Aubrey Wilson has the heart of an angel. As the type of person to always trust in others, she's admirable to peers. A total darling, but with a sadness that encases her heart. Anyone could shrink down in fright at the receiving end of Luke Taylor's infamous glare. Tall, muscular, dark-haired, and handsome, he's no stranger on or off the field. Not a kind stranger either. A total brooding asshole, but with a sadness that encases his heart. --- "You didn't have to hit him or anything," I lie my head on his broad, strong shoulder. "He shouldn't have touched you like that," he tucks a curl behind my ear. ~Strong Language~ ~Mild Violence~

Lilianna Grace Welt is a sweetheart. She has had a rough past, making her seem closed off, but in reality when Lily and Cole are together, you would rethink that. Lily would much rather have her face shoved in a book or be listening to Taylor Swift than interact with people... well other than her best friend, Cole. Born and raised in the small town that is Solvang, California, Lilianna was tired of seeing the same old faces. She wanted a friend next door, instead she got stuck growing up on a cul-de-sac with cranky old people. Until one day seven years ago when her best friend Colson Miller moved next door, and all her wishes came true. Colson Kane Miller is a ladies man. Always has been, always will be. After moving from Texas to California at the age of nine and meeting his best friend who lives next door, Lilianna Welt, Cole is captain of the football team, but nonetheless still makes time for his best friend. They've been best friends forever. But that's all they are, and all they'll ever be. Right...?
