The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden
There
are those who don’t get luck handed to them on a shiny platter, who end
up in the wrong place at the wrong time, who don’t get saved.
Luck
was not on Callie’s side the day of her twelfth birthday when
everything was stolen from her. After it’s all over, she locks up her
feelings and vows
never to tell anyone what happened. Six years later her painful past
consumes her life and most days it’s a struggle just to breathe.
For
as long as Kayden can remember, suffering in silence was the only way
to survive life. As long as he did what he was told, everything was
okay. One night, after making a terrible mistake, it seems like his life
might be over. Luck was on his side, though, when Callie coincidentally
is in the right place at the right time and saves him.
Now
he can’t stop thinking about the girl he saw at school, but never
really knew. When he ends up at the same college as Callie, he does
everything he can to try to get to know
her. But Callie is reserved and closed off. The more he tries to be
part of her life, the more he realizes Callie might need to be saved.

Teaser:
Hesitantly, I push open the
door and poke my head into the dimly lit room. “Hello.”
Kayden walks out from the back room without a shirt on and a towel pressed up to his face. “Hey, did you get the stuff?”
I
slip into the room and shut the door the door behind me. I hold out the
first aid kit and icepack to him, with my head turned toward the door
to avoid looking at him. His bare chest, and the way his jeans ride low
on his hips smothers me with uneasiness.
“I don’t bite, Callie.” His tone is light as he takes the kit and pack. “You don’t have to stare at the
wall.”
I
compel my eyes to look at him and it’s hard not to look at the scars
that crisscross along his stomach and chest. The vertical lines that run
down his forearms are the most disturbing, thick and jagged as if
someone took a razor to his skin. I wish I could run my fingers along
each one and erase it away, removing the pain and memories that hold
with it. It hurts to look at it and I lift my gaze to his meet eyes.
He
quickly lowers the towel to cover himself up and confusion gleams from
his good eye. He presses the pack to his swollen and balances the kit
down on the edge of the pool table, his fingers quivering as he pulls
his hand back, each knuckle is scraped raw to bone.
“Can you get the gauze out of that for me. My hand’s a little sore.”
My
fingers fumble to open the kit, my fingernail catching on the edge, and
it splits open. Blood pools out as I open the lid and I retrieve the
gauze. “You might need stiches on that cut below the eye. It looks bad.”
He dabs at the cut with the towel, wincing from the pain. “It’ll be fine. I just need to clean it up and get it covered.”
The steaming hot water runs down my body, scorching my skin with red makes and blisters. I just want to feel clean again. I
blink and take
the damp towel from him, careful not to let our fingers touch. I
examine the open wound, so deep the muscle and tissue is showing.
“You really need stiches,” I tell him. “Or you’re going to have a scar.”
The corners of his lips tug up into a sad smile. “I can handle scars, especially one’s on the outside.”
I understand his meaning from the depths of my heart.
Can't wait for the the release!! Make sure to add this book to you TBR list!!
