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

My hands itch to facepalm myself when I realize I just thought about Ashford being out of my league, and gotten caught gawking at him. He glances over his shoulder to the person at his table, his mouth moving as he tells them something. A guy stands up from his seat and Ashford watches him disappear into a crowd of people before returning his attention to me. He strides over, enjoying my discomfort as I think about trying to make a run for it. concluding that I wouldn’t be able to get away if he didn’t want me to. My insides clench at the thought. 


“Well, well,” he teases, his voice thickly coated with amusement. “Can’t get enough of me during the day so you find me here?” 


He slides into Riley’s vacant seat across from me and stretches his long arms across the table, twirling my water in his hands and spreading the condensation on the table.
