Ten Seconds Later is a story about Taylor Billings, an ambitious but naive eighteen-year-old who dreams of being a model. With a cookie-cutter idea of success in mind, Taylor works day and night to afford her lifestyle. Her only support system is her fabulous and flamboyant best friend, Stuffy, who interns at a fashion magazine and counts designers as his gods. 
Sooner than expected, with some manipulating and arm twisting, Taylor's dreams start becoming her reality. Her life becomes a roller-coaster and, before she realizes it, she's fired from her part-time job in retail, having an illicit affair with the head of her modelling agency, and has a bigger wardrobe than she has space for. 
But what Taylor doesn't realize is that big labels come with bigger problems. Soon, she's snapping at stylists, arriving late to shoots, mistreating staff, and meddling with the idea of cosmetic surgery. When ties are tested, Taylor finds herself looking for the right path, only to find that she seems to have lost all of her friends on her journey. 
In this story of success and fame, reaching to the top is one problem but staying there is a whole other crisis. When love, friendship, and loyalty shatter, Taylor will be forced to question whether this career is worth all the casualties.All Rights Reserved

An ex-couples rivalry for the spot as student body president becomes even more convoluted when two new, unexpected candidates enter the race. Chloe and Preston team up, each vowing to get one member kicked from the competition-- but when they both end up helping their victims to spite each other, the campaign gets a lot more complicated. * * * * * Chloe Peters is determined to solidify her most-popular-girl-in-school status with the label of student body president, so she's furious when three other candidates enter the race. Now, she's competing against her ex-boyfriend Preston McMillan, some nobody named Emily, and the school's notorious troublemaker, Finn Harrel. If it means saving her pride and not letting Preston get the best of her, she'd do just about anything-- even help out Finn, who despite his good looks, gets on her last nerve with his lackadaisical attitude and class-clown antics. Preston McMillan just wants a distraction from the fact that his wrestling team is about to be disbanded. When he signs up for the presidential race, he doesn't expect Chloe to go berserk, nor does he expect to meet Emily, a quiet, stony girl he can't believe he's never noticed before. After deciding to help with her campaign, he's got plenty of distractions-- enough to make him wonder what really matters, and enough to make his friends question where his loyalties lie. One thing's for sure: suddenly, this race is about a lot more than student government. 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃 (𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝) - 𝟑/𝟖/𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃 (𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬) - 𝟏𝟎/𝟏𝟓/𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃 (𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬)- 𝟖/𝟐𝟒/𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎
