Excerpt: - She said,"You may be beautiful, but you are an ugly person on the inside, and that's why you'll never obtain true love and friendship. People like you just because you're good looking. Guys want to get in your knickers, and girls think you would benefit them and that's the only reason you're popular." I kept listening to all the blame because, frankly speaking, I became numb to that fourth dimension. I didn't understand, because I hadn't done anything; what was I being accused of? What did I ever do for people to hate me? Yes, I was beautiful, but how was that even my fault? It's mother nature's fault. Was being beautiful even a fault? If I was given an option, I would simply swap my looks for good, caring friends in a heartbeat. People tend to notice my looks without acknowledging that I'm smart. Why don't people notice my mind instead? Having been listed to more accusations than what I deserved, I burst out,"I am a decent enough person, and I can find someone who'll love me despite how I look." She smiled and said, "Prove it. Discard your looks and dress up ugly. If you win someone's true love in the next three months, I'll rub my nose under your feet and apologize in front of everyone." I smirked and replied," Challenge accepted." 🌹🌹🌹 Hey there, before you proceed with reading, I want to make a few things clear 1) All the Grammar NAZIS,I am not a professional writer.

{star-crossed romance/forced proximity/18+} Normally, intergalactic drama doesn't reach into any place as backwater as the Milky Way Galaxy, let alone a planet as primitive as Earth. But an exception is made in Amelia's case. She is thrown into a deadly crossfire of a millennia-old feud between a fallen empire and a revenge-starved tyrant. With few options and even less time, she turns to an unlikely ally to save her best friend from the clutches of a monster and help unravel a conspiracy involving an assassin betrayed by the empress he served. Sacrifices will be made. Flames will attract. Prey will turn predator. Fate will be wholly defied.
