A year ago, Skylar McCauleys life took a turn for the worst, leaving her in need a of change. For a while, California seemed to be that change.

Skylars old life and the need for closure, brings her home and reunites her with her friends and family. Unfortunately, the one person that matters most to her isn't overly thrilled to see her. Her best friend from the beginning, Asher Reynolds.

Asher has denied Skylars existence for the past year. He's still holding on to the hurt and anger her departure left him with and isn't anywhere near ready to forgive her yet or so he thinks. The problem is, Skylars return brings back feelings he thought had long since disappeared, and makes him question the decision he made before she left. 

Can the two make amends or will almost two decades of friendship be washed down the drain?
And if they do, could it end up being something more?

However, it soon becomes apparent that their friendship isn't the only thing that could be in danger. There is someone out there who is still blaming Skylar for what happened, as much as she blames herself. Someone is intent on scaring her and doing her as much harm as possible, even if it means killing her. 

With her life, and the lives of those she cares about in danger, Skylar finds things spiralling out of control once more. After several strange and frightening experiences, Skylar realises that not everything is as it seems. They run much deeper and further then the events of the year before and secrets soon come to the fore. Ones that could change her life even more. That's if she manages to survive!

-If my memory serves correctly, it's been 12 hours since I was kidnapped.- * * * Haley Parker had everything. The perfect family, friends, boyfriend - what more could she want? If only she had learned to be a little more cautious when turning her back to the earth's shadows. Just as things may be falling into place in her life as an adult, she suddenly finds herself across the country, away from home, from everything she's ever known, with nothing but unfamiliar places and her kidnapper not too far away. But perhaps she isn't completely ripped away from everything familiar to her. When Griffin Johnson, her previous boyfriend before he moved 3000 miles away to the west coast, finds her wasted in a bar in California, he knows something is very wrong. And when Haley can't remember a thing, they're both left in the dark as her kidnapper continues to lurk nearby ready to strike again - this time without the intention of messing up. Will they figure out who Haley's kidnapper is and capture him? Or will she return home without her memory of that night, the knowledge of who turned her life upside down, or even her one true love? * * * -An American poet by the name of Walt Whitman once said, “Keep your face towards the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you.” If only I learned not to take things so literally maybe I wouldn’t be in the mess I am right now. It didn’t even matter that I was carrying my so-called ‘trusty’ pocket knife.- Sequel to Not His. (A Shorter Story)

It does have around 40 chapters so it might not seem like it. But trust me that it is.] ||Full Disclosure|| I started the book in the end of 8th grade so it needs MAJOR editing. It also does have Sexual Chapters, as well as people of the same sex being together, murder, brutally torture talk of rape and sexual harassment. So if you do not wish to read things like that then this unfortunately isn't the book for you. ||You Have Been Warned|| First book in the Heart series. •Do Not Copy This Book In Anyway•
