It's 1939, and the world is at the precipice of war.  But life for one young man in rural America couldn't be better.  Jonathon Blackwell is the eldest son of the most powerful family in town and heir to Blackwell Iron and Mining.  Unlike many who struggled to survive the final years of the Great Depression, he has everything he could ever want - except the one thing he desires most.

Sheltered by class, privilege, and living inside a locked iron fence meant to protect him, no one could ever imagine anything terrible could happen to him, but dark times are coming.  Fate is about to play it's cruel hand, and when it's all over, the world, the country, and young Jonathon will be changed forever.

The much anticipated prequel to the 2014 Watty award winning and Wattpad featured story, The Boy in the Woods!   This is Jonathon's story, and it just may break your heart...

Best Ranking:
Historical Fiction #4

Note:  Even though this story takes place before  events in The Boy in the Woods, it's intended to be read AFTER because it wraps up the last of the mysteries of that story.   A gentle warning - many spoilers and much confusion lie ahead if you decide to start with this one.  :)

It isn't difficult to fall for a boy who is a natural charmer, complimented with a set of intimidating eyes and sunkissed smile...and especially if he is every girl's 'dream boy' in the college. The boy who tempts every girl's attention just by existing and looking hot. That someone, who knows the power he holds, and is not afraid to seduce his way, into and out of a given situation. He is seen with a new girl every day, mostly horny girls with an hourglass figure. That was his type. On the other hand, a girl, who expects more than a seductive personality. Who is more than just another flower in his garden, already burdened under the shackles of of harsh sunlight and cold nights. Mostly someone who hasn't felt any warmth of the spring...never has once felt what love is. The story of a girl, striving hard to make her way out of the shallowness of this society that was trying to push her down everytime she has her head held high. Do you think she will meet the love of her life? Or will this flower remain untouched by the bliss of love? Busy fighting against the battles of her life. Take a peek into another world of romance of a college boy and a timid yet unapologetically bold school girl.

Emma can't wait to get to college and leave all of her bitter high school memories behind. Especially the one who broke her heart and made the rest of her high school life hell. She hopes that college will provide her with a fresh start and an opportunity to find love again. As she prepares to move on and start anew, she discovers that the guy she meant to forget is at the same college! Is college going to be like high school all over again? Will she be able to learn from her mistakes and protect her heart this time around? Emma must make a tough decision: allow him to reenter her life with the possibility of breaking her heart again, or take the opportunity to start afresh and find new love. She must decide if staying the same or taking a chance on something new is the right choice for her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This story was originally a 1D fanfiction uploaded in wattpad year 2015 with 13 Chapters. Now, I'm editing it, revising some of the names (as well as the scenes and most of the chapters) so it will fall under the category of young adult romance instead of fanfiction. The reason for doing this is for publication purposes in the future. Feel free to imagine the same characters from the original, or think of someone you liked. Louis, Harry, Zayn, Niall, and Liam will always have a special place in my heart. But for inspiration purposes, I now imagine my BTS boys for this story, particularly JK and V!
