Avant mes dix-huit ans, j'avais été la princesse adorée de la famille Moreau. Tout cela a changé le jour de mon dix-huitième anniversaire, lorsque mon père a ramené à la maison une orpheline du nom de Catherine. « Elle a besoin d'un foyer, » a dit mon père. « Tu t'occuperas d'elle, comme d'une sœur. » À partir de ce moment, rien n'était plus pareil. Mon frère, qui m'adulait autrefois, est devenu froid et distant. Et mon fiancé… son amour pour moi a semblé se réduire de moitié du jour au lendemain. La famille a loué Catherine pour sa douceur et son obéissance, la qualifiant de bien meilleure fille que moi, comme leur propre chair et sang. Après avoir été mise de côté pour Catherine trop de fois, j'ai craqué enfin et ai attrapé la manche de mon père. « Le lien du sang ne signifie-t-il rien du tout ? » La fureur de mon père s'est enflammée. Il a caché une Catherine en larmes derrière lui, et devant tous les membres de la famille, il m'a giflée violemment. « Espèce de déchet égoïste. J'aurais préféré ne jamais t'avoir. » « Tu as coupé l'honneur de cette famille, » la voix de mon frère, Marco, était aussi froide qu'une lame. « Va-t'en. » Et mon fiancé, Vincent, m'a regardée avec déception. « Pourquoi a-t-il fallu que ce soit toi ? Pourquoi n'ai-je pas été fiancé à Catherine depuis le début ? » Ils pensaient que je me prosternerais à leurs pieds, comme je l'avais toujours fait. Mais je n'ai dit rien. J'ai marché simplement vers le coffre-fort de la famille, en ai retiré les documents officiels, et ai tracé une seule ligne à travers mon nom. J'ai retiré la bague de fiançailles de mon doigt et l'ai déposée sur la table. J'ai donné à Catherine tout ce qu'ils pensaient que je ne méritais pas. Après tout, il ne me restait que quelques jours à vivre. Mais ils ne savaient pas alors qu'au milieu des ruines de la famille Moreau, un jour, ils se retrouveraient à genoux sous la pluie, implorant mon retour.

He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”
