Dare You to Run by Ryan Marie

Dagen
Finding out the memories I once cherished were nothing more than a web of lies was like slamming into a brick wall without a helmet. Everyone around me fed me the same rehearsed lines and when the truth finally came out, I didn’t know who I was anymore.
Maybe taking off without warning wasn’t the best idea, but crashing my car was an even worse one because it threw Hendrix Dare into my path.
He was everything your mom warns you about and your dad hates. And I wanted all of him.
Dad called it rebellion, I called it love, but he didn’t care what we defined it as long as it ended.
I knew it was all too good to be true, and after another obstacle that ended in tragedy, I’m left with the tattered pieces of my heart in my hands.
Tainted memories and broken dreams. All I wanted was a happy ending. Instead, I only got an ending.

Hendrix
When the universe dropped Dagen McCallan in my town, I thought she was nothing more than another spoiled rich girl living on mommy and daddy’s dime. Imagine my surprise when she became everything I never knew I wanted, but everything I needed.
She was the light to my dark, the warm to my cold, and she made the bad memories fade away with each smile.
I whispered words I never thought I’d say to anyone, and for the first time in my life I saw a future that I wanted to run towards.
I was determined to let nothing keep us apart and prove to everyone she was meant for me. I promised to fight off the world for her but sometimes in order to do the right thing, promises must be broken.

Holding Dagen in my arms was like catching a lightning bolt with your hands, it only happens once in a lifetime. And I’m the idiot who let her go.
