If all goes well, she will soon be leaving to head to Europe for a semester to study abroad, since that has been her dream since she was a little girl, and since she has a four-point-oh she is allowed to go her freshman year. Both of her parents died four years ago in a horrific car accident with a semi truck, while she was in the car with them, her life was spared. Nightmares haunt her and any sleep is minimal and wrestles, and she tries to drown out her thoughts with endless study and reading. She often wakes up with screaming nightmares re-living the event. She is full of hidden secrets, some of which even her best friend Nate doesn’t know. Being an only child has never been easy for her and Nate is like a brother… or is he more? She fears her trip to Europe because he will not be there with her. But her fears are relieved when she finds comfort in a snobby, curly haired, young English boy from Holmes Chapel, Cheshire that just happens to go to the same university she is studying abroad at… can you guess who it is? Will he replace Nate? Will she even come back? Guess you’ll have to find out for yourself… wont you?

She Belongs to Me
Eleanor Montgomery has always known what she wants-success, independence, and a future free of distractions. Fierce, determined, and a straight-A student, she keeps her head down and her heart locked away, refusing to entertain the idea of relationships. Love, in her eyes, is nothing but an unnecessary complication. But Daniel Monteiro sees her differently. The heir to one of Italy's most feared mafia families, he's used to getting everything he desires. Women throw themselves at him, craving his attention, but the only one who holds his interest is Eleanor-the girl who refuses to acknowledge his existence. It's not just her beauty that captivates him, but her unwavering focus, her unshakable confidence, and the way she remains unaffected by his presence. Daniel is not the kind of man who gives up easily. He's patient, cunning, and knows exactly how to get what he wants. And what he wants is Eleanor. At first, she resists him, unwilling to let him disrupt the life she's built. But Daniel doesn't just pursue-he infiltrates. He appears where she least expects, forces her to acknowledge the chemistry crackling between them, and slowly breaks down the walls she's so carefully constructed. The more she fights him, the harder she falls. He's everything she shouldn't want-dangerous, possessive, and from a world she has no business being a part of. But desire doesn't follow logic, and the closer she gets, the more she realizes that resisting him might be the biggest challenge of her life. Will Eleanor surrender to the fire between them, or will she risk losing the only man who's ever truly seen her? And when the dark reality of his world threatens to pull them apart, will their love be strong enough to survive?
