Between her horrible family and the constant obstacles she faces with people from her past, Kenna is willing to take any distraction she can.

But Wes finds it difficult to stay focused when all he can think about is the girl who he keeps running into. Wes is well aware that Kenna doesn't want to settle down, Wes is also aware he wants Kenna to be able to describe the word "Love" and he wants to be the reason she can.

Hot Summer Nights (EXCERPT ONLY) by LA202413

When Leah first hooked up with Landon, she thought it would be a one time thing. Once turned into twice, turned into countless times. Now, she's wondering if it's all been worth it. Has she been wasting her time with someone who will never want anything more? After all, Landon has never been one to settle down with anybody, why would he start now? He's the guy you call for a fun time, not a serious relationship. Leah isn't even sure that word is in his vocabulary. Maybe it's time to break off their whatever-you-call-it and find someone who knows what the word serious means. Landon has always been the "fun-time guy", the one you call if you're looking for a party or a one-night stand. He's never thought twice about that label or what it might mean for his future in the romance department. Hell, he never thought he'd think the word romance until one decision on a fateful summer night proved how quickly things could change. He'd always imagined hooking up with Leah. She was sexy, single, sassy- everything he thought was important in a woman. Landon never actually expected her to say yes when he jokingly suggested they have some fun late one summer night. After that, everything changed. He couldn't get enough of her. The more time they spent together, the more he wanted to be around her, and strange new feelings started to bloom in his chest. Is it love, or something else? And would it be enough to show Leah how he's changed, or would it send her running faster toward the hills? Find out soon in Hot Summer Nights.
