Fallen Siblings, Book One
She was supposed to survive college. Not fall in love.
Arianna Malik is barely holding it together. Between university deadlines, a wild dream to become a fashion designer and a past she doesn't speak of-there's no room for distractions. Especially not the kind with cocky smiles and stupidly gorgeous brown eyes.
Adrian King is college royalty. Star athlete. Future NBA draft pick. And utterly off-limits.
But when they collide, it's not fireworks-it's fire. He sees past the polished surface to the girl who flinches when someone touches her wrist. She sees the boy with pressure on his shoulders and something honest in his gaze. What starts as shared glances and quiet moments becomes something deeper-something terrifying.
Because Arianna wasn't meant to fall. Not again. Not after what happened. But maybe love doesn't wait for permission. Maybe it shows up, unexpectedly, right when your walls start to crack.
And maybe, just maybe... this time, she gets to choose what comes next.

She actually never planned to date. And after a few bad experiences, she knew why. To her, guys were just immature and never knew what they wanted until the one they felt they needed was already gone, and she didn't have time for the drama. But, after one great moment with Samuel Davis, University of Southern California's hottest male student, and their star basketball player, she thinks she may have a change of heart. What will happen after these two have a few interactions? Will Adri give LOVE a chance, or will she remain the same? Copyright © 2016 by Kayla AngelComplete

Did I just purr at an officer that looks like a chocolate version of Homer Simpson? Okay calm down Adrian. Think, think, think! God if you're listening to me right now I'm sorry for stealing Britney Taylor's chocolate bar in third grade and I'm sorry for telling stinky Meli that no matter how many sample perfume magazines she rubbed on herself, she will still stink like donkey shit. Oh and I'm sorry for having sex with Conner Rossi in the locker room instead of being in Biology, wait I only half regret that because the way he used his...had me...Okay Adrian so not the time. Alright - God, well I'm sorry for being a douche bag but if you're still listening could you please poof Officer Crowley away?
