Synopsis:
Lexi has sworn off guys for good.
She’s always been a hot mess, but accidentally finding her boyfriend of three years cheating on her is just too much for her to handle.
All she wants is to get this summer done and over with, so she and her best friend Elena can travel cross country for college. Then she will finally be free of this town, the friends that dropped her in favor of her ex, and her klutzy reputation.
Lexi’s policy was working perfectly, until a guy named Mason comes to her rescue. Not once but twice in one night. For once, her mishaps have led to something good.
She’s feeling things that scare her, but she’s drawn to him. Can Mason break through her walls, or will she stick to her plan and steer clear of him?
This is a new adult romantic comedy. Recommended for ages 17+ due to mature content.
EXCERPT
I
couldn’t wait to get these tights off, not to mention the heels. I was getting
some major blisters and my feet were killing me, but those would have to wait
until I made it home. Opting for the far bathroom to avoid the mile-long line
at the nearby one, I continued down the halls until they had significantly
thinned out.
It was a
relief when I finally made it. I pushed the door open and stepped inside. I
momentarily relaxed as I hastily took off my tights and replaced my shoes. The
ragamuffin look wasn’t really in style and I was glad to get rid of my ripped
tights.
Shifting
quickly, I spared a glance in the mirror only to find my eyeliner smudged. I
definitely had the goth look going on. With a paper towel, I carefully wiped
the smears away until I looked normal again. I tossed the rag in the trash and
my hand found the door handle.
Just as
I was about to leave, I heard a very inappropriate moan. Ugh, some people had
no class. Sex in a high school bathroom was disgusting. Just thinking about all
the germs and STDs that could be acquired grossed me out.
Not
wanting to know who it was, I headed to the door so I could slip out as quickly
as possible.
I was so
close to escaping unscathed. That was, until I heard a familiar voice urging
the girl on. At first, I froze, stunned. It couldn’t be; it just couldn’t. At
that moment I suddenly didn’t care if I was interrupting hot sex.
