Three years ago, Anoushka Martinez made a decision that  changed her life forever. 

Three years after, armed with her quest for perfection and her favorite snakeskin pumps and designer dresses, she now leads the most glamorous lifestyle and fashion magazine in the country. This makes her an in-demand prize to the metro's most eligible bachelors and something short of a nightmare to her colleagues.

But nobody knows that she lives a double life. Nobody knows that the "ice queen" Anoushka holds a secret that might taint the polished reputation she built for three years. An encounter with a person from her past threatens the perfect life she is living, and puts her into a whirlwind of emotions she never knew existed.

A tough-love story, built by insecurities, gets stronger and more passionate in the midst of the ocean. Two different hearts, two different lives, but the same pain. --- Cher McBroom is a young woman with insecurities that goes over her own will. Life has crushed her bad, very bad. She was sadly a victim of a 'natural disaster', as she names it, and this disaster has led to other disasters in her life, creating a rift between her and her future. After years of torture, sadness, and being rejected by all who she thought were her 'friends', she decides to seize her baggage and her pain and embark on an adventure she has never experienced before She wants one thing, loneliness, but a first frail encounter with a young man makes her feel things differently. The mysterious man who wears sunglasses every time is what might be able to allow Cher to live a bit, at least, a tiny bit. Sether, on the other hand, is a young man who has his future in the fog. He doesn't care much about the world, he doesn't care about the women who approach him all the times, he doesn't care about the mockeries he receives regularly because of his hideous sunglasses, he doesn't mind, because he knows the pain, he knows it deeply. Both are solitary birds seeking a shoulder to lean on without even knowing it. They will meet, they will feel the same, they will probably fall passionately in love, but the secrets within them have the keys to their future together. --- Started: 14/11/19 Completed: 5/07/20 Hope you'll love this!

Matt was a track star like his brother, but everything changed following his Junior year of high school. His girlfriend Kris along with one of her friends were killed in a head on car accident involving a drunk driver. Even though Matt was in the car with them he somehow survived. After the accident nothing seems the same for Matt, and despite finishing out his senior year, his motivation to move forward is gone. Desperately in search of something new, Matt turns to a martial arts school that his best friend had recommended. Set in the beautiful beach town of Oceanside this first person narrative focuses on key experiences that Matt goes through during his first year of training. The novel takes the reader on a journey following him as he struggles with the demands of karate training, as he deals with new relationships surrounding him, and most importantly as he learns to live with the memories of the accident that while becoming more clear, still haunt and hold him back. The variety of people he meets as part of his training, some more eccentric than others, push him to try and answer the call; including the "beautiful" brown belt Cammie, who helps him try and fully face the memories of the accident. The idea is to showcase the world of hard core martial arts and integrate it into the challenges of overcoming serious trauma. It highlights how the power of being a part of a community in the fascinating world of martial arts can be surprising, challenging, yet transformative. With the advent of a series like "Cobra Kai" I believe there is interest in coming of age narratives that are set within the sometimes bizarre and mysterious world of martial arts. I personally love John Green's work and hopefully there is at least a taste of what he offers in terms of intensity and depth of character. The following "tags" I think would fit well in trying to describe the narrative : coming of age, drama, tragedy, karate, kata, fighting, romance, and recovery.
