Natalie had always been a fairly happy girl with a life that she was content with. At least until six months ago when her lifelong best friend, with who she had shared everything with up until that point, suddenly decided that they needed to end their friendship with no warning. The life that she had known and loved shattered around her, taking her with it. Now, she's closed herself off from everyone around her and made a vow to herself to never let anyone in again in an effort to never have to go through that pain again.
For six months, her plan had gone smoothly and seemed fail-proof. That is until Riley, who happens to be way too handsome and charming for his own good, abruptly finds his way into her life and flips her world upside down. No matter how much she pushes him away and tries to keep her vow, she keeps finding herself in situations that could ruin everything she's worked so hard for. The more she's around him and is struck by the light he brings into the world, the harder it becomes to keep her vow, and herself, safe. Her life starts to spin out of her control as she tries to figure out what Riley really wants, who he really is, and why her gut keeps telling her that there is more to him than she could ever imagine.
As if her plate wasn't already full enough, she's also troubled with trying to figure out why Colton has been acting the way he has and why he really left her. Natalie's life has become anything but simple. But it can only go up from here, right? Wrong. The catastrophic rollercoaster that has become her life has only just begun. Will Natalie ever be able to let down the walls guarding her heart or will she miss out on any

Remember Me

His eyes travel slowly over my entire body again. He lets out a breath and hovers back over me before taking a hand and stroking my face. He trails it down to my neck, my arm, my sides, down my leg, then runs it back up over my stomach and to my chest, caressing and stroking every inch of my body. I can’t tell if he’s testing the waters or admiring me, but it feels nice. 


“You are so perfect and beautiful,” he whispers, almost groaning. 


I smile, flattered that he thinks that of me and that I have this much of an effect on him. He bends his head down to mine and places a gentle, lingering kiss on my lips before moving back to my neck, kissing and sucking all over my neck and ear. His hands move to one of my breasts and cups it before taking a finger and tracing circles around my nipple, making them pucker and a gasp escape from me. I feel him smile in between his kisses and how ready he is by the hardness that’s poking into me.
