We all carry tiny pieces of those who built us. And those who wrecked us. For Aria Clarke, Cole Porter is all her tiny pieces. When Cole shows up in Aria's hometown a decade after being gone, her whole world changes. She thought she had moved on, but the past has a way of taking hold of her again and dragging her back into the depths of first love and first heartbreak. After everything she believed to be true turns out to be a lie, she'll have to decide if the hurt she endured in the past is too much of a risk to try again, or if just maybe first love deserves a second chance after all.

In the nail-biting conclusion to the story that began in C-Vac, Briella's worst nightmares have come true. First, she was separated from her boyfriend, Trey, and now she keeps losing everyone else she's ever been close to. To top it all off, since she's become a C-Vamp herself, she's her own worst enemy. Now her only friend in the world is the last person she ever would have expected to be there for her. Jake knows that Briella is his brother's girl, but there's something about her that brings out his humanity. Can he protect her from herself, as well as from new enemies, all while keeping his feelings for her at bay? With Trey's fate hanging in the balance, will a cure be discovered before it's too late for not only him, but mankind altogether?

"This isn't a bad story, but it's not an entirely good story either. This is the story of us. Of me, really. And of the guy who changed my life. But not in the he-swept-me-off-my-feet-and-then-everything-was-all right kind of way. No. He walked into my life like a thunderstorm ripping through the sky, stirring things up and shaking me to my core. He was unsettled and uncontrolled - definitely not the safe bet. But just like a good thunderstorm, he was also wholly beautiful. His presence couldn't be ignored. He awoke something within me that I didn't even know was there. And after you've seen the sky in a thunderstorm's aftermath, the everyday ordinary blue just looks a little too dull in comparison."The Story of Us isn't your typical love story. Craig and Val don't fall instantly in love with one another. In fact, Val pretty much despises Craig. But everyone knows there's a fine line between love and hate. Immerse yourself in The Story of Us and experience a one-of-a-kind emotional roller coaster.*The Story of Us is meant to follow What Doesn't Kill Us, but can be read as a stand-alone novel.
