He murmurs in a tone of voice that is so much more tender and amorous than usual, his face coming closer to mine as he speaks. "Go on," I urge him forward, my words carrying a double-meaning as I let my eyes fall down to focus on his lips. He seems to get a firm grasp of what I am hinting at as, not even three-seconds later, his lips meet mine. *** Rayna Harris is a rambunctious young lady with fireproof determination. Although only known around the city as 'mediocre' at best, the aspiring model doesn't allow it to break her spirits. For the most part, anyway. With her patience running on a thin wire, Rayna grows tired of aiming for the moon and only falling among dully-lit stars. All it takes is a bad photoshoot and one moment of vexation for everything to come crumbling down. A single second of madness that carries huge consequences. When presented with an opportunity to rescue her career by helping a shunned photographer named Caleb Fitrei, Rayna must attempt to claw back the shards of her shattered image and stick them back together. The task is not an easy one, but one that must be done. For her sake, and for his. A tale of disaster, dilemma and devotion awaits. [Word Count: roughly 65,000] --- THIS BOOK IS COPYRIGHT PROTECTED!
