"Here," he said, kicking the ground with his foot, "at this very spot, the French people took what was rightfully theirs. They tore down the symbol of the King's power.

Rewriting chapters, excuse all uncaught mistakes. ___________________________ I wish he told me how lonely he was in the inside. How cold and harsh it was in his pure, white heart. Everywhere he goes there is conflict and unkindness trying to be solved. I believe he has seen hell and it's white, it's a pure snow-white hell. He had a haunting past that none of the people dare to speak about when I ask and every human breathing seemed to fear him. Somehow I didn't fear the strong, pessimistic crystal eyes evoking a blazing fire and the sculpted face of a Roman-God. I didn't flinch when he neared my body with only anger radiating off of him. I didn't shiver in horror when he would roar at me bloody murder, okay sometimes I did but he was scary. This chaos of a life all started when the traditions of the two families, the James and the Parkers had to be passed on by two individuals tied in a rope. I was an Athenian Heiress that wanted to experience love from beginning and he was someone who never wanted to be in love. An arranged marriage was decided upon us because of the common ways of life we shared and to believe fate and destiny were true. Then our past connected in a way, and after that nothing was the same. The blanket of lies uncovers and reveals secrets hidden so far deep. Then this force would always draw his image in my head but I knew he couldn't be the one because pure hatred was always visible in his mysterious eyes towards me. I soon as well started to hate him with every fiber living back, but I was a female who had these things men seemed to lack called hormones. But knew his secret though, his cold-betrayed self shielded all people from getting close to him because he was hurt and denounced before.

Seventeen year-old Eliza Taylor's latest run-in with New York City Police lands her on a bus with a one way ticket to the small town of Blackwater. Unimpressed with being an indentured servant for her cranky and ridiculously ancient aunt, Eliza soon finds hope when she meets Dante, another of her aunt's employees, as well as Chase, the cute boy-next-door who works at his dad's hardware store. Unfortunately, Eliza's panache for getting into trouble rears its ugly head when she discovers her aunt's shop sells more than just postcards from 1988. Her aunt's "private showroom" houses each of the seven deadly sins: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Avarice, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth. But stopping her evil aunt from damning the souls of unsuspecting teens has a price - and that price might very well be Eliza's eternal soul. Can Eliza survive her evil aunt, outwit the dark master she serves, and keep a few souls out of Hell, including her own? She's not so sure, but seeing as how she likes her soul in the upright and firmly out-of-hell position, she's gonna give it her best shot.
