They say you can learn a lot from a book, but no book has taught me how to be a regular teenager. No book has taught me how to comfortably balance a social life and school, not to mention work. And no book has ever taught me how to successfully reel in a boy and keep him. But people...people can teach you things in ways books cannot. So when Diego Ruiz has to live in my house for a month because he's not trusted enough to stay alone at his own, I learn quite a lot from him, more than any book I've ever gotten my hands on. cover by wattpad user @authenticbot- warning: some swearing (kept to a minimum)

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

What do you think princesses in the 1600s did all day? • Wear puffy dresses shaped like a pastry? • Obsess over hair and makeup? • Attend balls and dance the night away? • Meet their Prince charming? • Say ridiculous statements to create controversies? (Idea courtesy: "Let them eat CAKE!") • Go for tea parties and gossip with the other ladies at court? • Enjoy lavish cuisines? You're not wrong. But that's not what 'all' princesses do. Just 'most' of them. Meet Lilith. An exception to the above assumptions. She's fierce. She's witty. She's bold. The princess of Valoria. She felt as if the stars shone only for her, the Sun rose only for her, the flowers bloomed only for her and every day was meant just for her. But one day, she overheard a plan. She had to stop it from happening. Of course, nothing was impossible for Lilith. But with the limited time and hurdles along the way, will she change her fate in time? Or will her destiny overpower her will? What readers say: "A fox in the snow is an exquisitely written adventure novel. The characters and plots are so finely developed that it transports you to the 1600s where sorcery and witchcraft were frowned upon. I personally found Lilith to be a character to look up to. Dylan and Lilith's immaculate romance is the icing on the cake. The language used by the author is fun. The plot hooks us to the story. The author has done a great job on her debut novel and I love it!" "A fox in the snow is an exciting tale of a young princess named Lilith who faces an unprecedented turn of events. Beautifully set in a historical premise, the story has a lion's share of twists and turns. I instantly fell in love with the engaging plot amplified by the author's descriptive style of writing. How Lilith's life changed drastically, the revelations and hurdles that follow all prove to be a nail biter. It is certainly worth reading!"
