When Leah is finally given another chance at a family, it's too late for her. She's lost hope of anyone at all loving her. She shuts herself out, wondering if things would be different if she was adopted sooner. At least until a green eyed boy changes Leah's entire world.
Leah leads a mostly normal life. At 15, she's adopted by the richest family in town. She moves schools and is grateful for new scenery.
But with her bratty new sister and droolworthy next door neighbor- and his twin, things are about to get way more interesting.
Join Leah as she makes new friends, gets put in awkward situations, deals with inner struggles and family struggles, and ultimately gets a second chance at life.

I turned the corner, running head-first into a wall. Ouch.
It only got better- sarcasm- when I realized that it wasn't a wall. It was him. He smirked as my face got redder and redder. I could feel our breath intermingled. "Well isn't this nice?" I huffed.
"What are you doing?" I asked annoyed, and slightly scared.
He leaned forward, his lips slightly touching my ear. I shivered as he muttered, "I'm trying to seduce you."

I loved the effect I had on him. I knew I shouldn't, but I did. Grinning, I innocently said, "Why not River?" He studied me intensely for a long moment before accepting my challenge. "Because if you keep squirming like that, rubbing yourself against me, my restraint is going to break" River said. "What? Like this?" I asked, shifting my hips back and forth in his lap. I could feel him start to harden underneath me and my core began to flutter. "Stop it Nevaeh" River ground out.

One of his hands glided up my thigh, stopping to rest on my hip. His breathing grew heavier, matching mine. "You always have a sweet scent when I'm near you," he murmured against my skin. "Like vanilla and cinnamon." His teeth grazed a sensitive spot on my neck, and I hummed involuntarily. My legs pressed together, trying to stifle the ache building between them. He was making me feel things I hadn't felt before-things I wasn't sure I could control. "I should-" I started, my voice faltering as I tried to regain control. "I should get you something to sober up." I quickly slipped off the table, putting space between us, but he was faster. His hand caught my wrist, and before I knew it, he had me pinned against the wall. "So?" His voice was low, almost a growl. "Must I always stay sober? I don't want anything... just you."Complete

He buried his face in my hair and whispered in my ears, "So, will you be my valentine?" His arms slid down around my waist and looked down at me hopefully. I stared back. I couldn't tell what was happening. I wanted to say yes, no, something. But nothing was coming out. It felt like I've lost my voice all of a sudden.
