[Thornton Boys - Book 3]

__________

Drake.

Friends. Family. Basketball. Music; the four most important things in my life. 

That other thing? The thing all my brothers have? It's never been important to me. Girls were always temporary entertainment, a bit of fun, nothing more. No girl has ever made an impact on me. Not until her; my best friends sister. She flipped everything I thought I knew about girls upsides down and had me believing I was falling for real, for the first time. 

But I know better now. I know who she really is now. She's a liar, a manipulator, a treacherous snake. I was blinded by her charm and her beauty before, but now I see the ugly within. The true colours. And I hate what I see. Shay Hawthorne thinks she can roll back into my life now? After everything she did? She has another fucking thing coming.

***

Shay.

Survival. Axel. River. Macauley; the four most important things in my life.

That other thing? The thing my brother has with Jax? No thank you, not interested, never was and never will be. My mom gave herself up to guys fast and loose, and I'll be damned if I let myself end up like her. When it comes to boys people think I'm in control, they think I'm a female player, they think I call the shots.

I really don't. My brothers best friend proved that to me. And now? He hates me, he wants me gone, he wants me to disappear back to the depraved life I'm hoping to claw my way out of. I don't think so. Drake Daniels, I ain't going no where. For the first time ever, I will call the shots. Just you wait. 

________

After the events of the labyrinth, tensions run high as Shay fights to prove herself to her brother and his friends. But can she keep her past life and her present circumstances separate? Can she control herself around Drake..? Will she ever really be welcome in North Bridge? With Axel's trial, Jax and Penn's baby on the way, and a whole tonne of drama in between, get ready to continue the story of the Thornton Boys.

Book One of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** #1 in bxb tag: 09/21/2024 #4 in friendstolovers tag: 9/21/2024 CYRUS PIERCE: I'm content in my almost soundless world. I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.

They say that when you fall ill, you can't imagine how it had felt to be fit and healthy again. The memories disappear and all that you are left with is the pain and the feelings of being helpless, like your life is merely just hanging on the edge of a thread. If you compare it, I felt like that after the year of abuse I had endured, I couldn't remember how it felt not to be hit and shoved around. I couldn't remember how if had felt to not be covered in bruises or to have scrapes and cuts that sting. I was frightened every second of every single day. I feared what I would have to say, each word would be like gasoline to the fire that would inevitably explode sooner rather than later. At first, I loved him, I would gladly jump in front of a bus for him, but when the love-struck puppy disappeared and my vision was no longer clouded by sweet gestures and expensive gifts, I saw him for who he truly was. A cold, heartless man that thrived off the hurt and anguish of others, and when I finally discovered who the person I fell in love was, it was too late to leave. Skye Talbot was nothing near a normal girl. Her 'boyfriend' was part of the town's most dangerous and feared gangs. She didn't know how she got dragged into the lifestyle of drugs, sex and crazy fights, but she was starting to get used to it. Little did she know it was soon to all change. A mysterious group of five boys come to the school and turn it upside down. Turning them into the ones others should fear. When one of them takes an interest in her, all hell breaks loose between the two gangs. Who will she choose? Whose lives would be risked in the process?
