His friends, his families, everybody lied to him since birth. He vowed to never be that stupid again. So he decided to do the one thing that never betrayed him and take him far from England's shore. But the treacherousness followed him even on board the Eagle. And it is the most cunning scheme he's seen. It doesn't help that the person manipulating him is the most attractive woman he'd ever laid eyes on. She was wily, sharp-tongue, intelligent, enticing, tempting, and more! He didn't know if he should throw her overboard or lock her up in his cabin so he can have his ways with her. A girl who is too smart for her own good. Charlene Arwin's one wish is to travel the world and see for herself the different species recorded from zoologists and naturalists. What would it be like to witness the process of transmutation for oneself instead of reading it in textbooks? What would society do if they know she is more than a wallflower sitting by herself at parties? Parties that she have no interest to attend in the first place! Society would be shock to discover that Charlene is a girl with brains! Intellects! When the opportunity presented itself, Charlene decided to seize it. It didn't matter that she have to pretend to be a boy for the next two years on board the brig Eagle-a surveying and exploration voyage of the coastline of South America.

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart. Our story hasn't even started. ***** THE SPENCERS SERIES BOOK #1 © 2020 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
