Unwanted (The Unlucky Ones, #1)

by Marley Valentine

My attraction to him has always been so complex. His heart, his mind, his soul.

It’s always been an unspoken rule: you are who you are and you love who you love; you never need to explain that.

We were honestly too busy surviving to think of girls or boys, or labels. Or so I thought.” I feel my mouth widen into a smile I have no control over. “Until he kissed me.”

Slowly, I open my eyes and turn to look at him. In one way or another Arlo has been the center of my world for so long. He is safety. He is recklessness. After a childhood filled with disappointment, he was the one thing I could depend on. He’s now staring at me, giving me every ounce of his attention, and I love it.

Or was it that Arlo was the sun, the moon, and the stars, and nothing else really compared?
