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

When I pull up to my destination, my nerves are going haywire and I feel like I could puke. I lean my head back, close my eyes, and focus on taking a few deep breaths. When I start feeling more composed and in control of myself, I open my eyes. I quickly get out of my car before I can change my mind or lose my newly restored nerve. 


When I walk in, the familiar and comforting smell instantly hits my nose. It’s too bad that the place has become tainted and I plan on never coming back again if I can help it. I quickly scan the room and see that it’s empty. I hear footsteps walking from the back. A moment later my skin starts wildly tingling and humming. My gaze flicks over to where I heard the footsteps and lands on a devilish smirk and taunting gray eyes. He’s wearing the usual diner shirt and the pants he had on earlier. He has a dishtowel around his neck, his hands holding the ends so I assume that’s what he was doing before I made my arrival.
