Madison DuMont, English by birth but raised in New York, has returned to England to pursue her dream of being a top ballerina with her best friend and fellow dancer, Dante Palmer. After encountering the same racial issues with being a black ballerina in a predominantly white field she experienced in NY, Madison invests her inheritance in opening her own ballet company. A chance meeting with Matthew Bradley one night leads her down an unexpected path where she battles her personal perceptions of interracial relationships and whether they are worth it.
When rockstar Adam Brand makes a racist remark during a drunken magazine interview, it becomes an international headline. Within hours his PR Agent concocts the perfect plan to revive his rapidly sinking career before it’s too late, but will Adam be able to pull it off?
**** STEREO has been removed for editing, refining and if all goes according to plan, publishing! I couldn't have finished it without all my readers leaving their words and thoughts--even if I didn't always like them--so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. <3

She soon finds herself living in the small rural town of Millersville, Georgia, with her estranged grandmother. Millersville is a place where time stands still and the racial divide is as prevalent as the 1950s. Secrets, lies, and betrayal lurk in every corner. Yet, through it all she finds solace in the arms of Ryan Quinn, a white senior track star and the son of the town Sherriff.

College student Rory Daniels has a problem, and it isn’t how she’s going to pass her final exams.
You see, she can do this thing where she can manipulate objects… and other things, and as far as she knows she’s the only one who can. So when she’s forced to use her powers at a crowded bookstore and attracts the attention of a fellow student, she’s anything but happy about it. When it turns out the student has no interest in turning her over to the government and actually wants, of all things, a double date, she’s pleasantly surprised. That is, until her date ditches her for her friend and she ends up stuck with his.
His friend turns out to be Victor Ryken. He’s tall. Built like a Greek god and has a set of the most memorizing hazel eyes Rory’s ever seen. And, oh yeah, he does nothing but infuriate her. After the date from hell, Vic has for some reason taken an increased interest in her and what’s worse… her powers light up every time he touches her. When Vic’s around her abilities go haywire and his presence marks the beginning of a string of unusual events. Suddenly, she’s become a person of interest to nearly everyone she meets and strange people pop up in her life that have her question her own weirdness. When Vic himself displays a whole new level of weird while saving her from an attacker, Rory ends up concluding one thing.
Maybe she’s not as alone as she thinks.

Kayla had only had two real relationships in her life, okay let's be honest one and she wasn't even sure that was the real thing. It had been over seven years ago. She had always focused on her career, she was what they called a workaholic, her best friends India and Traci would tell her she was sexually deprived, that she needed to started living before she woke up one morning and life had passed her bye. However, never in her right mind did she think she would be in a predicament like this, it was totally out of her character to let something like this happen, and to let it happen like this. It was overwhelming more like surreal an impulsive act, or so she thought. Could it have been a calculating move on his part or was it just something that happened to happen. But if they both were completely honest with themselves it had been building ever since that faithful snowy morning.
