Hazel has spent years clawing her way back from one cruel setback after another, shaping her life into something so controlled it can't fall apart again. Every goal has a plan. Every risk has a rule. Getting into her dream university is supposed to be the clean start-the beginning of the career she's bled for. Then, on her first day, she breaks the very first rule. It starts with getting into that damn car. Damien Hunter is trouble in human form: sharp-tongued, arrogant, and irritatingly amused by the way he can make Hazel snap. She should hate him. She does hate him-right up until the bickering turns into charged silences, lingering looks, and the kind of longing that risks everything she's worked for. But Damien isn't just a distraction. He's a storm with something to hide. As Hazel is pulled deeper into his orbit, she starts noticing the cracks: the half-truths, the sudden disappearances, the way his story never quite matches the rumours. And the closer she gets, the more she realises Damien isn't running from university drama-he's running from something darker. Something that could destroy them both. Now Hazel has a choice: cling to the rules that kept her safe... or risk everything for a boy who might be lying about who he is. Because falling for Damien was the easy part. Surviving what he's hiding is another.

[SAMPLE] Reed frowned, his eyes filled with confusion when he saw that Lena seemed to be fine. "I heard a scream," he announced stiffly, standing awkwardly over Lena's bed. Beneath the sheets, Lena was torn between renewed arousal and slight mortification. Embarrassment won. "Everything's fine," she muttered, trying to discreetly disengage the battery-operated toy from between her thighs. It was a thick phallus, way too thick to silently exit her wet pússy, but finally, finally, it popped out. "But you screamed." "Because I came, Reed." His bewilderment only grew. "Came where?" And that was when Lena knew that even after what had happened between them last night, Reed was still like a newborn, an innocent. He might have been the most intelligent guy she knew but in many ways, he was still the boy he'd been before the accident that had marred his life. So she heaved out a sigh, clamping her thighs together when she felt his gaze scorch her damp skin. "I had an orgasm, Reed." She calmly spelled it out, wondering if she should mention that it was his cock she'd been imagining inside her. Now that she knew what he was packing, it was impossible to get the image out of her head - not that she was trying. Reed swallowed, a blush creeping up his neck. Lena was instantly turned on by that blush, by his obvious discomfort and arousal. So she did the most natural thing that came to her. She pulled her sheets away.
