Chase the Pretty Girl: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romance

Cameras don't scare me. People seeing what's under my mask does.
But when Carson Brooks walks into the shop, I learn a new kind of fear -- one with a pulse, a jawline, and a mean streak a mile wide. He's cruel, cunning, and hell-bent on breaking me if I don't bend to his will.

Too bad he picked the wrong girl to bully. I don't kneel for anyone.

Then one night changes everything, and he takes something from me I can never get back. I tell myself it meant nothing - he meant nothing - but a piece of me is still in his hands, and I don't know how to get it back.

Before this goes too far, I need to figure out how to protect more than my ego. I need to protect my heart.

THE ALL-AMERICAN DREAM
Bodi Meyers' busted mouth isn't the problem. It's her attitude, the kind she saves just for me. She thinks she has the upper hand. Cute. Nobody conquers me.

Until the night she blindsided me and wrecked everything I thought I knew. Now I'm stuck in an impossible situation, and she's slipping away no matter how hard I fight.

And here's the part that keeps me up at night: the girl hiding behind a mask - the one the world shuns - is the only thing that matters.
And I'm losing her.
