She had long accepted that she would never fall in love.
Lady Eleanor Ashcroft would rather lose herself in dusty books and impossible dreams than spend another evening entertaining gentlemen who mistook wealth for wit. While her mother insists every ball could lead to the perfect match, Eleanor is convinced the right conversation is far rarer than the right husband.
Then, at a masquerade ball she never wished to attend, she meets a mysterious boy on a quiet balcony.
He knows nothing of polite society, everything about books, and somehow manages to outwit her at every turn.
By the time the masks come off... he is gone.
Armed with nothing but a memory, a handful of unanswered questions, and a determination that borders on foolishness, Eleanor embarks on a journey that may lead her to the one person she cannot forget-or to truths far greater than she ever imagined.
Some meetings are planned.
Others change the course of two lives forever.

To Love Hate
[COMPLETED] "Don't come any closer." "Your a feisty one aren't you?" He states with a slight smirk as he pushes forward, ignoring my statement and forcing my hand to retract and defend my body from a closer proximity. My ability to form a response is shattered as he moves forward even more, his body now an arm's length away. My breath hitches in my throat.

His tall frame leans over mine, the heat from his body decorating my skin with goosebumps as he moves his face mere centimetres away from mine. He places his hands on the wall behind me, caging me in and stays still for a split second before moving down to my ear and whispering. "Because you are never escaping me again." - Five years.
