“Just for two nights then we’re doing something just the two of us.”
“Is that what you really want?”
“Yes. The thing is, seeing your ex with someone doesn’t hurt when you’re bringing the most amazing girl with you. I realized something a few weeks ago. I want her to be happy. I want her to be happy because I owe her for seeing what I couldn’t at first. For giving me the chance to find the girl I was actually meant to be with.”
I kissed him. I’d kissed him a lot that day, but I needed his lips more. He responded again at first, but then stopped suddenly.
“On the topic of favors and questions, I have one more.” He gave me his puppy dog face. “Any chance you’d do some of the Sinister Summer tour with me?”
I smiled, ready to let him in on my own surprise. “I have my press pass ready. I’m covering the tour for a local music blog my professor told me about. The tour was more than willing to give me a spot since I already had my own lodging and transportation.”
“Oh yeah, you think someone’s going to let you stay with them?”
“I know he is.”
He kissed me gently. “I love this confidence.”
“Me too.” I moved on top of him. “And you can play the lake house song again. I see it for what it was.”
“It doesn’t mean anything to me anymore. I’m just going to play Forever Girl at every show.”
“Forever Girl? Is that what it’s called?”
“Yes, fitting name, isn’t it?”
“I want it to be.”
“It is.” He wrapped his arms around me. “You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. And I’m going to make sure you stay there.”
I brushed my lips against his. “So am I.”
Looking back, I never imagined that one night of steamy sex on the beach could change my life forever, but it did. Sometimes it’s the risks we take that lead us to exactly the place we need to be. For me, that place was in Chase’s arms. I’d never felt safer or stronger anywhere else before, and I knew it was a place I never wanted to leave.

The Hazards of Skinny Dipping
This isn't a deep book about first loves or self-discovery. If you want a book like that, I'd be happy to recommend one, but I don't have that kind of story to tell. Instead my story is about rash decisions and finding out that your dream guy is bad in bed. It's the story of when I finally went skinny dipping, and how my life was never the same again. Oh, and it's also the story of my freshman year of college and realizing Mr. Right might have been there all along.

The Hazards of a One Night Stand
Alyssa Rose Ivy
Book Description:
One small town boy, one girl who wants more, one roll in the hay…
Hooking up with your high school crush is a bad idea, a really bad idea. It was only supposed to be one night, one brief departure from my real life, but nothing ever works out exactly the way you plan.
Colton Waters was everything from my past that didn't fit into my present, so why did he have to show up at my college and pledge the one frat I couldn't avoid?
Because nothing is ever meant to happen just once. At least not the life changing things that mean the difference between falling apart and falling in love.
Chapter One
Field parties are about as much fun as they sound. It’s just a bunch of kids getting wasted in the middle of nowhere as a way to pass the time. They were lame in high school and even lamer after a year spent away at college. Yet there I was, drinking my third Smirnoff (it was that or crappy beer) waiting for my friend to finish messing around with her boyfriend so she could drive me home.
