He looked back up at the nothingness, towards the thing that was so terrifying, it would make you scream. ---------------------------------------- On the evening of January 1st, 1987, police discovered the most puzzling and disturbing crime in Hope's Bluff history.

Can an insecure beauty tame a self-sabotaging beast? *4 Sample Chapters * ☆Winner of a 2017 Watty Award in The Originals category. Julia Swift is terribly sexy. Unfortunately, there's nothing she can do about it. While attempting to hide in plain sight from a world she fears only wants to use her, she is claimed as a personal stylist by vivacious socialite, Vérité Claire, a glamorous eccentric with a penchant for guiding talented oddballs along paths to meet their potential. Her curious crew includes sassy housekeeper, Lotte, insanely jealous biographer, Bernard, and eventually Orson Vaughn, a hulking outcast living in self-imposed exile since being betrayed by those closest to him in his shameful past. In spite of Julia's trust issues and Orson's tendency toward self-sabotage, the two grow closer through a series of exchanged favours until two people who are trying very hard to be invisible are seeing an awful lot of each other. Will a final favour which sees Julia helping Orson in a revenge plot against former adversaries put too great a strain on their unlikely relationship and prevent it from blossoming into more? If Vérité Claire has anything to do with it then the answer is 'Not a chance, darlings!'. So powder your noses, because the 2017 Watty winning The Favoured, The Fair and Ms. Vérité Claire is a lighthearted Beauty and the Beast-like romantic farce with a pie-throwing, rodeo-riding, chocolate covered, diamond studded, French-tipped twist!

The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated English barrister who endeavors to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife.
