With an attitude and personality that gets her in more trouble than anything, she's a wild splash of color in the otherwise monotone and regal life of the academy she attends. But there's more than meets the eye. Park isn't a random nobody in a town only famous for a school. Park Sparrow is the princess of Cimeria, and heir to one of the last remaining monarchies in the entire world. Unluckily for her, being an heir also means having a target painted on her back day and night. Park is determined to find out who's behind the attempts on her life. With the unlikely help of Logan Cross, a boy she's hated since the dawn of time, the two must learn how to put aside their differences and get along because Park is in grave danger. As they work together to put together the mystery of who wants Park's throne, they must face new complications and obstacles that will be much more difficult than just a school yard grudge. (Book One of The Royalty Series) **this is the second edited version of I'll Protect You, written by the same author. it is not canon or official ;; there is a more current version out rn on my page**

[Highest Rank: #38] She's boring. They're spoiled. A playboy, a jerk, and a prodigy enter her life, and she becomes entangled in a new game of something that she has 0 experience with: romance. ~ It's the middle of senior year, and Jennie is more than enthusiastic to finally be done with preparing for college. Her perfect transcript, teacher recommendation, and resume have been sent in the form of applications, and now she's just awaiting a stress-free life for the remainder of her time at Millennium High, her private boarding school. Of course, life doesn't play out the way one expects it to, and it definitely throws a curveball towards Jennie. Her work hard, study hard routine is threatened by the arrival of a trio of rich, successful boys ... and, unlike the rest of the school, she's just not seeing the excitement. All she wanted to do was spend the remainder of the year focusing on graduating as the valedictorian of the school -- which was inevitable in the first place -- but these boys seem to have something sorely against her success. Juggling a newfound social reputation on her shoulders, along with many other problems that she and the newcomers face, Jennie attempts to continue on with her life as a simple, intelligent girl. It just gets annoying when she has to deal with something that she's never experienced before within her boring life -- love. How better to describe romance than with cheesiness and cliches, right? Well, Jennie's never been a fan of those things. NOTE: 'Tis a rather casually-written story so don't expect anything TOO deep here. Of course, you may be surprised. *insert mischievous grin here. Also, if you don't like romantic things ... might want to leave (but who doesn't, honestly?)
