BOOK 1 of 2 All Vanessa Eaton had ever wanted was to start over. Most of all, she wanted to be free. When the opportunity to rid herself of her abusive father arises, Vanessa decides to throw caution to the wind and grab fate by its horns. Her choices lead her to Dauntless and she holds onto hope that her new faction would give her the strength she needed. Just when she thinks she has finally caught a break, life throws her a curveball. Not only is she brought face-to-face with her long lost brother, who was nothing like she'd remembered, but a certain blue-eyed leader seems to have his sights set on her. Now, Vanessa is faced with a new set of challenges and she must decide who to trust...one wrong move and she might just end up at the bottom of the Chasm.

"Come on babe." Evan insists. "Please? For me?" I look around, considering my options. The party has started to die down, and the small lake further into the woods is pretty concealed. "Fine." I sigh, grinning. "Really?" He smirks. "You'll skinny dip with me?" I pause. "Sure." "Great." He says. "I love you Harper." <><><><> Harper is your typical good girl. Shy, quiet, and reserved. So everybody is surprised when she manages to land a guy like Evan. Prom King, quarterback, ladies man. Evan introduces her to a new world, a world of popularity. And Harper tries to be the best girlfriend she can be. But one night, it all falls apart, and Harper is left in a mortifying situation. Naked. Luckily the River boys are around to save the day. After a few pictures of course.
