Salem shook her head, her hand reaching up to shove the cascading flow of tears from her face. "You should leave." She demanded with a tone laced in lemon juice. "You should leave my apartment and . . . and never speak to me again."

"We need each other Salem. People need people."

And to my surprise, she laughed. "People die."

Like salt in a wound, her words stung. It was as if she knew that what she said would hurt, or at least pinch, and she fully intended on seeing me flinch. But I didn't. People had said worse to me, and I had been hurt by worse. "Yeah. But they live too."

Book 2 of the Jackson Series! With a family that wants nothing to do with her and nobody by her side to pick her up when she falls, Zoe Miller is struggling to make her dreams a reality. But things change when she runs into Hunter Jackson. Both hate each other with a burning passion from the start but that quickly changes as Hunter starts to care for the sweet yet sassy redhead. As they fall for each other, a family ridden with greed and ill intentions threaten to break them apart. But somewhere along the way, Zoe finds everything she's looking for in Hunter. It's now a test of whether their love will survive. *** "Did you really have to hit him?" I ask quietly as I move to clean the cut on his lip and cheekbone. "Yes." I smack his chest lightly with a glare. "All we had to do was walk away, Hunt. You can't just go around hitting people, especially at someone else's house!" "Zoe, he's a sleaze bag! He harasses women every chance he can get!" He argues as I apply ointment to everywhere besides his lip. "Still Hunter, you shouldn't have -" "He deserved it and I'm not sorry about ruining his stupid face!" He crosses his arms with an adamant huff. I close the kit with a slam before standing and making my way back to the bathroom. "I can't believe I'm in love with an idiot." "Wait...you love me?" I freeze before turning to face him slowly. Fuck me, did I say that out loud?! I think to myself in horror. "Uh...it depends..." "On what?" He frowns in confusion as he stands. "If you love me too?" I ask bravely while my poor heart hammers away in my chest. He shakes his head with an amused chuckle before staring at me with...adoration? "I love you too." I blink in surprise before nodding my head dazedly. "Good." "Great." He grins widely as we just stand there staring at each other. "Can I have a kiss now?" "What for? Breaking someone's nose? I don't think so." Published to Wattpad: Cover: WYLD_ROSE © 2020 - 2021 WYLD_ROSE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

"You know, it won't physically hurt you to be nice for once." I crossed my arms in front of my chest and groaned. "I don't want to take a chance." the corner of his lips lifted a little as he finished his sentence. "Well, you don't hear me complaining. The view of a someone so desperately working out is not a delight either." I retorted in a weary voice. "I bet it isn't." he narrowed his eyes at me and commented. Ugh.. Why is he so damn annoying? "You know what, just take your arrogant ass out of my room." I scowled at him, pointing towards the door. With small steps, he walked towards me. I took a step backwards when he neared me. He was invading my personal space, making me a bit flustered. The urge to push back his golden-brown hair covering his forehead was increasing with every passing second. "Gladly." he mumbled against my face and then walked past me out of my room. It took me a minute to calm down my racing heartbeat. ... He was a mystery, an enigma I wanted to solve. He was exhausting, he was infuriating, yet staying away from him was not an option. He was making me feel things I haven't felt before. Adam McArdle! Who are you and what are you doing to my poor little heart? ... #1 in GENERAL FICTION (23-05-2019) #1 in CHICKLIT (21-07-2019)
