Evangeline Amarillo slips into the small town of Nome, Alaska like a ghost. Undetected by anyone except the owner of a tiny cottage she rents on the enormous property of the Bradley's.
But soon rumors are flying and Ever is made into a mute abomination. Struggling to hold on to the tattered remnants of invisibility she has left, she keeps quiet. Even when school begins and she attends classes.
Everyone accepts the rumors as truth. Everyone, except Nathaniel Bradley.
Grandson of the owner, and heir to the Bradley billions, Nate is the town's golden boy. But he can't accept the fragmented lies fed to him about Ever.
He wants the truth, and he won't stop until he gets it.

Please Her ✓
"Look at me" He demanded. I flinched at the tone he used but lifted my head to look at him. I stared at the wall behind him. I couldn't look at him. "Into my eyes" He added in the same tone. I took a deep breath and landed my gaze on him. I saw a ghost of a smile form on his lips. He seemed happy but I could see his eyes watering, making his inky blue eye color appear lighter. "You never look at me" He whispered. I could hear a crack in his voice. "Before you I thought I was nothing-" He smiled bitterly, "-but when you look at me I feel like I'm worth something. Weird right?" My heart was beating loudly as he got closer. This is a spin off for Nate from 'Her Guardian'. It can be read as a stand alone but you can read the previous book if you want to get a better understanding of the storyComplete
