"You remember me?" I question.

"I could never forget a name like yours, Azuka." He says. The moonlight danced in his low eyes, making them look like sparkling emeralds.

His intense gaze traveled from my eyes down my body, then fixed on my ass.
"Or a body."

...And the moment is gone.

"How sweet." Rolling my eyes as I turn my body to lean my back against the railing in an attempt to break his lewd incessant starting, trying to ignore the heat it invokes throughout my body.

"You shouldn't stare," I say when his eyes follow my movement.

"Hmm," He hums and takes another sip from his drink. "I have a feeling you don't mind when it's MY eyes on you." He says, stalking closer to me.

Azuka Okoye is coming back to her hometown, New York City, after moving to Texas 4 years ago when her Dad got a great job opportunity. After her father died a few months ago, all she has is her Mom and older brother. Coming back to everything is familiar but daunting with so many new things; dealing with the loss of her father, the new and old people, and navigating through her senior year of high school.

She is pretty quiet- but never timid. She never lets people too close, never lets them see her vulnerable until.....

Tiago Sinclair is not the "typical rich playboy"; he isn't always brooding and dark....on the outside. Everyone sees him as the confident, upbeat golden boy. His arrogant exterior shields bruises and darkness in his life, majorly accredited to his horrible father and the death of his mother over 3 years ago.

Nothing makes him sweat until.... the only girl he ever loved, since the 7th grade, unexpectedly shows up to his 18th birthday party.
