Genre: Erotica/Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 13, 2015
Beckett was smaller than most boys his age growing up. This caused him to have little to no self-esteem while faced with the physical abuse he endured at the hands of his mother.
His best friend Harlow, who’s not only beautiful, but tough as nails has been there for him since first grade.
Unforeseen circumstances separated them with promises of always keeping in touch. Reminders of a friendship left behind, possessions taken away only lead to a friendship that was once the center of Beckett’s world.
Ten years later, Beckett has the confidence and self-esteem to search for Harlow. The only problem is; she’s off the grid. Every day he thinks of her, every decision he’s made; has been with for her.
I kissed Harlow on the cheek, wiped away the tears that were falling and I leaned in close to her ear inhaling her floral fragrance that was all Harlow one last time trying to imprint it in my mind, and then I whispered in her ear, "I love you."
I'm not running from something, I'm running to someone. God, Beckett, don't you see, you're my lifeline; I'm not running from you, I running to you."
"This was the place where I fell in love with you Harlow, and even though I had a lot of bad memories here, I had the best memories here too. Memories of when we would sit on the swings and talk about the future when times were innocent, what do you want now Harlow? What are your dreams for the future?"
"You have infiltrated me completely, you make me feel alive Harlow, and I love that feeling. I have had my heart walled off for so long, and you have melted it so I can feel again."
As they become teenagers and their feelings continue to grow, the unthinkable happens. Beckett is told he is moving and must leave Harlow. His has not been a happy childhood at home. He has never met his father, his mother drinks incessantly, and the words of abuse she spews hurt more than blows to his body. The only happiness he has ever experienced has been with Harlow and her family. They have given him affection and guidance, providing the only positive influence in his life.
Years of separation, traumatic experiences, with Harlow's life in danger, Beckett reconnects with her and vows to protect her at all costs. The scenes between Harlow and Beckett make for some of the most romantic and deeply felt parts of this story.
This is a story that uplifts the heart. As our main characters survive the many obstacles they encounter, they hold steadfast to their beliefs, their love, and their commitment to doing what is right.
