"I thought about running away, setting off to see the world before I couldn't see anything at all. 

I had never been out of the country. I wanted to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, see the castles in Prague, ride a gondola in Venice. I wanted to do something crazy and fall in love and have my heart broken and then do it all over again. 

But then the bell rang, and I just got up and walked to my next class."

~*~

Blake Summers was always the poster child for good girl perfection: she had straight As, never got into trouble, and followed rules to a fault. 

But before the start of her senior year of high school, Blake receives life-changing news: she's going blind. 

Her diagnosis forces Blake to confront the fact that she's tired of playing it safe. She wants to truly see the world, take risks, and be anything but predictable before her vision fades completely.

Enter Dash Wolfe, Blake's classmate: his reputation as a rebellious troublemaker precedes him everywhere he goes. As Dash becomes interested in Blake, she finds herself intoxicated by his fearlessness.

Will Blake succumb to Dash's temptation, ruining her good girl reputation? Will she find the adventure she's been looking for before her sight is gone? Or will their reckless choices lead to disaster?

𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗯𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻. 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲. Blake Laurent is a 18-year-old teenage girl who enjoys partying and isn't hesitant to express her needs and wants. She's confident in her desires and doesn't seem interested in anything other than physical intimacy. She may have a flirty personality, but that doesn't mean she lacks compassion. After a year away, she returns from Europe to her childhood town and meets an even greater mystery than herself. 𝗠𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀. 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸. 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲. Chase Scott isn't your typical bad boy from high school, as he appears entirely disinterested in everything, such as committed relationships and, unlike Blake, anything sexual. He hates talking about himself, has a temper, is usually annoyed, and is somewhat of a drug addict, yet his eyes disguise frightening secrets from his troubled past. And when the two of them cross paths, Blake feels an intense attraction to Chase and is unable to understand why he keeps pushing her away, which makes her even more drawn to him. For him, it's a constant battle within his mind. Blake is undoubtedly one of the most stunning women he has ever seen, but she is also the younger sister of one of his best friends, and he doesn't want to get involved with that. With anything, in fact, as he's been through a lot and has difficulty communicating his emotions. ⚠️ 𝗧𝗪 / 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝘅𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲, 𝗱𝗿𝘂𝗴 𝘂𝘀𝗲, 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗮 𝗲𝘁𝗰

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights. He has countless tattoos covering his body. And he doesn't care about anything or anyone else. Layla Stevens is your average seventeen year-old girl, just trying to get through high school, with the friends she loves and doing the things she loves. When these two cross paths accidentally in an unusual way, they leave and never expect to speak to each other again. But fate has other plans. Layla finds her way into Reece's life and Reece doesn't know what to do about it. This ray of Sunshine suddenly meant something to him. She understood him when it seemed like no one else did. And he protected her from everyone who tried to hurt His Sunshine. Get ready for a story filled with bad pick-up lines, twin telepathy and a lot of fighting. Like, a LOT. Thanks for that one, Reece.

He tips my head toward his with his index finger, keeping my eyes trained on him and driving me crazy with the primal look on his face. His grey eyes look heavy, filled with dark desire, and a shock runs up through my core. Everything around us disappears and all I can sense is him and the hardness pressing between my legs. "What are you doing to me, River?" he whispers, his voice raspy and utterly captivated. His face is lowering and I'm closing my eyes, waiting for soft lips to press against mine. My whole body is on fire as I hold my breath for his touch. ♔ Everyone in River Avelle's hometown knows about Grayson Maddox - the troubled badboy who almost killed another student in the middle of the school hallway. Those who look into Grayson's eyes only see pure fury and hatred. They all think he's beyond redemption, even Grayson himself. But not River. As the seemingly perfect good girl, River saw something more in those alluring grey eyes. Something worth holding onto. From the first time their eyes connect, both Grayson and River feel the intense, undeniable attraction between them...but neither of them understand what's pulling them together so fiercely. The closer they get and the more vulnerable they become, River has to wonder: is she saving Grayson from his darkness? Or is she just pulling him further into hers? ♔ cover by : @strayinspace
