"Come in Adele" She entered and sat down in one of the plush seats fit for royalty. Her mom sat on the edge of the desk with some papers in her hands. She sat the papers on Adele's lap. With a curious voice she spoke up, "What is this?" "Adele, this is your grandfathers will" Her dad announced motioning to the stack. She flipped through the pages trying to find the answer of what her parents were getting at. "Turn to page fourteen" She did as she was instructed and began scanning the writing. "Section fourteen" she read aloud, "Grandchildren, Adele and Taylor Nelson. Granddaughter and grandson of Dave Nelson. Adele, if she is married by the age of twenty one, will inherit the throne of her parents when the time is sufficient" she stopped reading to look up at her parents. "He wants you married before you take over the throne" her mom said with excitement in her face. "Married! This can't be right!" "I'm afraid it is, if you choose not to wed the throne will be given to your brother"

One thing I'll always remember is my parents saying "Everyone has a story" "Everyone has a story with a past, tragic or not. Everyone has a story that is meant to go unjudged, even if it was never told" But sometimes we forget that. Like when I though that my guardian was the devil. Even though he taught me how to laugh, how to protect, and even possible how to love. I only asked one thing "Why?" I still remember the one phrase that changed my life"Let me carry her" This one single and normal phrase was said by none other than Cooper Kingsley, our school's and town's bad boy. He was the championship boxer who drove a motorcycle and got into trouble frequently. He's the guy with brown hair that looked soft enough to run my fingers through, the guy with irresistible cold blue eyes and the guy with a built and strong body that made girls crazy. He wasn't your typical player either; no he was just hard to get- A complete tease. And the fact that he would volunteer to help a girl like this, was not normal. So what did Cooper Kingsley want anything to do with the bland and boring me? I was completely and utterly average. Or so I thought. So why did the devil suddenly become my guardian? Let's find out.

To save the park, Cash must find a place for the survivors to hide from the migrating herds. If Cash and her small band of volunteers don't succeed by winter, the Fox survivors just may become Deadland's Harvest.

When I was a little girl, I believed in fairy tales. I believed in princes and princesses and knights in shining armor. I believed in forever and happily ever afters. I was ten when reality hit me. My mom brought the evil home with her and there was no escaping it. That's when I learned that fairy tales were just that: fairy tales. The bad stuff is real, though. The difference is that I now know that the monsters and evil villains don't always wear capes and ugly scars. No: most of the time, they appear normal. I'm drowning in reality, in my life, and I've given up hope that a knight in shining armor will rescue me. But maybe... maybe I don't need a Prince Charming after all. Maybe a knight without the shining armor and a broken smile will be enough to save me. *Please note this is only a five chapter sample of the published book.
