"Why do you feel the need to disobey me?" His voice made the entire room freeze over. There was a fire burning in the corner, but I had goosebumps over my dark skin. "I don't know." "That's not a good answer. You almost died tonight because you're stubborn." "I told you I'm a hand full." With one swift movement he was up and I was pinned against his wall. The pit in my stomach was feeling up with hot, wet desire and I bit my bottom lip. "You will learn that I am not a toy and you will not play with me. You will learn to respect and obey me. And if you don't, you will suffer." He disappeared out of the room and left me with only the fire and books to occupy the rest of my evening. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

a woman who lives in the woods alone, and one day, a man from outer space shows up on her doorstep-the same man she's been dreaming about for two years.

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
