In which a girl realizes family isn't by blood but by bond.

Isla Holbrooke wakes up everyday knowing she's different. She accepts it, she embraces it, but she's not sure she quite understands it. Her scars are mental, not there to be seen but to be felt. So when her friend signs her up for a matchmaking service, everything begins to change after she receives an anonymous text. What starts as a conversation leads to life-changing events. She no longer finds pity in her dull life anymore, no longer dreads the visits to her psychiatrist. Now, there's somebody to talk to and somebody who listens. Ash Castello has just come back from Italy. Forced to take over his father's business, he's already begun to hate the job his first day. The coffee machines are broken, profits are falling, and the designer he's supposed to work so closely with, despises him. But there's something that helps shed light into his day. Every morning, he finds himself waiting for a text from a girl he's never even seen before. He doesn't know the colour of her eyes, but knows that her favourite colour is silver. He doesn't know her name, but knows what she calls her Turkish Siamese But he definitely doesn't know that she's the same girl he works with everyday. The girl that hates him, is also the same girl who listens to him whenever he has something to say. No... definitely not. Cover image credits go to the rightful owners! :)

| completed | Every story needs a main character. Ours is Valencia Morgan, a not-so-perfect girl living in her not-so-perfect, yet satisfying world. And every story needs a cute guy too, am I right ladies? That would be Dani- all cigarettes and cocky remarks, along with a pocketful of trouble. And because the plot just wouldn't be interesting enough, let's throw in a bunch of humor, a whole lot of drama and just a little bit of tears. Wait, there's also a unicorn that poops skittles somewhere in there. Mix those all together, and what do you get? The assurance of their worlds colliding, new possibilities, and a whirlpool of romance that just might turn their lives upside down. Cover image credits go to the rightful owners! :)

Now available in paperback! "I LOVE IT!" - CarniaHolmes "I'm going to break your nose, because I don't like your face," Carter said. She pointed to Zac. "I'm going to dislocate your other shoulder, just to make them even." She cocked her head and gave the main guy a sickly sweet smile. "I'm going to break your wrist, taking away your baseball career. And finally you, Finch," she said, looking to the last guy. "I'm going to bust your ankle because I don't like the way you walk." She slid her hands into her pockets. "Now, how does that sound to all of you? And please feel free to look amused, skeptical or patronizing at this point. I'll have all the more fun wiping the expressions off your faces."
