Tempting (Red Lips & White Lies, #1)

by Bella Matthews

“When you find the right person, you’ll know. Wait for them. Because doing this life with your mother . . . the balancing act of it all. It was fun with her by my side. She kept me grounded. Find a best friend, Nixon. They make living this life so much better. But don’t go searching. When the time is right, it’ll happen. Trust that and follow your gut. Instincts are there for a reason, son. Listen to them.”

“I don’t know why you’re so good to me, Nixon Sinclair,” she whispers in the darkness as she presses her lips to my chest. “Because you’re mine, Mac. I think you always have been. And I’ll always protect you and take care of you.”
