Julia Parriet moves to Las Vegas, Nevada from a little small town in Connecticut. After her family stops talking to her for her decision, she befriends a bus driver named Rick, who's son mysteriously stopped talking to his parents except for a yearly, short phone call.   Much to her surprise, Landon, the mysterious son, appears literally out of know where and demands time with Julia, or Little Bit, as he's deemed her.   Landon loves his parents, but after getting bit by a wolf when he turned 18, he cuts off contact, thinking it for the best. He puts all of his time in becoming a lawyer, and damned if he doesn't make it. He's funny, flirty, and possessive; his Little Bit has the power to calm him down with her shy and easy going nature, however, and all is for the best. Until  an old problem comes and bites him in the tail.  Can Julia save the family that's been broken, and keep Landon's old enemies from showing up and ruining what ever true happiness she has finally found? Or will the desert be too hot for these two?      ---------------------------------------------------Please vote, and give feedback on all of the chapters, it truly gives a writer confidence!

BEFORE YOU READ- DISCLAIMER! The main character is blunt, hates life and is very vulgar and hateful towards everyone and everything . However there is a reason for this. She is strong-headed and short-tempered, ill-mannered and disrespectful (though some may say in a loveable way). If this isn't for you, then I wouldn't suggest reading this book. It's about character development and personal growth. - Kody Lawrence is not normal. On the contrary, she's everything but. When the hot-headed, short-tempered, rude new girl arrives in the small town of Raven Hollow, Maine, most people are put off by her unexpected and -considering her horrible attitude and pessimism- unwanted appearance. However, despite her constant locked jaw, clenched fists and cold glare, Lilah Johansson, Kody's appointed 'buddy', can't help but want to be her new friend in spite of their not-so-impressive first impression. But Lilah is not to be sold separately, and with the friendly redhead comes four boys with charming smiles and welcoming arms that hide their own secrets and covered-up lies. Amongst the group of five, Dakota Black is the one who stands out with his calculating eyes and kind heart, and while Kody has no intention to stick around longer than a few months, he might just be the one to change that. With a duffel bag of money, a box-filled with different identities, a pocket full of problems and a closet stacked to the brim with secrets, Kody's quiet and peaceful Senior year takes a couple of unexpected turns. The only question is: Are they for better or for worse? ___ (Small disclaimer: The first few chapters aren't the greatest, but I took some time off from writing this book and came back to it when I'd gotten a bit better with writing, so if you can get past the rocky start, hopefully you won't regret it). ___ Re-published: 7.4.18 (7th of April) Finished: 9.3.20 (9th of March) Currently editing and correcting mistakes / plot holes. (Editing chapters at random)
