She hated him, she genuinely hated him. He was cute, very attractive, but his attitude and mouth made him almost repulsive. He was an asshole to say the least, and she wanted nothing to do with him, which really said something about his character. She was gentle and sweet-- the whole school loved her, from a distance, but Preston could see past that. He lived next to the school's sweetheart, and the sounds he heard from her home weren't exactly as sweet as her. He wanted to know her. He wanted to know why she was so guarded. He wanted to know why she wouldn't allow anyone to see her for who she really was. And he was determined to see the unseen, no matter how he got there. So what happens when, in the midst of a weather crisis, the two get trapped in a very small room, alone. Will Preston finally get the answers he's always wanted, or will Kayla continue to keep herself hidden?

Being a part of a close-knit group of friends has its perks. You share laughs together, you have fun together. Everything is always so perfect...until it isn't. Trust is broken, friendships begin to diminish. Lies are told and loyalty is unheard of. Turning on one another, one by one, until there is nothing left. What will the outcome be?

*SAMPLE* Yazmeen isn't proud to admit that she has been stripping since she was 18 years old. Now at 24 she's still living the same life but is striving for better. Lady Luck seemed to be smiling on her when she was accepted into college, until the hole in the wall strip joint she worked at got raided in a drug bust. Dishearten, Yaz has other choice but to start over at a classier, strip club that just opened up. That's where she met HIM. Aleksandr Prakenski seems well-mannered, soft spoken, and has obtained fame at the of 34. He has everything anyone could ever want, and yet, he feels like he's missing something. Maybe it's the fact that he can't stand to be intimately involved with anyone unless it's anonymous sex. When he sees Yaz dancing at Cherish, he is mesmerized and instantly wants her. Yazmeen says she's not for sale. However, to a man like Aleksandr, he knows that everyone has a price.
