August Orielle Linden is the epitome of someone near perfection. However, she has a rather opposing personality. Having exceptional abilities and raised from a highly dignified family, she is expected to be a refined, popular socialite. On the contrary, she's an outcast and a tomboy.
There is more to August's tough and cold character though, because beneath her boyish ways and heart of stone is a bitter past that changed an ordinary girl into someone extraordinary.
Follow this outstanding protagonist as she overcomes obstacles (and damned people) that get in her way. Find out what awaits the girl who acts like a dude.

Chasing Charming ✔️
Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.Complete
