Hazel in the Demon's Den

“I’ll marry anyone who will take me!” Hazel declared loudly. “I don’t need love!” “Get down!” Will hissed. “You don’t know what kind of people are lurking around in here! Talking like that might get you killed!” == Hazel Dixon thought she was putting her troubled past behind her. But when the person she thought she trusted most betrays her, she loses her head and proposes to an entire bar full of strangers. Enter Will Sheffield, a charming stranger who decides to take her up on her offer to save her from herself. He spoils her rotten without expecting anything in return and Hazel's confusion only grows. She doesn't know why he is acting this way. Or why he reminds her so much of the 'dangerous' childhood friend she thought was gone forever... *Cover art by polkadottedscrunchie*

A Real Angel!

Things only got worse as spring turned to summer. Charlie brought food home so infrequently that Billy was starving to death without the benefit of school lunches giving him one meal a day. He started swiping the cash Charlie squirreled away around the trailer to go get himself hamburgers and French fries every now and then.

When that failed, he hung around the park and picked up spare dollar bills or coins people lost. Sometimes kids dropped their food on the grass and left it there too. It was disgusting but any food was better than no food.

Billy began to resent Charlie. If he had to be gone all day, couldn't he at least bother to bring back some food? Billy had barely turned seven; it wasn't like he could take care of these things himself!
