Everyone knew Avery Madison Michaels, but a million people knew her in a million different ways.
Literally.
The public knew her as a party girl who would go with any guy who would take her.
Her friends knew her as the girl she once was, a free spirit with a passion for helping others, but they also knew of the walls she built, and her desperation for the attention from the one person that refused to give it.
Her brothers knew her as their fierce protector that would do anything to keep them safe.
Her father knew her as a disappointment.
And Blake didn't know her, but after he realizes his initial impression of her was as far from the truth as possible, he's determined to know Avery in a way that no one else does.
He's determined to tear down her walls, but he was never prepared for her to challenge him in ways he could have never guessed.
He was definitely not prepared for how scared she was to let him in.
But most of all he was not prepared for her to exceed his wildest expectations.

Little Sweet Dreamer
"Oh," he said, as my back hit the wooden wall. Damn it, of course. With nowhere to go, his arms locked me in between him and the wall.

I could speak and be as brave as I wanted to. "Yeah, I am," I said. "What are you gonna do about it?" He paused as his eyes looked between the two of mine. Then, he smirked and swiftly closed the gap between our lips. ~~ In a small town in New York, Hazel is your average quiet type.
