Two stories so deeply intertwined, you’ll think you know
how they intersect…but you’ll be wrong….
Zack Martin
The day I met Emily Bennett my whole world changed. Sure,
we were just kids, but I was old enough to know my life would never be the
same. She was my best friend. My destiny. My fate. I wasn’t wrong…I just didn’t
know how twisted fate could be.
Nikki Fallon
After the death of my mother, moving from my dark and
dreary trailer park to sunny California, I was focused on one thing – finding a
sister I’d only just learned existed. Falling in love with him wasn’t part of
the plan. But he filled a void I never knew was possible to fill. He had to be
my fate. My destiny. Until the day I finally found out who my sister was…and
how twisted fate could be.
He looks
up and I watch his eyes take me in.
Slowly. They rake over me,
dropping from my eyes to my glossed lips down to my exposed shoulders. Taking his time, he follows the neckline of
my simple, yet body contouring sundress, lingering when he reaches my full
breasts. I’m sufficiently covered, but
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t aware that the dress showed off my assets
well. Tight around my chest, gathering
snuggly at the waist, with a scant amount of cleavage. Just enough coverage to still leave something
for him to imagine. And I watch his face
change as his imagination takes off running.
His eyes
drift down my legs, tanned now from the eternal California sun. Momentarily he’s lost in what he sees and
doesn’t even notice I’m watching him leer.
Totally worth the extra effort getting ready tonight, I couldn’t be
happier at the reaction I get.
Eventually, his eyes make their way back up to mine and I arch one
eyebrow, letting him know he’s been caught.
A normal reaction might be to look embarrassed or perhaps even flustered
a little. But not Zack. Instead, he flashes me a wicked grin. “You look incredible.” He’s the one doing the leering, yet I’m the
one who ends up blushing.

I wish that there were more stars so I could give this book just that. This book is gut wrenching, and beautiful all at the same time. Nikki just lost her mother, she has no one to turn to. At 17 years old, she will be turned over to CPS in a few days. Her best friend, Ashley, is there beside her. She has been her rock since she moved to the trailer park 4 years ago. Now she will lose everything. Zack just lost Emily, his love since they were 9 years old. Emily was Zack's best friend and one night, he lost her. He is stuck in a rut, he doesn't do anything, and it has been months since he hung out with any of his friends. When he does go back to school he sees Nikki. Can she find what she is looking for? Can Zack get over Emily? Or will they leave each other behind?
Man, this book is a great love story. You have heartache, and love. You also have a couple of authors that know what they are doing. This is the kind of book that you could read over and over despite knowing what is going to happen. I cheered on Nikki when she was looking for what was kept from her, I yelled at Emily's mom when she was being a B$$@#. But I also cried when everything seemed lost. They weren't ugly tears by any means, they were beautiful tears. Tears that were cleansing. I have read Vi's work before and I loved it. She has out done her self in this book. Dylan's work is a new read for me. Dylan's work is beautiful as well. If you haven't read this book you need too!!

Vi
Keeland is a native New Yorker with three children that occupy most of her free
time, which she complains about often, but wouldn't change for the world. She
is a bookworm and has been known to read her kindle at stop lights, while
styling her hair, cleaning, walking, during sporting events, and frequently
while pretending to work. She is a boring attorney by day,
and an exciting smut author by night!
Dylan
Scott
Dylan Scott is a New York trial attorney, wife and mother of
four. She believes her job as a trial
attorney is a subcategory to the field of entertainment more than law. With a Bachelor's Degree in English
Literature she believed teaching English was a destined career choice until she
realized her life long talent of "argument" could actually be her
job. A recent, fairly boring, midlife
crisis resulted in a brief stint as a middle school English teacher which
confirmed that she wasn't ready to give up the law. Dylan has also taught legal courses at the
college level and worked with at-risk inner city youth in the roles of mentor
and coach. She is co-author Vi Keeland's
biggest fan.
