It does have around 40 chapters so it might not seem like it. But trust me that it is.] ||Full Disclosure|| I started the book in the end of 8th grade so it needs MAJOR editing. It also does have Sexual Chapters, as well as people of the same sex being together, murder, brutally torture talk of rape and sexual harassment. So if you do not wish to read things like that then this unfortunately isn't the book for you. ||You Have Been Warned|| First book in the Heart series. •Do Not Copy This Book In Anyway•Complete

20 Questions
She had amazing parents, good role models, a normal, happy childhood, and dreams of saving the world...until an ugly twist of fate changed everything. She wasn't meant to lose her best friend to addiction. Holidays with the family were supposed to be magical, not obligatory. Every song, every building, every street had a memory attached to it...memories that weren't supposed to sever her heart. This wasn't the life she envisioned growing up. In desperate need of rest, relaxation and self-discovery, Jenna loaded a plane, destined for Aspen. She was going to salvage the girl she lost along the way. She'd find that fire inside of her that had been extinguished by heartache. Hunter had lived a hard life - abused, neglected, discarded and hardened. There were no bedtime stories growing up with loving parents, no family vacations, nothing to be excited about and nothing to live for. With his revenge-seeking father's upcoming prison release hanging above his head, Hunter knew his days were limited and he had accepted it. He wasn't looking ahead, not for happiness or love anyway. Until he saw her. Fate had brought them together. Passion consumed them. She brought the sass and he brought the danger. He began to see a life with her that he didn't believe he deserved. She found her purpose - heal him, love him, give him the gift of family and unconditional love. They went to Aspen in search of peace and an escape from the hometown heartache...but they found love along the way. 20 Questions is a story of unbreakable love, redemption, and overcoming tragedy. It's about blocking out the corruption in the world so you can see the virtuous. It's a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud tale of how love can keep us together when the world is viciously trying to pull us part. Love wins. It always wins.Complete
Irresistible
I looked up at the man in front of me. He was HOT. But he was also forbidden fruit. He was Alex's brother for God's sake! My boyfriend's brother, none the less. I shouldn't feel at all attracted to him, but the way he was looking at me right now... This wasn't right. He leaned closer though. I was losing all control right then. He pressed his lips to my jaw and my mind went completely blank, like it always does when he was this close. This was wrong. This was wrong. I knew it, but I couldn't bring myself to find the reason. Then it came to me. Alex. Alex would be angry. Now I seemed like a whore. Another kiss, on my neck this time, and another thought slipped away. This is still wrong... Why though? Think Beatrice! Alex came to mind again. Alex came to mind again. I knew there were more reasons than that, but I couldn't think of them at the moment. He moved his lips again, this time peppering kisses across my collarbone and he stopped at the hollow of my throat. I gasped softly. Now my mind was empty. I wasn't even thinking clearly. The only thought that passed my mind was that I wanted more of this. More of him.Complete
