and criminals to fill the ranks. Classed as expendable, the small
carriers will be given the most dangerous missions to slow a remorseless
alien foe ...... And the pardons their crews have been offered will be meaningless if they die. Views: 17

“Your parents are going to kill you!” My best friend, Lana, shook her head as she watched my pack my duffel bag.“I should have ran away when I turned eighteen. I’ve wasted two years in Charlotte and where has that got me? I’m failing out of school and I can’t even get a spot as an extra in a movie, much less the starring role.” I tossed several pairs of panties on top of the socks and t-shirts already in my bag.“You can’t get frustrated because you got turned down for one role.” She sat down on the bed and folded her legs. “This is crazy.”“I’m twenty years old—I deserve more than North Carolina—I deserve California.” I went back to my dresser and grabbed a few more necessities.“Do you realize how many pretty girls are in California chasing that dream? You won’t end up on a magazine cover or a movie poster just because you show up. At least finish college. You could do better if you applied yourself.” She tried to be the voice of reason, even if I wasn’t really interested in hearing it. Views: 17

Lennon and Darcy are back for the happiest day of their lives!
Lennon
Straight out of teacher training, I fell hard for my beguiling student ten short months ago. Ok, I was her teacher, but I don't care it was me that broke the rules.
She's a feisty one, and call me crazy, but I know she's all I want, and I have to make her mine.
So, it's back to the beach where it all began for us with the biggest question I've ever had to ask.
Thank God she said yes, and now, a trip of a lifetime to Hawaii sounds perfect. A tropical paradise where we can get closer than ever.
But just when I think I have it all under control, seems everything I'd planned turns to cr*p, and conspires against the happiness we both crave. And if that wasn't bad enough, a thousand-to-one chance meeting with someone from the past threatens everything.
My life with her... my career... and maybe even my liberty.
Darcy
Ok, so I'm only nineteen, but I know my own mind. And I know I want him. He has a s*x drive that would make a Ferrari blush — matching my own perfectly. But I know what love is. This is no crush, and when Lennon takes me back to our special place to ask me to be his wife, I'm the happiest girl in the world.
What could possibly go wrong? Turns out, a LOT.
I thought I was smart, but when a joke I played on him backfires on me, I'm left wondering if I went too far, and he's having second thoughts about being with me.
With everything working against us, our plans are in shreds. Seems our island dream is over before it's even started, but I won't give up without a fight.
Come hell or high water, I'm determined to keep him in my bed, and in my heart... forever.
