We didn't meet, we collided, From the speed I was driving, Brakes won't work this is happening now, Speed of light in slow motion, My engine roared, Forced me to your side, Foot stuck to he floor, Brace yourself for the impact,

Charles Hansen, originally a German independent nature and stills photographer, traveling around the world, got hired by OneRepublic for catching them on camera on their Native tour. Unfortunately, there was a mistake. Charlie's supposed to join the band on their European leg of their tour - but they expected Charles to be a man. Their bandleader Ryan Tedder was not amused when he learned Charles was only a nickname. [No explicit description yet, dunno where this's going - except: This is gonna be a fan-fiction about Ryan Tedder (& OneRepublic) one day. Hopefully. I'll try to write this in English though it's only my second language. Corrections are always welcome, whether if it's about my grammar, expressions or the storyline itself. I need to practise more in order to make myself clear to people whose #Native (sic!) language is English. And... after all... I'm doing this because writing's replacing therapies. Helps to get ANY thing off your chest, doesn't matter if it's a diary, songwriting or trying to write a story, as weird or wicked it might get. I'm doing this mainly (or only?) for my own benefit. Okay... hope, I'll be getting this right... Since I'm questioning myself all the time there might happen little changes in all chapters after I've reviewed them, sorry for that! Let's start... and please bear in mind: This is only fictional. Mostly. ;-)] Update: 29 is online - I hope, in the morning I'll be better.

Book One: Ramona Wood seeks love as a refuge from her horrid, haunting past. In fact, Ramona is so desperate to feel something other than pain, to feel true love, that she can't even tell the mere difference between what's right and wrong for her. That is, until Ryan Tedder, her one and only idol, comes along. As he becomes her new, supportive friend, she sees in him someone she never thought could exist. He shows her that there's more to life than Shawn Murphy, the cold-hearted, abusive man she's engaged to. Ramona, however, is only aching for someone to hold at night, and therefore remains blind to Shawn's true identity, despite the others' attempts to open her eyes to it. After all, a true love stands before her, so clear, so caring...for it could only be Ryan himself, standing with open arms! Is Ramona able to discover what's truly good for her? Can she ever possibly let go of what's killing her and fall into the arms of a man who really matters? © 2016 by Verona Rohellec. First installment of the Blooming Passion trilogy. Complete.
