Some girls like to play dress up; they want to be a princess or a firefighter. I guess I grew into that phase. Only now, I dress up to hide or maybe to be free. I didn't have a normal childhood. I was the freak, the nerd that never fit, even in my own family. I once tried to be invisible, that was a grave mistake. Now, I am stronger. I spend most of the daylight hours as a lawyer challenging the legal international world one corporation at a time. In the evenings, well, that's where my life gets more colorful. I have the honor of playing guitar with a hard rock band that's slowly making a name for itself in the music community and I may or may not participate in unsanctioned MMA fights. Although my life sounds complicated, I had things steadily on course. A solid mind, a healthy body, a soul saturated with glorious melodies, and more Alpha men than I know what to do with. It isn't until a board room table brought me face to face with the man that would eventually change the trajectory of my life. Does my story end with the words "Happily ever after"? Do I look like a Disney character to you? Sometimes life doesn't work out the way we have planned. Sometimes you get knocked down on your butt so many times that it gets hard to keep getting up and dusting yourself off. My story is infinite, most still unwritten. Here's just a few chapters of the world of me. The words may be smudged, the pages may be water logged, but in the end this is all of me.
About the Author: Never one to follow the rules, I always did things the hard way. Why go to school on your parent's dime, when it's so much more fun to do double duty as student/ parent and graduate in your late twenties? Why have 2.5 kids, when you can have 4? Why be the typical stay at home mom, when you can be the pierced, tatted PTSO President? And the list of conundrums goes on and on. But it wasn't my story that I found inspiration from; it was every story. Every story that I read over the last two years made an impact. I fell in love with the writings of sexy Alpha Bikers, of the wicked CEO's, the shape shifters, the wild Rockers and yes, even the brawlers. I wanted to bring to life a heroine that encompasses all the strength, the wealth, the deceptiveness as any of those Alphas we readers claim as our BBF (Book Boy Boyfriend for those of you new to this world). And much like our beloved Alphas, Charlie too, is in need of salvation. Her carefully composed and categorized life is about to take a spill. The question is, how far will she bend for those she loves? How far do any of us really change for our loved ones? And more importantly, is it the right move?
