Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both.

I yelled but before I could breathe in I was pinned to the wall. I gasped. Staring into his dark blue eyes made every bone of my body weak. He smirked, knowing exactly what he did. "You got too comfortable with me, doll but I didn't show you what Ace can really do." He mumbled. He broke the eye contact we were having and leaned closer to my neck. My heart beat was racing his and each breath he took sent electricity all over my body. I bit my tongue, scared of what my brain could make me say. "And I don't think you want to know," he whispered so close to my ear sending shivers down my spine. I took a deep breath, trying to collect my thoughts. He moved back to stare into my eyes, wanting to see his effect on me but I didn't give it to him. I smirked, pushed my chin down and looked up at him. "You're all talk, Ace," I whispered, not even blinking. I saw the gulp that rose in his throat, growing my smirk.

"Breathtakingly beautiful."he whispers against my ear. I can hear the anticipation in his voice. His lips crash up against mine, this being my first kiss I just stay their without movement. He gently tugs at my bottom lip and I gasp. His tongue takes that as a chance and it slides into my mouth, he tastes like peppermint. His tongue moves gracefully, my body takes over and it begins to rock against his chest making Kane groan like a beast. "Yes mama rock for me." he growls into my mouth and I obey his commands. ◊ • ◊ • ◊ Obstacles and mountains were crossed by them, but there will always be another problem to solve, Because if not this would not be reality. ѕнє ωαѕи'т αωαяє вυт ѕнє ωαѕ αℓωαуѕ, h̾i̾g̾h̾ fσя нιм. ◊ • ◊ • ◊ тнєу ωєяє вσтн вяσкєи. ѕσ тнєу ℓєт тнє h̾i̾g̾h̾ ¢σиѕυмє тнєм. ◊ • ◊ • ◊ ⚠️This book contains: Sexual scenes, and harsh language.

A quiet job in a quiet town, a routine that never hurt, and a heart too careful to fall for anyone too fast. But then he walked in. The new hire. Mysterious. Impossibly attractive. He had the smile of a gentleman and the presence of a man who'd burn the world to keep your attention. He said all the right things. Held doors. Knew how to make her laugh. And when he looked at her-it felt like she was the only girl in the universe. But love, she learns, can be blinding. And not all monsters hide in shadows. Some wear suits. Some call you "baby." Some hold you like you're a prayer-then break you like a curse. Because he has secrets. Dark ones. Dangerous ones. The kind of truths that can't be buried without blood. So now the real question is... Will she uncover who he truly is-before it's too late? Can love survive when it's soaked in lies and obsession? And when she finally sees the monster behind the man... Will she run? Or will she stay?

Cove Bentley. River Smith. Two complete opposites. While Cove has lots of friends, a great personality and an innocent aurora; River is cold, reserved, cruel, and most importantly, absolutely terrifying. River is the type of person everyone stirs away from, but somehow Cove is able to look past his reputation and win over his heart. River is quick to put his claim on Cove, and anyone who tries to interfere with their relationship ends up....not doing so well. Everything is perfect, River is the protective and caring boyfriend that everyone needs. Cove is the loyal and adorable girlfriend that everyone wants. But there's no such thing as perfect. When the truth about River's secret, or not so secret life reveals itself, will it scare Cove enough to run for the hills? Will their happy relationship be enough to make her stay? Warning: Mild cursing and violence. Also the story moves pretty quickly at the beginning, and there's a bit smut. All pictures belong to their rightful owners.
