Harper Reeves just wants to survive senior year at Yale without being the lonely loser on campus. But when her dad’s annoyingly hot best friend, Chris Collins, crashes her party, everything flips. Her plan? Operation Seduction – make him fall for her so Dad kicks him out. Problem is, the more Chris swoops in to save her, the more her heart gets in the way.
He shakes his head and bites his fist. I want to take his pain away, but I need to know the truth, so I let him talk. “After your mother told me to keep you safe if anything happened to her, it freaked me out, so I started tailing her. That fucking car that rammed…
Our mouths reconnect and a surge of intensity seizes me. His touch. His full, soft lips on mine. It feels so right, and I clench around him, holding on, but wanting him deeper. I need him deeper. He grabs my hips and pulls them into his. I’m burning up with his heat. His mouth. His…

Every ounce of attention he’s paying me drives me wild. Every touch shoots electricity through me. Every flick of his tongue sets me ablaze. My heart feels like it’s slamming against my ribs.

“Not bad for a guy who hates romance,” Mark says, dangling his car keys. “What’s wrong, Chris? Not going to tell me this isn’t what it looks like?” Fuck. “No,” I tell him, straightening my shoulders. “It’s exactly what it looks like.” His eyes grow wide. “Wow. You could at least lie to me, pal.”…
“She does have a cracking set of jugs on her!” Bryan shouts. Shaking my head at Chris, my heart aches as I watch a single tear roll down his cheek. “Get your fucking hands off my daught?-“ The guy behind my dad pistol whips him and he falls on his face. “How about I carve…
