SHE FELL FIRST, HE FELL HARDER.
Because she loved him in a way he will never know and he loved her in a way he will never show. For he believed it is hard to be loved,while for her loving him was as easy as breathing. 

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The naive blonde girl is locked in a tower and only wishes to see the world when a man shows up to fulfil her dreams while she teaches him how to dream for himself, too.
Sounds familiar, right?

No, this is not Tangled; this is not the story of your Rapunzel and Flynn but my Evelyn and Harry.

A story of a marriage bounded by a contract not by love.

In a world where love feels like a distant dream, Evelyn has always been a burden, neglected and abused by her family. Just as she dares to hope for a brighter future, she is abandoned at the altar by her intended groom, leaving her heart shattered and her spirit fragile. Feeling unwanted and trapped in a cycle of indifference, she is haunted by the shadows of her past until Harry, a boy from her childhood who once showed her kindness, steps in to marry her out of obligation.

But their union is steeped in mystery. Harry carries his secrets, feeling the weight of duty pressing down on him. As they navigate their unexpected marriage, Evelyn grapples with her self-worth and the dark memories that threaten to consume her. What hidden truths lie beneath Harry's stoic exterior? 

As they face societal judgments and family pressures, they begin to unravel the complexities of their pasts, revealing shocking truths that could either bind them together or tear them apart.

They've known each other since they were eleven, inseparable best friends for as long as they can remember, but long distance and spotty behavior causes them to lose touch after graduation. When Maddie and Harry run into each other again ten years later, what happens when feelings that were pushed away begin to resurface? EXCERPT: "How about this..." He suddenly gets an idea, a bold one, but he can't help but share it. "If neither of us are married by thirty, let's get married." Obviously, she'll be married by thirty. She's perfect, and any man who's as dense as a rock could see it. Surely, someone will sweep her off her feet and put a ring on her finger in the next twelve years, it's inevitable with the type of person she is. Deep down he wants it to be him, but he wouldn't dare make a move that could ruin the strongest friendship he's had his entire life. Maddie finds herself smiling at Harry's idea, she loves it. It won't happen though, because some girl in the future is bound to fall in love with Harry and his kind heart, and he'll be head over heels for her too. It's inevitable that someone will fall in love with his dimpled smile and caring soul, and even though Maddie already has, she wouldn't dare make a move that could ruin the strongest friendship she's had her entire life. The age of thirty is twelve years away for them, it's too obvious that nothing will come from this harmless bet. "Deal." "Really?" Harry raises his eyebrows, amused at her response. "Really." They shake hands just as the song comes to an end and another one begins. But Harry doesn't let go of Lainey's hand, instead he catches her off guard by spinning her under his arm and dipping her. "You better not fall in love then." STARTED MARCH 2021 COMPLETED OCTOBER 2021 *NOT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE REAL HARRY STYLES OR HIS CAREER*

Tatum Williams, 17 years old, is finally in her last year of school. For her the years seemed to drag longer than usual. Tatum and her mom move around frequently for reasons she likes to keep secret. She will be attending her senior year of high school in her fourth school in the past 3 years. Because they move around so often, people didn't see the need in learning her name so she was always called new girl, rumors would spread about her, and she was bullied. She only had one friend the past 3 years and she didn't stick around long. She thought people had found out about her past somehow and that was why they were so cruel to her. Maybe just maybe this year would be different because instead of moving to a different state they moved out of the country to London. She can finally truly be herself. No one would know about her past and wouldn't have any idea who she was, or she had hoped. On her first day, she comes face to face with a certain boy who's looks and kindness (which she didn't get much of) catch her off guard, but when talking to him she feels a set of eyes watching them and sees it's another boy. Out of these two boys one isn't who he says he is and the other knows exactly who that person really is. Tatum has one rule: don't fall in love because the next day she could be leaving. But will her heart let her stick to that rule? Who will she fall for, and how much pain will she have to go through to find out the one she may be falling for is the one who isn't who he says he is? Will the one who is right for her save her before she gets hurt? Can he get her to open up about her past and fall for him, who is everything she needs?
