"we fell in love the way you fall in leaves." Juwan "Rocky" Rockwell has had a pretty hard life. Between trying to find a way to fend for himself and dealing with the normal hardships of teenage angst, he had nowhere to turn as an adolescent and no time for anything other than taking care of himself. Having been set on survival rather than love itself, Juwan, now twenty-four years old, is ready for a change. He just hasn't realized it yet. Quinn Campbell, a woman accustomed to the moderately luxurious lifestyle that her parents immersed her in, has been passive all of her life. Having been torn between parents who are both demanding and have been divorced since she was nine years old, trying to find her way in the world as an adult has proven to be challenging especially since her overbearing parents have been making decisions for her since birth. One morning, on a whim, she finally decides that it's time to take control of her life. The first step is finding a change in scenery. Who ever would've thought that the second step would be becoming smitten with a man who claimed to never have had a heart? [based on "falling in leaves" from my book of one shots.]

The summer before going into one of the most important phases in her life, that being college, was just the absolute wrong time to fall in love for Atiyya. She had so much ahead of herself, so many options. I mean, Kaleb wasn't the only boy in the world. But they had known each other since birth almost and they had this connection that he and her both knew they weren't going to get from anywhere else. Kaleb had too much on his plate. Coming from a dead beat mother and an alcoholic father, he was trying to be better than the both of them could ever be and he didn't need distractions. He only wanted Atiyya's friendship, nothing more, nothing less. But as time progressed and the two rekindled their friendship after Kaleb's long hiatus, they began to realize that just maybe they wanted more. ----- I'm not gonna give some long synopsis of this book like I originally planned to.

In this story, The Light is dangerous and The Darkness is safety...

"A part of me has always wanted to be punished, to experience pain at its highest degree, and to be ripped apart in every way possible for surviving the crash. But I was stupid for not knowing the extent of that wish; for not knowing that pain isn't always sharp and fleeting, bloody and easily relived. Except, It's well-orchestrated and cunning, unexpected and permanently disabling. It's mental and emotional turmoil, Love in its darkest, ugliest of forms.... and for someone who you never thought capable of inflicting it, it is the sweetest form of revenge. They say love makes you do crazy things, but trauma--trauma is one hell of a bitch." --A.J. *********** Brown Sugar X Euphoria.
