Jaxson is arrogant, angry and aggressive. Yet he’s also beautiful, strong and honorable. I unconditionally and irrevocably love every damaged part of him. And for the boy, who didn’t believe in love, he would always and forever have mine. -Julia Sinclair
Julia was different from anyone I’d ever met. I never thought someone so good and genuine existed until her. The more I saw of her the more I became addicted to her. Every time I was around her she would destroy some of the darkness that lurked inside of me. She made the bad shit in my life seem not so terrible. Then, before I knew it, I had fallen for a girl from another world. -Jaxson Reid

Julia Sinclair is your typical innocent good girl with a heart of gold. At sixteen she moved to Sunset Bay, South Carolina, to live with her Grams after losing her mother to cancer. This is where she met some of the best friends she will ever have and one in particular who will forever hold her heart.
Jaxson Reid is your typical tattooed bad boy. His past and soul is as dark as the tattoos he bares. He flies through life and girls with no attachments and no emotions... until he met her.
One fateful night brought Julia and Jaxson together. They formed a friendship and a bond so strong it was unbreakable. Jaxson fought the temptation of anything more with Julia because he knew he would never be good enough for her. When he found his control slipping he left the one girl, who meant everything to him, to join the Navy.
But one passion-filled night has Jaxson letting go of fighting temptation which will forever alter their relationship.
A few years later Jaxson comes home to make things right with the one girl who’s ever meant anything to him. Except someone isn’t happy that Jaxson has returned. Someone who thinks Julia is theirs and they will stop at nothing to make sure it stays that way... forever.
Now Jaxson will not only fight to protect Julia but will also battle the new and existing demons that haunt his soul.

EXCERPT #1
JAXSON LEAVES ON THE FERRY FOR THE NAVY
JULIA
I wake up to my phone ringing and moan, feeling like I have
been hit by a truck. I squint with my red puffy eyes at my screen and see Kayla’s
number. Oh god, what time is it? Checking my clock next to me I see it’s 7:40
am. Shit! The ferry leaves in 20 minutes. I shoot out of bed and take a quick
peek in the mirror. Yup, I also look like I’ve been hit by a truck. Darn. I
don’t have time to make myself presentable so I quickly throw my hair up in a
high messy bun, throw a cardigan over my black booty shorts and matching tank
that I wore to bed. I forgo a bra knowing there’s not enough time to put one
on. I grab a pair of the biggest sunglasses I own to hide my puffy blood-shot
eyes and bound down the stairs. As I’m putting my flip-flops on Grams peeks in
from the kitchen.
“Julia, are you okay? Where are you going so early?”
“I don’t have time to explain right now Grams but I need to
see Jaxson before he leaves. I have to make things right.” I feel bad running
out the door when she’s calling my name but I’m so scared I’m not going to make
it in time, so I don’t stop.
I drive as fast as I dare, praying I don’t get pulled over
and arrive 5 minutes later at the harbor. I almost forget to shut the car door
in my haste. There’s a small crowd gathered on the dock waiting to board the
ferry. I spot Jaxson right away and see he’s about to walk on. Shit! The dock
is long and I’m quite a distance away.
“JAXSON!” I scream his name and start running faster than I
ever thought possible. He seems so far away and I’m crying so hard, praying he
hears me. After the third time of screaming his name he finally hears me, he
stops and turns around to see me charging at him. He looks stunned for a minute
but then drops his bag and starts striding towards me. When I reach him I jump
and throw myself at him. My arms wrap around his neck and my legs around his
waist.
“I’m so sorry, please forgive me. I don’t care if you don’t
love me back, I swear I don’t. I can’t lose you Jaxson, I need you in my life.
Please don’t leave hating me.” I don’t know how I manage to get all those words
out through my broken sobs but I do.
Jaxson puts me down and cradles my face in his hands. When I
look up I see his eyes are brimmed red with unshed tears. He rests his forehead
on mine, “I could never hate you Jules. You mean more to me than anyone else in
my life. If I had it in me to love someone, it would be you,” his voice cracks
and I grab him, sobbing hysterically in his chest.
