About the Author
For many reasons, writing never came easily to A. A. Achibane. Not for lack of desire, her imagination has run wild all her life. Her struggle was due to being dyslexic. She didn't learn to read until she was six years old. And even with the obvious disadvantage, she spent all her school years unclassified and expected to learn and perform like all the other kids. There was no outside encouragement to get her writing career started; she wanted something to read, and nothing struck a chord. And that's how A. A. Achibane began to write.
A. A. Achibane isn't new to the indie publishing scene. She's been publishing her fanfiction under the names Aya Faulkner and Shnuggletea for years now. This has given her experience in writing and producing. It allowed her to develop tough skin and a voice.
Achibane writes in many different genres, but romance themes are always present. Any romance, big or small, in her works will be clean. Anything between the romantic pair, like touching and kissing, occurs after marriage. So, A. A.'s stories have kissing, but there's been some understanding made first. A. A.'s stories are not all Islamic-based and by no means meant to convert.
Historical and fantasy romances are easy, and that sort of lifestyle is a given to them. But Contemporary? It's a challenge that she has accepted. It means there is a lot of tension, and slow builds are a must!

It's been nearly a year since Josaline's cousin disappeared. But since Rene is lesser than dirt as an Alloy, her disappearance goes uninvestigated. That's the law.
In the near future, Josaline's wealthy parents helped create laws discriminating against over half the population. Understandably, she would want to keep her identity a secret from everyone. No one would understand why she's looking for her lost cousin, Rene. Josaline has finally moved away from her parents. Secretly moving in with her 'lesser' family (Alloyed), Josaline is ready to start fresh, where no one (except her family) knows who she is. The only problem is that her cousin, Rene, is still missing, and her cousin, Reglin, lost his patience long ago. When Josaline discovers his plan to infiltrate the only suspects questioned by the police, she forces her help on him. But no one can know who she is; her powerful family would make things worse, not better.
Josaline is far from finding Rene. And now, she's caused Yuuto a world of trouble.
The search for Rene continues, only now, Josaline and Yuuto have to survive whatever job they have to do for Sora. Yuuto continues to try his best to protect Josaline and keep her out of the Mute underground. However, all his attempts only make things harder for him when Josaline refuses to let him do it alone. Josaline got him into this mess, and she's going to get him out of it whether he likes it or not. What Sora is going to make them do will be illegal and dangerous. And even after they complete the job, is Sora actually going to release them? Sora has had his hooks in Yuuto for years already, but how? What more could Sora do to try and destroy everything Yuuto loves? Josaline didn't start this war, but her entrance only made things worse. Finding Rene and saving her from harm just got a lot more complicated.
