Synopsis
The 29th of February, the day I was
born.
When I wake up on this day, I’m in a different city, with a different life and no memory of the lives I had before this one. Today is the tenth time this has happened to me. The tenth time I’ve had to figure out where the hell I am. The tenth time I’ve had to try and work out who the hell I am. This is the tenth alteration of the person I am. Each of us has had different lives, different backgrounds and different families. But there’s always been one constant.
Him.
He’s the reason I keep doing this. He’s the reason I spend four years searching. If I’m lucky, I’ll get the trigger and find him quickly and we can spend those four years together before I disappear again. If I’m not, we might get a year, a month or even just a day. Once we got nothing, but that was a choice.
And every time it happens, he patiently waits for me. He says that every time I come back to him, it’s like falling in love with me all over again. I say that every time I come back, I fall even more in love with him than before.
It scares me that one day I won't be able to find him at all, because when that day comes, I'm not sure I'll want to keep going. He is my strength, my protector, my one and only constant.
I love him.
He loves me.
But every four years, I lose myself.
And every four years, I have to find him.
This is our story.

Excerpt
“Aren’t you
supposed to be studying,” Ben asks, never stopping the sit-ups he’s doing on
the floor of his bedroom. I’m sprawled out on his bed supposedly doing some
study for my English final tomorrow, but more distracted by what’s going on in
front of me.
I smile at
him. “I am studying,” I say, knowing it’s true, even if it’s not exactly the
stuff I’m supposed to be studying.
Ben smiles as
he does a couple more sit-ups before collapsing back on the floor, his hands
behind his head as he stares up at me. “You sure about that?” he
asks.
I stare at him
lying on the floor beside me. I still can’t believe how unbelievably gorgeous
he looks in this life. Can’t get over the fact that Ben is all
mine.
“Evie, babe,”
Ben says, still smiling. “What are you thinking about?” he asks, a question
which seems to come up a lot these days.
I’m sure the
look on my face gives me away, but I tell him anyway. “You.”
Ben’s smile
gets wider. “Oh yeah,” he says, that cheeky grin out in full force. “What about
me?”
I smile as I
slide off the bed and onto the floor, crawling towards him. “How good you
look,” I whisper, as I lean down to kiss him.
Ben kisses me
back as he says, “Good? Just good?”
I can’t help
but laugh as I slide my hand up and under his sweaty t-shirt. I feel his
stomach contract at my touch and it only highlights all the firmness of his
muscles, the warm, tight skin that covers them. “Really good?” I suggest.
Ben laughs
now, his eyes still watching me. I’m staring at my hand, watching it as my
fingers slowly pull his t-shirt higher. His skin is covered in sweat and I
watch my fingers slide over his stomach, tracing the outline of his hips, the
trail of hair that leads from his belly button and lower down. I still haven’t
found out how far down it goes and right now, that’s the only thing I’m
thinking about.
As my fingers
brush along his waistband, Ben groans, and I notice the tightness in the front
of his track pants. Unable to resist, I lower my hand, my fingers caressing him
on the outside of the fabric. He’s already hard and I can’t help but bite my
bottom lip, mesmerised by the fact that I can do this to him.
“Evie, what
are you doing, baby?” Ben whispers, his voice strained as though he’s trying to
keep himself under control. What I am doing is a risk, but right now, it’s one
I’m willing to take.
I glance up at
his face and see his eyes are closed. With my hand still on his crotch, I lean
in and press a kiss to his lips. “I’m studying,” I whisper.

About the
Author
Hey - welcome, thanks for stopping by!
What can I tell you about me? I'm a seriously avid reader and probably get way
too invested in stories and characters. Have been known to go without sleep
just so I can finish a book. I also obviously enjoy writing them, but we'll see
how that all pans out!
Oh and if you want to follow me here are
