Rickie Summers is classified as cute, quiet and the invisible girl-next-door. Content on being unnoticed, her control-freak self is used to the fact that her days in the hellhole called high school won’t get worse than it already is. But then the gorgeous plot-twist named Josh Lennox came into view, and her life suddenly became unpredictable and out of hand. Although her complete annoyance over this unruly hot mess, she cannot deny the compelling feeling she has for this bad boy. Everything about him speaks of trouble. How will she trust someone like him when all he ever did was just hit on her? Or does he have other plans and schemes on their love-hate relationship? What will she do now when all her plans and decisions are suddenly out of her control? And most importantly, what if they fall in love with each other? Do opposites really attract? A corny, conventional and clichéd story, these two contrasting individuals are going to prove how their own highschool romance is actually different from the rest of the world. ~

The bad boy that protects the girl he never had.

Excerpt The highly anticipated start of a new romantic suspense series from the beloved, USA Today bestselling author of Ten Tiny Breaths. Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him? Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried. The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.
