My whole life, I've dreamed of being one thing. A professional wrestler.When I lost the only person in my life that I gave a shit about, I threw everything I had into making that dream a reality. After years of putting my body on the line, I got my chance with Harbour Front Wrestling Alliance.They saw something in me and after proving myself worthy, they handed me the brass ring.The HFWA Heavyweight Championship.I was sitting on top of the world.Nothing and no one could stop me.Until someone did. Me. Now, stripped of everything I love and with nothing left to fight for, I'm on a path of self-destruction. One that can only end one way. Death.It's just too bad Kimberlee had other plans. For me...and my heart. Every story, whether real or imagined, needs a hero. But what happens when the hero isn't strong enough to fight?He tags in a partner. A Heroine.

JaxBeen thinking about you a lot today. Wanted to touch base. Miss you babe. XOXOFourteen wordsThe number of words it takes in a text message, along with some perfectly placed hugs and kisses, for me to lose the love of my life.Three MonthsThe time spent having to live without her. Twenty YearsHow long I've spent believing that pro wrestling is what I was born to do.Who I was meant to be.One WeekAll the time needed for Avery Davis to prove the last twenty years wrong, showing me what I was really made to be.Hers.One More Shot.What I need in order to make things right.To win the real prize.Avery's heart.And this time...never let it go.BradyIf you're here looking for cleverly placed buzz words or declarations of love, you're shit out of luck. But if you're a fan of keeping shit real, settle in and let me tell you a little story.My name is Brady Raines and for the last twenty-eight years, I've been born and bred to do only one thing. Grab the reins (get it?) from my father and rise to the top of the wrestling business the way he did thirty years before me.I was more than happy to do it.At least I was until I turned seventeen and stupidly fell in what I thought was true love. So sure about it that I dropped to one knee two years later and proposed.(Hey now. I never said it was gonna be a good story)But like a lot of things in my life that don't center on what I do in the ring, I managed to screw that up too. Completely unable to see the very clear writing on the wall until I had it kicked into me by a little spitfire from a Podunk town in Delaware.Somewhere in the midst of a hilarious case of mistaken identity and some twin magic, before the cliff diving, but after the bowling, the little spitfire did something I didn't think anyone would ever be capable of doing again.She stole my heart.So...I lied.This is a love declaration, but did you really expect it to go down any other way?Emery, If you're listening, you were right. I screwed up.And I swear to you, the next time we see each other, things will be better.I'll be better.I'll be the man you deserve.I swear it. I'm Brady, the other idiot up there is Jackson, and this is the story of how two beautifully identical women taught our dumb asses the greatest lesson of all.Love Always Wins

"Look forward." They say. "Focus on what comes next. Not on what came before." I want to do that. I just can't. Not until I find that book, hand it over, and make Isabelle see that even when things were at their bleakest, she was there. Make her understand that she's always been with me. Right from the very start. Every happy ending has a beginning... This is ours.

Daughter. Sister. Best Friend. Quiet girl with a heart of gold. My name is Reagan Carter, and this-what you see above-is my life. At least it was until Cole showed up and me question everything I've ever known. I've always thought there was something different about me, but now he's given me the reason why. The windows to my glass house have been shattered and there's no way with what I know now, they can ever be put back together again. Reagan Carter is dead. And now it's up to me to remember Sunday.

Ryan McGregor's whole life changed the day he met Serenity Richards. Not only did he learn the truth about who and what he really is, but he found a love in her that he never even knew was possible. But she's missing now and with each day that passes without her, the darkness threatens to take hold. Showing him the part of his life that he's been doing everything in his power to escape. Everyone has a story, a life lived before a person or event comes along, leaving their mark and changing it forever. In Love United you met the man desperate to leave his mark on the world. The hybrid that was so affected by love that he went against everything he had ever known or believed in. This is his story. The story of Ryan before Serenity. And the story that years later threatens to leave him living in a world without the one thing he desperately needs. The light.

