some boys aren’t easy to forget.
Dylan Crawford has hated the Roseville Snobs his entire

should stay away from her, but willpower has never been his strong suit. Soon
Brooke is all he can think about. When she leaves for school, Dylan tries to
move on with other girls, but the memory of Brooke taunts him. There’s an
undeniable pull to the very girl he’s been warned to stay away from.
When tragedy strikes the Kingsley household, secrets are
uncovered. Brooke and Dylan must decide if what they feel for each other is
strong enough to conquer their families’ dark past.

“I’m
going to kiss you now,” he breathed, his eyes searching my face.
I
bobbed my head, my heartbeat a hopeless flutter in my chest. “Okay.”
The
breath of his chuckle landed on my mouth as his lips pressed against mine. My
body sagged against his, and I brought my arms up and twined them around his
neck. Tilting my head to the side, I moved my mouth against his, moaning when
his tongue slipped through my lips. I could spend the rest of my life kissing
Dylan Crawford.
Somewhere
I thought I heard a cell phone ringing, but I was too lost in the sensations
consuming my body.
“You
wanna get that?” Dylan spoke against my lips, one side of his mouth lifted in a
smirk.
“No,”
I whispered.
“It’s
probably your mama or daddy,” he said with an arched brow.
I bit my
lip to hold back my smile. “You’re probably right, but they’re not going to
ruin the last night I have with you. I’ll deal with them later.”
“I see
my bad influence is rubbing off on you.”
“Would
you rather I answer it so they can tell me to come home on my last night?”
Dylan’s
smile flattened, and his eyes searched my face as though he was trying to
memorize my every feature. I studied him as well, taking in his bright green
eyes, strong jawline and full lips. I could not believe I was in his arms, after
daydreaming about him for four years. Everything about our time together seemed
surreal, and I knew once I left for school, it would be surreal—a dream
from a time in my life where I came alive. My own smile disappeared as I
wondered how long it would take him to forget our time together. Come tomorrow
night would he be entertaining a new girl, taking her fishing and mud
wrestling? It was very hard to remember that he could do whatever he wanted. We
were not dating and probably never would. Our time was a fantasy that reality
would crush tomorrow.
“Why
the pouty face?”
I
hadn’t realized I was zoning out, lost in my thoughts. “I’m not pouting.”
Dylan
leaned forward and sucked my bottom lip in between his. My eyes wide, my heart
thudding in my chest, I suppressed the moan in my throat and the heat it had
created between my legs.
“I
couldn’t resist,” Dylan said, setting me down. “It was just out there, teasing
me with its cuteness.”
You guys may be surprised to learn that I am the most boring
person you’ll ever meet. The most interesting thing about me is that I write
books, most of the time in my pajamas and jacked up on caffeine.
I began writing six years ago for fun and published my first
book in 2012. Since then, my hobby has become my job and I love every second of
it.
I live in Illinois, in the country where I’m surrounded by
corn and soybean fields. When I manage to escape my office, I enjoy fishing,
spending time with my family and playing Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong.
Yes, I’m a huge video game nerd.
