Synopsis:
There is no wrong or
right way to deal with a death. Or to grieve in a way that is expected. The
loss of a loved one can hit you in ways you could never imagine. At least, it
did to Hunter Holland.
College Junior Hunter
knows he messes up; he knows he hates his life; he also knows he blames his
father for his mother’s death. What he doesn’t know is that his life is about
to change–all thanks to Louisa Dawson.
Louisa, the freshman,
is sweet. Shy. Innocent. She doesn’t care for boys, but rather books. Hunter is
crazy, a player, and as cocky as they come. The college ‘bad news’ is
everything she wants to stay away from, yet he is everything she is drawn to.
Focused on her
studies, Louisa doesn’t have time for Hunter who is both distracting and
disruptive, but Louisa is the breath of fresh air Hunter needs. She is the only
girl he is willing to work for. She is also the only girl that understands why
Hunter is living the life he is.
Louisa is determined
to prove to Hunter that living in a tormented past is never going to guarantee
a happy future.
They say opposites
attract… maybe they do.

Excerpt:
Hunter
She’s beautiful,
abso-fucking-lutely beautiful. I watch her sleep, and gently move her blonde
hair from her face so I can see fully. Louisa is timid, too timid to flirt, too
shy to admit she wants me in the way I see her looking at me. She’s innocent,
petite, and so genuinely kind I don’t think I have ever met anyone like her. I
don’t want to corrupt her; I don’t want to disrupt her, but I can’t promise
myself that. All I know is that I would never treat her the way I have treated
girls in the past. Never gawp at her and refer to her as a piece of ass, a
fuck, a pussy I want to wet my dick in. She is the girl I have been waiting to
stumble across since the moment my mom gave birth to me. Okay, maybe not that
young, but close enough. The only woman I have ever treated like a princess was
my mother, and now I want to treat this girl like the fucking next air to the
throne. I close my eyes, settling next to her, and I’m falling…
Bang, bang, bang,
bang.
A noise that makes my
head ache wakes me up with a jolt. “The fuck?” I yell, sit up and notice Fallon
standing on her bed, banging a spoon against a frying pan. I feel Louisa sit up
next to me, but I am evil. Evil I tell you.
“Unless you plan on
making me an omelet with that pan, you better get the fuck outta here, Fallon.
What shit you trying to pull?”
“You,” she points at
me with her spoon. “Seem to be in my best friends’ bed, hugging and shit.
You’ve made her late for her dinner with her father. I know this is not
Louisa’s usual behavior, so you’re the bad influence. Get out.” She points to
the door with the spoon.
“What!” Louisa fly’s
out of bed and takes her alarm clock into her hands. “An hour late!” she
shrieks. “Crap.”
I watch her scramble
to get her shoes on, and she’s running her fingers through her hair at the same
time. I climb from the bed and stretch out my arms. Checking my watch, I catch
the time. It’s 6pm. Louisa says she’s an hour late, but earlier she told me she
was meeting her dad for lunch. I don’t want to ask her about it right now,
though, I can see she’s stressing.
I glance over to
Fallon, and she’s staring at me with those hard, black eyes of hers. Then I
remember last night, and what she did to Louisa.
“Some friend you were
last night, huh?”
“It was an accident,
asshole.” She jumps down from her bed and points the spoon at me. “At least you
found your perfect chance to take Louisa home and snatch her virginity like it
was some sort of fucking prize, asshole.”
She’s grating on my
goddamn nerves. “Call me an asshole one more time– wait, what did you just
say?” I look over my shoulder and Louisa is standing still, her backpack held
in mid-air. Her eyes close, and I hear Fallon whisper ‘shit’ from behind me.
Author Info:
Lilly James - That's
me. British Author with a wild imagination.
I love writing about
damaged souls. I love getting my teeth stuck into emotional scenes, but most of
all, I love writing those steamy lovemaking sessions for my characters.
(Characters have to have fun too!) Oh, did I mention I have an obsession with
writing about gorgeous alpha men? No? Then go read my books to see what I'm
talking about!
I am an avid reader
of everything from dark erotica to soppy YA. (Oh, and I love Mr Harry Potter.)
Just saying.
I'm the very best at
moaning about everything, singing the wrong song lyrics and shopping until my
legs hate me.
Guilty pleasures -
Musicals and Taylor Swift.
Lover of watching
Vines, Miranda Hart and chocolate.
I live in Wales with
my daughter - my favourite little person in the whole world.
