WILD RECKLESS
Very Mature YA Contemporary Romance
Scheduled to release: March 17, 2015
BLURB:
Kensington Worth had a vision for her senior year. It involved her best friends, her
posh private school in downtown Chicago and time alone with her piano until her
audition was perfected, a guaranteed ticket into the best music programs in the
world.
Instead, a nightmare took over.
It didn’t happen all at once, but her life unraveled quickly—a tiny thread that evil
somehow kept pulling until everything precious was taken from her. She was
suddenly living miles away from her old life, trapped in an existence she didn’t
choose—one determined to destroy her from the inside, leaving only hate and anger
behind. It didn’t help that her neighbor, the one whose eyes held danger, was
enjoying every second of her fall.
Owen Harper was trouble, his heart wild and his past the kind that’s spoken about in
whispers. And somehow, his path was always intertwined with Kensington’s, every
interaction crushing her, ruining her hope for any future better than her now. Sometimes, though, what everyone
warns is trouble, is exactly what the heart needs. Owen Harper was consumed with
darkness, and it held onto his soul for years. When Kensington looked at him, she
saw a boy who’d gotten good at taking others down when they threatened his
carefully balanced life. But the more she looked, the more she saw other things
too—good things…things to admire.
Things…to love. Things that made her want to be reckless.
And those things…they
were the scariest of all.
Excerpt:
I dodge backpacks and elbows through the busy hallway until I see the glass
door of the principal’s office swing open, Owen stepping through, his own pink slip
crumpled in his hand, his eyes still dark, angry.
“Are you okay?” I ask,
walking up to him, my steps coming quicker. He grabs my hand fast, his grip on my
fingers tight, almost painful, and pulls me behind him through the thick crowd in the
hall until we reach the back door, near the loading zone for the cafeteria. He pushes
down hard, forcing the door open, then pulls my arm, leading me around a corner to
a line of recycling bins.
“I’m so sorry…” I start, but Owen’s hands find
me fast, his fingers wrapping around my shoulders, his force moving me back until
I’m flush with the wall, and then his lips crash down on me.
His hands
slide from my shoulders to my neck and into my hair, his mouth covering mine as if
he needs my air to breathe, and he closes the small distance between us, the warmth
and hardness of him pressing into my body, my hands operating on their own
instinct, finding his sides and back until I’m clinging to him, grabbing bunches of his
black sweatshirt all at once.
Owen’s hand moves to his head while he’s
kissing me, and he tosses his hat to the ground to the side of us, and I let my fingers
move to his hair, weaving the strands in and out, letting the softness of them curl
around me.
This is the best kiss of my life. Every kiss with Owen has
been the best kiss of my life. But this one—it’s full of something more. His lips work
mine for long seconds, his tongue passing over mine slowly, his teeth dragging over
my bottom lip, my top lip, tugging on me and pulling me into him even deeper. I can
feel his heartbeat through his shirt, and I let my hands roam over his chest and
around his back again, the feel of him exactly as it is every time I dream.
