Excerpt: "Groaning, I pushed her blindly against the wall, bumping in a shelf, shit breaking around us. Didn't care, though. I hooked her other leg around me and held her up against the wall, taking long licks with my tongue, loving her against her mouth, tasting, experiencing her, all that she was. I let her slide down on me and pressed against her, as I fitted myself to the place my body mostly needed." -Noah Noah Wilson and Amara Miller. Magnets pushing apart, pulling together. He can't stand her, but he can't take his eyes off of her. She wants to hate, him but the more he's showing parts of himself, the harder it becomes. Can they survive the mishaps and grow into accepting one another? Note: We get the story told by both characters. It's shifting between Noah and Amara. Trigger Warnings: This book contains mature themes, such as sex scenes while both parties are of age. Also, there's a sex dream seen by Noah (21 years old) with Amara (17 year old). However, while still a minor, nothing physical happens between them, other than the dream. This book is a novella. It's a first draft, so mistakes are to be expected.

For six and a half years, I'd been Orion's ol' lady. So I thought. When I went to tell him that I was, against all odds, pregnant, he informed me that I had been part of his cover for his undercover work. He didn't want me or our baby. Fine. He wasn't the only one with a secret life.

My cousin always referred to us as the bad jokes, as in...a blonde, a brunette and a redhead walk into a bar. I'm the redhead, and this is my story. When I was 18, a psychic told me to wait for the man with the scar. For five years I waited and then suddenly, there he was in front of me one night. No mistake -- this was the man. We got off to a bad start, and I just kept making things worse chasing after him. Until he let me know in no uncertain terms that he wasn't interested in me. So I gave him what he wanted and ignored him. Then he decided he wanted me. And him getting me back was the least of our problems.

Leo and I fell in love, and he loved and accepted my little girl as if he was her father. He made it 100% clear that he wanted to marry me and adopt Samantha. As if we couldn't get any happier, I got pregnant -- big surprise. Then his parents, who had adored my daughter, backed away from her since she wasn't their "real" grandchild. But it wasn't until Leo backed off from wanting to adopt my daughter that I realized maybe Leo and I weren't going to have the happily ever after we'd been planning.
