"You think I don't care about you?" he murmurs.
"You think I don't feel anything?"
"I-Noel-"
His voice is low enough to weaken me.
"I feel everything when it comes to you. That's the fucking problem."
When her best friend disappears without a trace, Lily arrives at college carrying more questions than answers.
Raised by former detectives, she knows one rule: nothing vanishes without reason.
What she doesn't expect is him - charming, guarded, and always one step ahead of the truth.
As clues surface and feelings deepen, she begins to realize the person she's falling for may be the one who knows exactly what happened to her best friend.
Some secrets are buried.
Others are sleeping beside you.

BOOK #1 of 'Forever Collection': But why did he even listen to me when I told him not to talk to me? Why couldn't he have thought about the whole friendship he was throwing away? And for what? Just because he wanted to respect my decision? Or did he just not care? Maybe it was just him trying to get rid of me... That thought alone made me even angrier, and I wanted to hurt him now. Now that I understood our past and remembered what I needed to remember to put the pieces together, I was even more upset. My train of thought cut short when he spoke: "Stay away from him." He warned. "Why? It's not like you care." I muttered. "What?!" He shouted and I flinched. "I said, it's not like you care!" He walked towards me, his footsteps boomed against the floor, scaring me so much I felt dizzy. I take quick steps back, but he reaches me before I get to the door. "You drive me crazy Heather." He muttered, before he crashed his lips on mine. *** Ethan Devan is back from England with his family. But after so long, will he still remember what he felt for Heather? She remembers him like there was nothing else that mattered. But his unrequited love caused their drift. He'll always be her forever, but for how long until he remembers her?

His Sweet Lies
Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her. They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface.

I wanted to reply but I couldn't, I couldn't just make out words right now. Was I perhaps considering it? What is wrong with me?!

His presence was doing something to me! Everywhere was suddenly so quiet. Where is everyone?! Few seconds later, his face was inches away from mine, I just hope it wasn't what I was thinking. Every foward motion he took, I equally took a step backwards till I felt my back hit against one of the lockers. I could have pulled out. I could have pushed him away. I could have walked away.

I could already feel his body heat... •••••• Book #1 of the Downer Sisters Series. CAN BE READ AS A STAND ALONE BOOK!Complete
