Three words, eight letters

"You can't just throw that word around like it's nothing, okay? It means something to me, Colt. It's not just another word in the dictionary." I whisper, taking a step back as he takes one forward until I'm backed into a corner.

"I know, Tess. But I'm not just throwing it around. I'll say it again if you want. Heck, I'll say it a million times if you asked. I. Love. You."

Meet Colton Reese, Silver Springs twenty one year old bad boy. He also just so happens to be part of the worlds most dangerous gang. He isn't all bad though. He's also an older brother and a friend. He's never been in love, his motto that love makes you weak. Weakness is not something that he can afford. Until he meets Tessa Allen: Sister's best friend.

Tessa isn't like other girls. She's innocent, kind, beautiful beyond comparison, and makes Colton wanna be a better person.

Will she be able change him or will she break his heart instead?
