_Because rules are made to be broken_
Things are starting to heat up in Miami, Florida. And no, it's not just the sun!
Jenna, an astute doctor and now single mother, travels across the Atlantic with her three young daughters, including her glum teen, Ivy, who has her own guilt to trudge along with her-to find greener pastures and start a new chapter in their lives. But it's not all that easy as they'd hoped. So it's time to set some rules.
Ivy's list is slightly accomplishable, if only Kyle could stop tempting her with stolen kisses:
*Avoid Kyle "Dino" Stone at all costs. He may be gorgeous, but you've got a friendship at stake!
Jenna's "Reasons why I shouldn't fall in love with Dr. Wright" list is a lot more complex:
*I've only been widowed for about a year.
*I'm ordinary and he's practically Zeus.
*I have my family to think of.
*He might break my heart...
It's so difficult to be good with temptation knocking on the door. But rules are rules. And just maybe, dreaming blue dreams, a wish is a kiss that just might come true 💖🌠!

Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete
