Introducing The Vixen: The girl everybody wants to be, everybody but her that is.
"What does Vixen mean to you?" He laughs, shrugging at my stupid question. "The painting or you?" I look at the painting. It is truly beautiful. None of his others can even compare. "Sadly, me." His eyebrow raises, he hums before he begins to talk. "She has top grades, she has a spot on a cheer team, and everybody that knows her is wrapped around her little finger. They are always talking about how she is pretty much already prom queen, how she's going to be valedictorian, and how they wish they were her. Not me, I used to see her as spoilt and able to do she wanted, be anybody she wanted, I envied that. It changed when I first really met you, and you introduced yourself as Daisy. I realised you were just as trapped as me in this stupid town."
Daisy Vixen or as everybody knows her Vixxy has everything a girl in senior year wants. She is a Vixen sister, the popularity came from her sister's high school years, as being captain of the best county cheer team. She doesn't mind the popularity, but it gets old after 4 years of everybody wanting to be her friend, and only when it's to get in a good word to her sister. There are three things people don't know about her, one: Her name is Daisy, two: She hates cheerleading, and three: She's always wanted to be average.
Blade Harris, the town delinquent that is sick of being blamed. Ever since he left the gang you can't leave; They have framed him for almost everything. It's just what it is when the local police are corrupt. Not that he wouldn't be a suspect anyway, the tattoos, the scars, and the brooding attitude. In all honesty, he wants to be a painter. It's all being put on hold when the authorities require his assistance in a dangerous case he's related to.
Join Daisy and Blade as their connection becomes far more than just the colours he paints and the words she writes.
When River crosses paths with a man who speaks to every hidden hunger inside her, their connection spirals into an all-consuming pull neither of them can resist-but is she Grayson's salvation... or his ruin?
***
Everyone in River Avelle's hometown knows about Grayson Maddox-the troubled bad boy who almost killed another student in the middle of the school hallway. Those who look into Grayson's eyes only see pure fury and hatred.
They all think he's beyond redemption, even Grayson himself.
But not River. As the seemingly perfect good girl, River saw something more in those alluring grey eyes. Something worth holding onto.
From the first time their eyes connect, both Grayson and River feel the intense, undeniable attraction between them...but neither of them understand what's pulling them together so fiercely.
The closer they get and the more vulnerable they become, River has to wonder: is she saving Grayson from his darkness? Or is she just pulling him further into hers?

He tips my head toward his with his index finger, keeping my eyes trained on him and driving me crazy with the primal look on his face.
His grey eyes look heavy, filled with dark desire, and a shock runs up through my core. Everything around us disappears and all I can sense is him and the hardness pressing between my legs.
"What are you doing to me, River?" he whispers, his voice raspy and utterly captivated. His face is lowering and I'm closing my eyes, waiting for soft lips to press against mine. My whole body is on fire as I hold my breath for his touch.
