Author Description

If my parents had it their way, I'd be off at college. Instead, I'm drowning in secrets, every one of them involving my brother's best friend. Hayes Wilder is a walking red flag, warning me to stay away. And yet, all I can think about are his calloused hands on my skin. He's a total player, on and off the ice, but right now, the only playing he wants to do is with me. Sneaking around isn't easy, especially when you live in a small town where nothing stays hidden. And when our secret ends up in the wrong hands, decisions and regrets come as a package deal. I've got everything I've always wanted right in front of me. All my dreams lying at my feet. But I'm forced to decide if loving him is worth losing myself. I wish someone would've told me that the prettiest of poisons are also the most lethal.This is a full-length novel and book one of three.
