Seeds of Love: A tale of second chances, love, friendship and a world worth changing…
Alex Ford's plan to save the world doesn't include falling for the guy who could destroy everything she's worked for.
With a coveted spot in the prestigious Global Sustainable Resources Institute (GSRI) summer internship within reach, Alex is ready to prove that unwavering idealism can change the planet. Nothing will stand in her way—not even Freddie Donovan, her infuriatingly handsome ex-best friend.
Freddie's focus is on keeping his family afloat, even if it means compromising his environmental ethics for a high-paying job. He doesn't have time for any distractions, especially not the fiery eco-warrior who challenges everything he thinks he knows.
They're oil and water, fire and ice.
But when they’re paired together in a make-or-break college project, Alex and Freddie are forced to confront their conflicting views—and their undeniable chemistry. As they navigate treacherous terrain, both literally and emotionally, they discover that the line between right and wrong isn't as clear as they once thought.
Witty, raw, and unapologetically passionate, "Seeds of Love" dares to ask: What would you sacrifice for love? Your principles? Your dreams? Or the chance to save the world?

The Embrace of steel and sorrow
Before there was Griffin Silas, there was Chrome Freyr…
Two elite teen Kinetic Warriors must protect the princess at all costs, but they never anticipated that they would both fall in the process.
Chrome Freyr, the greatest Kinetic Warrior in living memory, is only sixteen years old. The only mission on his mind is to protect her—the princess. For reasons he can’t explain, he feels an intense compulsion to save and nurture her, having been drawn to her energy since that fateful day on the playground when he was ten years old. However, King Forest does everything in his power to keep the two apart.
When asked to protect the princess in Chrome’s stead, Slate Helair, a fellow elite warrior, doesn’t hesitate. The plan to remove the king from power depends on the princess’s well-being and strength, so he’ll play his role in fostering her confidence and abilities. However, he doesn’t expect to be drawn in by her simmering fire, which he is unable to resist during her training sessions.
The insurgency is in its infancy stages to permanently remove the king from power in order to spare the world from unfathomable chaos. The members must walk a delicate line to keep their secrets hidden and those closest to them shielded from the king’s wrath. One slip-up could cost them everything they hold dear to their hearts.
