She doesn't go against the rules of society and refuse to even take a shot of Tequila. In other words: Conservative. Boring. She spent almost all her life trying to gain her mother's approval, measuring up to her sister's greatness, and proving herself worthy of her boyfriend's love and attention. She's been lying to everybody, including herself, about who she really was. But no matter what she does, she just can't seem to live up to their expectations. And then she got fed up and decided to let loose. Just one night. She left her conservative fashion style and in high heels and a killer dress, she went to a club by herself and set spirit free. Her night couldn't even be more perfect when Justin Adams, the city's most sought after bachelor fell prey to the charms she didn't even know she possessed. Justin was every girl's dream boat but he was a no strings attached type of guy. So Adrienne thought after that night, she didn't have to deal with him again. Her secret was safe with him. But what she didn't expect was that he wouldn't let her go that easily and her one night of fun can turn into a full-blown secret affair. In the eyes of her friends and family, she has a boyfriend named Troy. But within the walls of her bedroom, she belonged to Justin. But her new-found bliss would be threatened by the secrets that Justin keeps and the past that her parents kept from her. Soon, she will find out that she's been living her life with all the right intentions... but for all the wrong reasons.

Now back on Wattpad! ---- In a land covered in eternal night, a young girl's light is all that stands between Mankind and the Forces of Darkness. When the Sun Goddess vanished under mysterious circumstances a thousand years ago, she left the land of Kuro blanketed in eternal night. Over time, the people learn to harness what remains of the Goddess: the precious and finite resource known as the Goddess Essence. Kurokyuu Orbs, miracles of modern technology, harvest the Goddess Essence and provide light and power to all. But there is a problem: the Goddess Essence is running out. And it couldn't have come at a worse time. Whispers abound of a growing evil in the North; stories of shadows that can only be harmed by the light of the sun. From out of the darkness rises the City of the Sun. Light Spires shine through all twenty-four hours, providing artificial sunlight for all. Everyone that is, but the residents of the Utter Darkness. In this forsaken place, Mina, a young orphan, is forced to beg and steal on the streets to sustain herself in the hardscrabble way of life. In the darkest corners, Marauders lurk, hunting little girls, searching for the one known only as "The Maiden". When Mina falls captive to a roving band of Marauders, she is faced with a life-altering decision: reveal the secret she has been hiding her entire life or stay silent and risk losing her already meager existence? When people die as a result of her inaction, Mina realizes her secret is no longer hers to keep. A secret that lies in a most unusual ability: The power to manifest sunlight...
