When his

Because of

But fate
has a wicked sense of justice and when Ricky realizes the sweet, shy girl
in his class is the one who wrecked his family, will he be able to walk
away? Or will the bitter rage inside cause him to make the biggest mistake of
his life?
Because of

Excerpt
He
circled the bike, standing in front of me, arms crossed over his chest. “What’d
you think of that lecture, mariposa?”
My
eyes slid to the side, the floor, the ceiling. A slow burn traveled up my neck,
settling on my cheeks. “It was… interesting, Freud, you know...” I laughed, a
weird, awkward, uncomfortable sound escaping my lips. God, I sounded like a
freak. Get it together, girl. Instead
of wringing my hands together, I pushed my glasses higher up on my nose.
Ricky
looked down at me, his eyes crinkling, and lips curved. “Interesting, huh?”
My
hands shot out to the sides, “I’m sure you know all about that stuff… the
stages and sex and… yeah.” I blew out a breath, my cheeks puffing, in what I
was sure was the sexiest look I’d managed to pull off yet. “I’ve only done some
light reading. That was new to me and frankly, a bit uncomfortable to hear
around you because of your general hotness and all.”
Did I say light reading?
General hotness?
Oh. My. God.
