After several months of seeing each other, Clinton asks Abigail to be his wife. Elated, Abigail accepts. That night, the African fiancée receives a threat by a hand-written letter, stating that if she doesn't step back from Clinton, some horrible harm would come to him. Abigail's heart is shattered, but she knows she could never be held responsible for her loved one's death.
Abigail meets with Clinton under the cover of the next night, and coldly returns the engagement ring, hoping against hope that her manner would turn him away from her, and toward safety.
A year later, Abigail is finding it harder and harder to stay safe in the community that brands her more as an animal then a human, and boards a ship to travel to a distant relative, leaving behind all dreams of a life with Clinton.
Clinton hears talk of Abigail Simmons leaving, and makes plans to board the same ship. Events that followed Abigail's rejection made him believe that it was more out of intimidation, and less out of a change of heart, and the man is eager to restore the link their souls once owned.
However, things don't go quite according to plans, and a wild storm lands the two of them on an island, stranded. As events unfold, it seems the prejudice that held the two apart still lurks on the island. Abigail and Clinton discover others on the island, but would failed to discover the scheme that they had in mind until it's too late.
Though the trials and hellish trauma, Clinton strives to show Abigail that no matter the views of their society, if she lets go of the fear that shackles her heart, love will allow them to unite.
But even Clinton starts to doubt if he can chip the cold lies and hatred away from Abigail's heart before they completely freeze and distort any hope of them becoming as one.

Sweetheart
[COMPLETE] 18+ (but if you're not 18, I won't tell on you) --- It had been a mistake. It had all happened so fast. The look on her parents' faces when they found out had been devastating. Perhaps that was why she didn't complain when they decided to send her to a small village in Canada, away from the chaotic and luxurious Los Angeles, with the excuse of being an exchange student for a year. Grace Castle was more than happy to welcome Elizabeth "Lizzie" Wright in her modest house, along with her son Nate and, well, Aaron. It had been 2 years since Grace had taken in the troubled 18-year-old boy, after the tragedy that had occurred to him and his family. Dark and untamable like smoke, Aaron was the exact opposite of Lizzie, groomed to be the perfect woman, always following the rules, and stepping out of line only that one time. One time that cost her a year away from her old city, far away from curious ears and judging eyes. A year that was going to change her life completely, tumbling into a den of lions ready to devour her as soon as they had her in their pack as one of their own. He would not let her have it easy. It was time for sweet, docile Lizzie to face the world and its snakes. He'd make sure of that. Though... was he sure she was not just yet another wolf in a sheep's clothing? Was her heart as pure as he believed, or could it be shaded with swirls of gray smoke like his? ---Complete

Or so had she thought until she collided with the cheeky green-eyed boy, Kayden Lawson, who had the most charming tricks up his sleeve - tricks just smooth enough to make Elaine realise, that maybe, indeed, she did wear her heart out on her sleeve. Maybe, for a few late night talks, stolen glances and shy flirty exchanges - Elaine was completely willing to change everything about herself - to fit in. To make Kayden keep looking at her. But unfortunately, every person does not know how to keep care of another's heart, and often end up breaking them. And spoiler alert, Kayden turned out to be one of them. Too bad that even after her heart was abandoned, Elaine's heart kept singing Kayden's name like a long-forgotten song.
