BLURB

Ciera

All I wanted was to be able to make it through my senior year. I didn’t need the stares, the jokes, or the bullies. I thought I could do it all on my own, but I was wrong. He filled my veins like a poison, the kind you can’t run from. Harsh and uncaring, he was broken, but somewhere along the way he seeped into my pores. There was no way out, so that left me with one choice: to open his eyes to the beauty around him—to help him live.

Topher

She wasn’t on my agenda; it was fate’s cruel way of telling me I needed to get my shit together. To be fair, my head was so far up my ass, I’m not sure how we extracted it. I knew the power I held over my peers, and I exuded it daily. I could have had any girl I wanted at the snap of my fingers, and yet I found myself fantasizing about her—someone so far off my radar it wasn’t even funny. She helped me understand that sometimes you need to let go to really live. Sometimes being alive means taking risks.

Learning to Live is the first book in the Infinite Love series.

Author Note: This is the same book that initially made its rounds back in 2015 and garnered over 175 reviews. With new shiny editing, formatting, cover design, and even scenes I'm hoping it will reach the audience I know it can!

EXCERPT

Topher

I hold her silently until her breathing evens out, and her tears have long since dried up. The moon is illuminating the sky, and the sound of crickets and wind takes over our surroundings. Slowly, I begin to release her. I trace my fingers across her jawline gently. “You want to talk about it?”

She leans into my fingers for mere seconds before turning her face away from mine, averting her gaze. “Can you take me home?”

I simply nod.

We climb back into the car, and the air has changed between us.

I don’t know what it is about this girl, but seeing her hurt kills me. I want to beat up whoever made her cry, but she isn’t talking.

I glance over at her in the darkened car, taking in her delicate features…her small ears, her long eyelashes, her cute nose. It’s like I’m seeing her for the first time. Ciera is not my type. She’s never been, but then again, neither was Sophia. Maybe I don’t even know my type.

Sever the Ties

I feel like a realization came to me today and brought some peace along with it. I've been living for others for so long, I forgot how passionate I am about my goals and dreams. I forgot that it was me who manifested my initial success as an indie author. It was me who also let that fall by the wayside. It was me who hustled to get my music heard and out there. Me who hustled to improve our production and performance. 

I need to be better. I will be better. 

You heard it here first. 2021 I'm coming for you. 

What Once Was

I miss you in every bone of my body. 

I miss you with every breathe that I take.

I miss you with every tear that falls down my cheeks.

I miss us. I miss what we were. What we could have been. 

My broken heart may never repair itself. I may never be whole again. I may never be me. 

But I hope one day you wake up and you're you again. 

I hope one day the anger subsides. I hope one day your heart mends. 

I hope one day you begin to feel normal like you've always longed for. 

And I hope and pray that I'm able to continue putting one foot in front of the other. 

For the hope of a better future. For the hope of a pure love. 

MTE

It just sucks because we had something beautiful and you ripped it away. You threw a grenade, and there's no going back. 

I've never loved anyone as much as I loved you. I've never felt as connected immediately to anyone like I did with you. 

It's because in all of our lifetimes of finding each other, we are soulmates, we're just not meant to be and that's something I'm coming to realize. 

What you did to me was not a reflection of how you felt about me and honestly had nothing to do with you, or us or anything. It was a demon you were fighting inside of yourself. Something that you needed to get out. A pain that you needed people to hear. And it was hard for me to understand how you could treat the person that you love in the ways you did. I didn't realize that it was something you couldn't control. 

I didn't realize how sick you actually were, and I'm sorry for that. In my naivety, I exacerbated a lot of the issues between us because I didn't fully understand what I was dealing with, and that's my fault. 

Of course I wonder what if you didn't do this...would it pop up later on down the line? Were we just delaying the inevitable? What if you never threw everything away?

When it first happened, I was so broken. I just, tried to make sense of it in my head. I tried to make sense of why you would throw everything away. We had such a beautiful life. Why? And I guess that's something I'm going to have to come to terms with that I'll never understand fully what you were going through. I'll never really understand what trauma was going on in your head that caused you the need to do what you did. That may never compute. That's okay. I may never make sense of what you did, I just need to cope with it. And so this is my swift kick in the butt that this wasn't the life I wanted and the universe knew that. They intervened and told me they had something else in store for me. 

So thank you for that. Even after everything, I feel like there was a reason that this happened. It will be a really good learning lesson for me. There will be a lot of tears, there will be a lot of confusion, anger, hurt and sadness, but it's for the best. I need to work on myself. I need help. I need to talk to someone. It's time to work on me now. 

Yours

I want to be yours.
I want to be missed by you each time we part.
Lusting for you even when we are together.
Passion and intimacy off the charts.
When you ebb, I flow.
Primal, yet delicate.
Our connection is undeniable.
You want to be mine.
You want to shout to the world that I am yours.
You accept me for me.
Mind, body, & soul.
You're the fire and I'm the ice.
Together, the possibilities are endless.
