Lily’s boyfriend cheated with her best friend. She runs straight into Mason Cooper: her BF’s biggest rival. He’s cocky, gorgeous, and exactly the kind of trouble she should avoid. What starts as one unexpected conversation by the lake quickly turns into something dangerous because getting over heartbreak was never supposed to feel this good.
LILY I can’t believe what I’m seeing. Oliver, sex hair and shirtless, Leah trembling in her bra and panties behind him. My boyfriend and my best friend. An icy rage comes over me, and all I can say is, “How long?” “This is the first time,” says Olly. “Six months,” says Leah at the same…
“Wait a minute-Olly? You don’t mean Oliver Kingsley, do you?” “You know him?” I ask, turning to properly look at the stranger, and taken aback by how beautiful his green eyes are. “We’re kinda mortal enemies.” He winces. “You’re Mason Cooper?” I frown, looking him up and down. I hadn’t recognized him without a helmet…
He pushes back the hood and his curls fall onto his forehead, above his electric green eyes. How is he making the most casual outfit possible look so hot? “That was fast,” I say faintly. “I live two streets over.” He half-smiles as I open the door wider for him to come inside. “Sooo…” I…
I can’t believe I didn’t even know him this morning and now his naked body is inches from mine. Before I overthink it, I blurt out, “Want to help me?” “Do the list?” “Yeah? Be my list buddy.” “I’ll be your list buddy, sure,” he says, nodding. “We’ll do every single thing that the Neanderthal…
“We can get you there, we just need to come at six when it’s cooler.” “Six a.m.? During summer vacation?” I snort. “It’s not that bad.” He shrugs. “Anyway, I was thinking we should climb the water tower tonight.” “Yeah?” I ask, feeling a smile take over my face. “Why not? But first… Race ya!”…
“I’ve seen a few people around and they’ve just given me this look of, I don’t know, pity. Which just pisses me off.” Mason frowns. “I don’t think I have the patience to deal with them,” he adds, shaking his head. “What about your friends?” I ask. I can’t even imagine what he’s going through.…
“If they see us together, I’m toast,” I whisper. “Sure you don’t want to make him jealous? We could walk out holding hands,” Mason grins. “You want to get your ass beat today? They’re dying for revenge.” “I’ll take my chances,” Mason says and starts to stand, but I grab his arm and tug him…
I mean like snacks M Chips? Candy? Carrot sticks? M Princess. I’m literally standing in the grocery store like an idiot right now… I smile as I read his texts, imagining him having a meltdown in the snack aisle. Lily I eat pretty much everything…why?? Before I can put my phone down, he texts back.…
I slowly stand up and shuffle down to stand in front of him. “No, I mean come here,” he says, scooting back and patting the space in front of him. “I want to cuddle,” he mutters sleepily. “Are you sure?” I whisper. “Stop overthinking, princess,” he says, opening one eye. When I don’t move, he…
“Can he come too? To hold my hand?” I ask, gesturing to Mason. “For sure,” the man agrees, still smirking. I sit down on a hospital-type bed as the man wipes my nose and does a dot in marker. “Is that spot good?” he asks, passing me a handheld mirror. “Looks good to me,” I…
