Three months after the death of her childhood friend and first love, Lea Martinez moves to New York to live with her older brother. Desperate to escape the trauma of 'that night' and fight her lingering insomnia, she drowns herself in the impending changes of a fresh start. Living in a new state, going to a new school and making new friends relieves her from the vicious demons that crawl into her bed at night. Until she meets a boy who bears an uncanny resemblance to her former best friend. .・。.・゜❅ Callum Wright has no interest in making new friends. Especially not with a girl who's constantly staring at him as if she's seen a ghost. As he maintains a relationship with a destructive girlfriend, he tries to cope with his parent's divorce and help his mother make ends meet. At school, he wears a cold reputation over his shoulders and is used to the distant stares and cruel whispers of his classmates. The last thing he expects is to meet someone who has an undying desire for his companionship. Until he meets a girl with a bubbly laugh and vibrant smile that conceals more demons than she'd like to admit. .・。.・゜ first draft; unedited Registered with the United States Copyright Office Frost © 2020 | All Rights Reserved This book or any portion thereof, may not be reproduced or used in any manner whatsoever, without the express written permission of the publisher, except for the use of brief quotations in a book review.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes, etc.)
