Taylor West is the epitome of self-reliance. Or she must be. Relationships are fickle. Despite finally enrolling in her dream studies and thriving in them, her social life is only skin-deep. When she finds out that her so-called boyfriend is a selfish cheater, her chronic condition flares up again. Walking around as if somebody had thrown itching powder all over you is not fun. Due to the mental strain, Taylor resorts to medication - but pills can only do so much. If that wasn't bad enough, she keeps running into Killian, whose annoying ways are starting to get under her skin. When a mysterious stalker shows up and things take a dangerous turn, Killian's help might be exactly what she needs.

For Kevin Matthews, running has always been his therapy, a moment where the only problem that existed was crossing the finish line before anyone else. After suffering a injury right before state championships last year, he aims to not only make his mark on his first major appearance but do well enough to make Nationals. Heck, he aims to leave the track smoking at Nationals. However, when off the track issues start to resurface and new friends are made, will he be able to stay focused or will his form falter?

In the 1970s, AJ McIntyre's Alaskan vacation home was attacked in the middle of the night. His parents and sister were killed, and the house was set on fire. Fortunately, he managed to save his youngest sister, Montana, but at the expense of his own salvation when he was taken away by the perpetrators for a long night of torture. Two weeks later, AJ was rescued from near the Alaskan-Canadian border, barely alive, and his family spent months nursing him back to health. However, the attack had caused more damage to him than he could ever fathom. And now, he is out for payback. --------------------------- I had this story in my mind for a very long time and I'm glad that I'm finally able to share it with you.
