Bittersweet Redemption
Elizabeth Daniels has spent the past four years climbing her way up from the bottom of New York's impossibly steep social ladder. With nothing else on her mind but the intense hatred that drives her, she sought out the help she needed and conquered her dreams. Just when victory is on the horizon, her catastrophic past catches up with her. As a result of her estranged father's death, Eliza is forced to face the tragic past that lurks in every corner of her small hometown in Alabama. Not only must she face a past that haunts her, but she also discovers her father has been housing a foster child for the past year.
But even worse than that, she must come face to face with the man that would always be considered 'too good' for the likes of her, in spite of the fact that she has become one of New York's finest and most sought after bridal gown designers. The walls she's carefully built over the years will come crashing down around her. Truths will reveal themselves and the bittersweet passion between the two will return and be as explosive as ever. But will it be enough?
In the conclusion of Bittersweet Redemption, Eliza and Austin must overcome their biggest battle yet. Can they conquer the truth of their ugly past? Or will they ultimately let it control their fate? After all, Austin is a blue blood and Eliza will always be a simple farm girl at heart.

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
The Lost Boy
I growled loudly, wrapping my arm around her body. I scooped her up, in one swift motion, setting her on top of the island. I let my breath lace her neck, as I grabbed a fist full of hair, pulling her head back. "Is this too much?" I ask, careful not to make her feel uncomfortable. "No." She whispered, her head still tilted back. I move my lips along her neck to her collarbone, leaving soft kisses along her skin. My cock started to have a mind of his own, stiffening in my jeans. I slid my tongue along her collarbone, back up her neck. "I want to fuck you." I whisper in her ear, her skin laced with goosebumps. She moaned loudly, pushing me into her, her lips trailing along my neck. Caleb Helms, is a city boy from the North Side of Chicago.
