Intended for those 18+ They say: ‘lightning never strikes twice’... Apparently—based on a quick web search–it can. Multiple times. Usually, with things that are isolated and tall. Like me. This fact has me wondering if love can also strike you multiple times, changing the beat of your heart each time. So, what do you do when you feel an instant connection with Liam, the enigmatic bouncer with his own secrets? What happens when he leaves you with no choice in the matter and not even a second glance behind him? You move on—only to discover that you are now dating his best friend. His partner in crime. The same man who will soon be the leader of the Tri-State Syndicate. I never knew passion this intense or temptation that delicious could stun me twice. But it sure can. Now, Liam is back, and he wants me back too. It’s too late for us. At least, that’s what I tell myself. He made his choice, but did I make mine?

It couldn’t be healthy to live our lives thinking about the ‘what ifs’—but what if we did? What if one thing, was done differently? Then what? Could it change our fate? Could it have changed mine? He is gorgeous, he is mysterious and he is mine—well not technically—but what if he still Ke$ha is blasting throughout our off-campus house. Leah is preparing for another Friday night out after our shift at the hockey stadium. All our friends are about to meet at the local bar Schmitty’s—which we like to call ‘Schitty’s’—due to how you felt the next day. Cheap liquor and 2 dollar beers will do that to you. It is down the block from our house, making it a prime spot. Our broke asses can walk home without having to pay for an overpriced Uber. Schmitty's is the hot spot for post-game drinks and getting lost in the music or someone for that matter. Leah pops her head in my room smelling like Victoria’s Secret Love Spell perfume, hair spray, and tequila. Oof, it’s going to be that kind of night. I’m sure I’ll hear her stumble in later with one of the hockey players. Looks like she will
