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

 After school, I went straight to the gym and made it on time for once. When training had come to an end, Riley had messaged me inviting me back to the Leisure Club. When he mentioned Amy would be there, I decided I had no desire to be the third wheel and turned his offer down. Then, Reid mentioned tagging along since he was planning on being there anyway. Two hours later, I’m walking into the club, my eyes searching around. 


 Instead of finding them, my eyes land on him. Ashford. He glances up from his pool table after hitting a ball and sinking two of them. He’s wearing his black cap and it shields most of his face. But I still manage to see the flicker of a smile. My heart lurches at the sight and I just want to rip the damn thing straight out of my chest. I feel a hand wrap around my arm and jerk away until I realize it’s just Riley. 


“Where’s Amy?” I ask, trying to make the look on his face disappear. 


“About to be coming in. She told me she likes me.”
