Forget Me Not by Sarah
Daltry
Forget
Me Not Flowering Series Book 1
This isn’t a sweet and innocent
coming of age story. If dirty talk, bedroom toys, and threesomes offend you…
this is not your book. There are also no billionaires, strippers, or virgins.
This is just the story of typical college kids trying to connect to each
other.
“No one tells you when you
start school just how homesick you will be, or how hard it will be to start
life over with no direction and no friends or family. No one says that becoming
your own person is terrifying.”
Lily had a crush on her brother’s
best friend, Derek, for years – which led to their steamy night ten months ago
in her bedroom. Now, she’s off to college and she and Derek are still going
strong. However, when school starts, Lily realizes it’s hard to maintain a
relationship, while also trying to live her own life. She and Derek find
themselves falling apart and she has no idea where to turn.
Enter Jack. Everything about him is
wrong for Lily and she knows it, but she can’t stop herself from being attracted
to him. When things implode with Derek, it’s Jack who’s there to pick up the
pieces – and to show Lily an entirely new set of experiences she didn’t know
she was missing.
Of course, Jack has his own problems
and once Lily gets to know him better, she starts to wonder if she can handle
all of Jack. When Derek reappears on the scene, Lily is forced to decide
between two guys and herself. Can she find herself without losing the people
who matter in the process? .
This is a work intended for
readers 18+ as it features explicit sex between people in college. See where it
began in the short story, “Her Brother’s Best Friend.“
Excerpt:
He moves
closer and already my body is responding. He smells like cigarettes and
leather, two smells I never thought were sexy until now. I want to fall into
his body, to be wrapped in his arms, and I fight it. It’s wrong and it makes no
sense. I have everything I could ever want. Jack is just a distraction.
“I’m not
that kind of girl,” I tell him.
He steps
closer still and kisses my neck. His lips are soft, which is unexpected, and it
sends a shiver through me. Jack brings me in to his chest. I can feel his heart
beating; it’s quickening and it matches mine. I feel his tongue sliding down
along my collarbone. There is nothing like this, but I need him to stop. And
yet, I never want him to stop. “I’d love to know exactly what kind of girl you
are.”
Almost as
if they are not my own, my hands slip between his jacket and his shirt. The
heat of his skin burns me even through the fabric of his clothes. His lips
continue to travel downward, but as they reach the curve of my breasts,
something in me wakes up. I tear myself away from him and back up a few inches.
“I have a
boyfriend,” I repeat. “I can’t do this.”
“Where is
he?” Jack asks. His eyes are burning.
“What?”
“Where is
your boyfriend? You’ve mentioned him before, but you run into me a lot for
someone who’s so in love.”
Lily of the Valley Flowering
Series Book 1.5
This isn't a sweet and innocent coming of age
story. If dirty talk, bedroom toys, and threesomes offend you... this is not
your book. There are also no billionaires, strippers, or virgins. This is just
the story of typical college kids trying to connect to each other.
"No one tells you about pain. They tell you that it hurts,
that sometimes it's consuming. What they don't tell you is that it's not the
pain that can kill you. It's the uncomfortable numbness that follows, the
weakness in your body when you realize your lungs may stop taking in air and
you just can't exert enough energy to care. It's the way taste and color and
smell fade from the world and all you're left with is a sepia print of misery.
That's when the shift starts - the movement from passive to active. I fall
asleep, hoping that the morning will bring back the pain. At least the pain is
a thing."
Plagued by a dark past, Jack sees college as a way out. Desperate to escape the area where he grew up, the people who know his secrets, and his own family, he deals with his problems through alcohol and meaningless sex.
When he first sees Lily, she's the epitome of everything he hates. Yet something about her makes Jack rethink everything he knows and assumes about other people. Now, with the help of his best friend and lover, Jack has to decide if he wants to pursue something that he knows will only end badly.
Can Lily be one of the few people who can see Jack for who he really is - or will his darkness be too much for her to handle?
