LOGINEmery Watson moves to New York to pursue her career in sociology and rekindle her relationship with her estranged brother. What she didn't anticipate was meeting Holden Harris the baddest of the bad and Jett Forbes a bad boy with a weakness for girls with pretty eyes and smiles. Holden traps her in his web of lies and she is forced to go along with his antics. Jett is willing to change his ways to be the man she needs but when things get steamy with Holden instead she is stuck between following her heart and doing the right thing... which is sometimes not always the same thing.
View MoreHolden's POVI woke up on the beach next to a beautiful girl. She slept silently beside me. Her body rose and fell and I covered her with the other half of the beach towel and sat on the sand.I had to tell her she wasn't my type. If I told her I was attracted to her I didn't know how she would react. Good or bad reaction I felt it would have a negative end result.If I told her how I felt she would like me and I'd want to kiss her and touch her. I didn't want to break her heart. I denied myself her because I wasn't going to be that big of an asshole and destroy her.If her reaction was negative and she felt creeped out by it she would never want to see me again.She was a good girl and I was not the guy she needed in her life. Jessie's little brother would do for her. But she needed an adventure and that little shit taking her to a motorcycle race then to a dumb party afterward— with predators lurking was idiotic.If I couldn't have her it didn't mean I couldn't give her memories. I c
I looked at Holden and he looked like he was concentrating hard. His knuckles were red. "Do you have a first aid kit?" I asked, as he tried to maneuver the car through traffic. "In my cubby. Why did you cut yourself?" He asked and I moved to get the first aid kit. I took his hand and he looked at me. "I'm fine you don't have to," I didn't listen to him as I rubbed an ointment for cuts and bruises over his knuckles. He flinched at the sudden burn and I blew on his knuckles. I looked up at him and he was watching me work. I wrapped the bandage around his knuckles and made a small knot. "Bambi, you didn't have to do that. It would have been okay." "Well you were protecting my honor yet again and it was the least I could." "I'd punch anyone for you," he said causing me to smile. "Good to know." He had a goofy grin on his face as he made a turn and I noticed we were going to his apartment. "An adventure in your apartment. Great, what will I be doing?" He smirked devilishly at me. "I
After classes, every day I cooked for Holden and Mason. I thought I would be in for torture working for Holden but it was better than working for Giovanni.No rich men were hitting on me. No indecisive customers and I didn't get treated like a servant. Mason usually kept me company when Holden worked in his room.I dried my hands with a dish towel. Holden was sitting down at the kitchen island finishing his dinner. "I guess if that's everything I'll be on my way out.""Hot date?" He asked."Not a date per se but Jett asked me to go to that motorcycle event with him."Holden smirked, taking a sip from his glass. "So a date. Good for you, Bambi."He moved to place his plate in the dishwasher."It's not a date," I said, "not that it is any of your business that Jett and I decided to be friends —until I'm done helping you with your family."Holden's grin was saying he had more to say. "What?" I asked."I don't know, Bambi, what if this lie never ends and we have to get married.""I'm not m
After the weekend I had it was hard to concentrate on lectures. I found myself slipping easily into a daydream. I tried to concentrate but since I didn't read any of the assigned chapters it was easier to stare at the lecturer and act like I knew what they were saying, meanwhile I was in a galaxy far far away.After the last lecture of the day, Jett drove me home. It wasn't even hard to concentrate on what he said most of the time. My mind was just not my own for the day."Are you okay?" Jett asked. It was half an hour till three and I had to go to Holden's apartment as per our arrangement.So in laments terms, I was not okay. I was the exact opposite of it and maybe it was the cause of why I had been so distracted most of the day. I was freaked out with a combination of nervousness. Who knew the Pandora's box that awaited me this evening at Holden's apartment.But I had a feeling if I could just get through this week then the rest of my life would fall into a routine. "Emery," Jett c
I got into the car with Holden. His mother and sister wanted to end the evening with a nice lunch and were still deciding on a restaurant. Which left us driving around until they came to a decision."I still think this was a very bad idea. We should have considered how big this lie would actually get
I woke up and Holden was gone. I was surprised at how clean his room was left. I trotted my way to the bathroom splashing some cold water on my face. It was sad to say that Holden's chaise was better than the bed I slept on. I walked out of the room to see his sister standing by the oven. "Good morn
"Jett I have to go to work." I stomped my foot down hard. He was being ridiculous and acting like a petulant child. I checked my wristwatch seeing I had twenty minutes to get to work."Agree to go to the race with me." He dodged me, dashing across the room with my bag ra
Emery I was furious. Just who did he think he was. I wiped down the tables in the restaurant, throwing the tablecloths into the wash cart. I had a few more weeks to go to get that raise and prove everyone wrong and tonight I almost slipped.That pompous, arrogant... English snob with his stupid accen
