Amaris comes from a poor broken family where she was never
loved. On the night of her 19th birthday, she meets Gustavo, handsome,
eloquent, wealthy. When he tells her that he is destined to love her, she rejects
the idea, but the mysterious sparks that fly every time they touch, stop her in

clans.

Snippet:
She chuckled. “Yeah,
yeah, yeah, you’re so clever. But honestly, you knew me for less than 48 hours,
and you bought me an expensive gift. I know you have money and all that, but
it’s just not right.”

“Well, I don’t see what
the amount of time I’ve known you has anything to do with helping a young lady
in need.”

He bowed theatrically,
but his smile faltered when he saw the expression on her face. “I’m not in
need,” she bristled. “I don’t know if you took it upon yourself to make me your
charity case or something, but I have taken care of myself this whole time, and
I can take care of myself still.”

She raised her chin
defiantly, but the pained look in his eyes took the wind out of her sails. “You
are not my charity case, Amaris!” he cried out, grabbing his head with his hands.
“You are my… Ah, damn it!”

He threw his hands up
and turned, walking away from her before stopping, resigned. He looked up at
the Moon, then his shoulders slumped, and he hung his head down.

Amaris, thrown off by
his reaction and especially his words, stared at him, not knowing what to say.
After a moment, she leaned the bike on its kick-stand and strolled towards
Gustavo. She slowly put her hand on his back.

He spun around and his
eyes burned into hers, the electricity sparking. Her breath caught, her hand
falling by her side. He raised his hands and took her face gently, his eyes searching

“This spark means

The feelings she never
thought would happen now swept through her, making it hard to breathe. The way he
held her felt like something she only read about in stories fit for the
extraordinary, unique, beautiful women that had it all.

He opened his eyes
and leaned his head back. He scanned her facial features, taking her in, and
then his eyes stopped on her lips. He leaned in, paused for a moment, and then
lightly brushed her lips with his own. She gasped, surprised, but he didn’t
relent and planted a soft kiss on her trembling lips.
