Avery wrapped an arm around my waist to catch me before I could get out the door. He pushed me up against the door, trapping me between his body and the door.
"What's wrong?" I asked innocently.
His face hovered over mine, much closer than I was used to. His gaze didn't leave mine as he spoke. "It would have been different if I had told him from the start. You wanted me to lie for you. You started this. If we tell him what really happened, he would be pissed at me for lying to him."
"Stormie, you got a phone call!" Mason yelled up the stairs.
The closeness between Avery and me started to make my legs feel like Jell-O, and I couldn't make sense of it. Our breathing became heavier. His eyes trapped mine.
"Answer him," Avery murmured.
"Uh," I stammered. I cleared my throat. "Be down in a minute!" My voice came out higher than usual. My gaze still couldn't escape Avery's. My heart raced wildly as his chest rose and fell against mine.
Avery's gaze flickered to my lips.
What's happening? My gaze fell to his mouth, which was moving closer to mine.
Stormie West is brave, kind, and young. She has a lot to learn about love, trust, lust, and heartbreak.
Stormie's older brother, Mason, is brave, cocky, and a bit of an asshole. He's the wide receiver for the high school football team.
Avery Prince is Mason's best friend. Avery has it all, popularity, star quarterback, and girls. What more could he want, right?

"You know....." he whispered seductively. "People would die to see us together."
Huh, as if. "Too bad their dreams won't ever come true." I leaned forward and gave him a sorry look.
"Ever." I added with a sharp edge and narrowed my eyes.
He smirked. I stood my ground. But I could still feel my cheeks take up a slight pink. It also made me think if Sam was my only mysterious problem. But I knew better.

They're arch-enemies.
One popular, friendly girl and a hugely dangerous secret.
One popular, arrogant guy and a dark deadly secret.
One ruined relationship.
Two entwined secrets.
They hate. They bite. They prank. They fight.
But above all.....they deny.
When popular and handsome Sam Drew Lockhart and just as much of his equal regarding arrogance and sarcasm, Lea Olsen Summers, find themselves at their usual revenge crossroads, sparks weren't meant to go off. They never did in the last three years, so why would they now?
With a mystery to unravel and a dangerous and mysterious stalker hot on her heels, Lea finds herself in a tight spot. What she thought would be easy, soon turned into a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
Feeling history repeat itself, Sam isn't really willing to let everything, including Lea, go easily. Even if his secrets are in danger of being revealed.
Now despite all this happening, was friendship; let alone love, still an option for these two? That too, when more than a few guys were willing to fight for Lea's affections?
Read to find out. And trust me........
You want to.
