Eva, on the other hand, forfeited her edge without hesitation. Despite her ingrained insecurity about her eyes and a history of outsiders devaluing her because of them, she openly professed her broken...
Do I really have to face him again, Travis? The man will be insufferable after besting me as he did. Travis grinned and grabbed up the empty basket. You can handle him. I’ve got faith in you. He held...
Darius, please. You’re hurting me. He opened his eyes at once. Nicole? She lay draped across his chest, her face angled up to his, her dark braid curling beneath her chin. A ragged breath escaped him....
