When Lizzie Cooper leaves her cheating husband behind and moves to London, she decides to reinvent herself to bury the horrors of her troubled past. However, Lizzie is forced to reconsider her self-made isolation when she meets and falls in love with movie star, Daniel Weston.
Reluctantly, Lizzie must try to find a way to open up to Daniel when her past finally catches up with her. Daniel also has demons of his own to fight and their secrets and insecurities threaten to tear them apart. Add Daniel's passionate fans and the media hot always on their heels; are they strong enough to stand together in the light or it is easier to be alone in the darkness?

"You look breathtaking Lizzie." He comments quietly, and then steps forward to kiss my cheek.
"Thank you, so do you." I smile back at him. The great movie star, Daniel Weston, looks nervous and flustered as though he doesn't know what to do with himself. He is wearing a dark blue suit, waistcoat, white shirt, and no tie. He looks painfully handsome. His hands are placed firmly in his pockets like he is anxious. I notice that his hair has been completely tamed into submission, and that he has shaved. Although he looks stunning, I must confess that I do prefer him looking casual, especially the way his hair falls when he has been running his hands through it.
Daniel checks his watch. "We must go Lizzie." He reaches out his hand, which I take without hesitation. The electricity seems to intensify with his touch and my temperature immediately ignites. I pick up my key and bag from the table and follow him onto the street. It is a beautiful evening and a couple of people stop to look at us while we walk to Daniel's car. I feel on top of the world to be with Daniel again. I realise that now I'm in his company and able to breathe in his scent, that I have truly missed him today. I refuse to analyse myself or this strange feeling in my chest, so I push it to the back of my mind.

He opens the door for me and I slip into his Jaguar. While Daniel heads round to the driver's side, I see the woman approach him. I smile to myself while they chat before she takes out her phone and they pose for a selfie. My heart bursts with affection watching Daniel take the time to make this woman feel special. It's clear from her reaction that this simple gesture has probably made her year.
"Sorry about that." He smiles reassuringly at me.

Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed the World
The world’s largest VRMMO, Conviction, was almost like a second world for humanity. It had integrated itself into the real world’s economy, with both corporations and individuals seeking their fortunes through the game. In this game, Nie Yan prided himself in his Level 180 Thief. He could barely be considered among the top experts in the game. Though, that was the only thing he could take pride in. He was penniless and unable to advance in life; a situation he was forced into by the enemy of his father. If it weren’t for the little money he made by selling off items in Conviction, he would’ve barely been able to eat. In the end, he chose to settle his matters once and for all. He assassinated his father’s enemy. He lay dying shortly after being shot in the pursuit. However, that wasn’t the end of his story. Instead, he awoke moments later to find that he had reincarnated into his past-self. Armed with his experience and knowledge of future events, he sets out to live his life anew.

the hero, the villain,and the profiteer
...*ahem*.... I have been on the site for a while and I have wanted to make my own piece of literature for this site so I'm going to do it here is what I will be making as my first one. Honestly the thought just popped into my head yesterday I rather enjoy several different kinds of stories on the site, so I found a way to do a little bit of each. I myself am a high-functioning autistic but that's only shows in my writing for the most part they look will be the occasional grammar mistake and missing apostrophes and periods I'm also using a speech to text feature on my computer that will occasionally slip up. Now for the synopsis of the story: your standard reincarnation seventh hero type deal but there is a little..... Slip up: parts of the person fractals creating several people;; A great-hearted hero, a savvy traveling merchant, and a sadist curious dungeon Lord. Critiques and people reading this is appreciated, I mostly just doing this for fun. And because this is somewhat important for some reason the cover art is not made by me I just got it from search engine. It also may change over time. im mostly following the dl becouse...i don't know.
