Ryder Russo. But most people call her 'Temper'. Tough. Rebellious. Much more of a fighter than a lover. Literally. She has a number of suspensions. Along with major anger issues. She has a past that she hides and a mask to shield her emotions everyday. She's a girl who doesn't take shit from anyone.
Grayson Jones. Player. Badass. Can make any girl fall for him in an instant. No one dares to question him. No one dares to stand up to him. He has trust issues. Along with a horrible at home life. He's a boy who won't let anyone in.
This is not your typical love story. Where a shy nerd falls for a bad ass player, and they end up falling in love. Nope. This story contains hate, anger, and a lot of eye rolls.
Can a few secrets and revealing nights change their views on one another, or will they both continue to hide secrets that are never meant to come out?
For these two head butting teens, love is a fight.

Fighting For us 2 'Becoming Her'
Book 1: The Girl Who Survived Book 2: Becoming her A year after escaping the chaos of her past, including a toxic relationship. Candice swore she was done with love. University was supposed to be a fresh start - no heartbreaks, no lies, no more saving anyone but herself. But the moment she meets Ryder, everything she's built begins to crumble. He's everything she promised to stay away from - confident, protective, infuriatingly persistent. Yet there's something about him she can't ignore. He waits for her when she pushes him away. He saves her when she doesn't realize she needs saving. And no matter how hard she tries, she can't deny the pull between them. Ryder sees the pain she hides, the fear behind her smile, and he refuses to walk away. He's jealous, stubborn, and far too patient for his own good - but to Candice, he feels like light in a world that's always been dark. Still, she's terrified to let him in. Terrified he'll find out the truth about where she's been and what she's survived. Will Ryder be the one to break through her walls - or will her past destroy the only real love she's ever known? Can Candice stop fighting her feelings and start fighting for them instead?

Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️
"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night.
