Raegan Hunter is complicated. She's been through the worst. She has layers. She's terrified of uncertainty and change and she's made a habit in avoiding those who push her boundaries. No one bothers asking questions and that's how she likes it. That is, until James comes along. Somehow she can see past his annoying tendencies in showing up at all the right times and saying all the right things, but what sends her average life into a world of change is that he wants to get to know her. The real her. And though she's fighting it, he's so easily beginning to barrel through every wall that she's ever built. Will she push him out like the others or could this be her chance to change?

[ #1 in "Rising" Chicklit (4/10) ] "What do you want from me, Hazel?" A muscle in his strong jaw ticks, almost as though it's counting down the seconds until his emotions swallow the both of us whole. I've never met anyone like Tyler. Never met anyone who's so honest about themselves like he is. The good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful...it doesn't matter. He's an open book and that...scares me. His mere existence in my life demands that I open myself to him in the same way. He wants me to wear my heart on my sleeve, but that's how things get broken. That's how people lose themselves, and I can't let that happen again. Tyler inches towards the door, shaking his head. He's going to leave, I can tell just by the look in his eyes. He'll leave and he won't come back. My fingers latch onto the sleeve of his jacket before I can stop myself. This was supposed to be fun. This was supposed to be harmless. Why can't we go back to it just being easy? "Everything," I tell him in a hushed whisper. "I want...I want everything." (Detailed summary inside) ✖️✖️✖️ Ranking | Chicklit HR: #28 (4/22/18)
