SAINT
College turned out to be my first everything.
Love.
Sex.
Heartbreak.
Betrayal.
Giving up and running home wasnât an option.
My life was stained by absentee parents, a night of regret still haunting me, and living so controlled I barely felt anything, but white knuckles before I met Oliver.
Least he was a stain I wore proudly.
One pretty face made me feel everything.
For that, all I wanted was to save Oliver from his past more than myself.
Isnât that what unconditional love is?
SINNER
College was supposed to be my second chance.
I was working on my third.
I broke her heart in record time.
Everyone leaves and no one ever comes back. I knew that best. Even Layla.
The guilt of another regret weighted too heavy. So heavy, I invited my demons back in to soften the blow.
I added more mistakes to my bad reputation.
Everyone was right about me.
It was never my demons, she was never the cure, and Iâm simply a pretty face with an ugly past.

These stories were really just wavy lines filling the paper, but she knew each word, each emotion, each character's name, and there was no tricking her into forgetting what each line signified. Just like her unconventional way of writing as a toddler Elena is setting her own rules and just telling stories.
Much like her debut novel, The Best Years, life certainly imitated art. Transplanting from the South to the East Coast, Elena currently lives in Connecticut with her soon to be husband, reformed bad boy.

Thomas was everything a woman should want. Smart, sweet, gorgeous... but that first spark Iâd felt between us had fizzled. Thereâs something wrong with me, something broken. Or... at least I thought it was broken. Then I met Steve.

But now that Iâve met Steve, I know thatâs impossible.

Iâve deceived everyone around me about who I am, and Iâve lied to myself. But this time I wonât.

Excerpt
âOkay. Jen.â Thomas' shoulders relaxed in another small release of tension as he gave a slight chuckle. âjust for future reference, you might want to think of another way of starting a conversation right after weâve had sex other than âCan we talk?â followed by âHave I ever told you about my past lovers?ââ
âUgh.â I slumped back a bit, groaning. âThis is getting all twisted aroundâ¦â
He laughed, then reached down, kissing the top of my head. âItâs fine. Just tell me what this is about.â
âIn my past relationships, Iâ¦â I paused, letting out a small sigh. âWell, there have been certain things about them that wereâ¦well, aspects of them that have includedâ¦ummâ¦â I wasnât sure exactly how to approach this. This was not a conversation Iâd ever thought I was going to need to have with him and coupled with the fact that the discussion had already gotten off to an awkward start, I was quickly beginning to lose my resolve to continue. However, Thomas was patient and didnât press me.
âCertain,â I picked up where I had stopped. ââ¦certain, uh, what people would call ⦠kinky things.â I looked up at him, hopeful, expectant, and saw his expression change from mild uncertainty to one of bemusement.
âKinky things?â
âYeah, you know, kinkyâ¦sexual things.â
âOkay.â Thomas frowned, his brows knitting together. He was deep in lawyer mode, and I could almost see his brain attacking this. âAre we talking about things like the toys in your drawer?â He made a slight motion towards the nightstand on my side of the bed.
âWell,â I pursed my lips together, taking a deep breath, trying not to let my frustration show. âThose could be considered part of it, I suppose, but what Iâm referring to are things that would be a little moreâ¦pronounced than that.â

Excerpt
âIn my mind, you were always Lucas' little sister. I never had that eye opening she-turned-into-a-woman moment, until you put that seed in my brain. It was like a curtain was lifted and the opacity was gone. In an instant, you turned into this voluptuous, gorgeous woman that I couldnât resist. That I wanted. That stirred things inside of me that werenât there before. I see it all clearly now. Me and you. A drummer and a bassist. We come from the same background. We have the same goals. Our sights are set on the same things. What two people share a better connection than us? You were meant to be in my life." He paused and his expression deflated a little. "My life could have been very different. I could have never known my father. Never known you. Or Lucas. Or any of the Immortal Angel family. I believe I was brought here for a reason. Fate. Fate brought me to you. I love you Tessa Blade Garcia."
She'd waited a lifetime to hear those three little words. They were overwhelming. She had always envisioned her reaction to be one of over-the-top elation. Jump-up-and-down hysteria. But Mason's heartfelt revelation left her exhausted with relief. "Kiss me," she breathed.
His eyes dropped to her lips, and he pulled her closer. His mouth met hers with so much heat she thought she would combust. His mouth was warm and fiery. His lips were fleshy and soft. Gentle. His hands pressed against her back and held her to him, possessively. It was as if every pore in her body woke from a drunken slumber. As if they were waiting, dormant, for Mason to touch her. In a very real sense, they were. Her nerve endings were pulsing. Her heart was thundering. Nothing had prepared her for this moment. A million fantasies couldn't conjure up the rampage of feelings spiraling inside of her. This was really happening. She was kissing the man of her dreams. Right now. It wasn't a fantasy or her imagination, Mason loved her. He finally realized they were supposed to be together.
When their lips slowly parted, she said the words she'd practiced in her head for so long. Only this time she knew they would be returned. "I love you, Mason."
"I love you, Tessa."
The words finally registered, and tears sprung to her eyes while a quivering smile spread across her face. "You love me?"
"I had an epiphany. Everything cleared. Like I had my head in the sand and someone yanked it out and I could see the light of day for the first time. I always said I wasn't interested in settling down or having a steady girlfriend because I was too involved with my music. People thought I was a player. You saw all the headlines, but you knew they weren't true. Anyone who knew me knew I wasnât like that. Now I realize that I never wanted anyone because it was you. I always said it was the music, but it was you. All along it was you. It was always you.â

