Painting The BadBoy ✔
| completed | Every story needs a main character. Ours is Valencia Morgan, a not-so-perfect girl living in her not-so-perfect, yet satisfying world.

And because the plot just wouldn't be interesting enough, let's throw in a bunch of humor, a whole lot of drama and just a little bit of tears. Wait, there's also a unicorn that poops skittles somewhere in there. Mix those all together, and what do you get? The assurance of their worlds colliding, new possibilities, and a whirlpool of romance that just might turn their lives upside down. Cover image credits go to the rightful owners! :)Complete
