Emerald Eyes

Although a part of the wealthiest family in all of Pawtucket, young and hot-headed Anastasia Van Hurst has always been the black sheep, drawing attention with every breath and step she took. Was it her glittering emerald eyes and striking beauty that made her stand out among everyone around her or her tendency to rebel against the rules that confined her within her family's expectations of what a Van Hurst should behave like? With dreams of traveling the world, living life the way that she wants, and being able to love whomever she desires, she wants nothing more than to escape the reality that she was born into. But when fate suddenly takes away Ben Holden, her only knowledge of what she believes is love against a world full of estrangement, she is forced to make a decision as per her Mother's wishes that will distract her from the pain and may be her only way out of her family's grasp. When it all leads to James Lockheart, the cold and serious business magnate of Lockheart & Sons Inc. who is 10 years her senior, the naive and child-like 20 year old is forced to navigate how to become a woman overnight. While the two struggle to get along and eventually transform their unwanted union into a business like agreement, they learn overtime that they both have something to learn from one other. And when she discovers a dark secret that her family has hidden all long, she finds herself waking up from the girl she used to be into a woman that begins to see the profound meaning of life and love.
