My name is Carter Reynolds. I was born a bastard and I'll die a bastard. I learnt it at a young age, and nothing and nobody can change that. I'm on a one-way path of destruction, and God help anyone who gets in my way.

That's until I meet the kid next door, Indi-freakin'-ana. My dislike for her is instant. From the moment I lay eyes on her, she ignites something within me. It freaks me the hell out. She's like sunshine and rainbows in my world of gloom and doom.

I'm Indiana Montgomery. My friends call me Indi. Despite losing my mum at the age of six, I have a wonderful life. My dad more than makes up for the fact that I only have one parent. I'm his little girl, the centre of his world.

When Carter Reynolds moves in next door, things take a turn for the worse. He's gorgeous, sinfully hot, but he seems hell-bent on making my life miserable. He acts tough, but when I look into his eyes I don't see it. I see hurt and pain. I'm drawn to him for some reason. Whether he likes it or not, I refuse to give up on him.

Spanning eight years, this is the love story of Carter and Indiana, by Australia's favourite new romance author, J.L. Perry.

About the Author

J. L. Perry is a mother and a wife. She was born in Sydney, Australia in 1972, and has lived there her whole life. Her love of reading, from a young age, gave her the passion to write. MY DESTINY was originally written for her sister, in 2013. It was never intended to be published. However, after finishing this book, she felt there was still a lot of Brooke and Logan's story left to tell. This inspired her to write MY FOREVER. With the encouragement of her family and friends, she decided to follow her dream and become a published author.

That dream was realised on the 6 June 2014.

MY DESTINY is her debut novel in the Destiny Series. MY FOREVER is the conclusion to this book. Her third book, DAMAGED - JACINTA'S STORY, was released in October 2014. This is a standalone read, but is based on a character in MY FOREVER. Her fourth book, AGAINST ALL ODDS, is also a standalone read. It is based on Brooke and Logan's daughter, Angel. It was released in May 2015. BASTARD, her fifth book, was published in September 2015, and is followed by LUCKIEST BASTARD. HOOKER is publishing in June 2016, followed by JAX in December 2016. J. L. is currently writing NINETEEN LETTERS, which is publishing in 2017.

J. L.'s love of romance and happy endings makes a perfect combination when it comes to writing her beautiful love stories.

Her hobbies include reading, writing, drinking wine, shopping, listening to music, cake decorating and anything artistic or creative. She loves spending time with her family, friends and pets when she isn't writing. She also loves being outdoors and travelling and exploring the world.

J. L. Perry would love to hear from you. You can contact her on Facebook and @JLPerryAuthor.
