Knock Out Kind Of Love

"Cory isn't home." I opened the door to Aidan, my brother's best friend, walking up the driveway.

"I'm not here for Cory."

"Well then, I'm not home."

Corina Parker has grown up being sheltered by her mother, and recently her older-brother-by-four-years Cory Parker.

Having moved schools from the private school an hour away from home to the local state school, where everyone knows everyone, for her A Levels was hard enough considering she hates her small town living. Not only does she have to spend two years with people she doesn't particularly like, but now she's under even more scrutiny by her family.

Over are her days of going out and messing around, she knows she has to buckle down in her last year of school to have any chance of getting away from this hell hole and into a university that guarantees her at least three years of unsupervised, completely adulterated fun.

But as Corina enters her final year, Cory's best friend, Aidan, seems to be hanging around the house a lot more. Aidan's known Corina her whole life, so nothing baffles her more when it starts to seem like he's taken an interest in her. Corina isn't stupid, she knows when to appreciate a good looking, charming man such as Aidan, but she knows he's off limits considering he's her older brother's best friend.

But does Aidan know not to cross boundaries?
