    About this ebook

    I have loved Channing Monroe all my life.

    In first grade, he asked for my Trapper Keeper.
    I hit him in the head with it.
    Third grade, we were best friends. We kissed in seventh grade.
    Eighth grade, he turned into a bad boy and the rest was a tumultuous storm.

    Growing up, the problem was never love for us.
    Bad times. Good times. There were times when I felt our love in every inch of my body, vibrating, making me feel like it could bring me back to life.

    The problem was us.

    The problem is that we're living in two different worlds now.
    Fallen Crest and its millionaires for me. Roussou and their criminals for him. I was thriving in mine and he was running his.

    But…

    But there were nights I felt we couldn't be further apart than we were, and there were nights I felt we shared the same heartbeat.

    When was it time?
    When was it time to either sacrifice, make a change, or walk away from the boy I grew up with?

      I had my cousin’s one-year-old kid sit on my lap at a family get-together over Christmas and hadn’t noticed she’d undone the straps on my super cute tie-up dress as I was talking away. When I stood up, my dress just fell to the floor and I flashed my

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
