Leaves of a Maple Series by Haley Jenner

Archer Dean taught me how it feels to be loved. Really loved. The happily ever after, fairy-tale type love. But he also taught me what real heartbreak was. He ripped away my happiness, took it from me without a backward glance. He left me alone and broken with no idea how to rebuild. No fight left in me to want to. Annabelle Edwards was a light in my world of darkness. She changed the way my heart beat, she let me believe in love... moreArcher Dean taught me how it feels to be loved. Really loved. The happily ever after, fairy-tale type love. But he also taught me what real heartbreak was. He ripped away my happiness, took it from me without a backward glance. He left me alone and broken with no idea how to rebuild. No fight left in me to want to. Annabelle Edwards was a light in my world of darkness. She changed the way my heart beat, she let me believe in love. But the thing about darkness is that it’s suffocating and without warning, the light that you rely so heavily on, can be extinguished by the power of your own shadows. Our story is about pain. About fighting through feelings that can sometimes be greater than love. Fear. Anger. Hurt. Sadness. Our story is aching. It’s passionate. It’s consuming. We’ve felt loss. Felt abandoned by one another. We’ve felt betrayed. Lost. But we fought. Against our love. For our love. Together. Apart. We’ve done it all. We’ve fought for our love to exist. For it to survive. It’s been a broken road. Hopeless at times. Full and seamless at others. We’ve been through hell and we have to trust that our love is strong enough to overcome anything. less

Bennett James was out of my league. Beautiful. Charismatic. Addictive. He was the type of man that women fawn over, that could have anyone his heart (or his insatiable libido) desired. He was never supposed to notice me and he sure as hell was never meant to pursue me. Darci Walker is an enigma. Guarded but wild, if she lets you close enough, and therein lies my problem. My sweet, untamed addiction liked to play timid. That was her first lapse in judgment... moreBennett James was out of my league. Beautiful. Charismatic. Addictive. He was the type of man that women fawn over, that could have anyone his heart (or his insatiable libido) desired. He was never supposed to notice me and he sure as hell was never meant to pursue me. Darci Walker is an enigma. Guarded but wild, if she lets you close enough, and therein lies my problem. My sweet, untamed addiction liked to play timid. That was her first lapse in judgment. Turned me to fire, kick-started a game of cat and mouse I couldn’t get enough of. Me, the Big Bad Wolf. Darci, my sinfully, sexy Riding Hood. One night led to an addiction neither one of us wanted to overcome. Two nights led to something a little… more. Whether we were ready or not, our connection solidified itself in forever. I was ready, I was willing. Now, if only I could get her to stay the night.... less

Luca St. Kelly was a perfectly timed distraction. A temptation that quickly morphed into addiction. He’s closed off, and volatile. A self-proclaimed jerk... yet, I can’t seem to get enough. Hey... heartbreak... ‘sup old friend..... Francesca Walker is certifiable. That’s one thing I’m sure of. That, and certain parts of my body really seem to like her. Yeah... I know that too. She strutted into my life, a complication I didn’t need but definitely wanted... moreLuca St. Kelly was a perfectly timed distraction. A temptation that quickly morphed into addiction.

I convinced myself I could handle her, problem is that measly organ beating in my chest, yeah, I didn’t quite factor him into the equation. Hey... heartbreak... f*ck you!! less
