Last Summer left Amara a cynic of love. Entwined in its branches once, twice is too big a risk. Zachary Bradshaw walked out once, her heart is too fragile for a second. Amara Ruiz thought she'd moved on. Last summer was a mistake wrapped in silk sheets and silence - a man who vanished before morning and left her with songs she couldn't stop writing. But once an opportunity opens itself up to her, she must take it. However, she starts to realise the dire consequences of playing with fate. She's almost certain she can come out unscathed, until she sees him. The guy who left her in the morning, never to be seen again. Zachary Bradshaw doesn't slow down - not on track, not in life. But the girl from that night? She's the one thing he didn't know he never outran. Now, a year later, her songs echo with his name. His memories of her are burned too vividly into his skin. And standing in front of her again? It's like the air rearranges itself. Yet, she looks at him like he's just another risk she can't afford to take. But this time - He's here to love her right.

He ground his hips onto her core and tightened his grip both on her neck and her thigh. "They're not going to find out. Like how no one's going to find out about us. Are they?" He growled into her ear. Courtney rubbed the hand that was around her neck and the grip softened. She leaned up to place a slow kiss on his jaw, "Of course not." ••• This story takes place exactly where you think. The crème de la crème of adolescents.

My heart was pounding in my chest so hard that I thought it was going to rip out any minute now as I stared back at the man I thought I had once loved with all my heart. Pain burst through me. He still looked the same except his gorgeous blue eyes that once held a mischief glint in them now were dark and empty. "Jordan...Jordan Raine," Jason breathed, "all these years I've been searching for you and now here you are..." I gulped and tightened my grip on Ariel's small hand as he took in my features and then his eyes slowly travelled down to the little girl who was eating her ice-cream as if nothing was wrong. I needed to get out of here before this volcano erupts. "Look it was nice seeing you again Jason, but I've got somewhere to be-" I was cut off as arms wrapped around my waist and I was pulled back into a hard chest, "Baby, there is no chance I am letting you go this time, I've searched too hard and long for you." Jordan Raine's life was as normal as any university student's life could get until a man with blue piercing eyes comes waltzing into her life or more like classroom and turns her average life into a screaming roller coaster ride and then all of a sudden the rails are breaking and she's flying off head first into the ground. They say love only happens once but what if the first time was because fate was being a moody bitch on her period? Warning: Rated R for language and sexual content.
