They say that the finer things in life are the ones that leave a bittersweet after taste...

Note: It's an old story I made three years ago and posted in an old account of mine at another writing site.

“Just because the main character in a film or in a book says ‘I love you’ doesn’t make it a romantic love story.”Avalon “Ave” Georgine Ainsley Lange, romantic-cynic

MEET AVE

Ave Michaels is a high school student and resident rebel by day.But secretly, she goes by  Lane Maxwell, aspiring writer and soon-to-be the youngest bestselling author of one of the country's biggest publishing house. That is, if she gets the job.

THE JOB: WRITING A ROMANCE NOVEL

If there was one thing Ave knows best, it's how to avoid heartbreaks and other relationship dramas. She even made a rule out of it - one that had saved her countless times. The DITCH rule.

Can a cynical commitment-phobe who had never fallen in love write a romance novel worthy of recognition?Who knows.But then again, inspiration comes in unexpected ways - including from three drop-dead gorgeous surprises!

All of a sudden, she finds herself questioning everything in her life, every decision she ever made so far – including her rule.

Could her DITCH rule really be as heartbreak-proof as she thought it was?  Or was it the thing keeping her from letting herself fall in love and getting the guy?

Warning: Slow updates. Occasional re-editing. Some profane language. Mature-ish scenes.

All characters in this book including their town are all works of fiction.
