Résumé :
I raised my chin. I am no Thisbe, scared of a lion, I challenged.And I am no Pyramus, he confided. And, he added, leaning closer, his body casting me in shadow as a smirk twisted his lips, I am no lion... After the sudden death of her mother, all Jessie Gillmansen wants is to deal with the loss in her own time, avoiding any more life-altering changes and regaining some sense of control. Living in the slow-moving town of Junction and focusing on school and the strangeness surrounding the wolf attack in a nearby city may be her best bet - - until Pietr Rusakova moves in. Pietr is more than good looks and a fascinating accent - he's a guy with a dangerous secret whose mysterious past is about to catch up to him and turn Jessie's life upside down all over again, threatening everything she thinks she knows about life and the world she lives in. With secrets coming to light and danger closing in from all sides, time's running out for Pietr and Jessie, and it seems change is one thing Jessie definitely can't avoid. The new edition of the book which started as a serial story on TextNovel.com in 2008, won the first-ever cell phone novel contest in the Western world in 2009, and was published by St. Martin's Press in 2010 is now greatly expanded and packed with even more action, adventure, romance, and angst!...
