Hadley grew up without a father. So when she learns her mother's getting married, she doesn't mind. It's the summer before she starts college and her stepfather moves in, bringing his son with him. Hadley never knew he had a son and she can't stand the fact that she'll have to deal with someone else too. As she gets to know him, she can't help but dislike him. Maddox has always been on good terms with the girls. They give him what he wants, then walk away. He's perfectly happy with that. When he meets Hadley, he can't stand her. She's a snobby, spoiled brat. But when their parents leave for a while, alcohol makes them think the complete opposite about each other. One kiss will change everything. {The first 5 chapters are published on Wattpad as a preview. The story is 100% complete & published on another platform (more info in my bio).
