Gasp of Air
When Dani agrees to drive a drunken Shane Olsen home, she assumes it's just a simple favor-one night, one ride, nothing more. But that single act pulls her into a world she never expected. As she learns more about Shane, she begins to uncover the pain and secrets he keeps buried beneath his carefully crafted exterior. In the process, she starts to see the cracks in her own life, realizing how much she has been merely surviving rather than truly living. Shane has spent years enduring neglect and abuse, learning the hard way that the people who appear perfect often hide the darkest truths. With Dani, he finds someone who sees beyond his mistakes, someone who challenges him to believe he's capable of more. But their relationship is anything but easy-tangled in struggles, unspoken fears, and the weight of the past, they fight to avoid becoming the very people who hurt them. As they grow closer, both Dani and Shane must decide if they can break free from the cycles of pain and regret that defined their parents' lives-or if they are doomed to repeat them.Complete

Unintended Consequences
"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.
