Lost Island Series #5: "Listen to the song, to the symphony of the sea and sail towards the love that was lost yet found again." Cathalina once called the palace her home, but now it feels like a cage. Sheltered, hidden, and controlled, she was nothing more than a puppet, obeying the commands of those who dictated her life. Lost and lonely, she realized it was time to break free and rediscover herself. When her parents announced her arranged marriage, she had reached her limit. She refused to let others decide her fate any longer. This time, she would make her own choice-to search for the man her heart truly longed for. Fleeing into the night, she found herself aboard a ship, where she met the tall, enigmatic, with striking midnight-black eyes, and handsome Captain Lucian Alessandro Castanier. Would their love rewrite a fate that's been sealed long ago? Could it defy fate? Could it defy the very forces that threaten to tear them apart-even death itself? As they sail together upon the endless sea, will they reclaim a love that was once lost? Or would the cruel destiny make history repeat itself? Book 5 of Lost Island Series Note: Please read the first four stories related to this series before this one. Or, you can read any of the first four then this if you prefer. But I suggest you'll read this last for more thrill.

If you're judging this book by its cover and title, you're already proving the point this story wants to make. Try to move past this satirical obstacle in front of you. This is a story about bullying, and like the hundreds of other books on the topic, it will show you the harsh reality of being discriminated, belittled, ridiculed for something you cannot control- how you look, who you love, or what you believe in. But unlike these books, this story's sole purpose is not to tear your heart out of your chest as you mourn over your loss of faith in humanity. Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will also be moments of happiness, laughter, and love. - Naomi Lorraine, better known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her school. Even with the help of her sarcastic comebacks, that doesn't stop her from getting bullied by everyone in Dartwell High. Every day her childhood bully, Raymond Meyers, knocks her off her feet, literally. However, she can't do anything but survive the laughs, insults, and bruises high school gives her. There are three senior transfer students, dubbed the Three Musketeers: Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch. All in one day, Naomi catches their attention one by one. With her snarky attitude, but innocent look, they can't help but want her. But not the way you're thinking. Oh no, not like that. Instead, it's probably the whole opposite. It's quite simple really. She'll be their good girl. And they'll be her bad boys. ~ [This story is a first draft written by a 13 to 15-year-old girl so it has its fair share of grammar mistakes and plot holes.] Wattys 2015 Talk of the Town Award Second Place Story of 2015 Best Humor and Overall Points of The Fiction Awards 2016 Third in the Writers Awards 2016 Highest Ranks: #1 Humor, #1 Teen Fiction
