When Rebecca moves back to her hometown for a friend's wedding, unfortunate circumstances put her near her ex-boyfriend, who left her completely broken. But her return seems to be more dangerous than she bargained for, and she searches for answers that were left unsaid. 

                                                                     ***

Becca Bradly didn't know what she was expecting when she was asked to be the maid-of-honor for her best friend's wedding. She lives in LA and has a decent life after successfully acting in a recently released movie. But she definitely didn't plan to go back to her hometown. The place she hasn't visited in five years. And the place where her broken heart still lays, shattered from her one and only ex-boyfriend. Michael Campbell was once someone people could rely on, but right before their senior graduation, that all changed, and when Becca finds herself returning home, she sees a completely different man in his place. Cold, detached and heartless, Becca finds herself constantly surrounded by the man she is supposed to hate most. And even though it's hard to ignore him when he's part of the wedding party, it's harder to do so when she realizes that the secrets he's been keeping all these years, start unravelling. The truth, however, was something she least expected, and now she has to fight for her life and the people she loves most.

He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back.

I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger. He sat on the bed, criss crossed and pulled me to him. β™‘β™‘β™‘β™‘β™‘ The thing about love is... its unpredictable. Even when you don't want love, it just happens. Cassandra is your typical anti-social tomboy where Easton is your black leather jacket high school bad boy. Cassandra and her siblings arrive at Brinkley mansion hoping the year to get by quickly so they can be back with their dad. But then they meet Easton who has a different plan for them. The to-be sole heir of Brinkley Inc., rude, party lover, filled with nothing but rage for the invaders in his house, becomes determined to bring the truth out to world about his father by making the lives of Cassandra and her siblings living hell.

*I DO NOT OWN THIS NOVEL. THIS IS MY MOST MOST FAVORITE NOVEL AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SHARE IT HERE IN WATTPAD FOR YOU GUYS. That's right! She's just that high and mighty, holding no one in her sight. With a sharp tongue and toxic mouth; vile and impossible to get along with. Not to mention she changes boyfriends like she changes clothes, regularly gracing the headlines of gossip magazines. It's best that he knows her true face now and leave, the further the better. And stop acting like a fool, chasing after what he can never obtain--. She and he, will never be together! This had been destined since the love-hate disputes of the previous generation. Yet a shocking plane crash gave her another chance at life. And let her discover an infatuation she never would have imagined--. The man that she had always fought and competed against, who wanted to steal what was rightfully hers. To think he was actually... silently and secretly in love with her! His deep and immeasurable love, and the stupid things he had done in the name of love. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, yet her heart can't help but ache. But she had already decided, no matter how many lifetimes she lives. She would never be like her mother, a weakling controlled by love. So over and over again, she can only push him away while hurting herself.... ****** @https://dysrysummaries.wordpress.com/2017/03/14/love-me-again-introduction/

BEWARE: the writing in this is from when I was younger, and is extremely cringey and cliche. I advise you not to read this because the writing in this is no longer a representation of my writing, and I think reflects very poorly on me. Instead, I'd love it if you tried out my newer book, which is in my opinion, much better than this. Just a suggestion, but either way, it's your choice. You've been warned. They strived to make their love perfect. To make their love into an illusion of what could've been perfection. But they were beaten and bruised. And so was their love.

Don't you dare walk away from me." Logan's menacing stare bore at me. I suddenly didn't feel drunk anymore. I sobered up quickly. "What, Logan? You're gonna tell me that you suddenly love me again? That you're here to sweep me off my feet? Please! I didn't need you all this time, and I don't need you now." He clenched his jaw, fisting his hands. "Enough. Stop being so damn stubborn. You know I do. I love you. I never stopped loving you, Sophie. It was always you." I left my hometown hoping to never see him again. I left with his baby still inside of me. Seven years after, and here I am again. Standing before him and a six-year-old wanting to know who his dad is, and asking me to marry him because everyone in his class but him and his best friend don't have a daddy. What am I supposed to do with all these feelings that are resurfacing? I'm realizing every day that I never got over him. I merely suppressed my feelings, and him telling me this now- in my face, just made things more complicated.
