Hayden Conway's life has been anything but easy. Abandoned by her mother after the death of her father, the 21 year old was left with nothing to her name, including a place to live. She works her ass off to pay for her college tuition, but already drowning in student debt, there is no way she will be able to live like this for long. Her days are neverending, lacking purpose, the only thing keeping her going being the light at the end of the tunnel when she can graduate and get a real job, finally starting to live her life.
Grayson Stewart's life seems perfect on the outside. He comes from a wealthy background, is incredibly smart, and has a great group of friends. But there is a gaping hole in his life that he cannot seem to fill, and the haunting tales of his past come back to bite him as he struggles with himself to get through the day.
A chance encounter between the pair shows one thing for sure: these two are like oil and water. She throws up her walls, lashing out at anyone and anything that tries to get near, and he expects her to fall at his feet like all the other girls. They engage in a standoffish relationship, neither one seems to quite like the other, yet neither can seem to pull away.
Hayden won't let anyone in. Grayson won't stop until he demolishes her walls.
And when one of them lets go of that belief, all hell will break loose.

Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete
