"Why are you always so argumentive," he questions brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. She shivers at the sound of his husky voice that lightly skims her cheek. If she were to lift her head slightly upwards their lips would come in contact. No! She pushes him away ",because I have to be." He cusses and follows along. ................ Ryan Zean flees from her family, home, and everything she's ever known. She's determined to start a new life in a small city. Shivering nights spent in her car, phenomenal grades, and a growing interest in a mysterious Drake. She can't seem to stay away from him no matter how hard she tries. The problem with that is she hates every guy that walks the earth. It only makes sense that she feel the same towards Drake but can she? Day by day, week by week he's getting closer to her. It's only a matter of time before the monsters she's running from catch up to her. Drake Ryder only has two goals in life, to survive his twisted life and the eternal darkness that follows. Meaningless sex, doing what he loves, and making money is his way to go. What happens when Ryan steps into his world? She shows him even in the storm that dares to drown him, a glimpse of light or a breath of air can be worth everything. The two have demons they both believe they must face on their own. The opinions they have about trust, love, or happiness prevents them from seeing the beauty all around them. Then again how can they when everyday they face a never ending war. Can one heal the other if they can't even heal themselves or will they clash and bash bringing out the worst in each other? .................. The awesome cover photo is dedicated to @coco_lovez !!
