"We were complete opposites.  Jackson's life before me consisted of him pushing away anyone who tried to get close, while I wore my heart on my sleeve."
----------------------------

Maggie Carpenter is a waitress at a high-end club in Arizona who loves nothing more than a quiet night cozying up with a good book.  One fateful night she ends up serving Jackson Porter, a devastatingly handsome yet brooding British author, celebrating the National Book Awards nomination for his newest novel.  It's an instant magnetic attraction for the two of them but there's just one problem, they're polar opposites.  

Due to his abnormal upbringing, Jackson's life before Maggie consisted of him pushing away anyone who tried to get close, while she was an open book who always wore her heart on her sleeve. He had tattoos, piercings, and cursed like a sailor, yet she was mild-mannered and did everything to please those around her.  Both stubborn in their own ways, Maggie needs someone to show her how to live in the moment, yet Jack needs someone to keep him grounded. 

Jackson lives his life wild and free, while Maggie toils her life away living vicariously through the pages in her books.  But the reality is, neither of them were really living until their stories collided. 

Excerpt-
"I know that I've fallen in love with a man who isn't ready to catch me but that's the crazy part about it, isn't it? You don't get to choose who you love or when it happens. There are no warning signs to keep you from getting too close to the edge. It's like a roller coaster, exhilarating and terrifying at the same time."  

Will she end up convincing him their love is worth the fall or simply be used as a pawn in his latest book?

His hands move to the back of my thighs again as he nods. "Yes ma'am" he tells me leaning to my height as he seals his lips over mine kissing me. I don't stop him from moving his tongue into my mouth as I hold his head softly and he moves my body closer to his. He grips me by my back when he starts kissing down the side of my cheek to my neck. He moves to my clavicle kissing it and moving up as he starts sucking on my neck, and it feels so good. I don't stop him as I rub his head and shoulder blade softly, he makes his way up, and he kisses me again as I push my tongue into his mouth this time. I don't really know what I'm doing, but when he bites my lip and pushes his chest to where it's touching mine my hormones go crazy for him. "Make me stop" he tells me pulling away to kiss down the opposite side of my neck. "Make me stop Grace" he tells me again kissing my lips again. "Don't ever stop kissing me" I demand to him meaning it as I grab both sides of his face and bring his lips to mine, I feel confident for the first time in my life, and he makes me feel good.

Warning: Mature Content. Outside, it was cold and breezy, with those familiar night stars that twinkled above us years ago. We walked side by side along the little path that ran across the gigantic grassy park at the center of campus. I held my breath every time my swinging hand brushed his, hoping to feel his warm palm in mine again. I just wanted more with him, but I knew it was wishful thinking. So I buried it. I buried it with the silence and the distant looks. I desperately wanted us to go back to being friends, before all the feelings showed up, before he embarrassed me in front of half the school by dismissing any chance at us being together. ~o~ Evelyn Martinez has had her heart broken exactly once, by Liam Saunders. But that was over a year ago, so it shouldn't bother her when she sees him with his best friend, Mason Van der Gelt, in the busy dining hall on her university...right? Her best friend, Harper Green, decides to take the situation into her own hands by fulfilling the promise she had given Evelyn the year before, that if she ever met him, she'd break his heart. An eye for an eye. Operation Dickbag's Heartbreak. Yet, as the plan proceeds, Evelyn starts to date Mason, almost falling for his charm and sincerity. Almost. Her heart was still Liam's, no matter how damaged it may be. This proves to be a problem when Harper falls for him as well. Everything changes when Liam reveals his own feelings and the truth behind why he hurt Ev. Commitments and loyalty become a house of cards in a hurricane as truths start to spill, leaving their chances at happiness to hang by a thread. Fair warning, there are detailed sex scenes and a shit ton of cursing.
