Assigned by Tomi Farrell
Life begins. Then it ends. Then it begins again… For each life, fate is predetermined; nothing can change its path.
From the moment she was born he has been in her life, watching her; he has known everything about her. He has studied her every expression, feeling, thought⊠Because she felt, like any other person: she felt joy, happiness, passion, anger, sorrowâŠ
And, he didnât.
Why does she laugh? Why does she cry? Why does she feelâŠ? Despite his exhaustive knowledge about her, he couldnât answer these questions. They speculated that the best way to study emotions and feelings was to examine and analyze the one thing they didnât have. For this, he was assigned to her.

Here is a short sample from the book:
1
It was an exceptionally clear night.
The deep sky towered above me, reminding me that my existence was merely a tiny particleâif anything at allâof the infinity which spread above me.
My eyes were fastened on the Andromeda Galaxy, which shone, as clearly visible as it could ever be, to my naked eyes. An immense halo glistened, enhancing the infinite beauty of a trillion stars.
I shifted my gaze toward the west. A clear night it sure was.
I gasped in awe, as my eyes caught sight of the beautiful, blurred light of the pinwheel: the Triangulum Galaxy. The galaxy was strongly affected by light pollution and, with or without binoculars or a telescope, it was always a challenge to see it. Yet, that night, without any form of aid, I was standing there, directly looking at it, my eyes witnessing the spectacular. I exhaled deeply, completely intoxicated by its majestic charm.
I leaned into my telescope-attached DSLR camera (well, my fatherâs, originally), and peeked through the lens, which I had set to manual focus, turning on âLive Viewâ. Zooming in, to the shimmering light of the pinwheel, I rotated the cameraâs focus ring, until each star appeared sharp. I used high ISO-sensitivity levels and set my aperture; shutter speed: twenty-five seconds. The sound of the shutter echoed in the quiet, like a loud musical instrument.
I had no doubt that I could take the most dazzling photographs of the galaxy tonight, if I could see it with an unaided eye, and my expectation appeared to be met with no disappointment. The image which showcased in my viewfinder fascinated me beyond what any words could describe; I could even see the galaxyâs globular clusters, dust-lanes and the spiral structure itself.
There really shouldnât be any logical explanationâif not for the thing called âtechnologyââof how something three-million light-years away could be right before your eyes, so vividly and scintillatingly. It was simply magical.
âYou should have seen this, Daddy.â I murmured, as I finally pried my eyes away from the pinwheel, rising from the camera. âYour galaxy looks beyond amazing tonight.â
The Triangulum Galaxy wasnât literally my fatherâs, of course, but it was his favorite; mine was the Andromeda Galaxy. Weâd claimed them as our own, just for fun.
My father and I used to visit this spot together a lot: the top of the mountain, from where we could get an unobstructed view of the night sky. This was our spot. This was our thing. We would stand here for hours, watching the stars and taking photographs of them. We used to talk a lot, about what might be out there; we wondered if there were worlds like ours, and life like ours on other planets⊠well, I did. When I asked him about it, he would always tell me to find out myself when I grew upâto become an astrophysicist. This became my dream, ever since I was a little girlâa pact I made with him.
I gazed at the silent night sky, as if waiting for it to say something back to me. The sparkling sky, with its zillions of stars, remained silent.
âI miss youâŠâ The stars became blurred, as I felt warmth on my cheeks.

My Gift To You by Faye Hall
Rush Mullens saw her parents, Joseph and Carmen, being murdered before her eyes as an 8 year old childâ ten cloaked figures destroying her once peaceful life. She did not know the men responsible, but she would find them. She wanted revengeâŠshe needed it.
When Lord Justin Maston came to take her in to his care, she vowed she would use this opportunity to find the murdererâs she chased. She did not think she would also find a boy she could love more than her own life.
Bailey Maston had never supposed to mean any more to her than a friend, one who could protect her from the new lifestyle she had been forced into. What he had become though was a young man who could take her breath away, and steal her heart.
Rush knew Bailey knew nothing of her family, or the life she was raised to live. She doubted should he learn the truth that he would understand. She could not let him endanger the revenge she so craved to seek. Nor could she ignore that she was willing to risk all â her past, her life, her reputation – just to sample an ounce of passion from this man.
Bailey Maston wanted to find a woman â the perfect woman â to give his heart to. He wanted to trust that such a person could exist that would never betray him.

When Bailey finally discovers the truth of Rushâs life, and the revenge she was enacting, he feels betrayed. Foolish though it was, he hopes that beyond this betrayal may yet lay the woman he has always yearned to findâŠa woman he craved to give his well-guarded heart to.
