(Book 2) *Contains spoilers below* "I needed more closure than what you gave me." I half lied. "It feels like an open wound someone keeps pouring salt on." His expression remained hard and cold. Almost distant. "I don't know what you want from me, Willow. You coming here isn't closing any wounds, it's just opening up old ones." I let out a sigh and rubbed my hands over my face. "I just needed to see you, okay? It's a relief to know you're even alive right now." I was begging myself not to cry. Noah shifted a little and folded his arms against his chest. "I don't know what you want me to say." "Anything is better than nothing." I said as I took a step closer. "I missed you. A lot." He peeked from under the mess of curls falling over his eyes. "You want me to tell you I missed you too? Is that what you're doing here?" I clenched my jaw shut and curled my fingers into fists at my sides. "I don't want anything from you." Scott isn't gone...yet. But he still refuses to let Noah go without harming anyone Noah cares about. It's been nine months since Scott took Noah under his wing and moved away from California. Willow hasn't seen either of them since the night Noah left with the promise to come back. When Willow finds Noah, she didn't expect what she finds. Noah's completely transformed into something she never thought she would see again. Besides the arrogant, obnoxious attitude, came countless tattoos, a ring through his lip, and a new name. With Scott still lingering and Noah's new found attitude, there's bound to be a little trouble. Way more than Willow bargained for. And maybe, just maybe, Scott isn't the real enemy.

So he had to find a building in close proximity to Grey House. He finally saw the building opened today. They are moving in within the month after everything is given an okay by building inspectors. Elliott did all the work. Carrick helped push the sale through. The owners kids were fighting over rights to it after their parents died. Two long years and Grey finally got it. He wants to make a name in publishing as well. He thinks they write enough about him he can write as well. How to fall prey to your mothers friend. Elena Lincoln has came up missing after being found sexually assaulting a child in her dungeon. Warrants were served to any place her name was associated with. Including mine. Good thing they found nothing at mine. Taylor got a heads up and we got busy. Money gets things done. Mom is crushed, I had to admit to my family what Elena had done to me. I cut her off a year ago. But she had paperwork with the GEH contracts. Mia spit in her face as she was being taken into court. Grace has been depressed over it all. I have a new doctor and she is hot, but married. Genny Rivera. Mom now sees her as well. So this is one of the bad years. Anastasia Steele I am an employee at SIP we were bought out last year. Some updates were coming but haven't yet. I work with a lot of editors and am now a junior editor. They hired a new H R person just before they hired her friend. I don't like either of them. Elizabeth Morgan and Jack Hyde. Both give all of us the creeps.
Wicked Hearts by keminx

Alexis "Lex" Navarro doesn't play by anyone's rules-especially not men. Confident, fearless, and unapologetically bold, she's the storm that everyone knows not to mess with. She's got a sharp tongue, a killer instinct, and a penchant for causing chaos wherever she goes. No man has ever been able to hold her attention for long-until Callum "Cal" Hayes walks into her world. Cal is the exact opposite of the type she's used to-quiet, calculated, and a master of watching rather than acting. As a former boxer turned businessman with a dark, unspoken past, he's got an air of danger that's impossible to ignore. And when Lex steps into his underground poker game, throwing off every expectation, Cal can't look away. She's got the confidence of someone who owns the world, but something about her makes him want to break every rule he's ever set for himself. The slow-burn tension between them becomes undeniable, and their games of power, control, and mutual obsession blur the lines between hate and something darker, more dangerous. As an old rival from Cal's past resurfaces, threatening everything Cal has built, Lex is caught in the crossfire-except Lex doesn't run. She doesn't need saving, and she'll fight to the end to prove it. But Cal's protective instincts are on overdrive, and he'll do whatever it takes to keep her out of harm's way-even if it means breaking his own heart in the process. Lex isn't the type to be coddled, and Cal isn't the type to let her go. The question is-will their obsession with each other destroy them, or will they be forced to confront the flames they've both been dancing with all along? *Wicked Hearts* is a story of fire and ice, passion and power, and the slow-burning tension between two people who are constantly on the edge of crossing a line they never expected to cross.

#13 in kotlc She only smiled up at him wading out deeper into the water. "I'm gonna go deeper than you," she teased. "In the water, or in our relationship?" He flirted back, taking after her. Sophie didn't think before she spoke. "Maybe both," she blurted, feeling her cheeks grow hot. Covering up her embarrassment although he could feel it anyway, she went deeper, only her toe tips touching the sand. [This book is PG-13 tho, I promise] --------------------------------------------- Matchmaker scrolls arrive just in time, and Sophie has the most difficult decision to make. Keefe and Fitz are two of her favorite guys around. Whatever she chooses, she is going to hurt at least one of them. ----------------------------------------------- Almost all of the characters belong to Shannon Messenger's Keeper of the Lost Cities series. Please don't plagiarize. I have to say that this does include more Sokeefe than Sophitz.
