" Darling raise your head" The husky voice said to me as I continued to look at my feet, in which at the moment they seemed to be very interesting. " Darling I don't have all day." The husky voice continued. I didn't even need to lift my head to know who it was. He yanked my head upward with his hand on my chin. Trying to make me look in his eyes. I kept mine shut. He grunted... I could feel the aura of power around him as I continued to disobey. " Darling I will not hesitate to kill you" He began speaking slow trying to steady his anger " Then why haven't you killed me yet?" I asked, and made the worst decision I've ever made... I opened my eyes. At that moment only one word was going through my head, Mate. ******* Scarlett Smith is an average 19 year old were-wolf.

Emerson knows high school can be messy, but nothing could prepare her for Oliver Remmer's return. Dangerous, mysterious, and rumored to be a psychopath, he's the kind of boy everyone fears... and everyone watches. Yet Emerson isn't everyone. She sees the layers beneath his intense exterior-the boy shaped by a troubled past, moments of tenderness hidden under bursts of anger, and a vulnerability most people would never notice. Between the gossip, the chaos, and the adrenaline-charged tension, Emerson can't help but be drawn in. Oliver is unpredictable, and being near him is thrilling-and maybe a little bit reckless. Standing her ground almost feels like a dare. But some loves are worth the risk. Some loves are easy. Back Cover Copy: "Write down one word that describes you." Oliver didn't hesitate. Psychopath. Everyone expects me to run. To stay away. To be careful. But I didn't. Because there's something behind the intensity, the walls, the mystery. Something only I get to see. Because sometimes the thrill of the unknown is exactly what your heart has been waiting for. Set in North Carolina, Open is a teen romance about taking risks, discovering who someone really is, and finding that love can feel mysterious, dangerous... and irresistible. C O V E R B Y @ZiaDavis
