The past changes everything.
The present and future,
are gone
And those spades,
they won't stop,
digging our hearts away...
***********************
Alice Armstrong. Just moved from Phoenix, Arizona to Greenville, South Carolina. She had gotten a scholarship to the most prestigious school in the city, so she had to study hard whilst juggling jobs to provide for her and her Mum. She is kind, modest and a strong girl. And she thinks maybe this time she will be lucky.
Until him...
Jack Stone. The boy girls adore and fawn over. The cold, heartless being who crushes hopes and dreams. He's destined for a promising future. And of course he'll pursue it...
Won't he?
You see, you can't tell with Jack. He's unpredictable. He's a liar.
******************************
It all started with a driving test. Then an accident. Then pity. Then a 'lie'. Then regret.
This story isn't cliche. Alice doesn't speak back to him. Doesn't swoon over him.
Couldn't.
Wouldn't.
And Jack. He can't melt.
Shouldn't.
Wouldn't
Because if the 'can't' turned into a 'can'. And the 'shouldn't' turned into a 'should',
the spades would loom over them both...

A Bad Boy's Worst Nightmare (Book 1)
She didn't reply and I felt her finger move across my skin, lower, and almost all the way down my lower back. A shiver coursed through my body, strangely pleasant, and I felt her finger stop. "Your tattoos are beautiful," she said softly. Too close. She was too close. My pulse was hammering and I could feel her cool breath against my skin when she spoke, and my body was warm from having felt her. I couldn't reply. My breathing was light and shaken. I wanted to just turn around and pull her against me, or rather put her against a wall, so I could kiss her and feel her more properly against me. If she touched me again, I wasn't sure that I could keep myself from doing just that. "I'm going to take a shower," I said suddenly in an attempt to escape. She didn't stop me, so I took that opportunity to walk away. When I reached the bathroom, I took a deep breath to steady myself as well as my pulse. Closing the door behind me, I ran a hand through my hair. She truly was a nightmare. A bad boy's worst nightmare was a girl that made him want to be a good one.Complete

Now being 17 years old Kyle Everest still holds this unknown resentment against his next door neighbor Olivia Kingston, and torches her in any possible way he can, but what would happen when Olivia finally gets sick of letting Kyle torcher her unexplainably? Everything would change in the matter of one day when Olivia accidentally gets them both locked in the principals office in search of the same thing: The truth. But while staying together in a cramped room with no phones and surviving off nothing but the secret stash of their principal, while the entire schools is off on spring break, secrets will be told and feeling will unravel.

His Sunshine | ✓
She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

No matter how much he irritates the complete hell out of me and makes me want to strangle him. Nope... I won't kill him... Yet. ××× Stuck living next to the bad boy? What will Aaron do as she runs from her past while trying to ignore the bad boys charms and sexy body? Will she fall for it? Or will everything come crashing down on her in the end?
