"You want a love that consumes you. You want passion, adventure, and even a little danger." He wishes he could feel anything. Anything. He doesn’t sense a bone in his body that can feel compassion or worthiness. Self-pity hides away as well, the lowest form of emotion not even capable of resting in his wrecked mind. Danger sweetens the brew. Makes it more delicious. It's been 3 years since Austin went to jail, 3 years since Elena has even seen him. The same vicious Austin Mahone that everyone knows is back. The same business cycle repeats itself once again. What would you do for the one that you love?

"Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then there are those remarkably rare, addictive ones who just bring out the most. Of everything. They make you feel so alive that you'd follow them straight into hell, just to keep getting your fix." - Karen Marie Moning Every girl wants a bad boy to be good only for her.

Ashley Ridgell I was a simple girl with a simple life; father in the government, mother as a lawyer. My life was pretty good, almost perfect if you could call it that. I refused to leave, to move to another city, but I had to. It couldn't be that bad after all; new school, new friends, new life. It was a star over, at least I thought I had one before one specific boy changed everything. Austin Mahone Annoying, dangerous, but highly attractive; the boy I hated the most, or at least I thought I did. He wasn't the popular guy in school, he was pretty much the opposite; everyone knew him but no one dared to look him in the eye. He was the feared one, and he loved the feeling; power over others, exactly what he wanted. Since the first time I saw him I knew something was off. The people he hung out with, The Crew, weren't very friendly either. Everyone knew about them, about the dark business they dealt with; everyone knew it was better to stay away, but I was stupid enough not to listen. They say things happen for a reason; but what happened to me? That had no reason at all. Just one night, five boys, and one leader. That's all it took to change my life forever.
