"I don't like dealing with little girls who get complacent." Lukas' exterior, if it was possible, became colder as he held me against his chest.
"And I don't like dealing with little boys who think they can control me. I've been there, done that, and got the scars to prove it. So just back off." He may have saved my life this evening but that didn't mean I was about to accept his presence in my life. Especially when he thought he had the right to tell me what I can and cannot do.

The Things We Couldn't Forget
Growing up with a nickname like Misery can seem like the worst thing to happen to a girl. That is, until you find out that your father is a serial killer. Ten years after escaping the town that would never allow her to escape her father's dark shadow, Missouri Jacobs returns to Faulkner Montana with one mission in mind. She needs to settle her family's estates, then she can take that money and start a new life, maybe even with a new name, someplace no one knows her or the stories that surrounded her family. However, returning to her childhood home brings back all of the memories Missouri has been spending years trying to forget. And a chance run in with a boy she once loved with all of her heart makes not drowning in those memories over and over even harder. All set to leave, Missouri wants nothing more than to put Faulkner and everything that happened there truly in the past once and for all, but then... Another girl goes missing. Then another. Then another. Wrapped in a fog of déjà vu and separating the present from her past, Missouri is determined not to be blindsided this time. This new killer might be playing games with her, but this time, she's going to be the one to end this all, or she'll die trying.Complete
