Затова, когато богат и харизматичен мъж проявява интерес към нея, тя не се заблуждава, че техните взаимоотношения ще продължат повече от една нощ. Няколко седмици по-късно Тиа осъзнава, че е трябвало да го попита за телефонния му номер. Или поне за фамилното му име... И се примирява, че едва ли ще го видим отново. Докато един ден, години по-късно, Лоугън Кендрик не се появява изненадващо в живота ѝи не преобръща всичко с главата надолу. Този път тя няма да направи същата грешка и ще се бори да го задържи, но не зареди себе си... _________________________________________ Книга първа от поредицата ЛАРК КОУВ. _________________________________________ Книгата се издава под това лого, запазена марка ЕГМОНТ.

Charlotte's life at home was anything but simple. There was a lot of fighting and money issues, but everyone climbs a mountain to see the sunrise. Charlie was just waiting to stop climbing. Waiting. And waiting. And freakin waiting. She'd been going to the same school since first grade and knew the kids almost as well as she knew her younger brother. But they didn't know her that well. Logan. Stupid Logan. He had to come into her life, become her best friend, have her fall for him, then decide to date her other best friend before dating the school slut and losing his virginity to her in eighth grade. If you're wondering, Charlotte's pretty fantabulous at holding grudges. Yet as the new school year comes around a new guy, Xavier, enters the neighborhood and finally draws Charlie's attention away from Logan. He's special, different, kind, sweet, mysterious and definitley over protective. What happens when the love of your life doesn't exactly love you back or when a new guy comes skedaddaling into the picture? No one really knows. And no one in the world really cares. Puh-lease girlfriend, cry me a river.

Someone walks into the room but I cannot see its face. It looks like a man and by the look of his posture, he seems very important. "Why were you in my territory?" His voice is strangely calm however I think its the calm before the storm. "I didn't know it was your territory! For gods sake how many times do I have to tell you people? Just let me go and I promise I won't say anything to anyone. Not like I have anyone to tell." The last part I said in a whisper. He didn't need to know the situation I was in. I hear the cock of a gun making me raise my head. The all too familiar sound ringing in my ears. "I don't believe you bitch, so you better tell me the truth or your brains are gonna end up on the wall." Ah there's the storm. "A gun doesn't scare me arsehole, I've had way worse things than that!" He steps forward into the light so I can see his features. He is extremely good looking but right now is not the right time to admire his beauty. I stare straight into his pitch black eyes, daring him to try harder than this. He smirks and leans forward searching my eyes. Before I can even register what's happening, he punches me in the face. *** Mature Content
