Ten years old I fell in love
Ten years was the price of that love
Ten years later our world’s re-collide
Ten years was the price of that love
Ten years later our world’s re-collide
Alexandria (Alex)
My brother Jonah was possessive when it came to the things he owned; this unfortunately included the people in his life. The forbidden love between his best friend and me was just that… forbidden.
Our families were from different walks of life and as a sheriff’s daughter being with a Moore’s kid would never be tolerated. To my parents their son and Dalton Moore were on different paths and their friendship would end as soon as college began but it was my brother who had a craving for trouble. He was always looking for danger, committing petty crimes and getting away with it because Dalton would take the fall, blackening his already stained name. When Jonah found out we broke the rules by loving each other, his consequences impacted us all with immeasurable suffering.
Betrayal comes with a debt and it would be paid by all of us.
One with their heart,
one with their mind
and one would pay in blood.

Soul mates,
not everyone believes they exist, but that’s because they have never met theirs.
How can someone who has never felt a connection so fierce, that you feel the power of it in every molecule of your being, believe such an thing exists?
How can you explain to them that the jolt that ignites every nerve ending in your body is like the sky crackling and exploding with lightening before it joins with the earth for the briefest yet most magnificent of moments, displaying the true force of nature’s power?
When that one person you were created with, comes into your life, you know without any doubt that they’re yours and you are theirs. It’s nature in its truest form. There is nothing more natural then falling in love with your soul mate.
True love Is like an out of body experience, you transcend before crashing back into your body seeing life through new eyes.
You don’t just find your soul mate; you reunite with them with intensity so powerful nothing can stop it. A love so potent you feel it in the atmosphere, and you see it in their aura.
Dalton Moore was my soul mate and I lived to love him.
He was in my every childhood memory.
Every dream I conjured.
He was every good decision I made…
But for him…
I was in his every childhood memory.
Every nightmare he slipped into.
I was the worst decision he ever made.
*****Kim's Review!*****
Be prepared to read this book in one sitting as you will not be able to stop reading! I am once again blown away by Ker Dukey's writing! This is in no way as dark as some of her other works but it's just as good!
I instantly fell for Dalton (Ten), he's the bad boy who has been born into the wrong family by sheer bad luck! Alex and Dalton meet as children and she is instantly drawn to him. When I say bad boy he really isn't bad at all, not at first anyway. He has a future planned that won't involve his family name or their criminal behaviour! Alex is besotted from the age of ten, she doesn't care who his family is she just wants him! Dalton becomes best friends with Alex's very over protective brother Jonah, and this helps them see more of each other. Over the years their friendship turns to love, but Alex is still a fare bit younger than Dalton.
Fast forward ten years and things have changed considerably Alex an Dalton haven't seen each other for ten years and Dalton has changed into the bad boy he didn't want to be. What could have changed in all this time to change him so much? There's so many shocks and surprises in store in this book. I was literally on the edge of my seat throughout! Violence, crime, drama and passion that doesn't even begin to describe all that happens in this book.
We meet quite a few characters that I absolutely hated, and some that I loved especially one in particular the tatted bad boy Six, I have a major crush on this man! He's hard and tough and can be quite evil but you see the good in him and I loved that! I can't wait to read his own story!
I'm finding it so hard to write this review as I still am totally blown away by the entire thing it's just that good! So to sum this book up, go one-click right now so you know just what I mean, and you'll be blown away too! I wish there were more than five stars to give because this one deserves so much more!
*****Nic's Review*****
Loved It!! I could not put this book down. I read it in less than a day. It is definitely a book you need to have time to read without interruption. Alex and Dalton have great chemistry. It was instant and one that you just couldn't fight. This book was brilliant. I am having a hard time writing my review without giving spoilers. There are so many twists and I loved it all!! I love the character we meet named Six. Must get more about him in the future. This book has it all. I give this book a 5 star rating!

I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was too active… I would want to change the script.I would watch films and think of ways they could have improved the story if they took another direction so i thought it best that i tell my own.
My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.
When I’m not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I’m a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.
You can find me on Facebook where I love interacting with my readers.
