"Fuck, Roxy...." Leo whispers out breathily and I let out a plead as once again the beautiful colors of orange and blue from the sunset spill over our skin. "Please don't..." I plead and he grabs onto my hands, intertwining our fingers. "I'm not gonna spend my senior year making you think that I never wanted this, Roxy. I do, and I just want you to know that." He says and I swallow. :; Leo "Jace" McClure is what you think of when you think of a popular senior jock. Everyone in the whole school knows him, the guy who has probably slept with all of the girls at the school, except for his sister's best friend Roxanne Rosinchy. But having Roxanne as his little sisters best friend and his family's prized possession comes with its problems when every time he looks at her he knows he's running out of time to tell her the truth, but also he doesn't know what the truth he has to tell her is... Roxanne "Rox/Roxy" Rosinchy has been friends with Rose since they were five, their families being pretty close. She had a perfect life before her father died two years ago.

"Your problem is that your heart is too big, it leaves you vulnerable and makes you weak." He spoke in such certainty that it brought tears to my eyes, because it was the truth. I was vulnerable and delicate, I was weak and let my guard down too much. "You put your heart on your sleeve. You are oblivious to evil and peoples capabilities because you cannot imagine a person like that, you are blinded by your good nature." "What about yours?" I asked hesitantly, trying to keep the shake out of my voice. He looked at me with confusion for a second so I continued, "What about your heart?" I questioned. He looked at me with his dark eyes, his stare like stone. "I haven't got one." ******* Angela and Adriano are like fire and ice, they are complete opposites. But what happens when Angela gets thrown into Adriano's dangerous lifestyle? Can Adriano protect her from the evils he faces every day? Or does it become too much for the innocent Angela to cope with? *Warning: There maybe be strong language in some of the chapters.* #26 in Romance 10/04 #4 in Romance 19/06 #2 in Romance 28/07 #1 in Romance 03/09
