Synopsis:
Secretly crushing
Crushed by a tragedy
Charlee May’s been crushing on Dexter Hollingworth since she was fifteen. Five years later, a horrific skiing disaster at Mason’s Ski Lift Resort leaves her millionaire dad critically injured and her mom dead at the hands of Dexter operating the lifts. Charlee is suddenly the sole caretaker for her little brother while their world falls apart.
Dexter couldn’t be more different from Charlee. He’s tattooed, avoids exclusive relationships and his Dad has a fair share of illegal dealings. With Dexter’s reputation, almost everyone believes he planned the Mason’s skiing disaster.
And after all these years he’s still crushing on Charlee May, the girl who’s too good for him.
When this cruel twist of fate ties Charlee’s family and Dexter’s reputation together, Charlee and Dexter wonder if their feelings are reciprocated, while Dexter discovers his dad is trying to steal the May’s millionaire fortune.
But like an addiction, one look, one touch, one taste—they’re hooked no matter the consequences.

EXCERPT 1:
Dexter Hollingworth “killed” my
parents.
1. Killer Crush
Charlee
As per all the fourteen- to eighteen-year-olds at our school, I
started crushing on Dexter Hollingworth around the age of fifteen. There was
one girl who hated him, but she was into girls.
From
the football field sidelines to graduation day and beyond, my best friend Rosa
and I have wanted him. But guys like Dexter don’t notice girls like us who
spend most of our time talking about cool people like him.
At
twenty years old, I still “love” him.
I love
the way his body personifies what a male God should be without looking like
Fabio.
I love
the way his perfect tanned skin is inked and how he wears those aviator sunglasses
and how he’d use up his lunchtimes to teach the little kids in our school
guitar lessons.
But I hate the way I love him.
I hate
how Dexter was the one controlling the ski lifts at Mason’s Ski Resort the day
my mom was killed because it also put me here, in this position, praying to a
God I’ve never believed in to spare my dad’s life.
In this
hospital room, the air is as quiet as the still of night and my dad’s languid
breathing and drawn-out, heavy movements remind me that my perfect family life
was never meant to be forever.
