Mariposa Flores desperately wants two things--to be a landscaper and to be reunited with her boyfriend. Too bad her parents have a problem with both. Being immigrants, they have sacrificed everything so that Mara can get a college education and pursue a professional career. Even though their landscape business has provided a good living, they don't want that for their daughter. Mara, however, is never happier than when she is outside creating beauty in nature. She has grand plans to take her father's business to a higher level, and she would be happy to go to college for landscape design if they would only let her. Sparks fly when her father insists she take an office job for the summer and banishes her from all things related to gardening. Thank heavens she has Chad to console her. But her parents’ opinion of Chad is not a good one either. In fact, they were happy when Chad moved away. Even so, Mara is sure their love can survive until they're back together again. That is, she's sure until she runs into--literally--a boy with silver eyes who seems strangely familiar. But Oliver can't be someone she knows because he's not from her town. Or even from her time. And what he needs most of all to get back home is a garden.
Mara will risk everything to help Oliver get home. And in doing so, she just might find out what home means to her.

I guess you need to feel the bottom. The only problem - you don't know where that bottom is." And she is trying to analyze how is it that she got attached to him so quickly and so strongly: "What has he done to me? Is it some kind of a spell? How could I get so attached to him so soon?

Ripper - Hell Rider's MC #1 -
This story has plot holes and grammar mistakes, I get it. This book isn't edited at all and I plan to once the series is finished. If you don't want to read it than don't read it but don't comment and bash me for mistakes when I have warned readers many times that I don't edit. Thank you. ____ I shivered as I pulled my coat tighter around me. I had been walking for days, and sadly it was mid winter. The chill felt like it would never go away, and no matter how many shops I went into to warm up, I always had to trudge through the snow once more. I had no clue as to where I was going, but I was praying that I would find someone safe and warm before I was either found by the one person I was trying to escape, or before I froze to death on the side of the street. ~ Lilith, or Lilly, is running from her mother after she tried selling Lilly's body to some men.
