PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS TOXIC!

"Oh right, the waitress. Sorry I can't think straight with pretty women around me, especially this red head. What's your name, love?"
The audacity to openly flirt with me, I'm a stranger for fuck's sake. Noting his rich English accent, I'm guessing he's from the Southern Suburbs and doesn't speak a word Afrikaans, unlike Erina and I. Typical behaviour.
"Please, you probably tell that to all the women you see here. Let me guess, your next cheesy pick-up line is going to be, 'Do you ladies come here often?'" I snort out.
"Her name is Skylar, please excuse her, she hasn't been in the public for quite a while now, so she forgot how to socialise," Erina says with a smile while taking her drink from the tray and takes a sip.
******************************************
Skylar Read was once told that love is toxic. She did not believe it of course.
After getting her heart shattered by a guy named Dwayne, she falls out of love, with being in love and desperately wants to break away from the boring cycle of school and work.
She meets a handsome man named Sven, who is the opposite of Dwayne, and becomes infatuated with him but still struggles to get her first love off of her mind.
Through the course of her relationship, she steps out of her comfort zone and crosses boundaries she thought she never would, but can Sven really be that perfect?
Will Miss Read learn that love is indeed toxic? If so, will she manage to escape the ties that will bind her to this toxic relationship before she becomes intoxicated?

"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.
