Reese Price moves to a different continent, not by choice, of course. An orphan and the youngest of five brothers, moving was the last thing she wanted to do and going to a new school was even higher on her not-wanting to-do list. She wanted to be invisible for the last two years of high school. She wanted to keep her head low and let her twin brother steal the new kid spotlight. Keyword: wanted. I mean, who wouldn't notice the British girl that comes from one of the richest families in the world. With a laugh that echoes wherever she goes like a blazing wildfire, it's hard not to just get lost in her. And just like when a wildfire hits, no one is safe. In her laugh, there is everything he needs. But, what is everything? Laughter usually hides more than it reveals. As certain secrets find their way out and circumstances arise, will Reese's laughter remain intact or will life finally take the best of her? "A laugh a day keeps the fat away." -Reese Price ----- Excerpt: "'You want me to meet your friends, right?" I walk up to him and his friend. "I'm Reese and that is my twin brother Roman. He's older than me by ten minutes and loves to make my life miserable. I love long walks on the beach, oh and falling for my brother's best friends is kind of my thing." Then I add, "I'm usually on the fuck and chuck basis with them, so you won't have to worry about me being some sort of psycho-stalker chick.' Roman's face pales. And that ladies and gentlemen, is how you get payback."' © 2019 AmoraNext All Rights Reserved

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
