Joy, pain, and heartache. They come, piece by piece, without warning, no matter what you do. But will it ever get better?
Blair used to believe that things would never change. After all, she had a habit of falling too quickly, giving her heart away, only to watch it shatter in pieces every time. But that was before she moved back to Sydney, after years of living in New York.
Having lost her mother and with no father in the picture, Blair's only family left was her older brother, Austin. So, she returned home to live with him, spending the final summer of her 11th grade year in a place she barely remembered. Starting grade 12 in a new town was the perfect chance for her to reset-focus on her studies, make a fresh start, and keep her heart locked up.
That is, until Grayson-Austins's best friend-walked into her life. Grayson's charm and intensity throw Blair's world into chaos as she breaks the one rule that was drilled into her from the start: Don't date your brother's best friend.
But when the undeniable chemistry between them builds, will they be able to keep their distance? Or will the tension between Blair and Grayson consume everything in its path?

The Boy Next Door
His faint laugh stopped me in my tracks, my body turning sightly to look at him again. "That was cute. Really, I loved it, but you know I can't just stay away." He said while using air quotations for the last part of his sentence. My narrowed eyes continued to shoot daggers at him, "and why is that, Grayson? Huh?" I asked in a mocking tone. He rubbed along his jaw while pulling in on his bottom lip, his head lightly shaking from side to side. "What?" I said louder, my patience long gone. "I live right next door," he deadpanned, "I'm not going anywhere. As far as I'm concerned we're gonna be seeing each other practically every day, so this whole thing about staying away just isn't going to work for you. I don't let things I love go so easily."

He had never stared at me so fervently before, but it was everything I had yearned for and instantly made me wet for him. As I locked up his other hand, I pouted at him. "This is the punishment you get for making me want you," I purred. Then straddling his hips, I slid my hand inside my panties and began touching myself.
