However, off-hand comments and remarks about their relationship bring to light the potential challenges they may have to face sooner than they had thought. Unbeknownst to Chelsea, while she attempts to hide her inner turmoil over the unknown future of their relationship, Nolan is forced to battle the surfacing fears he has been ignoring over the past two years.

[COMPLETED] Mackenzie Lemay was hanging out next door at the Montgomery's---a typical day for her, being that her best friend Kylar lived there and it was summer. But what she didn't expect was six-foot-two, brown-haired, blue-eyed, and completely irresistible Zachariah to show up unannounced, throwing her buried, yet deeply entrenched, feelings for a loop. And just when she thought she was over him. For Mack, it had always been Zachariah---her childhood crush never went away. When he comes home from his freshman year of college, she realizes that the past year of 'getting over' her love quarrel didn't get very far. Seeing him again and hearing his voice causes a relapse in the burning fire for him in her heart. The plot twist? What happens when Zachariah needs Mackenzie to do him a favor so he can save face? And what's more, sneaking around with her best friend's older brother, or feeling like the time she spends with him has a deeper intention? Mackenzie was in for a long summer full of hope, heartbreak, heaven, and hell. And Zachariah, he was testing the lines of close proximity and complicated chemistry. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I want to get to know you," he admits, looking into my green eyes as his blue ones twinkle. "To see how you've been, to know the things I've missed out on all these years." I let out a shaky laugh, running my fingers along his collarbone. "And here I thought I was just your kid brother's best friend." "And then you grew up," he replies, tilting my chin to him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HIGHEST RANKINGS: #2 in bad | 12/15/21 #7 in teenfiction | 12/15/21 #4 in school | 12/18/21 #10 in romance | 12/19/21 #1 in close | 12/21/21 #3 in badboy | 01/23/22 #2 in college | 01/23/22
