[Prequel to Mismatched]

A single kiss can change two lives forever. When Belinda Clarke attends a party in hopes of getting closer to her crush, things take an interesting turn. At the stroke of midnight, with fireworks as a backdrop, she receives a kiss, one she swears she will never forget.

Known for his charm and easy-going personality, Jace Leighton is the most popular guy in school and the man of Belinda's dreams. When sparks fly, their relationship shifts from what she calls friendly acquaintances, neither strangers nor close friends, to something more.

With a shared love for food, the two hit it off immediately. Unbeknownst to many, Belinda has a dark past, one that keeps her from putting all her love and trust in anyone. With the support of her best friend Yvette and the sincerity of Jace, she tries to overcome her fears and decides to take a leap of faith.

Ending up with your first love is one in a million. As the two face challenges along the way, they learn from their experiences and grow, hopefully together.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 Newadult
