Ivana Vanessa Jameson

“Take this girl to my room. Guard the door and do not move until I get there,” he commanded him. The king wanted me locked up in his room. This was bad, really bad. I was worried about what might happen if we were alone again. Could he control himself if he was keeping me close to him?

Then You Look At Me

Tiffanyluvss

Rainey has a past she tells no one, secrets she wishes not to share. She’s viewed as the bad girl, but there’s more to her than what meets the eye. After an incident tarnishes her reputation at Freetown High, Rainey transfers to Crosshill High in hope of a fresh start. Ansel isn’t your typical bad boy. He's seen as a good guy with good grades. He’s quiet, reserved, and mysterious. But Rainey can tell that he’s not as innocent as he appears. An awkward exchange of eye contact from Rainey’s locker mirror begins a thrilling love story of two teens who find comfort in each other but struggle to overcome their secrets and scars. It’s a love story that presents a whirlwind of emotions, jealous antagonists, and obstacles that test their abilities.
