The Mask we Wear. by SharonOyebode

"In the blink of an eye, her radiant smile ensnared him" * I braced myself for the revelation that would shatter my world. My heart constricted as the truth began to sink in. "What is my truth?" I whispered, my voice trembling. "The life I've known since birth, or the secrets hidden in plain sight?" Tears welled up in my eyes as I gazed upward, feeling crushed. In the midst of luxury and privilege, the past lays awake. Nathan Crooks, son of a wealthy and charismatic figure, conceals a dark past- an open scar, a constant reminder of death's grip. He crafted his fierce persona through years of pain and discipline making his reputation precede him, striking fear into the hearts of those who cross his path. Yet, a slip occurs. A rivalry between his past and present unfolds, as he collides with the newcomer who ignites a spark within. This newcomer threatens to challenge the very foundations of his carefully constructed world. Roselyn Williams, the bright and stunning youngest daughter of the Williams' appears to have it all- wealth, loving family, intelligence and grace. Beneath her polished exterior, lies a hidden pain she's carefully suppressed, refusing to let it define her. With years of being hidden away from the public eye by her parents as a form of protection, she has grown accustomed to a simple life, until she crosses paths with Nathan Crooks, Stanford Hills High's most feared student. When Roselyn and Nathan collide, their different worlds ignite a spark. Through a maze of secrets and unresolved emotions, fueled by mutual animosity, the truth begins to unravel and masks torn apart. Will they find solace in each other, or will the shadows of their pasts tear them apart? This is a world where a tale of love, deception, and self-discovery, is explored. *Warning* No part of my book should be taken or used without my permission.

A fashion school dropout, she dreams of becoming a famous designer, but the life of a style influencer is more grind than glamour. She just needs one big break, one chance to prove her styles are red carpet worthy. When a snarky post about her celebrity crush Carmen Juarez catches the actor's attention, Vera wins her ticket to stardom. As Carmen's stylist, she sets out to prove that she's more than just pretty clothes and the right filters, and maybe even win the affections of Carmen's aloof manager, Sharise, who she quickly finds herself falling for. After a clever fashion stunt goes viral, Vera is suddenly the most sought-after stylist in Hollywood. She even gets a job offer from Carmen's rival. But her style success may not be getting her any closer to her designer dreams, and secrets are beginning to fray her sense of purpose. If Vera can't figure out what's important enough to see through to the end, even when it seems impossible, she risks losing both the professional relationship that made her and the romantic relationship that might be the one thing that matters to her as much as fashion. ***** Complete at 100k words. *featured on Wattpad's A Latte Love, #WrittenWithPride, From Our Stars, and In her words #IWD2020 reading lists* Cover by the incredible @AnnaofthePond
