Book Description:
Stone Hamilton had never known fear...until the accident. Since then, his life has spiraled out of control. He's been kicked out of private school, deemed a disappointment by his father, and forced to endure his own guilt, anger, and grief. The last thing he wants is a relationship with someone who will have expectations of him. But once he's enticed by the shimmering-pink lips of the oh-so-popular, academically-excelling, straitlaced hottie from his new school, he knows he's in trouble.
Seventeen-year-old Dara Golding has one goal for the summer: make enough money to buy a car, so that she can drive to school her senior year. After starting a new job, she realizes that she'll be working with the brooding, motorcycle-riding, bad boy who started attending Quail Mountain High last year. With his less than stellar reputation, he's everything she's afraid of...and that makes him dangerous.
Their undeniable attraction has Stone struggling with his inner demons. As Dara slowly allows Stone to claim her heart, a little white lie to cover an ugly truth could determine whether she's his savior or the final straw that will break his sanity.
Suzannah Daniels has had an
affinity for words for as long as she can remember. She grew up in North
Georgia with four brothers, so she learned at an early age to admire snakes and
motorcycles. When she wasn't pestering her brothers, she could usually be
found reading or writing.
She is the author of Viking's
Embrace, a historical romance, Ghostly Encounter, Book One of her Ghostly
series (young adult paranormal romance), and Dangerous, a young adult
contemporary romance.
Currently, she lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee with
her husband and her teenage daughter. Her son lives nearby. The
family pets include a Lab mix, a Basset Hound, a Shih Tzu, and a sweet, little
kitty.

“I’m so sorry,” she whispered
frantically. “Are you okay?”
I rubbed the side of my temple, trying to determine the answer to
her question. I felt a lump rising, and I closed my eyes for just a moment and
breathed deeply.
“Let me see,” she said.
I held my palm up toward her. “I’m fine.” I dropped my palm to my
knee, not yet rising from my stooped position.
Before I knew what she was doing, her fingers were in my
hair, her gentle touch skimming over the spot where our heads bumped. She
was so close that I could smell the delicate fragrance on her skin, and I
found myself enticed by her.
“Oh, my gosh!” she exclaimed. “A knot. Great. My first day of
work, and I’ve already given someone a concussion.”
I laughed, but I didn’t move. I didn’t know why I found her
comment so amusing or why I didn’t want her to move her hands. Slowly, I rose,
catching her slender wrists in my grasp. “I’m fine,” I said, feeling the
pulse in her wrist quicken against my fingertips. Her brilliant green eyes
widened, and her full, shimmering-pink lips parted in surprise. “What about
you?” I asked.
I wasn’t sure if she heard my question. She stared at me in shock
as if she had just been caught making out behind the bleachers by the
principal.
“Dara?” I asked, starting to wonder if she was the one with
the concussion.
“I’m…fine,” she said breathlessly.
I’d been around enough girls to know when I had an effect on them.
And she was definitely affected.
Dara wasn’t the type of female I usually hung out with, but
it was nice to know I had the same effect on the goody-two-shoes that I did on
the bad girls.
My phone buzzed, and I pulled it out of my pocket, glancing at the
caller’s name. Speaking of bad girls, Jessie was calling.

I thought my heart was going to pound out of my chest. If I
hadn’t still been freezing from the cold rain that soaked my hair and clothes,
sweat would’ve been trickling down my temples. The warmth from his hands was
like heaven against my icy skin, but his close proximity was dangerous to my
hammering heart. In fact, if I had to describe Stone Hamilton in one word,
it would be dangerous.
