but you can't just stop trying. You've got to search harder for the answer; maybe it's somewhere you haven't looked yet. Someday you'll trip over a rock that's harder than this, and bandaids won't just stare you in the face. You won't know what to do. So prepare yourself for that day, baby." "I'm gonna trip over a rock?" I asked, eyes widening with worry. She shook her head, the bubbly symphony of her laughs echoing in the room. "No. I mean you're going to be in trouble one day and you won't know how to get out of it. Like this, but tougher." "You mean I'll have to go through this again? But even harder? Ugh, I won't make it." I sighed heavily. "No. I know you will. It just won't be so black and white. It'll be....in between the two." "So it'll be just grey?" She revealed her big, beautiful smile to me as if I had understood all that is right and wrong in the world. Kissing the top of my head, she whispered, "Exactly." {full synopsis inside} Rankings- #16 in juveniles #94 in newkid #241 in multimedia FULLY EDITED VERSION NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON KINDLE!!Complete

Blame for Blame ✔
"One body: A death, a suicide, and now a murder. Lunacy is settling over, leaving its fingerprints on them, while breathing down their necks. The warm kiss of air is mistaken for nothing but a midnight breeze, and finger prints not much more than dirt. "Are you worthy enough, huh? Do you think I'm such a fool? You'll die there. Ashton Kahn. Mark my words. You are going to die and your family is going to live a dead life. You know what grief is? Of course, why would YOU know? You haven't been miserable for once in your life, have you? You have always been the super-star, haven't you? Of course you'll die. You deserve nothing but a deadly, rotten grave. You are such a chick, aren't you? Huh. I hate you Ashton Kahn. You are so mean. You think wealth is the world. You think beauty is the world. Don't you find having the best muscles, having the best grades, having the perfect eyes, having the perfect clothes, shoes-" Her words were so powerful, her expression meaner. She meant it. And how right she was. There I was, living a beautiful life. Of course I had no idea what misery is. I'd never been miserable for a second. Hah. She was giving me a lesson. The feeling was so intense, her words ruling my brain, empowering my veins. I was so useless. Have I ever cried? Have I ever thought why people say Life is just a Lie? Did I ever care why was the guy behind the coffee shop shutters crying? Did I ever gave it a second thought what did that guy felt when I called him Bozo? Or what was going on with that girl I heard of whose parents died a day ago? Of course, what was I capable of feeling? And there I had always thought I was the perfect me. The boy who could do anything. The boy who ruled. The boy who lived. Life is just a Lie. And for the first time in ever, I felt it to be so, so real. The reality of this was ever-awakening, it's power would have killed a soul. Life is just a Lie.Complete
