"Now, Briar," he flashes me a wolfish grin, "I am going to kiss you, and it's going to save your life."
SUMMARY:
When independent, hardworking university student Briar Wood meets Lock, he strikes her as exactly the sort of person she needs to stay away from if she wants to keep her scholarship and her secret. Lock has a reputation on campus as some sort of brilliant amateur detective but Briar finds him rude, arrogant, and too observant for his own good. Unfortunately, his curly black hair, bright blue eyes, and intricately tattooed biceps keep popping up where she least expects them to--like in her dorm, at the coffee shop where she works, and in her astronomy class. Against her better judgement, Briar allows herself to be seduced by Lock's rough charms and sharp wits until she finds herself not only tangled in his sheets but in a web of conspiracy that threatens to ensnare the entire campus.
