Summary from Goodreads:
Falling in love changes everything...
Three bad things I learned this year:
-People you trust lie, even parents.
-That hot guy, the one who’s totally into you, he might not be the one.
-Things are not always how they appear.
Three good things I learned this year:
-Best friends are always there for you, even when they’re far away.
-That other hot guy, the one who remembers your birthday, he just might be the one.
-Oh, and things are not always how they appear.
Anna Sanders expected an anonymous (and uneventful) senior year until she crossed paths with rich-and-sexy Jack Kyser and his twin sister Lucy.
Pulling Anna into their extravagant lifestyle on the Gulf Coast, Lucy pushed Anna outside her comfort zone, and Jack showed her feelings she’d never experienced... Until he mysteriously withdrew.
Anna turned to her internship at the city paper and to her old attraction for Julian, a handsome local artist and rising star, for distraction. But both led to her discovery of a decades-old secret closely guarded by the twins’ distant, single father.
A secret that could permanently change all their lives.
Undertow, Book #2 is OUT NOW!!!
Excerpt from Dragonfly:
Soon we were back in the Jeep headed
southeast toward home. The top was off, but the crisp fall air didn’t wreak as
much havoc with my curls as in the summertime. I was starting to relax until we
turned toward the beach road instead of town. I looked over at him.
His eyes were on the road. “Want to look
at the water?”
“Sure,” I said, studying his profile,
the wind pushing his hair around his face.
He parked in the same lot as the first
time we came here after that first dance. With the engine off, the sound of the
breakers crashing and the hiss of the surf were loud and close. The salty
ocean-smell was strong.
“I’m going to miss this,” he said under
his breath, sliding his hands from the wheel to his lap. “Sometimes at night, I
leave all the windows open so I can hear it.”
I nodded. “It always helps me relax.”
His eyes moved to me, and he held out
his hand. I put mine in it, and he pulled gently. For a half-second, I
hesitated. Then I crossed the space between us, letting him pull me onto his
lap facing him in a straddle.
His warm hands found the skin under my
sweater and his mouth was on my neck just as fast. My whole body was instantly
burning, and I tried to calm my flying heart. But it was pointless. I was gone.
“Do friends make out?” I managed to say,
eyes closed.
“Good friends,” he said against my skin before
slipping a hand behind my neck and pulling my mouth to his.
The hand on my back traveled higher,
loosening my bra, and I slid my fingers into his hair as he caressed me. I was
moving, kissing him deeply, my heart pounding as the pressure built low in my
stomach.
The feelings were so intense, so good, I
didn’t care what was coming. I didn’t care if I cried tomorrow or all week. I
broke away to gasp for air, and his hands moved to my hair, pulling my ear to
his mouth.
