Lily was a loud, happy girl. That is, until her house burned down and she lost everything. Including her family.
She blames herself. She was the only one that survived, by pure luck, or so everyone believes. Now she lives with her aunt whom she has never met until now.
She stops talking, rarely eats a full meal, and stays out of the house, roaming the countryside aimlessly.
That is, until he meets her, the "mute" girl in school, who no one's ever heard speak a single word. He saved her more than once, risking his own life but in a way she wasn't grateful.
But that's not the entire story. Not even close.

Her whole life was changed when three gorgeous men moved into the run down house next door. She soon finds out there is a whole other half to her, that she never knew about. Along the way she finds herself wrapped up in love with the guy next door. 'Happy birthday to me!' she thought. The three men that were standing next to the truck talking were the most impressive things she has ever seen. The youngest looking one was blonde with green eyes, and you could see through his tight shirt that he must work out a lot. The next guy had a sandy blonde colored hair and his eyes looked to be brown, she couldn't be sure since she only got a quick glimpse before he turned to talk to the last man. The last man was taller than the others; he looked as he would be the oldest of the three. He had dark black hair and blue eyes. Not the sky blue like her eyes, these were like a dark sapphire blue something that she had never seen before. She could see every muscle of his arms and chest through his tight shirt. She found herself gawking at the man and had to make herself turn away and close her mouth that was obviously hanging open in surprise. Don't get yourself all worked up, it's probably just the moving guys. The people who move in are probably going to be an old grumpy couple that never wants company she told herself. At the same time she couldn't stop wishing that she was wrong and that these men were going to be her new next door neighbors.Complete

Protecting The Lead
'Who turned off the lights' 'Why does my head hurt '. I grimace in pain as I try to open my eyes. At first every thing is blurry but it soon starts to clear up and - 'Wow! Is this heaven? Am I dead' I wondered as I stared in complete awe at the blonde blue -eyed angel in front of me. "Hey! You're awake" ~What! Leaving me dazed and confused, the angel rushes off calling out to something or someone, I'm not quite sure. I try to focus on the sound of her voice but the ringing in my ear coupled with the pain makes it impossible. 'Wait! I know that voice. Isn't that -' ARRRGGGHH! A mind numbing pain hits me as I begin to recall fragments of memories. My scream seems to have attracted the attention of the angel who runs back to me muttering words that I cannot hear, but it seems this time she is not alone. I feel myself slipping slowly back into unconsciousness as I take one last look at the blonde angel. "You - you saved me" I believe that it was at this moment I promised myself I would protect Esmeralda - no matter what!
