"That's exactly how I told you not to do it," Asher groaned from his seat beside me. "You're never going to win her over that way." I rolled my eyes, ground the rose petals between my fingers and kept my eyes on the chandelier so I wasn't glaring at the dance floor. "Who say's I'm trying to win her over?" "Well you obviously wouldn't have fucked up so much if you weren't trying." --- Evan Reed was a force to be reckoned with. A jerk with a smile that could leave you breathless, a gaze that could send your heart racing with equal parts fear and equal parts thrill, and a record sheet that could send your mother crying--the last thing Vegas wanted was to get involved with him. But when she's suddenly thrust into a whole new situation she wasn't ready for, she didn't have a choice but to depend on the one guy who could get her out of it. And that of course was the badass she never, ever wanted to fall for.

"alice?" he whispered, his voice nervous. "yeah?" she replied absent mindedly, stirring the coffee in the dark red cup with her spoon. "i love you," he said. an uncomfortable silence filled the air. "i love you, alice," he repeated, looking at her. her head was bent as she spooned the cream and only strands of her ginger hair hung from the sides of her face. "okay," she replied.

IMPORTANT: Destined Love is currently being edited before the continuation and eventual completion. The old chapters are all still available, but please be aware that what you are reading now will not be the final copy and is subject to change. Thank you for your patience and support. Delinquent Kade Trevino has had a rough life and learned to only trust number one. Cutting off most of his emotions, he creates a careless attitude towards everyone and everything-mess with him and you probably won't ever have a normal life again. He has the power to do what he wants, whenever he wants, without any regard for how his actions affect other people. But this path he has chosen soon comes to a standstill when an accident takes places, ending Kade's life temporarily. He is sent into a world he never believed in and into a new life he previously never had the chance to accomplish. He is given the option to start fresh...But there's a catch: his soul mate. There is no right or wrong answer as to whether or not soul mates exist, but with this second chance, Kade will make an incredible discovery, whether he chooses to believe it or not. Difficult choices will be made, true love will be found, but can Kade leave the past in the past and break through his impassive outlook on life? In the end, it all comes down to the decisions Kade makes, and if he can overcome his hatred for the emotion of Love. Nothing in life comes at an easy price. And sometimes...Love can't conquer all.

“I only see everyone as an equation,” he explains to me, “a sort of…problem that needs figuring out.” “So have you figured me out yet? Have you found the answer?” “No…not yet.” “Maybe you can’t figure people out, then,” I interject, “Or maybe you won’t, because you only use your head. And you never use your heart.” He smirks. “I thought they said I didn’t have one.” -- Eccentric, erratic, and ambitious, Valentine “Val” Gallagher has been bored her entire life. After all, the most exciting thing that has ever happened in her small seaside town of Seashire was when some massive snowstorm hit the previous winter. Desperate to leave behind a mundane life here, she fantasizes about making it big with her gift for singing in the big city. After all, having never known her real parents and with only one person in the world she can truly call her friend, there would be hardly anyone holding her back from leaving. Until he happened. Tall, insanely intelligent and with an awful smoking habit, Matthias Stahl moves to Seashire and into Val’s life. All at once, they discover that they’re polar opposites: she fierce and passionate, him detached and heartless, …and they absolutely hate each other. But if Val is supposed to despise him, how has he become her anchor, the only thing holding her here? -- It is always winter for Matthias, empty and cold…but ice can melt, can’t it?
