"I need to go," I mumbled. Before I could take another breath, he had me pinned against the wall. "You aren't going to move another inch," his voice grew husky, and I watched his crystal blue eyes begin to cloud. "Your majesty," I began. I felt the knots in my stomach tangle further at his close proximity. "Let me make one thing very clear, love, I am the king here, and I and I alone am in charge. You are going to be a queen, and a queen cannot rule without her king." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Cyan grew up a human girl in a land now ruled by the were-people. She grew up safe, protected, but determined to stay far away from the people who kept her safe. But when the Royal Court holds a ball in honor of the new King's coronation, guess who got dragged along? Damien grew up a powerful man in an equally powerful world. As the newly crowned Alpha King, he made it his job to find his queen. The only thing stronger than fear is love, but fear is a captivating devil. __________________

If you're judging this book by its cover and title, you're already proving the point this story wants to make. Try to move past this satirical obstacle in front of you. This is a story about bullying, and like the hundreds of other books on the topic, it will show you the harsh reality of being discriminated, belittled, ridiculed for something you cannot control- how you look, who you love, or what you believe in. But unlike these books, this story's sole purpose is not to tear your heart out of your chest as you mourn over your loss of faith in humanity. Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will also be moments of happiness, laughter, and love. - Naomi Lorraine, better known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her school. Even with the help of her sarcastic comebacks, that doesn't stop her from getting bullied by everyone in Dartwell High. Every day her childhood bully, Raymond Meyers, knocks her off her feet, literally. However, she can't do anything but survive the laughs, insults, and bruises high school gives her. There are three senior transfer students, dubbed the Three Musketeers: Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch. All in one day, Naomi catches their attention one by one. With her snarky attitude, but innocent look, they can't help but want her. But not the way you're thinking. Oh no, not like that. Instead, it's probably the whole opposite. It's quite simple really. She'll be their good girl. And they'll be her bad boys. ~ [This story is a first draft written by a 13 to 15-year-old girl so it has its fair share of grammar mistakes and plot holes.] Wattys 2015 Talk of the Town Award Second Place Story of 2015 Best Humor and Overall Points of The Fiction Awards 2016 Third in the Writers Awards 2016 Highest Ranks: #1 Humor, #1 Teen Fiction

*** Just a few intro chapters - full book available on Amazon, or you can read the original version for free on Wattpad *** Pay your stake. Roll the dice. Do the dare. Getting divorced at twenty-five sucks. Teaching over-confident rich kids when you ought to be designing handbags for Mulberry sucks. In fact, every single aspect of Daisy Fitzgerald's life is one big fail. But when Xander, a veritable Knight-in-Shining-Cricket-Pads, knocks her off her wedge heels, Daisy topples into his world of It-girls, players and Michelin stars. At a party, buoyed up on champagne and escapism, Daisy agrees to play Forfeit, the ultimate game of dares. Round One was a fun way to pass an hour, Round Two wasn't for the faint-hearted, but no one wants to stake £5,000 to play Round Three, not until they're persuaded by a vitriolic social media campaign that's about to go viral. £25,000 is up for grabs, but the game's called Forfeit for good reason. Blackmail, betrayal, revenge... move over Gatsby, there's a new bunch of bored young things in town. *** Caution. Forfeit's rated at PG-13, but it does contain strong language and scenes of a sexual nature. Just sayin'. Cx *** Being open and honest, I'll only be posting the first 30% or so of #Forfeit here. If you like it and want to read the rest, it's available on Kindle. It won't break the bank - 77p, 99c are the launch prices and the Kindle App is free! Keep posted for chances to win signed copies and Kindle freebies. If you feel cheated that you can't read it all for free, the first/ original draft of Forfeit is still on here. It's posted as a book in its own right, but it's also at the end of the new #Forfeit chapters in this version. Thanks for reading. Cx
