Not that much to say about me except that I am a trans woman, a troublemaker too, and... I also speak French. I am also in a partnership with the woman of my life, and, well, it's been eight years that I am working on that series, "Free Expensive Lies", already. Darn, eight years already...Please check on my website https://www.taylorhardingjenkins.co.uk so you can follow my updates, my blog and/or my new publications Once upon a time, in Paris, was living a girl named Charlotte Kominsky. Everybody thought that, besides her beautiful blue eyes, her fabulous silhouette, and her long blonde hair, she was a lovely girl. But they were all wrong. No, Charlotte is evil, misanthropic, selfish and has only respect for herself... Oh, and, obviously, not to mention her special skill: the fact that she has a photographic memory, helped her to develop her skills in psychology, and as a result of this, she became a master manipulator.Until that day. Her ex-girlfriend, with whom she broke up for the past few months now, changed. So, people change, indeed, but Claire, no, she didn't change in a good way. There was something definitely wrong with her. Of course, as long as it didn't affect her life, Charlotte just ignored it, after all, SHE decided to break up with her, so SHE sorts out her own mess. Indeed, Charlotte managed to mend all the broken pieces and go through everything, yet it wasn't easy, but she tries to forget. Of course, this was, until... Someone tells her that Claire accidentally fell into a sex-trafficking ring, and, now, more than ever, she needs her help.
