Chapter one

In front of the Jaguar's hood, a gaping girl stood stupefied. Her hair, already a mess, was wind blown on her ivory skin from the car's stop. Her glasses were starting to fall down her slim nose. The deep blue eyes set in her wide face were ogling, and the full lips of her mouth hung open.
