I was pushed onto the side of the car roughly. I gasped at the impact. "Oh, you hate me?" He asked as we both breathed heavily. He had me pinned between him and the car. His warm breath waved on my neck sending cold chills down my body. "Don't you ever say that again." He growled. I closed my eyes and looked down, afraid of his tone. "I know you Jamie...better than anyone-even Rick. That's funny huh? I know you more than your best friend?" He said breathlessly as I tried to push him off of me. *********************************************************************************** Jamie isn't your average girl, she's into car races, sports, and is constantly finding her way into trouble. She has a bad past that no one knows about except her best friend Rick. When Jamie moves back to her childhood home she is miserable. With her next door neighbor being her biggest bully, and her brother's best friend how will she survive? Bring in all your brother's friends, and high school, and you have a huge problem! Jamie falls hard for the boy she can't have, and is constantly hearing lectures to stay away from him by her brother Eric, and his friends. But, when secrets, and feeling are revealed everything changes.

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
