Andre Demarco. Franklin High’s newest Biology teacher. Good news; he’s beautiful to look at. Bad news; he’s my new co-teacher. Try talking about the birds and the bees to a class full of fifteen year olds without picturing your co-teacher giving you that chat with a little less clothing and a lot more demonstration. Really bad news; he’s the “Andrea” that has answered my seeking roommate ad. … roommate ad. Avoiding him in school was impossible, but avoiding him when he walks down the hall to his room in only a towel? Not happening. Really, really bad news; he was…

I never imagined the domino effect heartbreak it would cause instead. I thought we could overcome anything, … overcome anything, but we couldn’t. I had to make the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make in my life, knowing it would haunt me, forever.Valentina…

Nicholas “Nico” Johnson, aka ‘Hulk’. The man got past all my defenses despite my efforts to keep him at a distance. It’s a lost cause because our bodies call to each other, like a moth to a flame, we give in. Time and time again we come together and crackle like lightning. I said we were done, for good this time, but the funny thing about desire is, you don’t tell it when it’s done, it tells you. … you. Our desire would never be done, oh no baby, it was just getting started.An impenetrable wall was built around her…

I’m sick of everyone treating me like I’m made of glass. For once I want to be bad. Do what I want to do without thinking about consequences. Playing it safe got me here, sitting at a bar by myself, thinking about him and what I did wrong. That bastard. … bastard. Screw love.

A heart wrenching, second chance romance, that will make you believe, that everything happens for a reason.Charlotte Daniels is still as sassy as I remember her eighteen years ago, but now, she has a bite to match that bark.
