{Highest Rankings: #1 in Bill Skarsgard & Pennywise} [COMPLETED] "He's a mystery, but with a mystery comes the unknown." She thought he was an imaginary friend from her childhood. When he kidnaps her years later, she realizes she was dead wrong. ➢➢➢ A/N ➺ This book was inspired by Stephen King's "It." Most of the characters do not belong to me; however, the plot does belong to me, as well as a couple of characters. Also, just to clarify, I started writing this book when I was 12 and obsessed with Twilight. (No, there are no sparkly vampires, sorry!) There are no "spicy" scenes in this book as well, but it is rated "Mature" for some graphic detail and/or triggering events involving abuse and violence. This book has many plot holes and most definitely needs to be rewritten, but as I said, I was 12 when I wrote it. I've gotten much better at writing fiction and dialogue since then, so please bear with me when I tell you this book is not the best book I've written. Thank you to anyone who enjoyed it!

Georgianna, a mysterious, unchaperoned lady, must join a California bound wagon train with a Joseon card shark in order to escape her unfortunate past. Georgianna, often called Miss Elliot, hasn't found a place to call home ever since her father's unexpected death. Driven from her New England home and forced to abandon her Uncle's plantation in the dead of night, she flees to the "Gateway to the West" where she hopes to join a wagon train headed to California - the only problem being, she doesn't know the first thing about traveling West. Lee "Card" Young, sometimes referred to as a con artist, has never spent more than two weeks in any town since before the Mexican War broke out. He knows how to manipulate a deck of cards better than most Americans could cut a steak. The saloon gamblers don't like his slick fingering but can't figure out how he's cheating, so they drive him out of their town on claims that "Chin-eese" don't belong among them. To avoid being lynched, he keeps a small suitcase filled for a quick escape to the next town - which happens to be Independence, Missouri. Will the Card Shark con Georgianna out of her money or will she con him out of his heart?

Nina felt a pair of eyes watching her. Warm, gilded brown, like the whiskey in her glass. That was how she met Roman Conway for the first time. Three years later, she meets him again, and she is pulled back into a past that cracks the surface of the seemingly perfect life she curated. ***** As Nina Jordan admires New York City from a rooftop, she seems content. She is surrounded by her closest friends, and Cameron - the man she is marrying. But when Nina goes to get a drink at the bar, she bumps into Roman Conway. To Roman, Nina looks different. Her signature curls have been pulled straight, and cut into a blunt bob, and there is a dark melancholy about her. The biggest change he is struck by is that she no longer looks at him the way she used to. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] Cover designed by April Alforque
