Spoiled Princess is what he used to call me.
We were an inferno of hate and passion wound up with a dash of chaos.

For four years I watched him mow my lawn.
For four years I watched my friends make fun of him.
For four years I hated myself for wanting him, but even more for the way I treated him.

And then I had him.
For one night, we put all labels away and I spent the best night of my life in his arms.
Then the next day, with my secret night under lock and key, I looked the other way while my friends shamed him.

But now the jokes on me, because the scrawny lawn boy who I secretly loved from afar is now the director of Hollywoods most exclusive summer camp.

And I'm on his staff.
Now it's his turn to punish me.
His turn to make me pay.
His turn to take his revenge after years of humiliation.

He's no longer a boy you can ridicule.
But a college graduate who can have any woman he wants.
I want him to look at me the way he did that one night we had together, but right now
the look in his eyes tells me he's going to enjoy having me under him for two straight months.
I don't know where his hatred ends, his passion begins.
All I know is he wants revenge.
And I'm his lucky target.

What a fun and sexy read, this is sexual tension at it’s finest!!! Marlon and Ray’s chemistry is off the charts hot! I still can’t decide if I want them to be together or tear each other to shreds. This is the first book in the series so it was mostly setting the scene, and there’s a lot more to learn about Ray! And just when I thought they’d get their chance to be together… so glad I don’t have to wait too long for the next book in the series!

A taste

My favorite mistakes. Finding myself in his room. Finding myself in his arms. Finding my mouth on his. Skin against skin. Tongue swirling around tongue. It had been the best kiss of my life. We'd both been wasted. And I'd ignored him the next day.
I was asking for trouble. And heartache all in one. But his eyes? Those eyes, they haunted me.
