My Morning Star

Adan and Eva are childhood best friends. Adan is hopelessly in love with her, but has had to bury his feelings deep and deny them as she would never settle for someone like him. Meanwhile, Eva is constantly restless, yearning for the day she can join her father’s security detail and be a real life mercenary to see distant lands. One is always getting into trouble, and the other is constantly getting pulled into the other’s messes. Will the two ever find a way to see each other for who they truly are? Or will this romance be doomed to fail before it ever begins?

This will be an ongoing full length novel that I'm working on, instead of a short story. Right now the target length is around 40k, but that can be subject to change.
*EDIT: I'm almost to 20k, and I feel like I'm only barely 1/4th of the way through the story. This story might be 60-80k now. I'll burn that bridge when I get to it.
*EDIT 2: With Chapter 9 we've officially made it halfway to my original goal! And there's still so much to write and add! :D
*EDIT 3: I decided to change the names of the twins because "Guido" and "Ada" just didn't sit right with me.
*EDIT 4: We've passed 25k for the contest, so I'll be leaving the story as is and focus on short stories again for a little bit. I'll return to My Morning Star eventually!
