I love her. After all these years, I admit to it. Something I’ve been denying my entire life. But it’s true. I can’t imagine a life without her. I barely have any memories she isn’t in. We’ve had more sleepovers than I can count. Our adventures started small and have escalated over time. She’s been my partner in crime since we were kids. We’ve been friends forever. Things with her have always been easy. Until we grew up. I noticed her body changing first. Then came the makeup... moreI love her. After all these years, I admit to it. Something I’ve been denying my entire life. But it’s true. I can’t imagine a life without her. I barely have any memories she isn’t in. We’ve had more sleepovers than I can count. Our adventures started small and have escalated over time. She’s been my partner in crime since we were kids. We’ve been friends forever. Things with her have always been easy. Until we grew up. I noticed her body changing first. Then came the makeup. She started acting different around me. There was flirting. Looks I couldn’t avoid. She hated my girlfriend. Being alone with her felt wrong. My eyes wandered. My mind pondered. Inappropriate thoughts plagued me often. Every tight shirt, every short skirt, every inch of skin on display, had me wanting her, but I ignored it for years. Guys had her when it should have been me. But on paper we would never work—too much at stake—so I forced myself to fall for someone else. It worked. Until she hurt me. What she did left me angry, bitter, and it changed me, with one single act. Christmas Eve of Presley’s senior year I gave in. I let myself have the girl I’ve wanted most of my life. One night set things in motion I never saw coming. I purposely hurt her. I hate myself for it. The guilt still eats at me. But one thing holds true—she’ll never stay mad at me. Our history dates back too far. Her high school graduation came. One last adventure—Cancun. Everything changed. I made a promise to myself I intend to keep. Now, after all this time, I’m ready to make good on it. I’m going after my girl with my band at my side. But everything I set in motion a long time ago—it’s catching up. You can’t move forward with someone until she comes clean. The way I hurt her was nothing compared to the way she’ll hurt me. Welcome to Miami. less

Love at first sight? Most would say yeah right. It’s bullshit, especially for a kid in high school. But for me, it was real. I met her at a rock concert. There I was lost in a crowd, hands in the air and listening to my favorite band, when suddenly all I could see was her out of hundreds of people as if she was standing under a spotlight. I’d never seen anything like her. I knew in that moment I wasn’t leaving that place without at least hearing her speak... moreLove at first sight? Most would say yeah right. It’s bullshit, especially for a kid in high school. But for me, it was real. I met her at a rock concert. There I was lost in a crowd, hands in the air and listening to my favorite band, when suddenly all I could see was her out of hundreds of people as if she was standing under a spotlight. I’d never seen anything like her. I knew in that moment I wasn’t leaving that place without at least hearing her speak. So I broke the ice with something we obviously had in common—music. I never expected for it to lead to parking in the backseat of my truck on a backroad late at night. One thing led to another, and the next thing I knew I owned her virginity. She was mine for a night. Then the summer. And before I knew what was happening, I couldn’t stay away. I kept her to myself. Not even my bandmates knew who the girl was that was taking up all of my time. Then school started back and I found out her real age. I was fucked. Because by that point I was in love. No one could know. Sneaking around was better than not having her at all. But the thing about high school—secrets don’t stay secrets for long. Parents have a way of finding out things. And statutory rape charges become very real. My life went from a dream to a nightmare in less than twenty-four hours. Two options were on the table. Either way ruined my life, one just worse than the other. Both drove us apart. I chose the lesser of two evils. I left town. She was off limits in every aspect of the word . . . forever. Now, years later, I’m still not over her, regardless of how many girls I’ve been with. Haven’t heard from or seen her since the day I left. And with my best friend moving on it’s getting harder not to think about her. But true love is like a boomerang—regardless of where you let it go, it always comes back around.

A beautiful brat. That’s what everyone in Laguna Beach knows me as. Most beautiful. Spoiled. Richest student currently enrolled at Laguna Beach High. The mean girl. Vainest. Most anticipated lay of my graduating class. All things you’d probably find by my photo in the yearbook should the student body have a say. The first to get party invites and last to show up, every girl wants to be me and every guy wants to nail me. Hate me yet? Definitely not the first... moreA beautiful brat. That’s what everyone in Laguna Beach knows me as. Most beautiful. Spoiled. Richest student currently enrolled at Laguna Beach High. The mean girl. Vainest. Most anticipated lay of my graduating class. All things you’d probably find by my photo in the yearbook should the student body have a say. The first to get party invites and last to show up, every girl wants to be me and every guy wants to nail me. Hate me yet? Definitely not the first. Like my brother and sister in years past, I rule the school. I’m the queen, but I use my reign differently. My brother was a cocky playboy. My sister was friendly to everyone, including guys after dark. Both had a loyal army of real friends, my parents’ favorites. Me, I’m the ice queen. Keep friends close and enemies closer—that’s my motto, and the only way to stay at the top. No one will penetrate my armor. A virgin—bet no one saw that coming. Everyone assumes I’ve done the deed. Boys—all pawns in my game. I do just enough to keep them on their toes. Secrets keep the game going. The biggest mystery at LBH is who got between my legs. Rumor has it there’s been a bet going on with the male student body since freshman year. First one to fuck me takes the pot. It doubles if I fall in love. I heard it’s in the thousands already and it’s only junior year. Landon Scott—the unconfirmed winner and only guy that’s gotten to my core. One hot holiday and now I’m back in the middle of high school drama. Let’s see what he chooses to do with it. Note: must be read after Gifted Fate. This is a tentative release date. Will likely be moved up. less

My boots aren’t made for walkin’ they’re made to run . . . Most like to call me emotionally absent. I’d like to think I’m just smart. Heartache is something I won’t have twice. Burn me once, shame on you, but burn me twice, shame on me. Love destroys a person. I decided early on emotional attachments were something I needed to steer clear of. Hookin’ up—that’s something I can do. I was raised by the toughest, the emotionally shut off. I was raised by cowboys... moreMy boots aren’t made for walkin’ they’re made to run . . . Most like to call me emotionally absent. I’d like to think I’m just smart. Heartache is something I won’t have twice. Burn me once, shame on you, but burn me twice, shame on me. Love destroys a person. I decided early on emotional attachments were something I needed to steer clear of. Hookin’ up—that’s something I can do. I was raised by the toughest, the emotionally shut off. I was raised by cowboys. Ranch hands and Daddy taught me everything I know. Since I was old enough to walk I’ve been one of the boys. I can rope and ride with the best of ‘em. I know how to work by the sweat of my brow. I’ve been drinking grown men under the table since I was sixteen. I can flirt my way into a man’s bed with ease. And I push away like a pro. But let him look at me the way he does and nothing makes sense. Fisher Austin—the college quarterback I met at a Halloween frat party. He tried to kiss me. Football players are off limits. My own personal rule. But every turn he’s there. Mutual friends make staying away difficult. He makes me question things. And that’s something I hate. Finals week—home free. Three weeks. Daddy’s ranch. A summer that would change everything. less
