Malia's life was never her own. Tormented by her chronic illness, she believed a normal life filled with love, passion, or even a happy ending was impossible. She accepted her fate. She would die and never have the love they talk about in novels. 

Until she meets Denver, by chance, who makes her question her morals. With bad boy down to a T, she blows him off. Only to find her mind, time and time again, thinking of him. Wanting him despite her desperate attempts to prevent it. 

Denver, dealing with his own problems, still only wants to show her that a life worth living is possible. Her constant attempts of pushing him away make him crave to know her even more. Denver will unlock deep desires within Malia that only he can reach.

'"I'll show you what to do. Get on your knees," he demands, his voice low like a growl. I can only do what he requests, nodding submissively as I fold my hands carefully in my lap, watching as he scoots closer to the edge of the bed. "Teach me. I want to know how to make you feel good," I whisper. I lean into his hand as he gently strokes the pad of his thumb against the curve of my cheekbone. He tucks the loose strands of my hair back behind my ear and then sinks his teeth into his bottom lip. "Good girl, Blossom. Good girl."' 🌸🌸🌸 Eager as ever to continue their relationship in their dream city, New York, Lexi Brooks and Bryce Bradshaw have to learn how to stick by each other despite all the things they encounter in their new home; new opportunities, new friendships, and most importantly, new potential romantic interests. Now knowing that his father is keeping some deep, dark secret from him, Bryce tries his best to dig it out despite having to hide secrets of his own from his naive girlfriend. He could never imagine living without her, and he knows that the line between protecting her from the truth and telling her purely lies is now very, very blurred. 🌸🌸🌸 'Something There' Book #2
