▲ ▼▲ ▼▲ ▼▲ ▼▲ ▼▲ ▼▲ ▼▲ ▼

Ever since her father passed away, seventeen-year-old Ella Cinders has escaped from the pain of losing him by focusing on her dreams-big dreams that all begin with getting out of Pepper Falls, Virginia. Ella has her heart and mind set on becoming a fashion designer... Too bad her stepmom refuses to even look at the brochures for the design schools that Ella desperately wants to attend after graduation. 

Her family and friends may not understand Ella's obsession with trading their rural town for big city life, but Ella knows that she has too much talent to waste it by working on her stepmom's horse farm forever. When she wins a free trip to New York Fashion Week, Ella sees it as the first step towards creating the future she's always wanted for herself. 

Ella might think she's ready to take on the concrete jungle, but a week in Manhattan will teach her that there's a lot about life that she doesn't knew. For starters, she's about to learn that chasing your dreams can take you on the journey of a lifetime.All Rights Reserved

When Rich Meets Poor by okayraeokay

"Or you can pay me $15,000," he gives me a second option. "Hi, my names Harper and I'm your new nanny," I extend my hand for him to shake, which he doesn't. I quickly pull my hand away. Harper Aspen was majoring in journalism/creative writing in the Big Apple at New York University. However, she was struggling financially and the situation doesn't get much better when she spills coffee on a millionaire, Connor Humphrey's, business suit. Rather than just accepting her apology, he gives her two options. She can pay him $15,000 or she can become his three year old daughter's nanny for at least four months. But, one of the requirements of being a nanny is staying at the house with the child full time. Despite Harper being a college student, she told Connor that she was not in order to not have to pay the $15,000 and get out of paying her apartments high rent fee. Leaving a three year old at home by herself is the last thing Harper wants to do, but when worst comes to worst she is running out of options. Not to mention Connor is making Harper completely fall head over heels in love. But what happens after multiple tragedies strike and many secrets are revealed, will the pair still be in love?
