Paxton Ross is a kid from the wrong side of the tracks. Finding his father dead in a seedy motel room due to an overdose, sixteen-year-old Paxton suddenly becomes homeless and destitute.
Terri Kingston is a girl who seems to have everything: a lavish lifestyle, a good school, a perfect family. Except outside appearances can be deceiving. What she needs most—love and acceptance—has always been denied.
When Terri and Paxton meet during their teen years, their worlds collide into a messy, beautiful, forbidden love.
But Terri’s parents tear them apart for twelve years. When they run into each other again, things have changed, and not for the better.
Will they get a second chance to find true love, or will the temptations of the rockstar world rip them apart once more?
Melissa hates talking about herself in the third person, but she absolutely LOVES writing stories with forbidden romance and the flawed antiheroes who would burn the world to find and protect their true loves. Her favorite stories have always been those told from the antihero or villain’s perspective.
When not contemplating new story ideas, she can be found traipsing around Texas State Parks, herding her cats, studying a new language, or reading.
