The arrival of a red carriage to the Templeton household, signals the imminent end of a peaceful time and the beginning of a more tumultuous one. All Charlotte remembers of her cousin Louis is how he used to pick on her and call her names. So when Charlotte hears the news that Louis and his mother are coming to stay for an unforeseeable period of time, she is not very pleased. Needless to say, she is not looking forwards to Louis' objectionable nature and her constant attempts to appease his mother who, in comparison, was not of any improvement. Charlotte tries to put him out of her mind and focus on her courtship with the delightfully handsome James but how can she ignore Louis when all he manages to do is leave chaos in her wake. Even though her contempt for Louis continues to grow, she starts to feels something else. An overwhelmingly, unrecognizable feeling bubbling just underneath the surface and it's beginning to take control.
*Note: Do not be alarmed! This is a period piece based in 1900s England where relationships between cousins were commonplace.* I felt like I had to put a disclaimer because someone mentioned they thought it was weird. 🤷🏾😊

Full Throttle
I've made it out of that nightmare I used to call home. The last person my parents had entrusted with my safety was a lie. The man I was being married off too turned out to be a ruthless monster. Escape was my only choice if I was going to come out alive. Now, I'm hundreds of miles away from the only home I knew. Living in a car, scraping by. Enduring what I was afraid of to begin with. A rich girl like me was not meant for the streets. But I'll be damned if they drag me down. If it means survival from here on out to keep me away from the hands of my own family so be it. But the universe seemed to have a different plan for me. One with three men, 3 bikes and a load of baggage they are not ready to deal with. Protecting myself is a priority, especially with the life that is growing inside of me. Distance is key, survival is crucial and staying the hell away from these men is detrimental. They've got no idea the hell that is me, Juniper Vanderbilt.

Fast-forward a few years, where grown-up Henry and Helene meet again, but Helene must battle her ever growing feelings for him. As she stays as a guest at Henry's families residence, she is unwittingly submerged into the middle of family drama, tragedy, and love. Will Helene be able to overcome her social position, shyness and rank and follow her heart, or simply conform to what is expected of her? ~Dedicated to my grandma, who recently passed away but was the best story teller I knew~ UPDATE: I wrote this book a few years ago on a whim, and also to help distract me from the grief of losing my grandma. As such, it is very unedited! I am leaving it up because it was my first book on Wattpad, and came straight from my heart. I don't really plan on editing it so I am sorry if you notice any errors/holes/mistakes, but hope you can enjoy it in its very rough and unpolished form nonetheless :-)Complete
