How many times can bad things happen to one person, before they are pushed to the edge of the cliff? When the only options they have are either to give up or run away from it all?
Genevieve Munroe could probably tell you. She knows more pain than she’s ever known happiness. She’d been bullied all through elementary school, never mind the fact that she always had her best friend Avalon Raider as her protector. But Avalon’s been murdered and Genevieve is accused for her death.
She can’t find any reason for her to be alive in Jackson Point, North Carolina anymore. Waking up in the morning to face another colourless day has taken away her energy. Genevieve knows that suicide isn’t her way out, but running away certainly is.
A fresh start is what she needs. Away from all the disgusted looks and the snide remarks. So she packs up her things and leaves, not turning to look back at the supporting family being left behind.
Her destination is Tyler Texas, the home of her Veterinarian Aunt; Harriet Mills. Texas will be her fresh start, a place for her to start a new life away from murdered best friends and bullies out to kill her with their words and actions. But during her journey there, Genevieve runs in to trouble. Trouble that could very well coast her life.
When finally arriving at Aunt Harriet’s, she meets Beau Paxton. A bad boy who seems to be determined in breaking away the shell around her and becoming her friend.
Can Harriet and Beau Paxton be the ones to save her? Will Genevieve have her fresh start, or will she be destined to bullying everywhere she goes? Will the murder of her best friend follow her? And what about Greyson? The man she ran into on her journey to Texas? This is Genevieve Munroe’s story and my debut novel “Holding Out For A Hero”

His Sweet Lies
Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear.
