"They call me the wild rose,
But my name was Eliza Day.
Why they called me this I do not know,
For my name was Eliza Day..."
This is the short bittersweet story about Eliza Day and her suitor Lincoln Smiths and their three day courtship. Eliza is a sweet, innocent and naive girl who is automatically drawn to the mysterious and dark Lincoln who has singled her out and is captivated by her beauty. However, if Eliza wanted a happy ending, she's never going to get it as she finds out too late...
"As I kissed her goodbye I said, 'All beauty must die'
And lent down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth"
It's based on the song by Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue - Where the wild Roses grow...

My Girl
Cal Jackson's new life as a rockstar fails to account for one thing: the existence of the girl he loves. ***** "What are you thinking about?" she asks. "A song," I say. "A new song." I stare at the ocean as I sing the song that I wrote, something that comes from the darkest place of my heart. "Do you even know how gifted you are?" she whispers. "You're destined to be someone big, Cal." "Really?" "Yeah." ***** She's perfect in every way. Beautiful. Smart. Her bright future is right there in front of her eyes. While here I am. Ruined. No college, let alone a future. Just an image of a wannabe rockstar with tattoed arms and an old guitar. I knew that our story would be no less than that tragic Romeo and Juliet shit the moment I laid my eyes on her, but still, I can't resist her. The moment she whispers my name, "Cal," I lose all sanity. She becomes my melody, my lyrics, the song that keeps echoing in my ears. People call her Mia. I call her my Amy, her name crafted above my beating heart, tattoed on my skin. Amelia Davis is my girl. Mine. And only mine. ***** THE JACKSONS BOOK #1 © 2021 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.
