Synopsis: My life has always been safe. I like it that way. I grew up in a
fake society where plastic hearts rule. If our hearts are made of
plastic, they can never be broken. My parents have expectations and I
do everything I can to meet them, even if it means giving up on my
own dreams.
Now, all I want is to be free to make my own choices.
Dane Wright is everything I have been warned to stay away from. We met one night while I was with my perfect, parent-approved boyfriend and I haven’t stopped thinking about him. I don’t want to like him. I am doing everything I can to ignore his pull, but my heart seems to want what it cannot have, what it has never had.
Can he measure up? He may think I am too good for him, but maybe he is too good for me.
Life is a series of choices and I have never been able to make my own. Until one day, when my heart decides to make a choice for me.
Excerpt: I
felt a finger under my chin, lifting my gaze back up to his eyes. “Hi,” he
said. I couldn’t quite hear his voice, but I could read his amazing lips under
the strobe lights. God, he was beautiful, the type of beautiful that renders me
temporarily speechless. I wasn’t sure how long I stood there searching for
something to say, but it was long enough for me to completely forget my own
name.

“I’m
here with my boyfriend,” I finally blurted. It came out so quickly I wasn’t
even sure he understood a word I said. Why did I always turn into a blabbering
mess when I was nervous? Did I mention that when he smiled, two magnificent
dimples appeared? Dammit.
I
watched him look around and then he smiled. “I don’t see a boyfriend. Sorry,
you’re going to have to come up with something a little better than that. Try
again.” Who did this guy think he was?
I
pressed my lips into a tight line. “No, I’m really here with my boyfriend.
Right, Jade?” I turned around to pull her into the conversation, but she was
gone. This was not going well. This mystery man had unnerved me by putting his
hands on my body and flashing those incredible dimples and there was no one
around to save me. I was stuck on the dance floor with a sexy stranger while my
boyfriend and best friend were nowhere to be found. Ryan was probably sitting
at the bar, slowly nursing his first beer, while
Jade was doing God knows what with a guy whose name she would never know.
I hesitantly turned back toward him until our
eyes met again. He seemed amused as he continued to smile down at me. “So do
you want to keep dancing? Or can I buy you a drink?” He shouted over the music.
