MY OPUS:

Protegez-Moi de ce que je Veux

"Protect Me From What I Want"

«~¤ EXTENDED SUMMARY ¤~»

So living with an incredibly rich, incredibly hot guy is the ULTIMATE dream, right? Wrong - especially if all that every one sees is a lie, and in actual truth your relationship with him is a fraud to throw unsuspecting grandparents and clinging would-be girlfriends off the trail. And added to this, you're hiding the biggest secret of all - your brother is dying of an incurable disease. So when everything gets thrown into the mix, half-baked as it is, you get the life of Silence O’Faoláin. "Oh god, protect me from what I want!" - FIN

Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup

"Darling, I Like You Very Much"

sequel to "protegez-moi de ce que je veux"

«~¤ EXTENDED SUMMARY ¤~»

After the shocking revelations and catastrophic disasters of her senior year at Hilton Academy, which ended in her younger half-brother’s death and her subsequent break-up with Gabriel, Silence is determined to move on. Moving to a small town just outside of Paris, France, with best friend Mary-Alice seems to be the best thing to do for the summer break at least. Will a new country, new faces and a new guy be enough to make Silence forget Gabriel? - FIN

Once More With Feeling

sequel to "Protegez-Moi de ce Que Je Veux" and "Darling, je Vous Aime Beaucoup"

«~¤ EXTENDED SUMMARY ¤~»

Having recovered somewhat from the trials and tribulations of her disasterous relationships, we rejoin Silence (who is now calling herself 'Rory', a bearable nicname derived from her first name, Aurora) for the final installment of her saga, entitled 'Once More With Feeling'... Has the sun set on Gabriel and Rory's chance for reconciliation? Are Gabriel and Rory as truly happy as they insist? If so, then why do they still share that special connection, that chemistry that finds them in more than one, erm… shall we say, compromising positions? Can they truly move on and forget about each other, or will they give each other one more chance, this time with more feeling?
