Shiver

Just a few days short of turning seventeen, Charlene Ludlow's life took an unexpected turn when she crossed paths with the charming, blue-eyed country bumpkin named Thomas Raven. This encounter was about to disrupt the orderly, privileged world she had always known. Though her father, who was on the verge of becoming mayor, had arranged a seemingly perfect suitor for her, Charlene's heart had already found its way to Tom, a rumored ladies' man who had reportedly shared his bed with almost half the town's girls. For Tom, a free spirit, this encounter brought a unfamiliar feeling – he found himself desiring Charlene's exclusive attention, nothing more or less. However, their blossoming relationship was fraught with obstacles, both external pressures from society and internal struggles they had to confront together.
