'I was falling. And he was going to catch me. I just knew he was.'

For Megan Walden, life is all about perfection. She's the perfect friend, the perfect wife, the perfect office dogsbody, but what happens when she makes a decision that cracks the glass protecting her perfect little world?

During a night-out in the shadow of her effervescent best friend, Megan meets Harper Cain and is instantly intrigued by the mysterious tattooed rocker-type with his trace of Bostonian accent and brooding darkness that lurks behind his smile. Knowing instinctively that she is playing with fire, and yet finding herself inexplicably drawn to the irresistible Harper, Megan embarks on a course that will destroy the foundations of her whole world and force her to question everything and everyone she has ever known.

Plunging headlong into a nightmare she cannot stop, Megan realises too late that playing away with a mysterious stranger is the least of her worries.

It's time for her perfect life to come to an end

Will Harper catch her? Or will Megan be able to save herself?

As the Crow Falls | ✔

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖Complete and fully edited.

The Pursuit of Happyness

To persevere is to make a constant effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failures, or opposition. Life will catch you and pull you down, but making every effort to get up and not give up is the key. Do you want the job? You have to do everything you can to get a job, follow people, make new acquaintances, learn something new. (Just make sure you don't overdo it and drive other people crazy!) When Chris wants an apprenticeship at Dean Witter, he makes sure he knows who's going to help him get it, he makes a personal connection with the person and solves the Rubik's cube for attention. See, the same tactics won't work for you, you can't go around solving Rubik's cubes for attention (thank God, I've never been able to solve one in my life!). Another example is that while missing a meeting with a prospect who could bring a lot of money into the business, he goes to a client's house at the right time to get an invite to a football game (again, not suggesting you camp outside your boss's house). house looking for a raise.) You must make every effort and try every alternative to get what you want.
