SYNOPSIS:
Today’s premiere New Adult authors combine their talents to tell four
original stories from inside one house.
When four girls decide to live
off campus together as juniors at a college in Michigan, they expect it to be
their best year yet. Little do they know, it’s a year that will change the rest
of their lives.
BEHIND HER EYES by A.L. Jackson
Unable to live down her ex-boyfriend’s deception, Misha is determined to
avoid betrayal. When, the new guy next door, Darryn starts to get under her
skin, her defenses start to crumble. But trusting Darryn seems impossible,
especially if he’s not sure he can trust himself.
SAVING ME by Molly McAdams
On the outside, Indy is always ready for a party—but inside she’s
breaking. Kier makes a weekly routine of saving the girl next door from herself
on Saturday nights… but when will she be ready to remember him on Sunday
morning?
FOULING OUT by Tiffany King
Working at a sports bar, Courtney has become a pro at sidestepping
propositions from arrogant jocks—which makes her a more elusive catch for
campus basketball star Dalton than he expected. But when he falls for the saucy
waitress, Dalton will have to rethink his game plan to prove he’s not the jerk
Courtney expects.
BENEATH YOUR LAYERS by Christina Lee
In order to ace her fashion internship, Chloe must team up with local
college dropout and set builder, Blake—much to her chagrin. But after some
"hands-on" experience, Chloe will have to ask herself if Blake
factors into her carefully laid plans…
I motioned for the bar. “Want me to get you a soda or a water?”
Chloe stared at me for another long moment before she said, “No, thanks.”
We listened to the next song quietly standing beside each other, lost in our own thoughts. Until she turned to me and said, “Truth or dare?”
“Dare,” I said, almost breathless. Given her mood, maybe she’d give me something good this time.
“Your turn, Blake,” she said. “Do something spontaneous.”
My fingers trembled from wanting to touch her so badly and all I could think about was doing just that.
“You sure that’s what you want?” I said, turning and backing her against the wall.
“Yes,” she breathed out.
“Something spontaneous or something I’ve been thinking about doing for days?” I said, my lips coming closer to hers. “Maybe weeks?”
Her breath caught. “It . . . it’s your call.”
My head swung forward, our foreheads practically touching. Fluttery breaths were escaping her lips. I place my arms on either side of her head and she bit down on her lip.
My heart thrashed in my chest and all I could think about was how desperate I was to kiss her, but how nervous I was to blow this opportunity.
So I attempted to read her signals and they were definitely mixed. Her eyes flitted between panic and lust.
When I pinned my hip against hers, I could’ve sworn I heard a low moan in the back of her throat.
“Please,” she rasped out. “Please . . . don’t . . . Blake.”
My stomach was in my throat. Fuck, either I’d scared her or I’d been reading her wrong.
I leaned back to give her space, but her fingers suddenly skimmed across my waist, clenching my shirt and drawing me nearer.
“Don’t what?” I asked in confusion. She was so fucking messing with my head.
“Don’t . . .” She was panting now. “Don’t stop.”
