I never wanted to come back... Aria: When I inherited Grandpa’s house, I had no plans to stick around. One night back home in Reckless Falls is more than enough. But he’s in my way. Derek Granger. The high school bad boy. The one I spent every night daydreaming about. I thought I knew what to expect with him. He was a misguided kid back then, but now? What is he hiding? I don’t care that Derek has piercing eyes and cheekbones that could cut glass. I definitely don’t care about his reputation for a huge… ego. Derek is an arrogant, drunken party boy. I need him gone. But when he looks at me with those dark eyes, his voice heavy with desire, I can barely manage to whisper, “Stay.” Derek: She’s the one who left, not me. Even though I had every reason to go. She ran away and broke her parents’ hearts. Now, she’s back from her glitzy life and she wants something from me. Little Miss Priss thinks she’s entitled to everything just because she’s a star. She can bat those pretty eyelashes at me. She can strut around in that curve-hugging dress and those tall boots. She can throw me against the wall and beg me to f*ck her, hard. She’s not kicking me out of my house. But I just might invite her into my bed.
Author
Vivian Lux is a penname for author Theresa Leigh Theresa Leigh is a romance author whose love of reading is so intense, she sometimes injures herself by walking around with her nose in a book. She loves writing stories that have you feeling every emotion... sometimes all on the same page. After five years of writing romance under a penname, Theresa finally decided to own up to how she was spending her all time. Her mother now knows all about the kinds of books she writes. She reacted more positively to it than Theresa expected. Theresa lives and writes in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York State (not the city) (that distinction is important to her), where she lives with her husband, twin sons and twin orange cats, Pumpkin and Jackie O’Lantern. When she's not writing or reading, she enjoys eating too much Thai food, walking around barefoot, and cooing baby talk at her cats.
