But with tormented pasts, old, destructive habits, criminal organizations and Rose's fear for love and her wariness of him, Sean getting his happy ending might not be possible. * She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen, there was no doubt about that. Everything about her drew me in. Her luscious hair, kissable lips, and her eyes! Those amber flames that pulled me in and burned me, sweetly torturing me. To say she was mesmerizing would be an understatement but as there are no words in the dictionary fit enough to describe her beauty, that is what I'll use. She was both a sinner and a saint, flawed yet somehow those flaws made her perfect. A creation of god meant only and solely for me. My other half. The missing part of my heart if not all of it. And it was that fact that made her so irresistible yet so dangerous. The fact that she could make me fall so hard in love that it would destroy me. She was dangerously irresistible. * Current cover by: @bullethood Dangerously Irresistible. Copyright © 2016 by @InfinitySkylines662. All Rights Reserved.

*Completed* "I just want to know why." I say as I turn over, trying to find his figure through the dark of my room. "Why what?" He asks. "Why you're being so nice to me." I say quietly, vulnerability seeping into my words. "How we even became friends." He sighs, "I want to know how." I scrunch my brow. "How what?" His response is soft, the opposite of his sarcastic personality. "How you don't see it." ******* Reagan Holt was about as average as a high school student could be. She didn't play any sports, didn't participate in the popular activities, and wasn't the girl all the boys chased after. All except one boy. He wrote her a letter every week. Each letter described something new for him to love about her. Whether it was how beautiful her laugh was or how his heart swelled with every smile she gave, he never failed to write how he felt. So the two should be together, right? That's the way Reagan wants it, but there's just one problem. He signs his letters "Love, Anonymous." Now add an obnoxious, conceited, sex god into the equation and you get a teenage girl confused on who really loves her.
