I’m messed up. I could say it was a result of my childhood, but honestly I blame myself. The medicine made me feel numb; the blood made me feel high. He wasn’t supposed to be mine, but although he was scared in the beginning, he didn’t run from my demons. He found beauty in my flaws, beauty in the cracks that barely held me together.
Lee
I had it good—various girls of the week, my dream job, stability—and even then, I knew deep down something was missing. Madalynne opened a door for me; Jacqueline lit the flame. She wasn’t perfect—far from it—but underneath the pain and the scars, I saw her. Sometimes the ones worth fighting for don’t know their worth. Sometimes being broken is beautiful.
Beautifully Broken is the fourth book in the Infinite Love series.
Jacqueline
My breathing intensifies, coming out in short stints. His fingers cup my face in the most delicate way. Our lips have been tangled up in one another’s since he invited me up after work, and we haven’t even taken a break.
We’ve been rolling back and forth on the queen bed, my legs entangled with his.
So far Lee has been the utmost gentleman, only kissing me passionately and deeply. He’s been well behaved, and his hands remain in my hair or on my face, but I can tell he is getting worked up by every nibble on his lip, every tug on his hair.
He presses into me with every kiss as if trying to discover new territory.
He climbs on top of me then, his hand sliding slowly down my arm, reaching for my shirt. He doesn’t miss a beat, still kissing me deeply.
His hands reach for the bottom of my sweater, sliding softly across my hip, making me shiver.
I hadn’t intended for it to go this far. In fact, I’m pretty sure I want to wait a bit longer before going all the way, but while my mind says no, my body says the complete opposite.
All I wanted was to be able to make it through my senior year. I didn't need the stares, the jokes, or the bullies. I thought I could do it all on my own, but I was wrong. He filled my veins like a poison, the kind you can't run from. Harsh and uncaring, he was broken, but somewhere along the way he seeped into my pores. There was no way out, so that left me with one choice: to open his eyes to the beauty around him--to help him live.
Topher
She wasn't on my agenda; it was fate's cruel way of telling me I needed to get my shit together. To be fair, my head was so far up my ass, I'm not sure how we extracted it. I knew the power I held over my peers, and I exuded it daily. I could have had any girl I wanted at the snap of my fingers, and yet I found myself fantasizing about her--someone so far off my radar it wasn't even funny. She helped me understand that sometimes you need to let go to really live. Sometimes being alive means taking risks.
Learning to Live is the first book in the Infinite Love series. The Infinite Love series comes with hard hitting subjects such as bullying, suicide, depression, disorders, abuse, addiction, fears, love, death, and more. The stories aren't going to be pretty, but they are going to be real.
The Infinite Love series by Kira Adams: honest, heartbreaking, and oh so real.
All books in the series are standalones, but it is suggested to read in order.
Reading order is:
Learning to Live (Topher & Ciera)
Life After (Topher & Destiny)
My Forever (Parker & Madalynne)
Beautifully Broken (Lee & Jacqueline)
Against All Odds (Avery & Austyn)
Topher
I’d never imagined I would find someone who completed me, just to lose her. I’d never imagined the love I felt could be overshadowed by the deepest depression I’d ever lived through. Two years had passed since she touched my life, since she was taken from me. I was afraid to let anyone else close, afraid to lose them like I lost her, and then Destiny crashed into my life. She was nothing like Ciera, and that’s what attracted me. The more she pushed me away, the more I wanted her. I knew I was playing with fire, but I liked the burn.
Destiny
He was so unexpected, nothing like the guys I would normally go for, but he was persistent. He saw the ugliness inside of me, and he accepted it; he nurtured it. I’d been looking out for me for so long that, when he came into the picture, I couldn’t accept it. It was too good to be true. He was too good to be true, too good for someone like me. But when shit hit the fan, Topher was there by my side, holding me up. He didn’t run away when things got tough, and that meant the world to me. I wasn’t Ciera; I didn’t want to be her. I just wanted a chance to show him the love I knew he deserved.
Life can be cruel and unexpected, ripping your heart out when you least expect it. You never think it can be you, and then it happens and you’re left to pick up the pieces of your broken life. I was grieving, understandably so, each stage pushing me further and further from him. There was never a doubt in my mind that Parker and I were soul mates. No one had ever made me feel the way he did, and I didn’t want them to. Through all the hard times, he was there. Parker was the only person I could lean on, the only person I could talk to about my feelings. He pulled me out of my depression. He helped me see the light again.
Parker
She was hurting, and I wanted to be there for her. When my brother Bo passed, I slipped into a deep depression, and even though I pushed Madalynne away at every turn, she never gave up on me. I owed her my life, and I wanted to spend the rest of mine making her happy. Even with our connections to others, my love for her never wavered. It was something embedded in my bones, so deeply she would always be a part of me. That’s why I never gave up hope that somehow, someday, we would be together again.
My Forever is the third book in the Infinite Love series.
