"I love you too much to let myself ruin you."


She had loved and lost, and he never bothered to try.


Natasha Reed had a turbulent past. She had been wronged, and she has wronged others. But after a year of trying to outrun the ghosts of her past and the consequences of her bad decisions, she finally has the fresh start she'd needed. After the terrible betrayal of her closest friends and the monstrosity committed by the boy she had hoped would give her the happily ever after she'd always wanted, she knows better than to believe in friendship or love. But earnest sounding promises are broken, and resolutions can be weakened. And nobody knows it better than her. But she also knows that her past isn't something she can just ignore. Can her new feelings and opportunities win when pitted against the torment that has been her companion for so long? 



Sebastian Bain has his own set of problems. He considers it easier to not let people in, and he has his reasons. But when someone unknowingly burrows her way into his heart, would he be able to do what it takes to keep her? Or maybe, the bigger question is, will anything be enough to keep her?

What happens when even love isn't enough?

"The things you do for friends." He laughed softly... "Yeah. For friends," I whispered. "Is that what we are then?".... "Is that what you want?" he asked after several moments of just staring at each other. I gripped the door frame behind me as I felt my knees weaken. I was sure by his smirk that the movement didn't go unnoticed. I swallowed nervously. I didn't know what to say. Just a week ago I told him we were nothing. A few days before that I was ready to tell him off and possibly even smack him if I ever got the chance to see him again. Sure, he was one of my oldest friends and my first (and only) love, but he was also my first heartbreak. Could I go back to being friends with the same guy who insinuated to the world that I was a cheater? And why did "just friends" feel like not enough in this moment? *** ** * When McKenzie went out with her best friends one night, she never dreamed she would run into her ex, famous country singer Beau Anderson, and she never dreamed that she would allow him to come back into her life. Unable to cope with having a relationship in the public eye again, McKenzie is determined to resist all of Beau's charms...no matter how hard that may be.. Beau is determined to tear down the walls she's built since their ugly and very public split. But what will he find in the rubble? Will they be just friends ...something more...or nothing at all....? Can they reconcile their past in time to save their future? *** ** * WARNING: mature content! There is inappropriate language and some mature scenes.
