BEN They all know me as Ben Beltran, a poor kid from a working class town who lucked into a baseball scholarship at elite Black Mountain Academy. That’s mostly a lie. There’s a lot at stake and I have no patience for some uptight snot who sticks her nose in where it doesn’t belong. Camden Galway is another scholarship case from my crappy neighborhood and she’s just begging to be taught a lesson. She’ll find out the hard way that she has no idea what she’s dealing with. CAMDEN I need to succeed for my family’s sake as much as my own. And I refuse to be interrupted by some brooding jock with a wicked reputation. Sure, Ben Beltran can turn heads by rocking that bad boy heartbreaker vibe. But some things about him don’t add up. He assumes the taste of his lips and the feel of his muscles can distract me from digging for the truth. I’m going to prove him wrong. No matter how much he hates me for it... This high school enemies romance is a stand alone and part of the Black Mountain Academy series.

I'm a huge fan of insta-love, grunge era flannel, my vintage Kenmore sewing machine, embroidered dishcloths and absolutely everything that has to do with 1980s pop culture (i.e. leg warmers, scrunchies, big hair, early Madonna, boom boxes, wood paneled walls, stonewash jeans, etc). If you believe in Happily Ever After and improbable love stories, chances are I'll love you too!! Email: corabrentwrites@yahoo.com
