Description
Harleen Quinzel was a medical intern working at Arkham Asylum before her life changed forever when she became the psychiatrist for the Joker. Before the Joker intervened, she was just an ordinary girl with a dream that she was trying to fulfil, but what happened before she met the Joker? What if the Joker and Harleen knew each other before they met at Arkham Asylym? Enter Stephanie Harlem, the girl who grows up to become Harleen Quinzel and later the Joker's girlfriend: Harley Quinn. Before she was Harleen, she was just a young girl living in the richest neighbourhood of Gotham City. Daughter of the notorious Harlem family, she is the heir to Gotham City's second leading corporation: Global Incorporated. Stephanie lives an enviable life with everything she could ever dream of. That is until her parents death. Now, an orphan and more alone than ever, Stephanie is helpless to those who hope to use her and her incredible assets. Yet Stephanie is not really alone, as she is now prey to the matricidal Jerome Valeska, the ginger-haired boy who will stop at nothing until he has her for his. For Stephanie, falling in love with a psychopath was never part of the plan, and definitely not something a normal person would do. Then again Stephanie isn't what most would call normal.
