She was only a debt to him... or so she thought.

Sometimes the best things in life aren't real

This story takes place when Aaliyah Wyndham is a twenty-year-old intern, working in Los Angeles for the summer while staying with family friend, Lucas D'Alessandro. Lucas seems to have gone a little Hollywood since he left South Carolina. It's all about the girls, the cars and the money. How will Aaliyah enjoy living with L-Money?

There there is the mysterious guy she meets while waiting at the airport. She's surprised to find that he isn't some sarcastic jerk after all. He's Fuminori Kawaguchi, someone whose friendship she thought lost to her a long time ago. The two will renew their acquaintance as they bond over the summer, when they're not both working towards their futures.

Their summer romance is complicated by Lucas' overprotective nature, and by his rampant hypocrisy. I mean, how many women will Aaliyah have to watch him turn away at the door before he stops shadowing her on dates? Doesn't he understand that she's all grown up, now, and that she can handle herself?

How will she cope with the unwelcome fame that comes along with being The Next Big Thing's apparent love interest? Will Fumi continue modeling, or will he return to his studies, and pursue the future his family expects of him, the future he's always thought he wanted?

Most of all, what will happen in the future? Is this just a summer romance, or can their hearts stand the test of time and distance? Find out in A Summer Heart.

This story is a free prequel to Amended Hearts, but is a standalone. You do not have to read Amended Hearts to understand this story, but you may want to read it, anyway, to find out what ultimately happens to Aaliyah. It may be published, but will remain free to read in its entirety.

Illyana is a young wolf during an age of lone wolves and fewer females...

I was saved by him. Saved by a ghost. A Specter. And while I lived my life in his debt, hoping to one day do right the wrong that was done to me, I became just like him. A Ghost. A Specter.

Warrick Mungo was a senior in college at Wolfpax University. Son of the Alpha Rex, or Alpha King, he enjoyed all of the benefits of his position as Royal Enforcer and Captain of the Claw Ball team. He was the youngest of fourteen sons. Why did he have to be the one to receive the Alpha Rex gene, anyway? It was always the eldest son of the Alpha Rex and his true mate. Everybody knew that. Warrick just didn't understand how his parents expected for him to put any effort into locating his mate so that he could settle down, when there were so many interesting flavors still left to sample. Then there was The Problem. The one that seemed to unnerve even his father. Everyone thought that if he just found his Regina, his balance, The Problem would be automatically under control. He isn't so sure that just meeting his Regina will make everything right. What if she fears him, too? What if his responsibilities put her in danger? All he knows for sure is that he's not ready to meet her...yet.

     Thandie was in a category all her own. A certified genius of geniuses, she had come to the university on a mission to find her purpose in life. You'd think that four PhD's would have done that already, but no. She was bored again, and a bored Thandie was a terror that her Alpha simply could not allow. So when she turned eighteen, he sent her to the territory of the Alpha Rex while she attended Wolfpax U. Socially awkward, overweight and haphazardly dressed, and then there's The Other Part that shall not be named outside of the pack house. Let's just say that she had always stood out. Her pack, and her Alpha, always loved and protected her tender and loving heart. The Alpha even sent fifty Enforcers to University with her just for her protection from...well her own clumsiness for starters. They were also in place to stop others from discovering...well, The Other Part. How will she cope with leaving home to go away to school for the first time ever, without her beloved brother, Theo? How will she cope with the path she must walk to get there? Moreover, is she ready for the possibility that she will finally meet her mate?
