The People Choice Awards 2019 Winner for Best Diverse Books Never had Autumn thought that she would break up with her boyfriend, Tyler, until the day she met Frazier Ronan, the one person who turned her life upside down, created chaos, and made her defy all her principles. ***** For someone rude and cunning, it surprised me how he could be soft when it came to kissing. He placed soft kisses at the corners of my lips and held my face in his warm hands as his fingers tangled in the hair above my ears, tugging my ponytail and messing with my hair. His brown eyes filled my vision, hard and intense, a direct contradiction to his hot, sensual mouth. The tip of his tongue touched the seam of my lips, and my breath caught in my throat. I could feel a jolt clear in the soles of my feet, a warm tingling that curled my toes and settled in the pit of my stomach. The kiss was tender, almost sweet, and I fought to keep my eyes open and pressed my lips tight. I fought to remind myself that the lips brushing mine, as if he were my lover, belonged to an egomaniac asshole who told lies and swore to make my life miserable. When your bully becomes your knight in shining armor, what would you do?

❝Please stop!❞I suck in a sharp breath trying to push him away. He gropes my butt while staring coldly into my eyes. ❝I'm going to treat you like the little slūt you are!❞ He whispers darkly into my ear, his warm breath fanning over my cold skin. I close my eyes trying to suppress all my ironical desire for his lips. ❝I'm not a slūt!❞ I shriek turning my head away from him. Trying to catch a breath of cold air because the fire between us is consuming everything. ❝I'll make you PAY!❞ He growls pushing me to the wall harshly. He pushes his body against mine and I let out involuntary whimpers. She is FIRE. He is ICE. They are different but they will kill you all the same. ~•~•~•~•~•~ Kismet - Destiny; Fate.
