My subconscious wanted him even when logic said I shouldn't. Rejected, abused, and abandoned, all I’ve ever wanted was to be accepted, loved even. I thought going to college on a scholarship would be my ticket out of hell, but nothing good ever comes without a price. Desperation fuels me and a rash decision changes the course of my life. Everything I’ve ever wanted is within reach. Like a moth to a flame, my soul screams for him, but the horrors of my past hold me hostage. Can I trust my mangled heart in his perfect life when my past repeats itself or will he destroy what is left of me? \This book includes abuse. Previously released as Learning Curve, no words have been added.\

Everyone knows appearances can be deceiving, and in my case, even I’ve been fooled. The last thing I need is immature man-child, Alexander Bennet, trying to smile his way into my pants. I hate everything about him; his stupid smirk, his rumbling chuckle, and the way butterflies riot in my stomach when he aims them at me. Our sparring matches go from maddening to stimulating and suddenly my mind and body are at war. Unfortunately for me, my life is nothing but lies. Twisted secrets keep throwing us together then pulling us apart as we try to unravel it. Will the one person I want nothing to do with, be my salvation? Or are we doomed to tear each other apart? \If you have triggers, please proceed with caution\
