When Declin Ostrander arrives in Lickskillet, South Carolina, he encounters a town on edge: a horrible hate crime has taken place in the richest gated community and the citizens have adopted extreme caution and political correctness. The lynching coincides with a series of strange occurrences, as well as the arrival of a corporate lawyer to defend the accused-a lawyer who happens to be Declin's father.

Although the story imagines the South as a mix of heritage groups, social segregation, and corrupt politics, at the center stand the disaffected and aloof teens of Lickskillet whom Declin befriends as they crusade against the humid hum of boredom with reckless mischievousness, post-modern apathy, and an attempt at redeeming humanity.

"Why did it end terribly?" His jaw clenched while contemplating whether to tell me or not "Because I was distracted." I raised an eyebrow in confusion "Distracted by what?" He looked at me directly in the eyes before answering, "You." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Avery is beautiful, carefree and outspoken. Well, she used to be. She used to thrive on adrenaline and the only way she could fulfil that need was by riding her motorcycle. Avery hasn't exactly lived the best life. With a violent ex-boyfriend, her father deserting them at a young age and her mum constantly high alongside her new husband, Avery and her sister Alena have grown up in a messy and violent environment. Determined to give her sister a proper upbringing, they escape to a new town and start a new life together, giving up on everything she loved in the process. Afraid of her past coming back to haunt her, she refuses to let anyone into her life. Her only focus is to look after her sister and get through senior year. That is until she meets Jaxon Asher who comes crashing into her life, popular amongst his peers who is also well known in the racing scene. Avery is convinced he is like every other man who's crossed paths with her. Will he prove her fears right and confirm that all men are the same; abusive and controlling or will he show her that there is still love left in this world? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Copyright: © 2016 Claireaabell All rights reserved.

'"You're a liar. You're a dirty fucking liar," I sob. Despite the fact that I want nothing more than to run away from the man standing in front of me, I know that my grip on his hands is the only thing that's keeping me stable right now. "I didn't lie, sweetheart. I just avoided the topic. If you had figured it out before, I would have told you everything," he claims, pleading with me. I shake my head frantically at him, trying to get the images and thoughts out of my head. "I feel betrayed," I choke. "I don't know if I'll be able to trust you ever again." 🌸🌸🌸 Bryce Bradshaw and Lexi Brooks are living their dream together in New York City.
