"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.

(FINISHED WRITING, BEING REVISED!) An only child, by the name of Nathaniel, has a very unfortunate life. Unpopular, bullied, and outcasted by everyone at school; even his own parents didn't want him! He's miserable... At least that was until his eighteenth birthday where he has the most bizarre encounter. A break-in at his own home from an organization that holds a secret from the entire world! Now, he attempts to find his life's purpose, coming across many friends as well as enemies, many obstacles, great pain, deep love, and important life lessons. It's up to him to decide whether or not he's the one in control of his own life. !!!CAUTION!!! IF YOU ARE ONE TO READ BOOKS BY THE LAST CHAPTER TO SEE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, CHAPTERS TOWARD THE END OF THIS BOOK CONTAIN HUGE SPOILERS THAT MAY RUIN OR ALTER THE DESIRED EXPERIENCE AND ENJOYMENT AND IF YOU STILL WISH TO READ THE LAST CHAPTER I SUGGEST CHAPTER 53! Info of my writing style and this book: • This book is written from the first-person point of view. Everything he thinks about; everything you read, will be the exact moment of everything that's happening. When Nathaniel gets cut off and interrupted, his thoughts will be interrupted as well. • I'll put seven periods to indicate a change in the scene; to show that time has passed since the last scene. • Bolded names are important characters to Nathaniel and the story • This book contains vulgar and sometimes erotic descriptive language. • This book is targeted toward a young adult audience.

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
