𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗧𝘄𝗼 | 𝗖𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 | When Kay gets an emergency call from her mother, Brian takes her back to her hometown of Harmony, where she has to deal with old family drama and her ex-boyfriend, Mario, who just won't let her go. 

"𝘼 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙪𝙜𝙖𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙜𝙤 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣. 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩?"
                                                              ***
Kay Ruiz found it all when she left home. She discovered life, stability, and the power to be independent. She gained love, a powerful bond, and the strength of a new family.  Yet with all the good entering her life, Kay can't ignore the shadow of her past. Brian reminds her she can't keep running from it, either. After an urgent phone call from her mother, Kay has no choice but to face memories. With Brian at her side, she decides to take them head-on, no matter what. Can Kay tackle the demons that caused her anxieties? Or will Kay run from them, just like she did before?

                                                        ***
Brian looked into my eyes as he pushed a single curl behind my ear. "I love every bit of you, you know that? Without you, my coffee's black. And shit Kay, I can't go back to that kind of darkness."

"Tell me. Why won't you tell me?" He asks and I look towards him slowly, "You didn't even talk to me until yesterday! I'm trying to make it so nobody notices me, Kingston. I don't need this." I say and he slowly turns my face towards him, closing my locker and pinning me up against it. "What if I need you?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "Nice one, Hamlet." I say, walking away from him. One of the perks of being short, easily get away from tall people. ❤︎ Kingston Brag is the blonde haired popular guy with baby blue eyes, he's the guy every girl wanted. Every. Single. One. Except for her... Summer Cynthia. She hides in the corners and under black hoodies to hide her scars and bruises, her bloody arms and cuts, she hides her life. But there is one person who is determined to know what happened to her. Kingston Brag. But he has a mission that he's running from. This book contains one sexual scene, lots of bad words, abuse, violence, all that jazz. If you don't want that don't read the book and comment how it's not appropriate or some crap like a mom.
