Loving Your Lies

My name is Jona Montiniere, and that's pretty much the only good thing to say about me.I'm seventeen, I'm snarky, and I'm a crap-load of trouble. Or so they say... But what did they expect from me really, when they dumped me in an orphanage at age five? That I'd grow up to become the new first lady? Nah, I think it's much more fun to raid Camden Market in London with my friend Debby. She's cool. She lives on the street. I learned so much from her.The only thing she missed to teach me...

My name is Jona Montiniere, and that's pretty much the only good thing to say about me.I'm seventeen, I'm snarky, and I'm a crap-load of trouble. Or so they say... But what did they expect from me really, when they dumped me in an orphanage at age five? That I'd grow up to become the new first lady? Nah, I think it's much more fun to raid Camden Market in London with my friend Debby. She's cool. She lives on the street. I learned so much from her.The only thing she missed to teach me was how to tend to a vineyard. And yeah, that's what I'm going to do for the next 6 weeks, courtesy to this darn judge, who sent me off to France after I was caught stealing again. Fair enough, the vineyards are okay, and so are my aunt and uncle, who I haven't met up 'til now. What isn't okay, and I mean it, is that I have to live in the same house with my mother, that god-awful dragon, who spurned when I was only a child. And now she wants me back? Demands my forgiveness? Why, because she's about to die of cancer? Uh-uh. Sorry, but that's not gonna happen. I want no contact with that woman, thanks.But what's Julian got to do with all of this? About my age, he's too young to be my mother's lover. So why doesn't he leave her side? Ever. He's different, as in the supernatural kind of different, but he's sa-woon-worthy gorgeous. He obviously has secrets, but he's also get-under-my-skin charming. In short, he's a riddle to me. But he likes me, and that's the scariest thing of all. No one ever liked me. And I sure as hell won't let anyone come too close. So how did he manage to hold me in his arms after only three days?Yeah, I happened to end up in a room next door to him, and he's going to help me conquer some fears. Vertigo. Opening up to somebody. Dealing with trust and all that crap. This is his and my story. LOVING YOUR LIES.Jona Montiniere
