She thought she knew true evil. Saw it in their red eyes. Felt it through the pain he inflicted on her. But the real evil was still out there. Waiting for her. Getting captured had not been part of her plan. Most happenings in the past years had not been part of a plan. But they happened anyways. And she fought through all of them. Only, this time is different: More pain, more tears and fear. However she learns that sometimes losing control will not destroy you and that some things are simply not meant to be broken. There are secrets to be revealed. Old wounds to be ripped open again. And truth to be found in ancient legends. Because everything falls out of place once in a while and even the goddess of the moon sometimes makes mistakes.

"They may see you as how you try to be, but what I see is what you try not to be." SHE IS A BASTARD... Maxine Theobald hid from the rest of society to protect her father's name. But as she grows tired of her role-playing games every year during the famous Theobald weekend parties, she starts to question how she has been living her life. She starts to wonder about the other part of her that she was deprived of--her mother and why she left her. A DISGUISE... Having finally found the courage to search for the one thing that she believes can help her understand her true nature, Maxine cuts her hair, puts on her breeches, and runs away from the only home she has ever known. She travels to the affluent town of Wickhurst and found herself employed as the valet of the famous rake Nicholas Everard, a game she will later find to be quite dangerous. SOMETHING DIFFERENT... Maxine set out into an adventure with none but one goal, yet found herself stumbling upon an unlikely find for the search of something else--romance. Still set in the fictional place of the Town, this fifth book in the Everard Family series follows one heroine who has chosen to defy the norm and her own fears in an attempt to understand her own nature, the first step to a discovery of not just about her lineage, but of love so unexpectedly, irritatingly and undeniably powerful. (This story is a standalone title in the Everard Family series.)

Sometimes I fantasize that I exist in a world of fairytales. Heck, I wish my world was a fairytale, like in those enchanting Disney classics. You know, those stories of young, beautiful princesses that long for a prince. Then, about thirty minutes into the movie, their Prince Charming swoops in prestigiously on his noble steed. It's love at first sight. Sure, they have to deal with an evil step-mother, dragon or such, but it makes it seem as though their attempts to overcome these obstacles are effortless. Most importantly, in the end, they all live happily ever after. Of course, it turns out that nobody's life can be perfect as a Disney princess' (I've had to learn that the hard way), but a girl can always dream. Here's my story: I've already found my Prince Charming, he just doesn't know I'm his princess. Also, it didn't take only thirty minutes to realize that he was the one for me. More around damn five years. Five years that vacuumed the breath out of me. Evaluate that sentence how you want, but unless you make the effort to find out more, I'll be leaving you with these last words. I am Princess Esmay Holander and my Prince is Spencer McClane. ***Credit to the lovely hopeforhappiness for making this gorgeous cover

Sie liefen jetzt schon gefühlte 5 Stunden durch diesen dummen Wald. Er hätte sich einfach weigern sollen bei so etwas und vor allem mit so einer Person mitzumachen. Wer kam denn auch bitte auf die Idee Teams zu losen?! Dazu kam diese unerträgliche Hitze. Sein dummes Anhängsel war mittlerweile ganz still geworden. Etwas was ihm gut gefiel, denn hätte sie noch weiter ihre dummen Bemerkungen gemacht, hätte er für nichts garantieren können. "Dan lass uns endlich Pause machen! Ich denke nicht, dass wir heute noch den richtigen Weg finden werden. Außerdem wird es dunkel. Es wäre wirklich vernünftiger sich einen Schlafplatz zu suchen! Dan? Hörst du mir überhaupt zu? Man Dan jetzt bleib doch mal stehen!" Jetzt schrie sie ihn schon an. Sie war mit ihren Kräften am Ende. Nicht nur, dass sie generell eine Niete in Sport war, nein, ihr Knöchel schmerzte ungemein von den Sturz vorhin. Aber ihn schien das gar nicht zu interessieren. Er rannte vor ihr durch diesen Wald und sie war ihm völlig egal. "Man Jill! Sei doch einfach leise! Natürlich werden wir den Weg finden! Wir müssen den Weg finden. Ich hab keinen Bock mit dir die gesamte Nacht in diesen verfickten Wald zu verbringen." "Wir hätten vorhin einfach rechts gehen müssen. Ich hab´s dir gesagt!" Eins war sicher. Lange würde er nicht mehr ruhig bleiben können. Jill Johnson liebt es Zeit mit ihrer Familie zu verbringen. Sie liebt es schwierige Matheaufgaben zu lösen und würde alles für ihre beiden Freunde Josy und Max tun. Und dann gibt es da Dan Matthews. Captain des Fußballteams, Mädchenschwarm und auf jeder Party gesetzt.
