He let out a slight shrug, "Putting you to death was not what I was pointing towards. After all, it is merely the mouth that talks." I shivered, as I blinked naïvely, "Humph! A-And are there methods to silence this alone?" I huffed. He snapped his arrogant, coldly-heated gaze in my direction, and my insides clenched, as I noticed his deep, powerful ocean orbs snap down to my... lips. He then snapped his gaze away, fixing his right wrist watch as his deep, authoritative voice came: "Many, trust me." ~~~~~~~~ Fate has a weird hobby of slamming us right in the face about things we so took for granted. My name is Charlotte Thorne. Never claimed to be special, never cared about that. I grew up behind the pages of my books and in the different worlds of my love and romance novels. The world, as I knew it, consisted of my humble yet happy family, my studies, hobbies, friends and a potential perfect love story I was supposed to live. Now what happens when the world, as I knew it, turns out to be mostly a lie I've lived in for a long time? I conclude a simple golden rule: Love is pure, illogical crap. And so, long story short: with my nëw rules, a strict vow, a new family, fresh job, and on top of all those, a cold and arrogant Rickard Ellington Conway as my employer, guess I have a whole lot to deal with in this fresh new world of mine ─which'll get rather interesting...

The only thing Roxanne "Roxie" Robinson wants is the ability to finally move on from the only man she's ever loved. However, that's easier said than done when the woman he left her for is her monster of a step-sister. She's been gone from home and estranged from everyone she used to know for four years when she finally hits what everyone calls "rock bottom". At 22 almost 23-years-old, she's in a big city with no job, no money, and no family. To make matters worse, she gets a wedding invite to - you guessed it - her ex-boyfriend and step-sisters ceremony. She's determined to blow the whole ordeal off - until her father finally breaks his silence to demand her presence. Upon her arrival, she realizes three things: she's still madly in love with him, he's still in love with her, and things aren't always what they seem. Everyone was keeping something from her, but there wasn't anything she could do about it. Or so she thought. With the help and support of those closest to her, she fights for what she believes is rightfully hers; Jedrek. **I'M TERRIBLE AT SUMMARIES SO PLEASE DON'T JUDGE THE BOOK SOLELY OFF OF THIS.** This is a standalone novel.
