Do you believe in destiny? In true love and the possibility of loving someone so completely that your soul remembers them in a next life? I guess I'd never given it much thought before. I mean, why would I? I'd thought Callen and I were meant to be together. We'd always been best friends. What could be more perfect than that? And if it seemed as if something indefinable was missing between us- well, I just assumed that someday it would fall into place too. But that was before... Before he came into my life. With the very first slide of his fingers as they whispered across my skin, I knew... I knew that he was my forever. There was just something magnetic that drew me to him. And I realized that what I'd always felt for Callen paled in comparison to what this mysterious boy meant to me. He was like the very air needed for breath. Without him I was left to gasp and choke. I'm not sure I could have fought against the lure of him, even if I'd wanted to. But never could I imagine just how our story began. Just how we'd become entwined in the first place and that once we were connected, it would last forever. Even knowing that both our lives would be placed in jeopardy because of our love, I still would not be able to turn away from him. And knowing everything that I do now... I would do it all over again for just the chance at togetherness. ****Forgotten is now available as an ebook for purchase at Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon, as well as other ebook retailers. If you would like to own a copy of your very own, please consider purchasing one for $2.99! Thank you!****
