*last update 5/16/26* "You'd be surprised what people can endure when it's all they've ever known." Beck's voice was quiet, distant. I focused my eyes on a lone ember dying just outside the fire. "Tragic shit happens around us every day, to adults and to children. The fact that we try to brush it all under the rug - to pretend it doesn't happen... That's the bigger tragedy. To let those affected suffer in silence, instead of reaching out a hand - lending an ear," I whispered, and our little group grew quiet for a bit. "What if those affected are just trying to get through to tomorrow?" Beck said thoughtfully. I eyed him as I waited for him to continue. His brown waves fell in his amber eyes. "Maybe they don't want to talk about it. Maybe they're tired of thinking about it and just want to forget and move on to the next thing in life." His voice was casual as he shrugged, but his faraway eyes gave me the impression that he was speaking from experience. "I think," I paused, and he met my eyes. "Compartmentalizing works for a bit. Though, in the long run, it's only going to leave them in a much worse place mentally. It'll eat you alive, letting it fester so long. Even if the abused and damaged think they're getting through by shoving it down, saving it for the 'later' that never comes... They're really just turning themselves into a ticking time bomb." "Does that work for you?" He asked, and my eyes flickered back up to his. "Talking about it?" "What makes you think I've experienced such tragedy in my 17 years?" I responded quietly, the energy between us charged. "Maybe I was just curious." I offered. Beck stared back at me in disbelief, smoke pouring out of his mouth and curving up into a cloud around his eyes. How did he have me read so well, so quickly? Stolen, a Dark Romance that touches on attachment styles and trauma bonds. Reader's discretion advised.

(Book #1 of the Best Friend Series) _____________________________ "Leave me alone," I growl through clenched teeth. The last thing I need is Colten bugging me after he deliberately tried getting me in trouble. "No," he says. I try to push passed him again, but this time he doesn't take it lightly. Instead, I'm pushed against the wall with a debatable amount of force. My back stings from the sensation. Colten leans his forearms on either side of my head, his body pushed against mine making me bite my lip to hold back a moan. Why do I always feel this way around him? "I'm not letting you leave again," he whispers, his eyes darting down to my lips then back to my eyes. "Not again." My breath hitches in my throat as his face gets closer to mine. I don't even try to stop it this time. I let his lips cover mine in such a way my toes curl inside my shoes. Why him? __________________ This is the rewritten version to Relationship With My Brothers Best Friend! I hope you enjoy it just as much as the original.

This isn't a deep book about first loves or self-discovery. If you want a book like that, I'd be happy to recommend one, but I don't have that kind of story to tell. Instead my story is about rash decisions and finding out that your dream guy is bad in bed. It's the story of when I finally went skinny dipping, and how my life was never the same again. Oh, and it's also the story of my freshman year of college and realizing Mr. Right might have been there all along.

I've always wanted to do a story like this. So please support my book a read it cause I'm really excited about writing it. And yes this book will have a lot of cursing and a little sexual stuff
