For 17 year old Benna Denman, it's hard enough being the president's daughter. And when she develops a telepathic Link, life gets even worse. Her father isn't impressed with this new evolutionary ability.

That's just the way he likes it. So when the government starts offering cash in exchange for these telepaths, and Benna is under suspicion by both her boyfriend and her powerful father, she knows she's in trouble.

"So here are the rules. Rule #1: Nobody knows. Not our friends, classmates, family, no one. Rule #2: No feelings. No jealousy, no fights, no love." Levi Chase doesn't get into relationships. Even when he does, they don't last long. He's the impulsive troublemaker in his small town and along with that title comes expectations. He is expected to be the daring one, the badass who just doesn't care. He's also expected to go through girls like a deck of cards. These expectations are usually easy for him until Olivia Daley gets put in the mix. Olivia has expectations of her own to fulfill. Good grades are just one of the many. She's also expected to always be the #1 athlete and keep her reputation squeaky clean. On top of school and sports, she also has her few good friends and social life - or lack thereof - to balance. These goals set for her are just as easy to fulfill as Levi's are for him. Until suddenly, they're not. When their world's collide in what starts out as a "no strings attached" relationship kept on the DL, the rules that were set for the pair get hazy. The lines of the strings start to blur and passion and lust turn into much more. Because, let's be real, are strings ever really unattached? △ Cover by the amazing @ilovepizaaaa ▲

When I was a little girl, I believed in fairy tales. I believed in princes and princesses and knights in shining armor. I believed in forever and happily ever afters. I was ten when reality hit me. My mom brought the evil home with her and there was no escaping it. That's when I learned that fairy tales were just that: fairy tales. The bad stuff is real, though. The difference is that I now know that the monsters and evil villains don't always wear capes and ugly scars. No: most of the time, they appear normal. I'm drowning in reality, in my life, and I've given up hope that a knight in shining armor will rescue me. But maybe... maybe I don't need a Prince Charming after all. Maybe a knight without the shining armor and a broken smile will be enough to save me. *Please note this is only a five chapter sample of the published book.
