Needing an escape from
her past, Avery chooses a college where no one knows her. Keeping a low
profile was the plan, falling for the intense frat boy, Jase wasn’t. Yet
she can’t deny how alive she feels when he’s near. Even as common sense
implores her to stay away, her body begs her to get closer.
Jase,
numb from his own family drama, has grown bored with weekends fueled by
nameless girls and countless bottles when he meets Avery. Helping her
cope with her past is better than dealing with the bullshit his own
life’s served up. Determined to drive away the painful secret she’s
guarding, he appoints himself her life coach, and challenges her to new
experiences. Getting close to her and being the one to make her smile
are simply perks of the job.
But when Avery’s past boldly saunters in, refusing to be forgotten, can Jase live with the truth about the girl he’s fallen for?

I may not have special
powers, but sometimes I think I'm invisible. No one in my high school
seems to notice me at all. When they finally do it's because the popular
Tripp Bauer accidently smacks me in the face with a wad of paper. Talk
about humiliating.
Only now he keeps talking to me.
At
first it was to apologize, and I figured once I forgave him he'd go
away. But he doesn't, and now my feelings for him are starting to grow.
And that scares me. Guys like Tripp Bauer don't fall for girls like me.
Or do they?

I can’t remember the
last time I felt completely safe. Security seemed more like a luxury to
me, reserved for those who were fortunate enough to have picture perfect
childhoods. For those who didn’t bear the ugly scars that keep me bound
in constant, debilitating fear. I’ve run from that fear my entire life.
But when I met him, for once, I couldn’t run anymore.
He scared
the hell out of me in a way that excited every fiber of my being. It
wasn’t the tattoos or the piercings. It wasn’t the warmth that seemed to
radiate from his frame and blanket me whenever he was near. It was
just…him. The scary beautiful man that threatened to alter 23 years of
routine and rituals, and make me face my crippling fear.
My name is Kami and I am constantly afraid. And the thing that scares me the most is the very thing I want.

In one
night my fairytale ended. Or it may have begun. This is my story of
friendship and love, heartbreak and desire, and the strength to show
weakness.
*Jake*
One night I met a girl. A sad and broken
girl, but one more beautiful than any other. She laughed through her
sadness, while I loved through her heartbreak.
*This is our story of a maybe ever after.*
"He was right. It made no difference whether it was 6 months or 6 years.
I couldn’t undo what had been done. I couldn’t change the future. I couldn’t even predict it.
It was one night. One night when everything changed. It was so much more than just the betrayal.
It was the tragedy. The deaths. The Murders. But it was also that feeling. That feeling of falling."

great friends, and her life back. All she has to do is jump over the
last hurdle…her ex-husband.

fear her new life, and memories that are better left forgotten start
rushing to the surface the last thing she needs is a ghost from her past
to come knocking on her door.

into the eyes of Isabelle West again, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to
now. He’s carried his anger for so long he isn’t sure he can just turn
it off, but when he is faced with protecting her and an unexpected
desire to have her again, life gets a little more complicated.

and everything they thought was true blows up in their faces?
