Carolina goes home to her family ranch in Texas for the summer from college. She is expecting a fairly peaceful summer minus her daily arguments with her Ma. Her summer starts to unravel when her boyfriend, Cope, picks up rodeoing. Carolina used to spend every weekend roping at rodeos but hasn't stepped foot near a rodeo ever since what happened last summer. At the first rodeo of the summer Carolina runs into an "old friend," Lukas. The run-in causes Carolina's flashbacks from last summer to begin again and starts to draw her closer to Lukas, but not without Cope noticing. The summer ends up taking a devastating turn and is far from anything Carolina could have predicted; filled with confusion, sorrow, desperation, and reconciliation. Leaving Carolina with hard decisions to make, no matter the answer will leave someone disappointed.

Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault.

That night |☆ BILL KAULITZ ☆
It's the first day after the summerbreak. You sit with your friends at your desk, the teacher walks in with a new student, but then... In this story, I want to address important topics. It's not meant to romanticize it. There won't be any particularly spicy scenes in this story (just a small sex scene). The story is rather dramatic and sad. If something triggers you or makes you sad (due to trauma or something), contact me on Instagram (in my bio) and we can talk about it together. I want to help you with that, and everything will remain private. In summary, this story is about bullying, complicated love, trauma, drugs, selfharm, a little violence and suicide. Even if there is only a small sex scene, I will still set it to mature for the protection of children. Have fun reading! love yall ❤️ ©Isy_kaulitzzzComplete
