Promise Me Once
~~~
Once with him was never enough.
I am the girl you dislike. The girl you snub at parties. I
am the one who flirts with men and knows no boundaries. I am the one you
whisper about. The one who has no rules. I am the one who takes and uses
without any regret or excuses.
On the outside I am perfect. I have money, looks, and a
personality that makes people stand up and take notice, but on the inside I am
broken and hurting.
Then I met Cash Marshall.
He wasn’t what I needed, but I wanted him anyway. It was Cash’s
carved, muscular body I thought about. It was his cool, confident touch I
craved. I swore he would only be a one-night stand, another distraction to take
away the pain.
But then our world changed.
Our story is not about love. Love is pretty and sweet and
full of niceties. Those no longer exist. Our story is about finding each other
again in a world gone crazy. It’s about surviving the impossible when war
ravaged our land. It’s about saving each other from the darkness and finding
out just how strong we could be.
And maybe, just maybe, along the way, we’ll find love…
Once and for all.

There’s a fine line
between love and hate. And they were about
to cross it.
My name is Samantha Ross and this is
my life.
I existed in a world that few know.
Rundown trailers and crime-ridden streets were my home. Drugs and alcohol were
the norm and happiness was the exception. I lived from day to day never knowing
if I would have a roof over my head or food in my stomach. My life sucked. It
took from me and gave nothing back.
But there was one certainty in my
life. A black smudge on my window of hell.
Cole Walker.
He was a criminal. A thief. He
brought hell and damnation with him wherever he went. He hurt and destroyed. He
took and gave nothing in return. He was heartache and despair wrapped up in a
perfect gorgeous package. Fast cars and fast women were his hobbies. His vices. But he had many.
I was one of them.
I was his addiction and his craving.
His enemy on this earth. I feared him. I hated him. I loved him even more.
Promise Me Light
"I'm darkness, Maddie. Stay away from men like me. You'll only get hurt."
At one time my life was simple. Easy. But that was before the war. Now I was no longer an average college student. I was a survivor. A woman living in a ravaged world. My future was not bright and my life was far from perfect. The war had taken so much from me… but it wasn’t finished yet. It wanted more.
It wanted my heart. My soul. The one person I couldn’t live without.
It wanted Ryder Delaney. My best friend. The bad boy. The one person who could fight like no other and love me like no one else. He was the father of my baby. I watched him walk away one hot summer day and I prayed he would return. I needed him like I needed air to breathe and water to drink. Without him I was lost. A light without her darkness.
Until he returns, I’ll wait for him. And I believe he will return because love is powerful…
And so is the light calling him home.
Promise Me Darkness
For me, life was simple. I went to school and studied. I spent time with my friends and stayed out of trouble. I didn't drink or swear and I only dated gentlemen. I was the typical good girl with a bright future. My world seemed perfect.
But that was about to change.
But some rules were meant to be broken.
We were best friends, inseparable since childhood despite our differences. I knew the real man hiding behind the tattoos and bad attitude. He knew all my secrets and dreams. But he didn't know there was one thing I wanted and couldn't have...him.
But sometimes Fate has a way of intervening. Soon our world collapsed. War erupted. Darkness prevailed. Alone and on the run, our only goal was to survive and to ignore the feelings we had for each other. But love is powerful...and so is the darkness.
