≈≈≈He stops and looks at me. Like really looks at me, I feel like he's staring into my soul. My heartbeat quickens subconsciously as he reaches his hand out and wipes some of my hair that got stuck to my face tenderly behind my ear. The inside of my tummy feels like it's doing flips, as though there are a hundred butterflies trapped inside. His fingers trail gently down my cheek to my lips, and his thumb softly trails my bottom lip. I stay completely still, not daring to move a muscle.≈≈≈ Genevieve Nikson is not allowed to surf, according to her parents. So, she sneaks out at night to go to the ocean, the place she loves. However, when normally homeschooled Evie is sent to high school for her final year, she is suddenly tossed into a world she has never experienced before.

With his extremely good looks and golden boy image, he is well respected as the best surfer in town. Evie doesn't know why he takes a sudden interest in her. But one thing is for sure, she wants nothing to do with the cocky jerk. But even she knows, he brings something out of her that she never thought was possible. When there is an incident involving Axel's twin sister, the two are thrown into a wild journey that they both didn't expect coming. Secrets are unravelled, pasts reawakened, and a love that they never thought would be possible. Sometimes you've just got to ride the wave.

"I-I can't do this anymore!" I said with a sigh, tilting my chin up to meet his silver eyes. "I can't keep playing these childish games with you!" "Then let's put the games to the end." He backed me up against the wall and the dim light of the room outlined all his sharp featured, reminding me of how he would always help me find the light when the darkness completely engulfed me. "You wanna play Tag? I'm it. I am it for you." Xander Kings never believed he would discover refuge in the emerald eyes of Aurora White. And she never anticipated that her shattered world could be mended. The stars, in her world, began to twinkle in those silver eyes of his. And like how a child learns the constellations, he memorized all of her. Cover: @ourforevers (me) Highest Rank- #11 in Romance & #13 on Newadult Hotlist Completed
