It started with fire.
Not
the kind that burns inside you and melts your heart into a mess of happy
feelings. A real one. One that rips through wood and disintegrates brick and
bone, leaving ashes and orphans in its wake.
Death
would have saved me from a rocky family life. There would be no cigarette burns
on the soles of my feet, no vicious words engraved in my mind, and no Kai
Madison. The friend who saw past the scars and offered me pennies for my
secrets. The guy who stole my heart with a single kiss in the middle of a rose
garden on a snowy winter.
Nothing
would have been easier to leave behind—to vanish from—but for the past four
years, I've been isolated from the world, living in a hospital room and helping
the Feds build a case against my foster-dad. Now I'm free and willing to risk
my life to see him again.
There's
only one problem. I'm no longer imperfect. I have the same heart, but a
different face.

“You know you can tell me
anything, right?”
“What do I have to tell?” My body
aches in protest, reminding me of the many secrets hidden just underneath the
layers of cloth, and the many more beneath the layers of skin. What good does
voicing truths do? A shared burden is still heavy, and I like feeling
weightless in his presence.
“Everything…” He slips closer,
breaths landing on my trembling lips. His thick blond lashes flutter, and in
that same exact instant, our lips touch. And touch again.
Silk and smooth. Like melting ice.
They glide over mine, as though
one year of life has blessed him with skill, my inexperience clearly evident in
my ragged breaths. But he doesn’t seem to mind. When he tears his lips from
mine, his hand falls to my chin, and he tilts it upward to face him. “You’re so
different, Thorn.” Hovering his lips a couple inches away from mine, he
whispers, “Be careful with the Del Rios. They aren’t who you think they are.”
About
Sona
Sonya’s a nerd—a cool nerd—who loves science,
books, make-up and unicorns. She even has unicorn slippers and unicorn plushes
adorn her office. It’s not obsession (or so she says), it’s simply an ode to
her imaginative side.
She believes in fairytales and in the beautiful
things a mind can conjure. She’s a firm believer of empowering the crazy
fictional ideas, putting them down on paper (figurative paper because she’s not
a fan of writing in notebooks), and letting them flourish into a story.
Sometimes that story is about psychos and murders.
Don’t believe me? Ask her in any of her social
media. She’s all about those connections.
“There’s so much potential in a dream, not
exploring it seems like such a waste of something absolutely beautiful.”
Once upon a kiss, a modern romance becomes a
fairytale.
The
prestigious Camelot University comes fully equipped with elitist guys, a
castle, and a Glass Ball, but these self-proclaimed princesses don’t need
crowns to prove their worth. They’ve taken love and life into their own hands
and written their own fairytale.
Follow
seven of your favorite fairytale heroines as they find their happily ever
after, in these standalone,
contemporary romance novels. The ladies of Cam U are a dangerous combination of
cute and badass, full of attitude and imperfections, and an innocence only
fairytales can convey.
