After she decides to drops out of college, her parents send her to Long Beach Island, New Jersey to spend the summer with some old family friends. Riley has no desire to spend the summer on a remote beach in New Jersey, but since quitting college, she doesn't have much of a choice. She's destined to spend her summer working in a pizza shop and sweating too much, with absolutely no idea of what her future holds. What Riley doesn't expect is to meet someone who manages to break down every wall she's carefully built.

Ross Montgomery has lived on Long Beach Island, New Jersey his entire life. Ross's family has faced many hardships in the past few years, so he stayed at home to take care of them. Even though he knows he's doing the right thing, sometimes he still longs to travel, explore, and experience the world. That's why he applied for a year-long global service trip. Now he has to decide whether he'll leave his family behind to see the world or stay in the same small town he's lived in all his life. When he sees Riley Olson on the beach on the first day of summer, he doesn't know that she'll change his entire worldview and challenge him to live the life he's only imagined.

But there are only 93 days in summer, 93 days until they both have to decide what their futures hold, together or apart.

The Runaway Sister

standalone ~ mafia siblings series"You can't make me stay here! I will get an emancipation." I yell. Flashbacks of the gun in my hand, the almost-dead boy. I shudder. A sick feeling settles in my heart. "I forbid you from going anywhere else. It's safe here, with us," Alexander answers. He is practically fuming. "Clearly, it's not!" I stand from the leather chair, backing away to the mahogany door. Pure, hot rage bubbles inside of me. Never. I will never become one of them. He begins to rush to me, but I turn on my heel and sprint out, down the hallway, through the house, and to the brick fence surrounding the mansion. I go up to the black metal gate, slip through the rails, and run out onto the forest-surrounded street. ***Evelyn Rhodes was kidnapped at the age of seven by her uncle after seeing her brothers kill a woman.

The Alphas rebellious Mate.

almost a hundred years ago, the beasts in the shadows, known as werewolves, made themselves known, their attack was so unexpected, no one even knew they existed till the night sky was blazing a deep orange with the fires from destruction across the world as they completely ravaged different areas of powers. Humans were no match to counter them so suddenly, countless lives were lost on both sides, mostly on the humans. Humans were more resilient than the beasts expected, meaning the war that began lasted much longer, surprising the murderous creatures that had sought to crush any and all resistance from the humans. Their beasts were determined to make the world run on their instinctual and genetic hierarchy, to them it was the best way to live one with the world, saying it was a given right of life from their precious 'moon goddess'. But despite losing the main war for control, human determination was not so easily squashed out, a resistance was set up in areas that lacked wolf control over the globe.The world was split and changed to suit the bests, pack territories drawn out, all unified under the council of unified supreme alphas, each having control over a different continent, though luckily for humans wolves liked to stick in their communities, which left many islands and smaller land masses open for human control, only visited once every year by patrols, meaning the rebellion had different hidden bases all over. But what happens when the alpha supreme Damien Steele, the scariest of the seven supreme alphas, finds his mate. A human girl, and not just any human girl. Ashley Harper, otherwise known as the rebellions 'ghost' Will the two learn to work out their differences after finding out the moon goddess has linked their souls as mates, both too stubborn to submit easily.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"I know you're here little ghost...I can smell your scent everywhere" "then why don't you try catching me, coward""oh darling...with pleasure~"

" In the heart of darkness , love finds its light"VEERANSHU: "In a world where brutality was my currency and compassion a foreign concept, she came like a tempest, shattering the walls around my heart. She showed me that even in the depths of darkness, a flicker of love could ignite a flame of redemption. Through her eyes, I saw the possibility of a different life, where the scars of my past could be healed by the tenderness of her touch."_________________________________________AMAYA:"I was just a simple girl, unnoticed and unloved in the shadows of life's chaos. Then he came, like a storm in the night, disrupting everything I knew. Despite the danger he carried, I found solace in his embrace, and in his eyes, I discovered a love I never thought possible. He showed me that even the most broken souls are worthy of love, and in loving him, I found the strength to heal my own shattered heart."_________________________________________Author's note:"In the tapestry of fate, their paths intertwined, weaving a story of love born from the most unlikely of circumstances. Their love defied expectations, challenging the norms of their world and proving that even the most hardened hearts can be softened by the gentle touch of affection. In each other's arms, they found refuge from the storms of life, a sanctuary where their love could flourish against all odds." **********

Sprintfilter | Carbon air filter

Carbon air filters release toxic gases (e.g., VOCs, sulfur dioxide, benzene), allergens, stinks, and smells (i.e., from smoking, illustration) present in air by adsorbing them into the texture of the activated carbon's molecules. Carbon air filters are commonly used in air cleaners, range hoods (in conjunction with aluminum screens). They are emanated from charcoal by biological or chemical remedy to improve their porosity and exterior area.Activated carbon air filters are successful at eliminating vaporous toxins, exhaust, fumes, and smells present in the air. The vaporous particles in the air are assimilated and held in the external surface of the carbon iota. Nonetheless, to actually eliminate those atoms, they should be permitted to get comfortable with the enacted carbon grid for a specific measure of time.When utilized as an independent filter, they can't catch strong particulates. Thus, they are commonly utilized related to HEPA and electrostatic air filters to further develop air quality.
