She built her walls to survive - but he saw the girl still hiding behind. ***** Hope Graham doesn't remember what it feels like to be whole.

And no matter how far she runs, he's always the one who finds her. ***** He smiled too. "Alright. My turn. Truth or dare?" "Truth." "Tell me something no one knows about you." "No one?" "Not even your grandma." I thought for a second. "Okay. You're not gonna believe this, but I'm the biggest nerd ever." He raised an eyebrow. "No way." "I'm serious. I read everything - books, articles, cereal boxes. Anything with words." "But you're always sleeping in class." "I don't like school books. I like storybooks and poetry." "What kind of books?" "Anything except romance." "Why not romance?" "I don't believe in love or happy endings. I'm not a fan of fairytales." "Ah, so you're a love skeptic." "Pretty much." "Why?" "Because I don't think there's an emotion more powerful than pain." "So... you've never been in love?" I shook my head. "No." "Do you want to fall in love?" "Why would I want something that doesn't exist? I'm better off alone." "What if I proved to you that love does exist?" "You'd be wasting your time." I smirked. ***** The Girl She Never Knew She Was is a hauntingly tender story about love, healing, and finding yourself in the person you least expect.

Will is a slut. At least, according to everyone else she is. With a past that both defines her and won't let her go, Will has had enough of the name-calling and assumptions. She's decided to use it all as fuel to get what she wants: to take down Reid Reynolds.

She has an entire year to follow through with her agenda. No problem. It's all under control. Except it isn't. When women start getting assaulted on campus, everything Will is running from begins to catch up with her. She will inevitably have to face it--and decide if getting revenge on the bad boy will actually get her what she wants. NaNoWriMo2021 Warnings: sexual assault, mentions of rape, and stalking.
