Oops, I'm a Teenager Again?
Leila Bowen, 27, is done with adulthood-heartbreak, and the existential dread of it all. She wishes she could just be 17 again-no stress, no drama. Then poof-she wakes up 17. Again. But there's a catch: her 27-year-old mind is stuck in her teenage body, and high school is exactly as awkward as she remembers. Enter Matthew Corbin-ridiculously hot, impossibly familiar, and someone Leila's pretty sure she's never met before. Being 17 again? Yeah, it's not as fun as it sounds-especially when you have the maturity of an adult but the social skills of a 17-year-old. Oops.Complete
His Sunshine | ✓
She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
