"Have you ever felt yourself slowly becoming attached to something that wasn't real?
An idea, or a place, or maybe even the fictional character in that book you just read or that show you just watched.
Perhaps even a person in your dreams?
It happens easily, and it happens fast.
At least it did with me."

***

Adira "Ira" Chase has been haunted by the dreams her entire life.

Sometimes they embody her deepest desires, oftentimes they are the culmination of her worst nightmares.

They're different every night, but one thing about them has always been the same.

Him.

But when the boy of her dreams shows up in her apartment, Ira is forced to face the possibility that her nightmares might not be as far removed from reality as she once thought.

Liam, the boy she's seen every night when she closed her eyes, the boy she's known her whole life, is real, and not only does he claim to share her nightmares, but he informs Ira that they're both in danger.

It seems someone else knows about their connection too, and they're eager to abuse it.

Liam is unpredictable, cocky, and he seems to blame her for the nightmares that have plagued his life for as long as he can remember.

It's a connection that neither of them wants to accept, but if they're going to survive, they're going to have to learn.

Ira Sharma. She scowls on almost everybody that tries to know her, outside the professional boundary. But she wasn't always like this. She was a lovely, smart girl, whose dream was to study hard and get a job to cater to her ailing mother. But life was harsh enough to shake off all the balance in her life that she had to start learning to live it from the beginning. Her heart and mind have always been in sync with each other. Until one night. When she saw him. Aryan Sehgal. He smiles even at his haters. Coming from a self-made rich family, he had everything he wanted until the picture of his family changed. He was eventually forced by life to take up his grandfather's dream publication company, to save it from moving any closer to the ruinations. Navigating through women's hearts was a game of his left hand, but took an oath to not date anymore in the hope of taking a break before he settled for "the one." Until his eyes met hers. And as if all this wasn't enough, being in each other's vicinity every day was the last thing they both wanted. Ira had promised to not trust people ever again, but she finds herself slipping bit by bit, every second she spends around him, while Aryan loses it sooner than he thought. But he doesn't know her story. And she is rigid enough to not let that guard crumble so soon. Would she be able to maintain her grumpy ulterior with Aryan being by her side? Would she allow herself to live life again? And more importantly, would she be able to allow herself to love ever again?

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights. He has countless tattoos covering his body. And he doesn't care about anything or anyone else. Layla Stevens is your average seventeen year-old girl, just trying to get through high school, with the friends she loves and doing the things she loves. When these two cross paths accidentally in an unusual way, they leave and never expect to speak to each other again. But fate has other plans. Layla finds her way into Reece's life and Reece doesn't know what to do about it. This ray of Sunshine suddenly meant something to him. She understood him when it seemed like no one else did. And he protected her from everyone who tried to hurt His Sunshine. Get ready for a story filled with bad pick-up lines, twin telepathy and a lot of fighting. Like, a LOT. Thanks for that one, Reece.

"Do they not say that a good friendship builds on a ground of lies?" I joke, lightening the mood immediately as his green eyes glint in humor and a smirk falls on his familiar lips. "Do you kiss a lot of your friends, love?" The underlying tones threaten to provoke a blush on my cheeks, but I get myself together. Smirking at him, "Well, of course, is that not the norm?" *********** Dakota Moore is the perfect example of a beautiful disaster. Her wisdom is ready to knock anyone down, her self worth is an exact replica of the way her father raised her, and her pain so intense it screams over every building. She refuses to show anyone what's going on behind closed doors, especially when her lovely father gets the traumatic news that he has an incurable disease. Elijah Black is the spur of the moment kind of guy, he's the one no one ever settles with because of his angry outbursts and rude ways. Even though he throws everyone off, except for when they want sexual advances, he still can't help but feel enthralled by the freckled girl who's hiding so many secrets behind a fake smile. As they clash and try to reject the obvious rush, will they accept their attraction, or is everything just too much? After all, how can two ruined teenagers manage a youthful love without destroying themselves in the process?
