My best friend is Melody Rivers. We did everything together, from doing homework to jumping into freezing butt clenching rivers and, OF COURSE, discussing cute boys. That's pretty much it, I guess.
BTW, I was totally crushing on Aidan, the hot swimming ace of our high school, hopefully we have something!
But Melody's more interested in books than guys, which is BS because she's totally crazy beautiful.
That's my life currently

Everything is great for fiery Victoria Pierson, a crush who seems to like her back, a great best friend, loving parents and recognition in school.
Zach, on the other hand, not so much. He's been in love with Victoria for nearly four years, but she has never noticed him as a man, or let's face it, never even noticed him in general.
As Victoria plunges deeper into a relationship with notorious player Aidan, Zach catches Aidan cheating on her and promises to himself he'll make Victoria fall out of love with Aidan... and fall deep into his embrace.

I gulped as his hand cupped my jaw, "Tell me River. Are you scared of me?" He asked and I looked up at his eyes.
I didn't have to ponder over the matter long.
"I don't know." I said softly.
Daimen frowned and studied me for a while, "Just wondering, because you seem to love pissing me off. And most people don't. So I guess you need some figuring out to do."
*********
Daimen and River were both seniors at the same high school, they took some of the same classes, walked the same halls, live in fair distance from each other, but they couldn't have been more different. When high school was over River and Daimen became ghosts to each other but then years later fate decides to bring them back together.
River Sparrow hates confrontation. She's jumpy, but tries to see the bright side of situations. She's quiet, soft spoken, the "teacher's pet," and keeps to herself a lot. She's a volunteer at the local animal shelter and loves one dog in particular the most.
Daimen Princeston would fight in a heartbeat. He's strong, intimidating, and pretty much has people running for the hills at the very aspect of him getting angry. His devil-may-care attitude swirls around him and no one wants to get on his bad side. Of course River is afraid of him, and she has a good right to be.
But when River starts to learn more of the young man everyone fears she starts to see him in a new way. After some time feelings grow stronger and she hopes she's not fallen for a murderer. And if she has, who is she to deny him the love he so desperately needs?
