Work hard, play hard, protect what you love at all costs... For Eamon and Rachel, friendship has always had to be good enough. A safe distance, a guarded heart, nothing more. When Eamon's brother, Tobin, takes off after a nasty breakup, Eamon needs Rachel to help find him. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to keep the lines of friendship from blurring when they both want something more. When Tobin returns, what was supposed to be a celebratory weekend for Eamon and Rachel, somehow, turns into much more. And as scary as it is, neither one of them know how to let it go. Maybe the answer is that they shouldn't... Or maybe their destiny was decided long before they even met. ~~~ Content Warning The story you are about to read is intended for mature readers due to its sexual content and language.

Tyson Williams has demons to battle with. Growing up in a run-down neighborhood, he learned to rely only on himself. The sole person he enjoys talking to is his childhood friend Angel; everybody else he simply disregards. That is until he runs into a cocky foreign brunette, whose provocative attitude makes it impossible for him to ignore her. Having a bad reputation can get you into a lot of trouble with your parents. Having a bad reputation when your father is a politician and constantly under the paparazzi's watchful eyes can make it ever worse.

Dispossessing her is not a first for them, but this time Alex doesn't mind; this time she's all too happy to leave a certain someone behind and start anew. So she makes a decision: she'd mend her wild ways and try to be a good girl... or at least some semblance of that term. But how is she to follow through with her resolution when she's constantly being challenged by one of her new classmates? **** • Best rating for this story so far: Humor #18, Teen Fiction #29 • Completed • Draft • Proofread • © 2018 Dilyana Kyoseva (CatMint5) All Rights Reserved
