What you don't need to know but are going to find out anyway...
I'm now a 30 year old wife and mother... I started this when I was 16, on fanfiction, made the switch to fictionpress when I was 18. I haven't been on here in many, many years... I had writers block. But I'm back! Given I have a very active 14 month old baby girl, and I work part time, I have limited time to write but I am in the stages of plotting the course of a new story... title still in the making.
I'm a wife and mother, as I said, and I also work part time at a high school, assisting students with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities to be included in mainstream classrooms.

MY OPUS:
"Protect Me From What I Want"
« EXTENDED SUMMARY »
So living with an incredibly rich, incredibly hot guy is the ULTIMATE dream, right? Wrong - especially if all that every one sees is a lie, and in actual truth your relationship with him is a fraud to throw unsuspecting grandparents and clinging would-be girlfriends off the trail. And added to this, you're hiding the biggest secret of all - your brother is dying of an incurable disease. So when everything gets thrown into the mix, half-baked as it is, you get the life of Silence O’Faoláin. "Oh god, protect me from what I want!" - FIN

If so, then why do they still share that special connection, that chemistry that finds them in more than one, erm… shall we say, compromising positions?

« EXTENDED SUMMARY »
28 year old Abbi Scott has had a very bad day. Her landlord needs her apartment back, her work has just closed their doors for good, and her relationship is going nowhere with her boyfriend. Then she receives some unexpected news - her estranged father, who she's never met, has passed away and has left her
his belongings. Her presence is requested to go over his estate and reconcile it, in a small town in central Texas. With nothing else to do, why the hell not?
Nick Hale is the sheriff in Marble Falls, and from the day that Peter Scott dies its been nothing but trouble - break ins, vandals, and pressure from the neighbour to
speed up the deceased estate auction due at the end of the month - after all, Peter Scott doesn't have any living relatives. Then Abbi Scott arrives in town and turns
everything upside down. Its in Nick's best interest to help Abbi find the damn will so that everyone stops hassling him, and then she can sell the land and get out of
town... right?
