Jacqueline Bailey is a starry-eyed geek longing for a storybook romance. Instead, she settles for Carter Camila (a safe option, seeing as attractive high school guys always intimidated her). After her first year at Southwark University, Jack grows more mature and questions her relationship with her high school sweetheart. That's when the mysterious Griffin Chang nearly hits her with his motorcycle. Crass, isolated, and apathetic, Griffin was the last person Jack expected to fall for. However, after many laborious partner assignments, some drunken nights, and getting lost in the woods, Griffin's mask disappears and Jack learns his deepest secrets, some of which could put her life in danger. Trigger Warnings: This book will contain light-hearted and funny scenes, but it will go to dark places later. Please do not read if you have personal problems or are triggered by depression and other mental health issues, suicide, substance abuse, and gun violence (I'll expand more on that in the first part). Don't let this warning scare you too much, though. For the most part, this story is fun and appropriate, but it wouldn't be accurate to real life if I didn't include heavy subjects.

Living abroad is hard. Especially when you cant shake the feeling that your new flatmates /friends just don't really get you, not to mention the obnoxious top 100 playlist they seem to play on loop that drives you insane. Adapting to university life in the chilly town of Birmingham, England, June explores life living away from home; drinking for the first time (regrettably), making new friends (hopefully), and trying (desperately) to forget about what pushed her away from home in the first place... But when she meets a handsome stranger on her first night out with her erratic new friends, June begins to find herself drawn to his wit and charms...but something more lays beneath the surface with Rainer; maybe it is his indescribable quality that makes June feel like she belongs. Or maybe its the mysterious texts and phone calls from another woman that intrigues her most. One thing is for sure, exploring her new found freedom from home has never felt so liberating...

"I love you but I hate you. I miss you, but I'm better off without you. I want out of my life, but I never want to let you go."

Peeking over at the unknown man in the woods, I can't see his sickly figure, only the darkness of the forest. Am I alone again? Where am I? Who am I? "On behalf of Alpha Harris of the Wildfyre pack, I demand you to state your name, status and intentions on our land." Whipping around I see the sickly man from before with someone standing before him. This new man is an intimidating wall of muscles and scars, intently staring into my eyes with a murderous gleam. I decide it's best to answer before this clearly seasoned warrior turns his stares into actions. "I don't know Sir."
