When Cambria Nickson impulsively packs up her entire life and moves across the country to a town called Pine Hills, she meets Jackson Harding, and the two become fast friends. Jackson feels inexplicably familiar to her, and they forge a close and undeniable kinship. Very quickly, he becomes the most integral person in Cambria's life, and she soon realizes the rarity of their bond. But, as is often the case with male/female friendships, the lines blur and complications arise. Cambria soon finds herself questioning everything between her and Jackson. In an attempt to quell her conflicting feelings, Cambria concludes she must fall in love with someone else---a tangible way to test the depth and nature of her heart. If her feelings for Jackson went away, she'd be safe, the whole thing chalked up to a misunderstanding. However, if she fell in love with someone else and these feelings for Jackson persisted... well, then she'd be doomed. As Cambria tests the boundaries of love and loyalty, every choice propels her toward heartbreak, betrayal, and unpredictable, life altering circumstances she could have never anticipated. What she discovers along the way challenges everything she thought she knew about love---and herself. And in the end, she must make a decision: follow her head, or surrender to her heart, knowing whichever path she chooses comes at a cost. During her time in Pine Hills, Cambria makes lasting memories---and plenty of mistakes. She loves and she loses. She betrays and gets betrayed. She discovers herself, countless times, and must decide who she wants to be. CAMBRIA is a story about growing up, the choices that define us, and the love we find along the way. And remember---it may look like one, but make no mistake: this is not a love story.

|STEAMY ROMANCE| 18+ "Oh, how bad I want to corrupt you, ruin you. But you're not ready for that." As much as I want her beneath me, writhing, begging me to stop. There is a time and a place for all that, which now is not the time nor place. A blush forms on her cheeks as she looks away. I put my finger under her chin and gently lift her face. "Look at me, my love. I want to see those beautiful cherry cheeks of yours." I love how responsive she is to me. Seeing her blush and shy away from me is one of my favorite things about her. "Stop, Ansel," she giggled. "You can't just say things like that and expect me to remain unfazed". I find it amusing that she is completely unaware of the power she has over me. God, if we didn't have to leave, I would've shown her what she does to me. "I'm not going to apologize, my love. You make me want to give you the world, yet corrupt that innocent aura you have. Let's go, darling, we are going to be late." I take her hand and guide her to the passenger side of the door, opening it, allowing her to climb into the car. Walking to the drivers' side, I get in making sure she is buckled, before buckling myself. Once I see her buckled, I start the car, putting my hand on her thigh. When Emory Miller attracts Ansel Dubois' attention, things are destined to happen.
