*Please note this is an updated version of a story previously published under the title 'Inevitable'* Seventeen-year-old Maddie Davis has spent her whole life on the move. With an unstable mother who has a knack for making bad decisions, she's never stayed in one place long enough to remember its postcode. But this time is different... This time, she has been dragged half way across the world. Arriving in California and being forced to go back to school feels like stepping back in time. She wants to go home... Until she meets Blaine Elwood - the stepson of an old family friend. Blaine appears to have it all. To the outside world, quarterback Blaine is rich, confident and has the 'arrogant bad boy' image down to a tee. But nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors. Nobody ever can. He has vowed never to let anyone get too close - let anyone discover how weak he is. So when new girl Maddie starts tugging at strings he didn't know existed in his heart, his only option is to push her away... Until he realizes how much he needs her. Together, after being forced into adulthood from an early age, they begin to learn what it feels like to be young - to smile, to laugh... to love. So when shattered secrets and splintered lies start unraveling around them, will the trust they've worked so hard to build be irreparably destroyed? Or will they realize they are two pieces of the same broken puzzle? (Not suitable for under 18's due to scenes of abuse, sexual content and adult language)

As lead singer and guitarist of the internationally renowned Souls of the Knight, Sawyer Knight is living a life most men can only dream of. He's surrounded by music, fame, wealth, women throwing themselves at his feet. He has everything... Yet he has nothing. Life as one of the world's most sought after rock stars is tiring, oppressive and lonely. He spends every day being who the world wants him to be, who his manager tells him to be, who his mother expects him to be... all the while fighting against who he really is. Truth is, he's used to it. He's actually gotten pretty good at pretending... at living the lie. Until Jake Reed, his ex-best friend and the only person who's ever made him 'feel', waltzes back into his life as the band's new head of security. Jake wants Sawyer - always has, always will. Now, he just needs to get Sawyer to admit that he feels the same... "You will be mine, Sawyer Knight. The faster you try to run the quicker you'll fall to your knees. Then, Sawyer... then you'll be too weak to resist." (This is an M/M romance that is not recommended for under 18's due to adult language and explicit sexual situations)
