I don't know how it happened. One minute I'm living an extremely lonely life and all it takes is getting lost to change all of that. But, change is good, right? Yeah, if you take the fact that I was entrusted with the most adorable little girl as good. Throw in a reunion with a twin brother that I haven't seen in years and a gang of bad boys to the pile and all is peachy keen. As complicated as it seems, there's more. Now, I have to keep a certain mystery boy away from me for my own sake. I have to deal with a brother that thinks these bad boys are his new best friends. And on top of all of that, someone's after me. Forget the fact that this is senior year. Why can't I just be Khloe Mason, an uncoordinated mess of fandoms. Now, I'm The Bad Boy's...What?

After a tragic accident that leaves young Lucas Donovan mute, he has to find a way to cope with his new life, while becoming Alpha at the same time. He never wanted to be Alpha. He was never supposed to be. But when his parents and older brother die when he is only fourteen years old, the Cipher pack is passed to him. As the years go on and frustrations rise, Lucas Donovan's only chance at maintaining the pack he never wanted, is to find his mate. Mae Matthews is loved by everyone around her. She is spoiled and cherished. She knows of her parents story. She's heard of the horror her family had to go through by an evil man named Castor. But that never dulled the light inside of her. Mae always saw the world in a different perspective. She always saw the good, rather than the bad. But when Lucas Donovan, the tragic man himself, claims to be her mate, she struggles to find the good in the situation.

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.

She didn't have the best past. Even with rich parents, and a coke boy for a brother, the money meant nothing. Life for her isn't as good as you picture. You'd be surprised at what could happen all because of a trip to Los Angeles. Cover made by @yunggawddess All rights reserved. Book I of the Nonchalant series.
