Jess Donovan wants a better life than the one she was born to, but how do you figure how what you want when life has never been anything but a series of hurdles? A sexy series about figuring out what you want by falling in love, trying life on, and uncovering the secrets that have held you back for a lifetime. 

Warning! This is a story with frank sex, meant for more mature readers. 

***** 
19-year-old Jess knows better than most that life is random. Her mom is dead, and she's on her own, patching together a living as a waitress when a car crashes through the restaurant where she works. In two seconds, she loses her job, watches her best friend hauled away in an ambulance...and meets ex-Olympic hopeful snowboarder Tyler Smith, one of the hottest, most fascinating-and mysterious guys she's ever met. 

Within days, Jess is swept up into the mesmerizing force that is Tyler. Their every touch sizzles, every kiss dissolves them both, and the sex is...fierce. But there's more to Tyler than his hypnotic eyes. He's adrift, too, and his body-and his soul-are covered with scars. How can she find herself with a guy who is lost himself?
