Uncovering the Layers of Everly Kendall

❝ . . . we shouldn't always have what we want: it spoils the best of us, doesn't it? ❞

―

Everly Kendall had never worked a day in her life. I mean she didn't need to with her Father running a Fortune 500 company, making him a multi-millionaire and the richest man in Texas all from animals. She had everything handed to her on silver, no not silver, golden platter. And Everly loved it. What more could she wish for? Everly was blonde, rich, and pretty. The three things anyone needed in life to be successful, according to her. But sometimes, Everly went off the deep end and actually wanted someone to listen to her when she spoke or not assume she had an I.Q. of thirty, just for being blonde. She just might get that from an accidental D.U.I. and the stubborn arresting officer, Everly was being forced to shadow to give her a sense of "hard work and commitment, the feel of making a difference in someone's life" according to her Father. Everly didn't expect to fall for the orny cop. And neither did he.

Carter Brooks worked every day of his life. He worked his way out of poverty, and a mentally ill mother, surviving college on student loans and a football scholarship, which disappointed a lot of people when he became a cop. Carter knew since he was twelve, that he wanted to protect people and that's just what cops did. Carter graduated top of his class at the academy and he had a wonderful girlfriend who supported him even though for all they do the police salary is very little. Carter wanted one day to become the top of the ranks in his department, his philosophy was 'Dream It, Believe It, Do It'. He didn't figure that all he worked for in life would be in the hands of a spoiled brat whom at the snap of her fingers could make him lose his job. But that just made her more enticing to him, and Carter figured during the time Everly was shadowing, he'd make sure to uncover all the layers of Everly Kendall.