I pulled away with a soft laugh. âWe better get to the bed before I lose the ability to use my knees.â
âLead the way.â
I rolled my eyes, grabbed his hand, and pulled him toward the bed. Turning, I sat on the edge of the bed and eyed Ryan expectantly. How did I do this again?
Ryan chuckled as he toed off his work boots. They fell to the floor with a thump. âYou should see your face right now.â
âDo I look freaked? Because I feel kinda freaked. I donât know how to do this. I mean, Iâve done this beforeâjust not this this, ya know?â
âHey, hey.â Ryan sat next to me on the edge of the bed. âThereâs no right way or wrong way to do this. Thereâs no game plan or checklist or whatever. We just do whatever feels right, whatever you want.â
âOkay.â I gave a shuddering sigh as I looked into his gorgeous eyes. âThen I want you to kiss me.â
âMaybe we shouldââ
âNo. You said whatever feels right. And it always feels right when you kiss me.â I leaned into him and his arm came around my shoulders and settled in a way that justâ¦felt right. âPlease.â
Ryan groaned. âChrist. You have no idea what it does to me when you bring out the eyes. You could ask me anything, and Iâd probably do it.â
âThen kiss me already.â
He leaned toward me, his lips hovering over mine, and then he whispered, âAs long as you promise to only use your powers for good.â
âNo promises,â I whispered back.
Ryanâs eyes flared and he groaned. âFuck me.â
Then his lips covered mine, and I lost the ability to think. All I could do was feel. His amazing lips. The way his hair felt in my hands because I had to hold him somewhere. The way my heart raced when he suckled on my tongue.
Minutes later I was the one tugging frantically at his clothing because I had to feel him. Everywhere.
Ryanâs laugh was husky in my ear and made me want to moan. âI think the only thing hotter than your gorgeous eyes is how eager you are right now.â
I swung my leg over his hips so I could straddle him. Looking into his eyes, I smiled wickedly.
Ryan cleared his throat unevenly. âUh, I stand corrected. Apparently you can get way hotter.â
The power I felt in that moment⦠The fact that I had this man, this crazy hot guy, so worked up and just willing to do anything that I wanted? I think I couldâve come from that thought alone.
Then I pulled his shirt up and over his head.
Or maybe the view of his hard, tattooed body would send me over the edge.
I ran an appreciative hand over the art covering his chest and arms. The heart on his left pec with âfamilyâ written in script. The flamed motorcycle racing down his arm. And the muscles. Sweet baby Jesus, the muscles! He had so many muscles I couldnât evenâ¦
He took advantage of my temporary paralysis and tugged my shirt up and over my head. A reverent expression stole across his face. âAh, Hope. Youâre justâ¦â
He trailed off in a groan before he took my lips again in a harsh, hungry kiss.
I ached to feel those lips on my nipples. Unconsciously arching toward him, I moaned into his mouth. Finally I couldnât take it anymore. I reached behind me to unclasp my bra but my fingers were swiftly batted away by Ryanâs. He made quick work of the clasp and then my bra was falling down my arms, baring me to Ryanâs hungry eyes.
âChrist, theyâre even more gorgeous than I imagined.â He lifted a hand and cupped the underside of my left breast.
My cheeks heated with his compliment. Or the contact. I didnât know which. I bit my lip and looked down at where his tanned, calloused fingers held my pale breast. âYouâve been thinking about my boobs for a while?â
Ryan groaned and brushed his stubbled cheek against my nipple. âAll night. And occasionally when I was alone the last few months. I couldnât get you out of my head after that first night. How you looked. That scent. The way your voice sounded.â
âAnd my boobs?â I teased. But still, I was caught by the way he remembered me. Iâd had such an impact on him that he thought about me, too?
âThereâs no way to get these babies out of my mind.â Ryan murmured as he rasped his cheek against my hard nipple again. Then he finally stopped teasing me and gave what I craved. He captured the tip of my breast in his mouth and suckled hard.
And I melted. I think I groaned or something. I know I burrowed a hand into his hair and held him against me. Like I was afraid heâd try to get away.
Ryan pulled backâas much as my greedy hands would let himâand blew gently on my wet nipple before turning his head and laving attention on my other, poor, neglected tip.
I closed my eyes and let my head fall back as the sensations shrouded me. I wanted more. I wanted deeper. I wanted him all. My thighs clenched and I was seconds away from my second orgasm of the night when Ryan pulled away with a groan.
âShit, beautiful.â His breath was warm against my shoulder. âYou keep grinding on me like that and this show is gonna be over before I even get out of my pants.â

