As soon as she discovered that she was to die on her 17th birthday, she had given up on life entirely. Much to her dismay, all does not go as planned. She finds herself awake and walking around on her birthday, when she should be dead. Now she is filled with so many questions?
Why is she alive?
Why can't she be dead?
What will her family think?
Why does Parker make her heart flutter when she has never been interested in a guy before?

Finding You
"He rests his forehead on mine and closes his eyes. Instantly, my own eyes flutter shut. I can feel his lips so very near to my own. 'Mia..," he says, almost like a whisper, 'I'm not him.' I gasp as his lips almost brush mine. 'Please... I need you to try and trust me.' If only he knew what he was asking of me." *** Mia Valiente is a girl who's spent her entire life trying not to be noticed. Her goal for the rest of junior year is to keep her head down, survive Track & Field season, and avoid her ex-boyfriend, Sean, as much as possible. It's been a year since she decided she loved Sean. It's been a few months since he broke her heart. It's been a week since he came back to stomp on the pieces. She feels like she's completely lost who she is. She doesn't know if she'll ever be that person again. Until she meets Hunter Scott. And all that begins to change. Hunter is tall, charming, and confident, with an edge that makes his kindness all the more surprising. Not to mention, gorgeous as hell. He's the kind of guy who knows exactly what he wants. So why does it seem like all he wants is Mia? Maybe Hunter is a little lost too, and maybe through finding each other, they'll find themselves. ******* HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 IN DRAMA, #15 IN ROMANCE, #1 IN QUOTESComplete
