"Please . . . don't cry. You had to have known I'd do this at some point." *** Parker Sims is the class clown but that doesn't mean he's easy to fool. And that's just what Nola B. is good at - fooling people. She's got the whole school believing that her scars, bruises, and broken bones are from being clumsy. However, Parker sees through the lies. He knows there's another reason why she flinches at the touch of other people, the way she's alert and watchful, how she wears long sleeves (even in the middle of the summer), or even the way she keeps losing weight, staggering to an unhealthy size. Parker saw all the signs; it killed him from the inside out to know what she was going through. So, he called the cops and reported his suspension that Nola was being abused. That was a total joke, he found out... Parker thought of everything in the book but each attempt, to get someone to notice she was being abused, failed - epically. He'd no other options . . . except for one thing. . . Kidnap her - take her away from whoever was abusing her; give her the life she deserves. It was a crazy idea, and he knew it - that's exactly why he shook the idea out of his head. . . That was until he saw her come to school with a black eye and limping while holding her sides. Parker snapped and did the one thing he swore he'd never do- Kidnap Nola B., for her own protection. *** Warning: Contains abuse and harsh language.

This book is so awfully written, I'm embarrassed. The relationship is toxic and evil and I've been working on rewriting this story. As soon as I have it rewritten, I'm gonna take it down and put it back up. It's gonna be the same concept but I'm gonna fix plot holes and make it a little healthier.

These are the more "steamy" chapters for Love Hits Hard.

"You stole something from me." His voice was low, a rumble coming from his chest, his eyes intensely staring into hers. She stared helplessly back at him, losing herself in the depth of his green orbs. Her body trembled with fear and anticipation as his lips grazed over her cheek. He took a step closer, caging her in against the door she had tried to escape through moments ago, her back pressed against it. Her body felt weak, her legs almost giving in. She would have fallen to the ground if it weren't for his strong arms wrapping around her waist, pulling her into his broad, hard chest. She shivered, she could feel every toned muscle on his stomach through his shirt, the heat of his body transferring onto her cold one. "and now I want something in return." He whispered as his soft lips pressed down onto hers, leaving her body set ablaze. He had decided her faith the moment he laid eyes on her but she had been too innocent to realize that.
