Exclusive Excerpt
As I swept inside the front doors of the library, I started
grinning. Even the possibility of getting to see him had my blood pounding with
excitement. I didn’t have to search; I went straight to our spot. But as I
turned down the aisle of books that led there, I slowed to a stop. He wasn’t
there.
My shoulders slumped. But then a breath later, two arms slid
around my waist, making me squeak in surprise. I was pulled back against a hard
chest I’d recognize anywhere.
“You came.” His voice was filled with wonder before he spun me
around.
His smile created a buzz that echoed through my entire body. I
grinned back and touched his dimple; my lips hurt from stretching them so far.
His own smile widened. And then he was pulling me up to his level and kissing
me.
“God, Zoey. I can’t resist you in a pair of jeans or even
shorts. But a skirt—” He shook his head even as his palms caught my bare thighs
and smoothed their way up the outsides, right under my skirt. “You want to kill
me, don’t you?”

**Explicit Scenes and Language**
I used to think everything was black and white, truth or lie, easy or hard, that if I could just escape my strict, overbearing, abusive father, my life would be perfect. But since I’ve found a reason to risk his wrath and leave, to help a friend in need, I’ve come to realize everything I thought I knew is wrong.
Friends have their own agenda, honesty comes with a dosage of lie, easy doesn’t even exist, keeping secrets sucks, and love...love is the most painful thing of all.
Maybe if Quinn Hamilton hadn’t asked me to skip classes for the day and help him pick out an engagement ring for my best friend, I wouldn’t have fallen for him so completely on that sunny Tuesday afternoon and I wouldn’t feel so conflicted. But I did, and I can’t take it back, no matter how hard I try. So I have to deal with the fact that even I’m not as good, or honest, or caring as I’d always thought I was, and no matter what I do next, someone’s going to get hurt. Probably me.
