When you're trapped in an elevator with the hottest billionaire playboy on campus...

“I don’t think you have any idea what I think of you, Shae.”

And that’s it. He says my name, and the way he rolls the vowels feels as intimate as if he’d touched me.

“You…think of me?” I say, and I’m grateful I deliver the words without a crack in my voice.

“Oh, yes. I think about you.” He chuckles and closes the gap between us. “I like you, Shae Rivers. I like you a lot. So yes, I think about you. A lot.”

The words hang between us, and the emergency lights of the elevator slash across half of his face. The Wintermint scent from the gum cools my cheeks, but still, it does nothing for the way I'm getting turned on.

“Oh?” I say again and lick my lips.

“Don’t do that, Sweetness,” he grinds out, and holy shhh—with him that close to me and the way the words rumble from his mouth….

“Don’t do what?” I ask. My head drops back against the wall as he comes closer. Even closer.

“Don’t lick those delectable lips. Not unless you want me to lick them for you next.” Oh.

“I’m sorry,” I whisper, then I whimper, because this close, I get a true glimpse of the smile that makes all the girls at Asheford University go wild.

When I lick my lips again, Storm’s face transforms. Gone is his teasing, sensual grin, and in its place is…darkness.

Oh, snap. What have I gotten myself into?

“What did I say about you saying ‘sorry?’”

Begin Shae and Storm’s journey through secrets and second chances.