Shattered glass. Blood droplets. The scent of rust permeating the air. The loss of the only person who ever gave a shit about me.This is my reality. An accident caused because I couldn't be what the rest of the world needed me to be. I just had to let the selfish part of me win, and in the end, it cost me everything. My family. My friends. My life. It's a mistake I'm not looking to repeat. At least, not until him. Isaac Crawford is toxic, and it has nothing to do with his inability to speak.It's because he threatens everything I've spent the last two years trying to bury.One look-one chance meeting in a conference room, was all it took for him to get under my skin, and now that he's done it, there's no turning back.The untouched is creating the unbroken.

A father convicted of criminal mischief and sentenced to twenty years in prison. A mother who's so lost in the bottom of a bottle of pills, most days I'm not even sure she knows her own name. You'd think with role models like that, I'd know what to avoid. But if you know anything about me at all, nothing simple is ever really that simple. Cadence changed all of that. Making me feel and experience things that for the last eleven years I thought were only meant for fairy tales and dreams. She gave me my heart back, bringing hope and faith along for the ride, until all I could hear was her. She became my world, a beginning with no end, and it was so damn beautiful that I started to believe there was nothing that would ever tear us apart. Until something, or rather someone did. Me. I've been told that love isn't about trying, failing and giving up when things get hard. That real love is continuing to try despite it, so just like a year ago, I'm going to do it again, and this time around our beginning will have an end. Cadence and Dillon together. Forever. I'm in the fight of my life and this time, I don't plan to lose.

Anger, Resentment, Jealousy, Rage, Violence, Hate and Fear. For eighteen years, this is all I've known. When everything seemed to crash and burn around me, I could always count on those seven things to get me through. At least that's how it was until Isabelle. With one brief look across a crowded parking lot, she altered my entire existence. Erasing all of the things I thought I could count on and replacing them with ones of her own. Things that even now, a year later, I still don't think I deserve. Forgiveness, Understanding, Acceptance, Friendship, Redemption, Hope and Love. So what do you do when you've been given all of these things by the most beautiful person on the planet with nothing expected in return? Well when you're me, you find a way to screw it up. She thinks I'm the strong one. That I'm not afraid of anything. She's wrong. I'm afraid of a lot of things, but the absolute worst is losing her. Losing yet another person I love and being powerless to stop it. I can't lose Belle. I just can't. Even if losing her is exactly what I deserve. You thought our story was complete, but what you're about to find out, is no story ever really ends. It just finds new ways to begin again.

Numbers. They're significant. In my life each one meaning more than the one before it. Seven years. Two thousand, five hundred and fifty five days.That's how long it's been since I learned I have Asperger's Syndrome.Five years. One thousand, seven hundred and twenty days. How long I've been in therapy because of it.One chance meeting.All it took for my world to be turned upside down and for me to learn that even in the worst human being, there's a story to tell and sometimes, the cover to that story can be misleading.I'm Eric Carmen. She's Amelia Evans and this is our story.The perfect storm.

What if things didn't turn out the way you expected and the future you believed in, disappeared right before your very eyes? Would you be able to move on? Could you pick up the pieces and craft a new beginning? Serenity Richards has always believed she knew the ending to her story, but what she's about to learn is that picture perfect is an illusion. With every ending comes a new beginning. One that may be even better than the one previously written.

There are people that believe because you may not appear the way they do that you're somehow weaker or less worthy than they are. I'm living proof they're wrong. From the day I was born I've always been seen as one thing-deaf. What people don't realize, is just because I can't hear the things they say, doesn't mean I don't feel the pain that comes from their words and actions. I'm more than just the girl that can't hear and I've never been more determined to prove it now that I've been sent here. Wexfield High School. I know everything that happens here and I know even more about the guy who makes it all happen. Dillon Murphy is trouble with a capital T. He goes out of his way to hurt those he perceives to be weaker than him and does it with a smile. What he doesn't realize is that his tricks, they won't work on me because I know his secret. As I'm finding out, there's a lot more to Dillon then he wants the world to see and before my time here is up, I'm determined to make him see it, even if it costs me my heart in the process.

