Nineteen year old Daniel Colton is the guy all the girls want to date, and the
man all the guys want to be. Moody, with an explosive temper, closed off and
sullen, he’s also beautiful, tatted in delicious ways, with a pierced eyebrow
and spiky black hair. It’s rumoured he has piercings in other places, too. Is
he really mad, bad and dangerous to know?
Daniel lives with his older brother, Zef, and their home is party central. You
want drugs, a good time, liquor, no questions asked? Colton’s is the place to
go.
When Daniel and good girl Lisanne Maclaine have to work together on an
assignment, Lisanne finds there’s a lot more to the college’s bad boy than his
reputation. He’s intelligent and funny and good company. And then she discovers
his secret, why he’s so closed off to everyone, and determined to keep people
at arms’ length. But being his secret-keeper is harder than she ever dreamed.
Who is Daniel
This is the journey and development of Daniel, a first year college
undergraduate, majoring in business.
Both of Daniel’s parents died two years ago in a car wreck. Daniel has an older
brother Zef who deals in drugs and the once typical, blue-collar American
family home is now a trashed drug den because of Zef’s never ending revolving
door of party goers and ‘clients’. If you want ‘it’ everyone knows you go to
Zef’s place to get ‘it’.
Daniel keeps to himself. Everything about his behaviour is unwelcoming.
Although beautiful, Daniel oozes arrogance: he’s tall and slim with spiky black
hair, has a broad back and strong muscular arms complete with swirls of red,
gold and black tattoos drifting down to his elbows, and matching nipple rings.
He wears Ray Bans, a leather jacket, and has a silver ring piercing his left
eyebrow, smokes cigarettes, drinks booze and drives around on a 1969 Harley
Davidson.
Daniel is the ‘hard’ boy; a player. Daniel is angry. Daniel has a secret. Daniel
is deaf (this is a spoiler, please don't reveal – Daniel’s deafness is inferred
from the very beginning but it is not fully revealed until the end of chapter
two ). Music, once the centre of his life, is now lost to him.
Who is Lisanne
Lisanne is a first year college undergraduate, majoring in music (classical
violin) with a minor in business. Lisanne also happens to be a great singer
with a penchant for blues and indie rock, and becomes the lead of a local band.
Lisanne comes from a ‘nice’ family complete with a mom and dad who are math
teachers, a younger brother, and a typical ‘white picket fence’, middle class,
American home, complete with a large peach tree in the front yard.
Lisanne is the ‘soft’ girl; an innocent girl, a 'library' girl.
