The Guardian: New Standalone Novel
This hasn't been edited. Pardon the mishaps. 

Synopsis:

While girls her age lost their virginity before they reached eighteen, Gisele wholeheartedly reserved hers, plotting the perfect moment to give it away to Jared St. James. So she waited until she was of legal age, hoping that he'd see her in a different light and not the besotted little girl who used to follow him around. She was insanely beautiful, witty and vivaciously full of life and the only thing she wished for was one night in his arms. 

Tech billionaire Jared St. James was a renowned whiz in his field. At the age of nineteen, he had been reveled all over the world and was already working at one of Silicone Valley's top companies, working and thriving under the guidance of his mentor Peter Weber, Gisele's father. 

Jared worked incessant hours and didn't have the time to be in a relationship. The ones he had, well, they lingered awhile hoping that he'd commit to them but eventually, he'd move on to the next trophy girlfriend. Gisele Weber fitted the bill but Jared scarcely paid attention to her. 

But the moment she secured his attention, it was all for the wrong reasons and Gisele found herself in a ceaseless revolving wheel of madness, chasing for the man who didn't want to be caught. 

They did say be careful for what you wish for...
