The Fine Line by Alicia Kobishop

When Liv Evans, a commitment-phobe with a history of losing loved ones, forms a connection with Logan Tanner, an undefeated, illegal, street-racer who’s been betrayed by an unlikely source, all her fears about love, and loss, come raging to the surface.

The fine line

High school senior, Liv Evans, has one rule: No attachments.  She's lost enough in her life and has vowed to do whatever it takes to make sure she never again feels the emptiness of losing someone she loves.  Boys are a fun distraction, but a serious relationship is something she'd rather live without.  Her determination for a future free of pain and heartbreak is put to the test when she meets--and quickly forms an unexpected bond--with Logan Tanner. 

Logan has always been a free spirit, but ever since a life-changing event took place, which left him doubting the integrity of those who are closest to him, he's taken that term to a whole new level.  Learning the hard way that life is too short for worries or work--and that women can't be trusted--Logan has exchanged steady work for street racing.  When Liv walks into his world, everything he thought he knew about life and women is challenged.  

In The Fine Line, Liv and Logan will discover if it's possible for true love to have a future, or if history is destined to repeat itself.

Sample text:

Some people wear their hearts on their sleeves.  I learned a long time ago that preserving one’s heart means keeping it protected.  Sheltered.  My heart is hidden deep within the secure layers of my soul, where it rests easy with the knowledge that nothing can penetrate its everlasting impervious shell.

Twelve Years Ago

Yelling.  Always yelling.  The hardwood floor in my bedroom chilled my toes as I slid out of my bed to see what was going on.  I wouldn’t dare leave my room, though.  I knew better.  As I tip-toed to the bright crack in the door, something crashed to pieces, and I squeezed Mama Bear tight. 

Is Mommy crying?

My hand found a place on the cool metal door knob as I peeked through the crack.  I brought Mama Bear up to my chin so she could see too.  Her soft, fuzzy fur tickled me.  Mommy sat on the floor with her back against the hallway wall, her head in her hands while Daddy stood tall above her.  Her shoulders lifted up and down as she wept. 

No, Mommy, don’t cry!

“I want a divorce,” she whispered.

What was a divorce?  Whatever it was, Daddy didn’t seem too happy about it.  He crouched down so that his eyes were across from hers.  Fisting her t-shirt, he yanked her close to him.  With the other hand, he pointed his finger at her, jabbing her as he spoke.  His voice stayed quiet, and I couldn’t hear what he said, but I knew it was something scary. 

The door knob clinked as I accidentally let go of it, and both of their heads turned to look at me.  My eyes widened, and I gasped.  I ran back to bed as fast as I could, quickly covering myself in my blankie.  Oh no, I dropped Mama Bear!  My door creaked as it opened, and light came through the seams of my blankie.
