In book 1-2 innocent high-school student Lake Kaplan fell in love with the much older construction worker, Manning Sutter. “I wanted those words she’d swallowed and saved, as much as I wanted to be the only man to ever get them.” Manning & Lake’s bittersweet, enchanting, forbidden & against-all-odds love saga! She’s still everything I want and nothing I should ever have, but if anyone can move the stars, it’s her great bear in the sky. I’d bent over backward to keep Lake pure, but she’s no longer that girl, and I don’t know if I can stay away anymore. But now that she’s gone, would I have made those same choices? The decisions I made were to push Lake in the right direction-away from me. When I close my eyes, I can no longer see her. I’d held those words close and challenged fate, but I had lost.Ī part of me is still that sixteen-year-old girl squinting up at Manning, but no matter how far I fall or high I soar, I’ll always be a bird without her bear and nothing without him. If I’d known then what I do now, would I have kept on walking? Manning was older, darker, experienced-and I’d trusted him when he said the story would only ever be about us. It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents' house. The highly anticipated conclusion to the Something in the Way series, a forbidden love saga.