âMy grandfather asked me to talk to you,â Nate admitted, looking out the delivery van window to take in the changes around Last Stand in the year since heâd driven through the small downtown. There were some new businesses, but the vats from Outlaw Tequila were still there. The park was still trimmed and pruned, empty now but ready for use when the weather cooled.
âHow is Everett?â she asked, glancing his way as she stopped at a crosswalk. They waited for a mother pushing a stroller with one hand and holding a preschoolerâs hand with the other. âEveryone was worried about him after the accident this spring.â
The collision had devastated the town, killing the youngest Delaney, Rose, and her boyfriend. Rose had been just nineteen years old. When heâd heard the news, heâd tried calling his own youngest sister, Lara, whoâd left home at around the same age and hadnât looked back. The number he had for her didnât work anymore, reminding him how thoroughly sheâd cut ties with the family. He shook off those memories and focused on Keely.
âThank you. Heâs doing better,â Nate assured her, appreciating her concern. âFeisty as ever, so Iâm sure thatâs a good sign.â
âHeâs the one who sent you to talk to me?â Her voice sounded genuinely curious.
âHe says youâre growing wildflowers on Ramsey land,â he told her bluntly.
Straightening her shoulders, she reared back in surprise. âExcuse me?â
âHe claims he wanted to prep the ground in the east field to start his fall tomato crop, but that the plot is being used for sunflowersâand not by him.â Nate had stopped by the farm stand this morning, hoping the field manager would tell him something differentâthat Everett was confused, or thereâd been a misunderstanding. But Grant Wilkins had told him the same thing.
âWhat east field?â Keely shrugged her shoulders. âWe both know Harper lands border the Ramsey property. Does he think Iâm farming too far on his side? Because I have a survey map of our lands and I double-check it before I work any new grounds for Windy Meadows.â
âIâm sure you doââ
âAnd Iâm very respectful of all the borders,â she insisted, clearly offended. Or irritated. âI think highly of your grandfather, Nate, but he couldnât be more wrong about this.â
âShould we drive out there?â He hated to inconvenience her, but his grandfather was up in arms about the land poaching. âMaybe if we look at the map together, we can take some photos and get it all sorted.â
âI donât need to drive out there.â She shook her head, ponytail swinging as she huffed out a frustrated sigh. âIâve got a hundred and one things to do today, and none of them involve spending time with you to appease your grandfather.â
âOkay then.â He turned his attention to the road ahead and ground his teeth, seeing he had wasted his time. âIâll drive out there myself and see if I can figure it out.â
She said nothing, but she drummed her short nails on the steering wheel as if there were thoughts brewing.
âWhat?â he asked, wishing sheâd just spit it out.
She drummed for another moment as they turned at the faded old sign for Harper Ranch, a relic from four decades past.
âHow will you know what fields are freshly planted, let alone which are tomatoes and which are bluebonnets?â she shot back, her words barbed with the other things she didnât say.
Like how much she resented him being here.
Or how much she resented him, period.
âIâm sure Iâll think of something,â he told her mildly, unwilling to engage.
Heâd ticked her off, but heâd be damned if heâd let her get under his skin. He needed to focus on recovering as fast as humanly possible if he wanted any hope of salvaging his career. That meant he couldnât get tangled up in a drama with Keely, even though she still enticed him like no woman before or since.
Some relationships werenât meant to be.
âIs that so?â She tipped her head to one side, as if she needed to see him from another angle.
As if she didnât believe him.
âYes. You told me you donât want to help me sort through it, so Iâll manage on my own.â He was grateful when the old barn came into view, his truck parked between it and the ramshackle farmhouse where sheâd grown up.
âRight. But if I recall correctly, that just means youâll say whatever you think someone wants to hear while going ahead with what you had planned in the first place.â She braked to a fast halt and jammed the van into park before sending him a withering look. âAt least these days, I know what to expect from you.â
Levering the driverâs side door open, she hopped down to the dusty gravel and walked away as fast as her boots would take her. Had he thought she was non-confrontational? Damn.
Time had changed her, apparently.
Nate watched her go a moment too long for him to convince himself that it didnât matter, his surgical scar throbbing in painful time to the beat of her retreating footsteps.
Heâd known that his grandfather was sending him on a foolâs errand, so it hardly came as a shock that Keely hadnât given him a warm welcome. But since he wasnât about to let his grandfather set the lawyers on a woman who once meant everything to Nate, he would find a way to smooth things over between them.
Exiting the delivery van, Nate headed toward his truck, reminding himself that no hitter worth his salt let himself get down about the first strike.
He was prepared to go deep in the count. He just needed to dig in.
