Perfection. Madison Conway hates the word. It's all she's ever heard when growing up. If she cared about being perfect, it would fit her like a glove. She's far from perfect, though. Her life is far from it and she's fine with that.
She has a good job. Amazing friends. A little brother who is always there for her. In her eyes, her life is 'perfect'. There are just a couple of things that would make it amazing, though.
The first would be to have her mum and big brother back in her life after they left years prior. The second would be to have someone to love who loves her and who can show her that life could be great. The third and final thing is the most important thing to not only her, but her brother and that would be to have their dad out of their lives once and for all.
So what if her chance at happiness and to have what she deserves has been in front of her the whole time? What if her last chance at not only happiness but love has been in the form of the one friend who has been there for her since they met?
Will she finally have her own version of perfection thanks to one man? Or is everything still only a dream for her?

Primed: A Kayla Madison Story
Kayla Madison is a normal-ish sixteen-year old whose main desire is simple-make it through high school without embarrassing herself too much in the process. It doesn't help that she's being followed by dark figures no one else sees. When a man with incredible speed, unbelievable power, strange old-fashion clothes, and an obnoxious personality threatens her life, she discovers she is a rare "two-worlder" -a person with one parent from Earth and the other from Earth Prime. She escapes another attack by jumping through a portal to the alternate dimension, much to the chagrin of her protector. As if managing without electricity, cars, and phones on the more Edwardian world weren't enough stress; she finally meets her long-absent father, a scientist in the top-secret field of Trans-Dimensional Travel. Things get more complicated when she realizes her best friend's father, or rather the Earth Prime version of him, might have been the person that orchestrated the assaults. ___ Thanks for reading!
