Small town
Seventeen-year-old Kara Summers used to believe nothing could ever really break her. Not while her older brother, Logan, was alive. He was her protector, her best friend, the center of their small coastal town-and the captain of the high school baseball team alongside his best friend, Jackson O'Connor. But after Logan dies in a late-night car accident, everything changes. A year later, Kara is still drowning in grief no one seems to understand. Especially not Jackson. The same Jackson who used to sit on her bedroom floor at 2 a.m. when she couldn't sleep. The same Jackson who would give her driving lessons when no one else would. Now he barely looks at her. At school, Jackson is untouchable-star baseball player, reckless smile, everyone's obsession. He walks crowded hallways like nothing hurts him, while Kara is left piecing herself together from the ghost of her brother and the boy who suddenly acts like she means nothing. Caught between heartbreak, grief, and a love that was never supposed to happen, what will Kara do.

Valeria didn't rush. She never did. Inez was pinned beneath her, wrist locked overhead, the hold precise and impersonal. Not pain. Control. Inez scoffed anyway. "That's it?" she sneered. "I've had tutors scarier than you." Valeria said nothing. The silence pressed in. "You don't scare me," Inez added, louder. Brattier. "You just-" "Enough." One word. Flat. Final. Valeria lifted Inez's chin with two fingers, detached as a correction. "Look at me," she said coolly. "If you're going to embarrass yourself, do it properly." Inez laughed, brittle. "You think this makes you powerful?" "I don't think," Valeria replied. "I decide." Her gaze never wavered. "You provoke because it's the last control you have." "I don't belong to you," Inez snapped. Valeria leaned in, voice razor-thin. "You are my wife. You belong to consequences." She released her grip. "Say it." "No." Valeria waited. The quiet broke Inez, she hated being ignored. "...I'll behave, I'll be a good girl" Inez muttered. "Specify." Inez swallowed hard. "...I'll be your good girl" Valeria stepped back, already distant. "Good," she said. "Remember why." #1 older women-13th February (FAST PACE BOOK)
