CROSSED:
Tell me something real. I threw back at him because I'm tired of talking about me.
He stopped breathing for a moment and tucked his nose into my temple; he inhaled slowly before sitting up straighter. I sometimes think fate is more of a reality than faith even though I was taught faith was fate my whole life. Like when you connect with someone and you can just feel how right it is. A sort of invisible string that's buried deep in their body connecting your souls together and your life lines suddenly come together to share a path you can choose to walk on together if you accept that fate and stray off your own path.
I turned to look at him as his voice dropped an octave and changed the charge in the air around us.
Are we dancing again? I asked.
That depends, Clary. Do you feel this thing between us the way I do? He leaned forward as he pointed a finger from my heart to his own, his eyes hooded. Because if you don't feel this thing between us, I think it's best to let the flame die.
Clarissa Monroe knows a few things for sure: When summer is over she's moving across the country with her best friend Anna, she's going to be a librarian, she doesn't know who she is yet, and she can't get that first kiss with Bryant Crossman out of her head.
Bryant Crossman can't grab a firm enough hold on his life. Weighed down by the expectations of his father, he's being thrust forward on a path that isn't his own. Until he makes a bold move and kisses Clarissa Monroe at a party. When he sees her again he finally decides to step onto a path of his own choosing, one that will allow Clary to walk with him. But how far can they walk before their paths no longer cross?
ARDENT:
Six months ago I made a mistake; I didn't pick the girl and it cost me everything.
Half way around the world, following the path my father laid out, I decide to take back control of my life. I'm going to go against him for the first time in my life. I'm going to go get Clary back.
Now all I have to do is convince her, the girl who hasn't taken my call in six months, that we're meant to be. Taking place in present day and told by Bryant, Ardent is the sequel to Crossed.
Bryant flies back to win Clary's heart once more and heal his own in the process. But Clary isn't intent to give her heart up again so easily, and she's grown in the time Bryant was away.
Can she forgive his decision to succumb to his fears and let love lead her down his familiar path? Or will she continue forward on the path she's forging as she blossoms into the woman she was meant to become?
