Codi James is a chronic underachiever. A straight C student, her life is going nowhere. Causing havoc at yet another school it looks like she's heading for another expulsion, until one teacher decides to call in a favour from an old friend. Codi is sent to the one place where her aggression might do her some good.

Joining the underdeveloped Brax-Delta training academy, Codi is set on the long, bruising path to compete as a champion in the Gauntlet Tournament. Thrown together with a team of other misfits and under the tutorage of a frustrated veteran, she has one chance left to prove that she's more than just a struggling orphan.

Never underestimate a desperate person.

[Completed] [Young/New Adult Action/Adventure] - - - What would you do if you were forced to participate in The Race, a competition where death is a possibility? If you refuse, you'll die. You have no choice but to try your best. You meet your team, you receive your special job, and you train for two weeks. Then, all too soon, The Race begins... Will your team take home seven million dollars? Or will you die trying? - - - "Two elite teams of eighteen year olds are being formed from people around the world. Each team is made of members with different skills and different backgrounds, all extraordinarily talented. They will each be given a different set of clues that lead to one end goal: seven million dollars. The players will be hurt, tested physically and mentally, possibly even killed. This is The Race." - - - Excerpt: "Now then, I don't expect us to play a get to know you game but, I mean, if we are going to be relying on each other throughout this thing, we need to at least be friendly. How about everyone says their name, occupation, and where they're from?" There was a pause for a moment as everyone stared at this pink-haired girl with an English accent. "Alright, fine. I'll start. My name is Maybelle, I am a chef and as you should be able to tell by my accent, I am from London." "I am Aralee, I am a singer and I am from Italy! I'm so excited to meet and become friends with all of you." "I guess I'll go next," the model-like girl spoke. "My name is Naomi, I am from Egypt and I am a model." Guessed it. "I am Cami, from Canada. I'm a barista," spoke the red-haired and green-eyed girl. "Lark, Russia, musician," said the blonde. "Asia, Hong Kong, and I am a certified genius." "Oh, uh, my name is Harper. I am from the U.S. and I am a dancer."

[HIGHEST RANKING #1 IN FALLINGINLOVE] It wasn't ever supposed to happen like it did. It wasn't supposed to happen at all... Katarina Rhodes was just an average girl tagging along with her best friend on a much needed trip to Los Angeles, California. She grumbled at the idea of going out to a boisterous arena filled with yelling people, but her best friend since age ten convinced her to come and watch an MMA fight. MMA fights weren't all her thing, until she fell in love with one of the fighters. Knox Taylor. Then commences a fierce battle between the head and the heart. Which one will win? EPIGRAPH: I make my way over to the vending machine and dig a couple dollars out for a Milky Way bar. I feed it in and watch the thing do its magic, but the damn bar doesn't quite fall from the slot. "Dumb machine!" I mutter. All of a sudden, a huge fist slams into the machine. The bar falls from the slot with a plunk, but I'm fucking scared shitless. I jump at the loud noise and my heart just about leaps out of my chest. I turn to who the fist belongs to and struggle to stop my jaw from hitting the floor. It's him. Knox fricken Taylor.
