Nick, Very Deeply: Nick, Very Deeply, cartea 5

They say there's no such thing as soulmates. But they haven't met Eli Winter...

Nick: Eli was supposed to be a stranger I never saw again. A quick connection on a train platform-bright smile, fast wit, ocean-blue eyes, and a kiss that haunts me for days.

He told me he was twenty-one. It turns out, he's only nineteen. And now I have to see him every week and act as his advisor, all while pretending I haven't been fantasizing about him since the day we met.

Eli begs me not to report what happened between us. I agree, on one condition-it can never happen again. But then he calls me one night needing help, and I realize just how brave-and breakable-he really is.

I let him into my apartment, and he slips into my life. We don't touch. We don't cross lines. But every look, every word, every moment burns deeper than it should.

Eli is everything I'm not. Reckless and wild, when all I've ever been is guarded. Open and loving, when all I've ever been is lonely. Willing to take risks, when all I've ever been is safe.

I'm supposed to push him away. Let him go. Set him free. But how can I do that when I can't breathe without him? The truth is, I'll choose Eli every time. Even if it means losing everything.
