Isabelle Clark always had ideas, but that’s all
they ever were . . . until now. She grew up in a world filled with poverty and
hatred from the person who gave birth to her and had decided she would finally
make her ideas a reality. After moving away to college as a junior she ran into
the
Maddox Mitchell was every girl’s wet dream all
in one muscled, tattooed, pierced, baseball playing package. He thought he had
the life: going to school, tattooing people by day, and giving girls the best
orgasms of their life by night. When he found out that Financial Aid didn’t
fully cover Isabelle’s room and board Maddox had an idea: Isabelle should move
in with him.
On the outside everybody sees Isabelle as a
quiet bookworm and Maddox as a player, both on and off the baseball diamond.
They soon learn who the other truly is. Either way, they’re about to realize
this idea was a beautiful one.

I wasn't dealt the best hand in life. My mom was a junkie and my dad
bailed when he found out she was pregnant with me. I liked to refer to him as
"the sperm donor," and ever since then Cynthia has loathed me.
Children’s Services stepped in a couple of times and every time I was placed
back into the "stable environment" of a crackhead alcoholic.
Huh, some legal system we have?
There were days and sometimes weeks when we didn't have electricity or
sewage and I have been on food stamps for as long as I can remember. Let me
just say that whoever invented powdered milk is a complete and total
basket-case!
Anyway, Cynthia decided I was going to be her only mistake. So while
there are families out there with numerous kids, I was all by myself. We were
dirt poor so I couldn’t really do much and in high school I kind of kept to
myself. Sure, I had a few friends here or there, but nothing lasted. They were
never interested in sticking around. Plus, while kids were ditching class and
getting drunk on the weekends, I was more interested in my books and steering
clear of Cynthia’s wrath.
So while most teenagers were sucking face I had my head in the clouds or
in a book. I'm an avid reader and when I read I escape. The point to reading
and watching movies are to escape your shitty, fucked up life for just a few
hours. That was why, on the rare occasions when I did get to see a movie and it
sucked big time, I made a point to complain until I got a refund. I didn’t care
that the girls were from my school and would make fun of me the following
Monday morning. But anyway, back to why I read. I liked to think I was the
leading lady getting the Happily Ever After.
My head was always filled with ideas and possibilities, but that's all
they ever were. I decided a change was in order and I was going to make my
dreams a reality. If you haven’t figured it out yet then you are a complete
bonehead. I, Isabelle Katherine Clark, Iz for short, want to be an author.
I wanted to write about everyday people who live extraordinary lives.
No, not like meeting a billionaire, but meeting a regular guy and falling in
love, having the white picket fence, and 2.5 kids. I might throw in a serial
killer to spice it up a bit, but you catch my drift.
We needed to get back to the times of Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy or
Tristan and Isolde. Where you felt that life altering, ground breaking,
universe shifting true love. The simplicity of it that made me wonder if that
could happen in real life. The events of my life up to that point had given me
the answer. That no, it couldn’t.
Unfortunately, our stories and the paths we choose aren’t written by
authors who sit behind a computer desk and have all the time in the world to
calculate the perfect words for answering a question or how we’re going to
throw ourselves at who we think is the love of our life. Nope.
We get one chance and that one chance can make or break us. Turn our
event into enchantment or one of tragedy. Either tears are shed or the sounds
of laughter fill a room.
We aren’t able to click backspace or delete. That’s the beauty of real
life; good or bad we live in the moment.
When
I’m not writing future books in The
Beautiful Series, as well as coming up with ideas for standalones I am
buying every single Young Adult novel there is out there in the hopes to read
them in the future. I am also currently
working towards a major in Liberal Arts where I had planned on writing about
real life – real people in real situations.
Although that all changed over Christmas Break of 2012 when I got the
idea for A Beautiful idea and that
part became Chapter 16. I guess the best
things in life really do come from the unexpected and I now know what I want to
do for the rest of mine. In my spare
time I have a part-time job and I take care of my little barking girl Annabelle
Leigh. I love listening to music of all
genres and I love going to the movies, as well as the mall. Come on?
I’m a girl!
