"Never call a girl a bitch," I glared into his eyes as he opened them, piercing into me, the bright blue drink I had just poured over him still dripping from his dark hair. "Or she just might act like one." I gave him one last sarcastic smile before pushing by him and walking away, practically strutting.

But she just so happens to also collide with the school's sexy, notorious jackass, Ashton Monroe.. and his pack of asswipes. She loathes him, and the feeling is mutual. But as the poets say, the line separating love and hate is a very thin one. And often times, when two people hate each other, it can grow into much more.

Book one. "One rule, broken" Lily Carter has spent her whole life being the good girl. Quiet, thoughtful and forever known as Hudson's twin sister. Hudson Carter is the star of Westbrook High's football team and his world revolves around the game... and Austin Moore, his best friend who is also the captain of the football team. Austin is everything Lily knows she should avoid. He's the bad boy with a smirk that makes girls forget how to breathe and a reputation for breaking hearts. Lily is not someone Austin ever thought he'd fall for, as Hudson has always made one thing very clear: Lily is off limits. While Hudson enjoys the crowds of people watching him and his team play football and weekends partying with his friends, Lily prefers the quiet. But everything changes when she catches the attention of Austin. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the connection between them. Behind Austins cocky grin and reputation for using girls, Lily sees someone different. Someone real. And once she starts falling, there's no turning back. One rule, broken. Full of drama, heartache and slow-burn romance, 'Off Limits' is all about forbidden love, family ties, close friendships and finding your own voice.
