FIND FULL BOOK ON INKITT
Twenty-four-year-old Aster Pryce was stuck in a vicious cycle of loss and destruction that followed her everywhere she went. It started with the loss of her parents at only 17 years old. Not long after, she met her boyfriend, Hunter Mathers, who she thought was her saving grace, but he proved he was the complete opposite. He abused her in more ways than one, and finally, after losing her job and ending up in the hospital, she decided to leave everything behind in LA for good.
Moving from one big city to another wasn't the difficult part, but everything was completely different in many ways. In this strange, new place, Aster found that not everything was as it seemed, but she liked it that way. She needed a fresh start, and the move certainly did it for her. She met so many new people, one of whom was a man she would never forget.
Even if Aster met him somewhere else, in a different life or universe, somehow, she would remember him: his tall stature, his intentional tenderness, the cherry taste on his lips, his intoxicating scent, and especially the sound of his sultry voice when he said, "Look at me."

Stephanie Walker, a straight-A student, sweet,pretty, and every parent's dream.
What happens when her simple life clashes with the golden boy on her senior year trip?
Her last year in high school wasn't going to be as simple as she thought.
"Don't let me catch you, cupcake." His voice boomed from downstairs. And I ran looking for where to hide.
I shielded myself behind a pole and tried to calm my nerves.
Way to go, Stephanie, my subconscious mind chimed in.
I held my breath as I heard his footsteps.
"Where are you cupcake?" he asked, and I scoffed internally. Like I would tell him where I am.
I waited for a few seconds, and I heard nothing. I felt a hand snake around my waist, and I didn't need to turn around to know who it was.
"Found you." He whispered into my ear, and a shiver ran down my spine.
"How?" I breathed, turning around to face him. And he smirked, knowing the effect he had on me.
'Get your shits together, fool.' I mentally scolded myself.
"Do you really want a real or sugarcoated explanation?" he asked, and I gave him a pointed look.
"I could smell you a mile away." He whispered, putting a lock of my hair behind my ear, and butterflies fluttered in my stomach.
This guy is going to be the death of me.
"That is the sugarcoated version." He said, and I blinked a few times.
I glared hard at him. "The pole didn't hide you well. I could see your cardigan peeking out." He said, and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Now, time for my revenge." He whispered.
I had a confused look on while he had his infamous smirk on. This can't be good! I felt something trickle down my body. I wiped my face and glared daggers at him.
He didn't just pour flour on me even though I did the same.
Isn't he supposed to be the mature one in this relationship?
Putting on a poker face. "Mature much!" I said and walked away from him, pretending to be angry.
Time for acting!
"Come on babe, you can't ..."
This book is amazing, so y'all BETTER TRY IT OUT!
