Being a fashion model is nearly every girl's dream. But what happens when dreams come true? "AT THAT MOMENT, IT HIT ME. I was a mere mortal in a room full of demigods: actors, actresses, bygone legends of the stage and screen; men and women who had traipsed down red carpets all of their lives, whom the rest of the country, no, the world, had pined for, had paid to know the secrets of. Here I was standing among them, cavorting with twenty-first century royals." Eighteen-year-old shy, suburban aspiring model Catherine Watson longed for adventure, for a life less...ordinary and moves away to pursue her modeling dream in New York City. When she is "discovered" by the hottest fashion designer in the pages of Vogue magazine, "Cat" thinks she has it all as the New York fashion world's new "It" girl. Her life is thrust into an alternate universe, where star-studded cocktail parties, casting calls, go-sees, and nightclub openings revolve around her like constellations and she tries to play the part. Her former self, "Catherine," was now a shadow of who she was, and what she was becoming. Leaving her good-girl image behind, Cat quickly learns things aren't always what they seem on the catwalk, and she's faced with a decision that will change her life forever. Drawing on her own experiences as a model in the fast-paced fashion industry, author Nicole Gabor masterfully weaves a timeless story of self-discovery, coming of age, and the perils of first loves.

***A WATTPAD FEATURED NOVEL Dec 1st, 2015*** EVA TURNER's a single-mom in witness protection hoping to start over and establish lifelong roots on Haven Island. But things get complicated when her small-scale photography business goes viral. MARSHALL DAVIES is a world-weary investigative journalist (suffering PTSD) with his eye on a coveted promotion that will get him out of the field (and line of fire). He's exposed terrorists and slippery politicians; a single-mother should be child's play. While passion blooms, and her past closes in, Eva has to somehow elude the spotlight (and charismatic Marshall) or risk losing not only her new life/identity, but custody of her girls. OUT OF FOCUS was a Top 10 finalist in Harlequin's So You Think You Can Write contest for 2015 . In January 2016, RT Book Reviews deemed OOF as one of the Top 3 books on Wattpad and an excerpt was also recently featured in Cosmopolitan's online magazine.(February 2016). *** Dedicated to anyone who is or has walked in Eva's shoes. I hope you've found your Haven. (And Marshall!!) :) All rights belong to the author and no reproductions are allowed without express permission from @FallonDeMornay.
