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

“Where were you leading me to?” I ask him. “This isn’t going to my class.” 


“And you care about that now, do you?” he asks quirking a brow. 


“I don’t really have a choice if I ever want to leave this place for good.” 


He waves away my words and nods toward the door. “You up for some fun?” he asks with a sly smirk and mischief twinkling in his eyes. 


I look up at him hesitantly but I know I shouldn’t. “Always. But you’re the furthest thing from it.” 


“Ah, come on. Thought we were becoming fast friends here.” 


 I tilt my head and give him a dead look. He reaches behind him and pulls something from his back pocket. He takes a step toward me waving the folded-up assignment in my face. I look at it uninterested. He steps behind me and I can feel how close he is standing to my back. He leans down to my ears, his breath whispering across it. My body quakes with the effort to not shiver. 


“We can get the paper done,” he whispers in a lulling voice.