Since the moment of my creation, I have always been one thing. A warrior for Heaven and an asset to the Almighty. It is because of this position and the faith my Father has in me that he heads to Earth, leaving me with an undertaking of my own-one that I may think I have under control, but am quickly coming to learn I am powerless against. There has been talk of the Beloved since the beginning of time, but that is all it is. Talk. Fables told to one another in order to gain some small measure of amusement. There has never been truth to the stories...until Faith. The stubborn-lead with your heart Bringer of Light is the last thing I need and the very thing I am coming to find I can't live without. Will I risk it all, succumbing to the bond in the process or will I turn away from it and Heaven forever? Only time will tell what will happen when an archangel and a ball of light collide. All I know is, no one will ever be the same.

For as long as I remember I've heard them. Voices.My grandmother called it a gift. She said it made me special. If this is a gift, I want to return it. I just want to be normal, like everyone else.At least, I did. Until Ryan. He can hear them too and even more; he knows the reason I hear them at all. Suddenly, I don't feel like such a freak anymore. At least, that's how I felt until I learned the truth.Now all I know is, nothing will ever be the same again.

Graham Hudson has always been meant for one person. Serenity Richards. So what happens when his soulmate, the girl he spent the last seven years head over heels in love with, marries another? He does the one thing he's been fighting all along. He embraces the darkness. Emma Daniels has tried everything in her power to help bring Graham back, but hasn't been able to break through. Left with no other alternative she does the unthinkable. Graham is back and he seems to be better than ever, but no matter how fixed he seems, how close they seem to get, there's always one fear resting comfortably in the back of her mind. What is Graham going to do when he finds out what she did and better yet, will it break everything they've both worked so hard to build?

There are people that tell you high school is the best time of your life.They lied. High school is horrible when you're like me and you're autistic. They think that because I don't talk and I seem to always be lost in my own world, I'm stupid or deaf. Some even think I'm retarded. I'm none of those things and I don't like that word.Just because I've got these issues, doesn't mean it's all I am. There's a lot more to me, but no one really takes the time to get to know it. At least that's how it was until Kayden.Kayden Walker is bad news. He spends his time making people that are different, like me, feel even worse about themselves and he does it with a smile. He's everything I don't need in my life, yet he's the one person I can't seem to live without. Underneath, there's more to him that he's afraid to let the rest of the world see. I've seen it and as I'm finding out, we're not so different after all...

The unthinkable has been done and Lucifer's reign has finally come to an end. The world is back to the way God imagined it to be and with that, true peace, above and below has been achieved. There's only one problem. If everything is the way it's meant to be, why do things still appear broken? With the undertaking behind them, as well as the losses they have suffered, the wedding day is fast approaching. Serenity, Ryan, Michael and Graham have seemingly been through the worst and should be ready to live their lives the way the Almighty intended. Except there is a darkness under the surface that none of them have seen coming. This time, it is not one of Lucifer's creation, but one of their design. Will they be able to face what is before them? Each moving on to the destiny that awaits them, or will they be lost, not only to the world, but each other, forever?

There is one thing in the last twenty two years that I need more than anything. Some would say it's to be normal, others would say that it's to be loved but they would be wrong on all counts. There is one thing above all others that I need more than anything. I need to be wanted. What do you do though when you are given the very thing you need and it's given to you in a package that might not be the most pure? For the last year I have been loved and accepted for who and what I truly am and despite making some bad choices I am still inherently guided by the light. Things have changed. Where I've ended up, the light isn't allowed and my desire to be wanted is being given to me but not in the package I expected it to be. I just can't turn away from it, no matter how wrong it is and to be honest I'm not even sure I would want to even if I could. Even if it means the end of the world...

For as long as I can remember I have always been one thing. I am an abomination, something that according to Heaven and Hell shouldn't even exist. At least that's what I thought until I met her. Serenity came into my life like a hurricane but instead of leaving wreckage in her wake, she made me whole. I seem to have it all. I learned the true art of redemption and I have a second chance at life, despite making such a mess of the last one. If that wasn't enough, I also have the girl. The greatest storyteller couldn't have written me a better ending. The future looked so bright, at least it did until I found out Graham is missing. As I struggle to come back from an injury that should have killed me, my focus is now on just how worried I need to be that I'm stuck with an Archangel while my wife is off aiding in the search for the very person that could take her away from me forever. I might have been redeemed by the light but I still live in the darkness. Is it possible for me to change my true path or am I destined to always be the way I have been?
