Start the Assumption Series with book 1 – Broken
A girl’s senior year in high school should be a special
time. Ayma’s expectations are not very high. She is the daughter of a
control-freak mother and a father who has been absent for the past three years.
She is ridiculed by the popular kids in school because of her unfortunate name
and the way she dresses. Although she’s nearly eighteen, her mother controls
every aspect of her life, including what she wears, who her friends are and
even what foods she is allowed to eat. The only bright spot in her life is her
friend Tabby. Until she meets Colton.
Colton is unexpected. He’s gorgeous, popular – the guy all
the girls want and the one all of the other guys want to be like. When he
begins to pay attention to Ayma, she doesn’t know what to think. Things like
this just don’t happen to girls like her. One obstacle after another is thrown
into their path, but they can’t deny what they feel for one another. Their
new-found love will be threatened by secrets from their past, challenges in
their present and a future they can only dream about. Ayma struggles to find an
identity apart from her mother’s controlling nature while Colton faces the
results of an arrest that took place the summer before his tenth grade year.
Can they find love and happiness? Or will they be destroyed
by events beyond their control?
Broken: Assumption Series Book One
“Ayma! Ayma!"
Even in my sleep I heard my mother calling me. I hope she
knows she just ruined a great dream. It’s not every day I can get the guys from
One Direction to fight over me. Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?
Let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Ayma
Kuntz. Go ahead, get it all out of your system. I’ve heard all of the comments
before.
For those of you who don't get the innuendo of my name, my
parents wanted to play a cruel joke on me or obviously didn't think this one
through. My first name is Ayma (pronounced Ima) last name Kuntz; where the z is
silent. Don't know why the z is put there in the first place, it’s so lame.
Anyway, you get the picture, right?
Flashback to first day of public middle school:
I begged my mother to let me go to the public school. I went
to private school all through elementary and just didn't fit in with all those
kids. I was so excited when she finally gave in. I went to my first class and
the teacher asked me my name. Of course being from a highly prestigious
elementary school we didn't use any kind of bad language or slang words. I
proudly told her my name, Ayma Kuntz. Her eyes just about popped out of her
head when I said that. The whole class burst into a laughing fit. This was so
not how I wanted my first day of public school to be, so I took off running out
the door. I didn't know where I was going, so I just stopped at the end of the
hallway. A girl I didn't know, who is now my best friend, Tabby, came up to me
to see if I was okay. She told me she was from the class I’d just left and did
I know what everyone was laughing about. I shook my head no. I had no idea what
they thought was so funny. So, Tabby went on to explain about the slang word
for a girl's private part and how my name kinda sounds like 'I'm a cunt' when I
say it.
Well, there went my whole existence at this school
