Angel's superstar mom has just died in a fire, and she's gone running to the only people she considers family, and settles into life of small-town USA in Boothbay Harbor, Maine.
Enter Conner Grayson. Straight from the front lines of war, and Boothbay's newest addition, the Sheriff, Angel is inexplicably drawn to the enormously muscled man, and has zero clue how to handle her feelings!
Ok, so what if she's still a virgin at thirty? Maybe this would finally be her time to experience some passion!
Instead, Angel finds herself as the target of a mad man hellbent on setting her life on fire and burning it, and everyone in it, to ash!
Will Angel be too distracted by her new romance to notice? Who will save her?
Or will she be strong enough to save herself?
And who will be lost along the way?

Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Complete
