But when a certain someone finds himself facinated with this girl, what will happen? {Book 2 in 'Inspirations' series}

Trinity was an ordinary teenage girl. She wasn't one of the popular girls, but wasn't looked down on, either. She was just sort of there. Boys had never really shown any interest in her, skipping over her like she was just another brick in the wall. But when Trinity starts sending letters to an imaginary 'Mr.Perfect', she gets more than she bargained for. When it turns out that the address she was sending them to is real, she is roped into situations she would never have imagined. Attracting the attention of a rather dark, dangerous boy who seems to know more about her than she does herself, Trinity would soon realise that her idea of 'Mr.Perfect', isn't so perfect after all. But there was no going back.

" wait " Louis yells. " what " I say turning around. " are you not going to going to tell me your name " he says hope etched onto his face. " Nope I think I'll keep it to myself " I say laughing. " please" he begs. " fine the names Jane ... Jane doe"

"Skinny dipping, are we?" I freeze in panic as a voice floats towards me. A male voice. I whip around in panic and sink further into the water. "Mind if I join you?" My breath hitches as he asks the question, already stripping of his clothes. Dropping his shirt next to my pile of clothes, his outline continues. "I...I-I do mind, actually." I finally say, turning away from him, focusing my gaze on the opposite shore. I try to steady my breathing into a constant pattern, rather than the short unnerving gasps I was previously using. "Too late..." the beautiful male voice whispers in my ear, directly behind me. All Elle has ever wanted is to meet One Direction. Specifically Louis Tomlinson. So what happens when Elle meets him? Will she be disappointed with the crazy boy she always idolized? Or will she find herself on a crazy adventure in the name of love?
