Niaomi Douglas's life is a constant struggle. A struggle to keep her brother safe from their father, a struggle to stay out of way of the gangs at school, a struggle to stop hearing the voices in her head. Only one thing makes it all bearable: her knife.
Then she meets Nicholas Williams, whose too kind, too sincere, and too perfect to be hers. His touch is the only thing that can offer a substitute for her knife, and he seems just as interested in her as she refuses to be with him.
But his own life - and goals - are not as perfect as he appears to be. And with both of their bitter pasts haunting them, Niaomi and Nicholas will be forced to rise above the tide of their sorrows lest they drown within them.
"Knives Make Lives" is a tale of abuse, family, and the strive for perfection that drives us all. And it is this that will drive the two either into love...or into destruction.

"In whispers, they called me an animal, arrogant, a brute and a bastard. Fucking you name it - I've been called it and they're right I'm all those things - and more."

E-BOOK AND PAPERBACK AVAILABLE ON AMAZON NOW!! - - - MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY - - - When you're born, you are born with an engraving tattooed upon your skin. It is given to you, to determine what man or woman should be your lover. Who should be with you forever once you find them. If you find them. It's a mark that is only half-finished, the other half left on your soulmate's body. Heat emerges on the area of your mark when they're near, and cold grows the farther you are apart. For Anna Cardale, her shoulder is covered in what looks to be half of a wing. A beautiful red and delicate wing. She's quiet, stoic, and doesn't let anyone in. And she certainly doesn't care for a "soulmate" ever since escaping a terrifying past life. But when she moves to a new town and to a new school with a new care home family, her skin heats up. She feels her stomach churn in unnerved expression. It's as if something is yearning to pull her closer. And then she sees him. For it wasn't something that pulled her in. It was someone. And just like her, demons are living deep inside of his soul. Dreaded demons that keep him company. Can she heal him? Or is the other way around? Or perhaps the demons are always the ones who prevail... - - - "I'm sad that this wonderful book is coming to an end. 😢" - LlexieD "This book was phenomenal!

When Things Go the Wrong Right Way
Excerpt: "What the hell?" I said pulling at my right wrist that was attached to the headboard. "It's about time you woke up." Dante chuckled as he walked out of a dark corner. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Having fun... See the more you suffer the more amused I am." He smirked "Nicholas will be home soon, he will stop whatever you have planned." "He forgot to mention in that note he left, he's going to be gone until late tonight." He grinned. "Where is he? What did you do to him?" I sounded a lot braver in my head, but all that came out was shaking sentences and shivers. "He's going to see an old friend, I didn't do anything." "Look, this isn't funny. I need to study, I have a test tomorrow." "You'll be there, after..." He never finished his sentence, instead he left me hanging in suspense. My eyes widened in horror as he pulled out a tattoo gun. "Dante," I warned. "Don't do anything you will regret." ----- Marie just wanted to get away from her hurtful older brother. Little did she know that the mysterious stranger she met in the woods would cause her life to turn upside down and things she never thought could be real, are.Complete![You Won't Be Alone [BxB]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/397539668-256-k93324.jpg)
