Vivica Chat seems to be your run-of-the-mill teenage runaway. Greasy unkempt hair and clothes, pitiful expression, and a jaded demeanor. Then she stumbles, a wandering vagabond, into the small village of Verger's Corners, nestled quietly away in a foreboding forest. The name seems familiar to her, and with nowhere else to go she seeks refuge there. To her delight, the town graciously accepts her.
All is well.
Then she meets Lucius Verger, and uncovers a trail of tears back to the town's nefarious origins. And Lucius' father, Vincent Verger, the charming, yet off-putting mayor, isn't too keen on letting her stay anymore... Nor is he willing to let her leave.

The Guardian
When Julianna was four, she witnessed her mother murdered in a mugging gone wrong, a murder that her guardian angel wasn't able to stop. However, during that encounter, her guardian angel created a connection with her, a connection that meant that he could walk in her dreams, monitor her emotions, and talk to her telepathically. The catch? She couldn't know of Seth's identity outside her mind until she was twenty-one. Fourteen years later, she was a recovering alcoholic who self-harmed as a method of controlling her emotions. She hates herself, both for the fact that she's an alcoholic as well as because she can't remember anything at all about her mother. Everything comes to a head when Julianna is drugged against her will at a party, and with Seth's support she learns to protect herself and to act in a self-supportive manner. I will try to publish a chapter a day to give people a good chance to comment on the book.Complete
