RELEASE DATE: END SEPTEMBER 2013
“You don’t realize someone was missing from your life until the moment they enter it.”
Estella Markson is a good girl. She
studies hard, stays out of trouble, and is struggling to hold together her
family that is falling apart because of her alcoholic father.
Vincent Madden is the guy your mother
warned you to stay away from. He doesn’t follow the rules, is in a notorious
motorcycle gang, and doesn’t care if he breaks the law or someone’s bones.
After a chance encounter, Vincent starts
to take an interest in the innocent girl who is so different to him. Despite
Vincent’s infamous reputation, Estella is also intrigued by him. There is
something about this bad boy that gives her an escape from her world of
problems, and she can’t stay away.
Even as they struggle with the problems in their
lives, Vincent and Estella soon find that trying to forget is easier with
someone by your side.
Recommended for mature readers 17+
“This
might surprise you, but I’m not some damsel in distress. I know how to
change a tire.” My voice came out harsher than I’d intended and for a second I
actually felt guilty for coming across so rude.
Sure,
Vincent had been pretty cold towards me the last few times I’d been here, but
there was no reason for me to be acting the same way. It frustrated me how he
brought out this whole other side to me. It was a side I wasn’t sure what to
think of.
That
guilt quickly vanished when Vincent’s lips turned upwards in a smirk. “Is that
why you’re turning the bolt the wrong way?”
My
face suddenly felt hot, like I’d doused it in lava. I dropped the spanner and
rose to my feet, looking Vincent squarely in the eyes. “Look, I know what I’m
doing.” My voice faltered at the intense look in his eyes. A heat was radiating
from his body and seeping into mine, making it difficult to think. “I just-uh
find your annoying eyes on me disturbing.”
“I
have annoying eyes?” He cocked a brow that made my stomach twist into knots.
“Well, let me just step aside with my eyes and I’ll have a word with them about
their annoying behavior.”
Komal Kant is the author of IMPOSSIBLE, FALLING FOR
HADIE, and the upcoming WRONG SIDE OF TOWN. She currently lives in Sydney, but
wishes she lived all over the world.
Her weird-filled days are filled with imaginary
characters who often speak to her in hushed tones before stealing her lunch
money; Siberian Huskies who talk back a lot; and the growing need to clone
herself so she can write faster.
You can often find her swooning over fictional male
characters who smirk a lot, superhero-related movies, and Ryan Gosling. So, if
there was ever a superhero movie with Ryan Gosling in it smirking a lot, she
would pass out from an overload of swooniness.
Thanks for the teaser and giveaway :)
