    Summary

    "I wish I could," he murmurs. “But you kissed me.”

    She swallows. His thumb moves, just slightly, against her chin, and she feels it everywhere, feels it in the base of her throat and the pit of her stomach and the backs of her knees, feels it in every place she has been trying not to feel anything for two days, and she looks at him and he looks at her and the desire is right there on the surface of her, visible and undeniable, and she is too tired to hide it.

    "I know." Her voice comes out very quiet but she’s holding his gaze. "I know I did. And I wish—I wish I could tell you I wouldn't do it again." A beat. "That’s always been the whole problem.”

    Summary

    Tess never intended on coming back to the Pittsburgh hospital, but her brothers diagnosis forces her to return home.

    Jack has not seen her in roughly a decade. The last time he spoke to her was the night he confessed to what he had done, went to bed thinking that they would figure it out in the morning, only to find his apartment empty the next day. Her phone number disconnected.

    No note, no call. Never to be heard from again.

    Now she returns on a random Tuesday night, turning his world upside down once more.

    Somehow, she’s still the one left standing while they play saints and sinners.

    Summary

    You never wanted to come back to Oceanside. You promised yourself that you never would. You weren't expecting to cross paths with Pope Cody, or for all of those long-buried feelings to come crawling back to the surface again.

    But you can't turn away from him now, even though you know it will inevitably end in nothing but heartbreak.
